Australia secured their sixth World Cup title by defeating India by six wickets in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Opening batsman Travis Head’s century and Marnus Labuschagne’s unbeaten fifty played pivotal roles in chasing down the target of 241 in 43 overs.
Captain Pat Cummins’ decision to field after winning the toss proved crucial, as he bowled a tight spell, conceding 34 runs and taking two wickets in 10 overs. Following the victory, Cummins shared celebratory moments on Instagram, including a photo of Mitchell Marsh holding a pint with his feet resting on the World Cup trophy.
