A day after winning their sixth ICC Cricket World Cup title by defeating India at the Narendra Modi stadium, the Australian Cricket Team took a ride on the Sabarmati River Cruise in Gujarat's Ahmedabad.
Talking about the World Cup final match, Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first. India scored 240/10 in 50 overs with the help of half-centuries by Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, who scored Virat Kohli (54 off 63) and KL Rahul (66 off 107). Rohit Sharma initiated a solid start for India, scoring 30 runs in just four overs, taking charge against Josh Hazlewood.
Australia had a shaky start as they lost David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Steve Smith early, leaving Australia at 47-3. However, opener Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne stiched a strong 192-run partnership, with Travis Head getting out on 137. Labuschagne remained unbeaten on 58 and steered Australia to victory, securing their sixth ICC 50-over World Cup trophy.
After the match, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alongside Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles, presented the coveted ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy to Australian skipper Pat Cummins. India had won ten matches in a row and were the favourites leading up to this match, but were outplayed by Australia on the day, who had started their tournament by losing two matches in a row but then went on to win nine in a row, including the final, to further extend their dominance in World Cricket.
