Delhi: The day of 19 November 2023 is a bitter memory for Indian cricket fans. On the same day, Australia broke India's dream of winning the World Cup and captured the trophy in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

A dream-filled journey, but defeat in the finals

The Indian team remained unbeaten in the entire tournament. The team reached the finals with strong performance in every match, but five-time champion Australia took advantage of the conditions and defeated India to win the ODI World Cup for the sixth time.

Match status: India's struggle

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl. The Indian team lost three big wickets in the first 11 overs. After this, Virat Kohli (54) and KL Rahul tried to take over the innings, but Pat Cummins' lethal bowling took Kohli's wicket. During this, the Australian bowlers bowled strategically and did not give the Indian batsmen a chance to score runs, due to which the host team struggled and could only score 240 runs.

Travis Head becomes Australia's hero – great comeback after initial setbacks

Australia lost three wickets in the beginning while chasing the target. But Travis Head played a century, while Marnus Labuschagne gave him full support. The innings of these two took the match away from India. Head played an unbeaten inning of 137* in 120 balls, which included 15 fours and 4 sixes. His century broke the hearts of crores of Indian fans. Australia performed brilliantly and won the final and won the shining trophy.
