India vs Australia: A billion heartbreaks as India lose
the ICC 2023 World Cup Final
We
will never forget Sunday, 19th Nov 2023. It was a fantastic match
India v Australia. The Indian team won all matches in this global tournament
and looked sure to win the World Cup, but Australia played very well and Australia became Champions again. Losing and
winning are part of the game. Australia breaks the streak for the first time in
13 years, a host nation has not won the men's ODI World Cup. The hosts were bowled out for 240 and once Travis Head settled in,
Australia never looked like losing. The result shattered India's dreams. Millions of Indians are nursing broken
hearts after the national cricket team lost to Australia in the World Cup final
on an historic Sunday.
Australia,
who have now lifted the World Cup six times, won by six wickets with seven
overs left to play. The match was played in the world's largest stadium in the
western state of Gujarat and more than 100,000 fans showed up at the Narendra
Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
On the behalf of the Australian Pakistani
Community, the Editorial Board of Sada-e-Watan Sydney would like to Congrats to
our Aussie cricket team for a great performance. What an amazing win by
Australia. Great to see this team and individuals get the credit and reward
they deserve. Amazing night for Australian sport. Well done. Well done Cricket
Australia for a record-breaking World Cup 2023 win. Prime
Minister Narendra Modi watched the ICC World Cup cricket final between India
and Australia in the last hour of the match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in
Ahmedabad. Australian Deputy PM Richard Marles was also present.
