IND vs AUS, WC Final: Stats Prove Why India Can Win Despite Paltry First-Innings Total

Despite a paltry first innings total, here's why India still has a chance to win the ODI World Cup 2023 Final.

In India vs England ODI WC 2023 match at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, India defeated England by 100 runs after getting all out for just 229/9 in 50 overs.

In the last 12 editions of the ODI World Cup, teams have won the final by chasing only five times.

Among these victories from chasing, merely three occasions involved successfully chasing a target of 200 or more runs.

India stand as the sole team in ODI World Cup history to achieve the highest successful run chase in a final.

India hold the distinction of being the only team to chase down a target exceeding 250 runs in a World Cup Final.

Lowest targets defended by a team in World Cup 2023: 230 - NED vs BAN in Kolkata, 230 - Ind vs Eng in Lucknow, 246 - NED vs SA in Dharamsala

But here's why Indian fans need to worry! Out of the past ten instances where India has been bowled out in ODI World Cups, including the most recent one today and dating back to 2003, the Men in Blue have faced defeat in seven instances, and one match ended in a tie. India's sole victory in such circumstances occurred against West Indies in Chennai during the 2011 World Cup.
