New Delhi. Australia badly defeated India in the final match of World Cup 2023. At one point, it looked like India would win the match easily, but Australia won the World Cup for the sixth time thanks to the brilliant batting of Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. Rohit Sharma could not score big in the World Cup final. Along with this, the prediction of former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has also been proved wrong.
After the semi-final match between India and New Zealand, Shoaib Akhtar said, “India beat New Zealand badly. It seemed that Rohit Sharma had a problem with Mitchell Santner and Trent Boult. They beat him severely. I am a bit sad that he could not complete his century. He could have scored many centuries in this World Cup. I thought maybe in the semi-finals. But whatever, he will score a century in the final.
