2023 World Cup Winner: Australia broke 1.4 billion hearts in the action-packed and emotional climax of the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup final against India. On November 19, India and Australia clashed in the final match of the World Cup at the 130,000-packed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
India was the favourite to win, considering it was playing at home in front of a friendly crowd, had won all previous games and defeated Australia in the league stage. But Australia isn’t considered the most dominant team in cricket for no reason.
The Aussies had won the World Cup title five times before and came with fierce intentions. From losing its first two games by a big margin to winning the sixth CWC title, Australia’s feat was nothing short of remarkable.
India gave it their all in the 2023 World Cup but faltered in the finals. Australia secured an easy and dominant victory, beating India by 6 wickets.
FROM BOTTOM OF THE TABLE TO WORLD CHAMPIONS!
Just Australia things 🤷♀️
