ODI World Cup 2023, Final: Five Biggest Moments When India Lost vs Australia
Heartbreak once again
India were left heartbroken once again after 20 years as Australia beat them by six wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023 Final. Here are the five moments which triggered India's downfall in the match
Toss
It all started with the coin-flip which Australia won and elected to bowl first on a slow and dry pitch which got better under lights for batting.
Rohit and Iyer out inside 5 balls
Batting at 47, Rohit played one shot too many and got out. Iyer, who's been in superb from, got out five balls later to leave India in trouble inside 11 overs.
Kohli's wicket
Virat was batting on 54 when he inside-edged a ball onto the stumps in 29th over with India at 148. The Indian innings derailed after that, managing only 92 more in rest of the overs.
Four boundaries in 40 overs
India batters could manage only four boundaries after the first 10 overs! A testimony to brilliant bowling by Australia after the 1st powerplay.
Head and Labuschagne
India needed wickets to win and they managed three of them before Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne added 192 for 4th wicket, taking the game away from India.
