ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (241/4) defeat India (240 all out) by 6 wickets to win the final of ICC World Cup 2023

[Buffet]

It's a low total and dew will be there soon. Spinners did nothing in first inning.

 

[Devadwal]

25% runs already scored .match is totally in Australia hand now .

 

[Mas-LFC]

Over bowled Shami in the first pp. Shami always been first change bowler. It worked but 3 overs then should have brought Siraj.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Well they gifted you 3 wickets.

obviously, you did'nt see the near misses or the lucky runs

 

[Ahmed216]

Smith will take those reviews back to Australia

 

[LongHorn]

So then IPL shold be full of SL , BD and neth players??!!!!

Marsh's shot was weird given the circumstances, slashign at wide ball, then winking
Smith not reviewing when he is someone who reviews 9 times out of 10

 

[kron]

If india get head and Maxwell out it's over.

 

[Kianig89]

Aus have gone Pakistan way , completely shocked at their approach this is WC final and they are callous where is there Steve Waugh and Bevan

Thought he winked at bumrah but yea would like to know what that was about.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Everything in life is fishy. Why bother with cricket then?

rehne de Bhai.....it does not fit with the 'sab kooc pheexed hai' narrative..

 

[Buffet]

Shami was too expensive in these 5 overs. Siraj will always give many hit me balls. Aus just need to bat normally and get a partnership.

 

[Ahmed216]

If india get head and Maxwell out it's over.

Amazing insight

 

[Sunzi]

The cauldron is literally like playing with a 12th player. It's a massive advantage.

Shami hasn't even bowled well today. Spraying it but that's what a 12th man + the DJ cheerleading will do.

Jadeja on. Rahul been decidedly poor keeping wicket so far.

 

[Sycamore]

Kudos to India for putting an Australian side under pressure. All Aussies needed was a 70 runs partnership. And the target will be close to 100 runs .

 

[Marooned]

Ok. Then watch Indian innings and then come back.

PS: It'd be a torture to see it again though

There were no gifts. Aussies were made to work hard for each wicket.

Here 2 batsmen chased borderline wide balls and the 3rd one was not out and refused to review.

Rachin ravindra jadeja on strike.

 

[ChTab]

KL (Kamran Akmal) Rahul

 

[OldWarHorse]

Rahul having a mare

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

We need to build up some dots....else its bye bye

 

[RehanG]

Kl Rahul is such a bad keeper.

I think Pant would walk back in to team as soon as he's fit.

Don't make your bias look so apparent, lol

 

[Marooned]

obviously, you did'nt see the near misses or the lucky runs

Well the wickets were gifts regardless.

 

[kron]

Looks a very sticky wicket tbh.

Why isn't siraj bowling lol? Run machine will go for 50 here too

 

[Kianig89]

Aus need to focus but this Indian bowling is also a formidable unit

 

[Ahmed216]

Jadeja will get Head soon

 

[Kianig89]

A veteran Warner completely threw the kitchen sink

 

[Marooned]

Don't make bias look so apparent, lol

Not sure why are you so worked up. That's exactly what happened.

 

[kron]

Smith was not out?

 

[Sunzi]

Jadeja causing issues.

 

[Ali Active]

head is not picking jadeja

 

[shah_1]

Head is clueless against Jadeja

Only dew can save them otherwise no chance against this attack

 

[Marooned]

Smith was not out?

Yes. Poor guy. Impact outside off.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Well they gifted you 3 wickets.

Apart from Iyer and KL, every wicket was gifted to them then

 

[Asif321]

Tight game

 

[Kianig89]

Shami already bowled half his overs, 176 in 234 they have huge gap

 

[kron]

Really Smith not out? Thought it looked clean out

 

[Sunzi]

Kuldeep on.

 

[rhony]

Decent over by Jaddu. Head has been incredibly lucky so far. No dew yet and damage has been done. Gotta pick up Head though

 

[MP2011]

Not sure why are you so worked up. That's exactly what happened.

Ok, if you say so. I know what I saw when quite a few Indian batsmen gifted their wickets

 

[soso_killer]

Head looking at sea already against spin

 

[kron]

Yes. Poor guy. Impact outside off.

What an idiot. But umpore already raised the finger. So if it hit stumps he is gone anyway.

 

[Sunzi]

Really Smith not out? Thought it looked clean out

Same. Looked pretty plumb.

 

[Marooned]

Ok, if you say so. I know what I saw when quite a few Indian batsmen gifted their wickets

Which ones. Name them.

 

[rhony]

He is holding off Siraj. Doesn't want to give runs. Also get overs by spinners before dew sets in

 

[Kianig89]

A test of nerves , Andrew Mcdonald give boys a pep talk

 

[Devadwal]

Luck is not with us today .we are doomed

 

[kron]

Why isn't run machine siraj bowling lol? Cmon india we want siraj.

 

[MP2011]

Which ones. Name them.

Gill and Kohli to start off

 

[Marooned]

What an idiot. But umpore already raised the finger. So if it hit stumps he is gone anyway.

Nah. It wasn't umpires call. It was impact outside off. Would have been repealed

 

[Marooned]

Gill and Kohli to start off

Lol Kohli didn't do anything wrong. Just unlucky.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

C'mon Kulli...need Head....Lab is doing the number for us.....or hopefully an inspired bit of fielding/runout.,..c mon

 

[Captain]

Aus need to focus but this Indian bowling is also a formidable unit

Aussie batsman and umpire makes this Indian bowling really formidable..

 

[kron]

Sticky wicket.
Head is an amazing player.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Head is very dangerous he can take away the game

 

[Devadwal]

Maruns is best player of spin bowling .damn we are losing becouse of low total .270 would have been competitive

 

[7sins]

These 2 have to take it deep take 3-4 singles for next 15 overs

 

[mrtaim3]

No one appreciates how good KL Rahul has been with review calls.

 

[Buffet]

Aus needs to bat full overs till end and they will get these runs. Don't get bowled out.

 

[Bewal Express]

I see a score of 170 by Aus

 

[Sycamore]

What time does dew usually come in ?

 

[Buffet]

No one appreciates how good KL Rahul has been with review calls.

He has been spot on most of the times.

 

[kron]

Lol so many cracks. Day 2 pitch or 3?

 

[Spitfire]

I still can't get my head around that why didn't Smith review that LBW decision. He must have surely known that it had hit him outside off stump as he was a fair way across.

 

[zarak]

What's the due situation

 

[kron]

What time does dew usually come in ?

After 25 overs
But India have chemical spray advntage.

 

[7sins]

Any sign of dew ? It's almost 7:30

 

[rhony]

I still can't get my head around that why didn't Smith review that LBW decision. He must have surely known that it had hit him outside off stump as he was a fair way across.

Head told him it's out. Every batsman confers with his running partner

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What time does dew usually come in ?

Around or after 8pm

 

[Buffet]

Head is going to win this for Aus.

 

[kron]

Rigged? Also indian batting seemed sus. Slow pace batting. Something fishy.

 

[Devadwal]

Head is going to win this for Aus.

Yea head and marnus both are winning it for Australia

 

[Buffet]

Dew will come soon, don't give wickets to spinners.

 

[soso_killer]

Poor captaincy by Rohit here, get long-on up. Can't allow Labuschagne to settle by giving easy singles. Force him to play over the top, there's still enough runs to play with. Secondly, his role is to bat deep. I doubt he'll take the risks and advance down the wicket or hit through the top.

 

[Marooned]

Head is going to win this for Aus.

Dekho ji.

Another hypochondriac Indian fan

 

[Ahmed216]

Any sign of dew ? It's almost 7:30

Not yet

 

[kron]

Sky is the most useless batsman in this tournament surely?
Him and kl's knock lol was lol worthy. Most boring couple ever.

Hmmm. Like what will Labu do if settled?

He's a meaningless player this wc

 

[Sunzi]

Head is going to win this for Aus.

Truthfully, he looks like a walking wicket.

Literally for the reasons Punter just described, backfoot attacking play.

He's almost chopped on already and is inviting the ball on, exposing his stumps - and he hasn't exerted any pressure as a the trade-off.

 

[soso_killer]

Too many easy singles for my liking. Could learn a thing or two from Bavuma's captaincy

 

[7sins]

Last 5 overs been good for aus these 2 need to keep going no risk required
