On Sunday, November 19, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Australia, the India national team was
destroyed to bring the ICC World Cup 2023 to a conclusion. The Indian squad appeared to be a shadow of
their former selves in the most important match, despite being on a dream run of winning ten straight
games with convincing ease.
With the coin flip, India’s problems started. It was believed that the dew formation from the previous
evening would reappear at the venue, giving the side bowling second an unfair advantage. Australia won
the toss and elected to bat first, and Rohit and company saw that they would need to score well, as they
had up to that point in the tournament, in order to protect themselves from any potential dew formation
when they bowled. The hitters were therefore already under strain.
Additionally, it was a slow pitch that did not allow for unfettered batting throughout the innings. The
ball did not strike the bat in the same way as the Indian hitters were accustomed to, and more crucially,
it considerably favored the spinners. Batting was initially easier when the ball was new because of the
powerplay, which allowed players to take more chances and score runs at will. The combination between
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli demonstrated this, and they repeated the feat, reaching 46 runs off of 32
balls for the second wicket.
Against Glenn Maxwell, though, Rohit Sharma took one shot too many after smashing him for a four and a
six in the previous two deliveries, respectively. When he struck the six earlier in the over, Rohit was
not completely in control of it. He needed to use some caution at that point because the ball was already
whirling quite a little. However, Rohit tried to further dominate the bowler by going for another
boundary, continuing with his style of play.
With ten straight victories, India had a fantastic ODI World Cup 2023 campaign, making it all the way to
the finals. But on Sunday, November 19, in front of a crammed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad,
Australia trounced them by six wickets in the finals, and they were unable to cross the finish line. A
standout player for the ‘Men in Blue’ in the ten-team competition was Shreyas Iyer. The Mumbai
batsman congratulated Pat Cummins’ team on their record-breaking sixth ODI World Cup victory, using his
official ‘X’ handle. In addition, he expressed his heartbreak along with all Indians and expressed
gratitude to the BCCI, his teammates, the support staff, and the fans for their unwavering support.
It still hasn’t hit home for us and won’t for some time. We are devastated. I learned a lot from my
first World Cup experience, and it has made me thankful for everything in my life. I want to express my
gratitude to the @BCCI, team management, support personnel, my teammates, and all of the supporters who
have stood by us from the start to the finish. Additionally, Shreyas Iyer tweeted, “Congratulations on
a fantastic campaign to the entire Australian team.”
All-rounder Jimmy Neesham of New Zealand responded to hurtful words sent by disgruntled Indian supporters
following his team’s loss to Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final on Sunday in Ahmedabad.
Recognized for his direct tweets, Jimmy Neesham just flicked off the rude and vicious remarks in
response. To let them know that the Australia that defeated India by six wickets was not the same as New
Zealand, he utilized a brilliantly altered meme.

Prior to the intense ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final between Australia and India, veteran Indian
pacer Mohammed Shami mother, Anjum Ara, was admitted to the hospital. Australia won the match for the
sixth time on November 19, which took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Mohammed Shami mom was unable to attend the much-awaited match on Sunday. Ara, who is dealing with some
serious health problems, was taken to the hospital on Sunday morning after feeling lightheaded. The
pacer’s family had originally intended for everyone to be there at the match; instead, only Haseeb, his
older brother, and his relatives made the trip to Ahmedabad.
News 18 said that Ara recently discussed her chronic health difficulties with someone who had
communicated with her. On Sunday, though, she had a standard examination before being brought to the
hospital. Shami’s younger brother, Mohammed Kaif, a former domestic cricket player for India, was
oblivious to the circumstances.
Mohammed Shami top scores at the 2023 ODI World Cup
In the just-concluded ODI World Cup 2023, Mohammed Shami had a remarkable campaign. The 33-year-old has
missed India’s first four tournament games. He did, however, demonstrate his value when he was named in
the starting lineup for India’s sixth game at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala against New Zealand,
winning Player of the Match and claiming a fifer.
Then, at Mumbai’s storied Wankhede Stadium, the fast bowler put on another outstanding display in the
group stage match against Sri Lanka. In the game that saw the Men in Blue crushed by 302 runs, he
finished with fantastic figures of 5/18. Interestingly, in that game as well, he was named Player of the
Match.
In the Mumbai semifinal match, Shami’s other standout effort came against the Kiwis. Speaking of the
match, India chose to bat first and scored 397 runs in total. The pacer then completed with career-best
stats of 7/57 to win his third Player of the Match trophy in the competition. With 24 wickets from seven
games, the 33-year-old concluded the tournament as the top wicket-taker.
India went on to defeat New Zealand by an overwhelming 70 runs in the first semi-final of the 2023 World
Cup. Before the match began, there were rumors that the host country had changed the pitch for the
crucial match. They were eager to play on the field of their choice rather than the newly prepared one
used for the semifinal. Shubman Gill, an Indian cricket player, discussed the same issue at his news
conference after the game and said he didn’t know the full story.
“I recently learned that the pitch was the subject of dispute. In his post-match press conference,
Shubman Gill questioned, “What was the controversy?” Outlook cited him.
If I hadn’t experienced cramps, I would have received my hundred: Shubman Gill
Regarding the semi-final game, Rohit Sharma and Gill once again struck the mark in providing India with a
great start. Nevertheless, Gill’s performance at Wankhede was hampered by severe cramps as he attempted
to get his first World Cup century. While India amassed a huge 397 runs against New Zealand, Gill
withdrew at 79*.
Even though Shubman Gill came back into the game later on, the conditions of the match prevented him from
reaching his century, as he finished his innings with eight fours and three sixes to finish on 80* runs.
India will not participate in the ODI World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad on November 19.
“If I hadn’t experienced cramps, I would have received my 100. Whether or not I scored a hundred, we
were still able to reach the target total, which was what we had actually hoped for about the 25th or
30th over. It doesn’t matter if I received a hundred or not since we made that many,” Gill continued.
On Thursday, November 16, South Africa and Australia will square off in what looks to be a tantalizing
second semi-final at Kolkata’s famed Eden Gardens.
For the majority of the major events, the rain gods have been gracious. However, because rain has a
history of ruining important ICC events, supporters are constantly concerned about the weather on any
given matchday. It hasn’t rained in Kolkata in a few weeks, and the last four World Cup games at Eden
Gardens have gone on as scheduled.
But according to Weather.com, there’s a 24% probability of rain on Thursday. Rain is a greater hazard
during the night, with a likelihood of 64%. The fact that Eden Gardens boasts some of the best drainage
systems available for Indian cricket should give supporters hope. On Friday, there’s also a reserve
day. Still, the prediction for that day is even more worrisome. It’s vital to remember that the Proteas
will advance if the match finishes in a tie because they finished higher on the league phase points table
than Australia.
What behavior is expected from the pitch?
Eden Gardens has thus far provided one of the most evenly distributed pitches for the ODI World Cup 2023.
Bowlers have had adequate support, and when hitters have given themselves some breathing room in the
middle, they have also scored runs.
The team batting first has won three of the four games. As the games have progressed, the pitches have
also favored spinners. Australia has the in-form Adam Zampa in their ranks, while South Africa has two
frontline spinners, Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi. South Africa had the advantage of having one match
at this location during the tournament, but it wasn’t a particularly memorable one. India defeated
Temba Bavuma and Co. by an overwhelming 243 runs. The ‘Men in Yellow’ had won seven straight after
the Proteas defeated Australia by 134 runs in the league stage. When these two teams meet again, cricket
fans may anticipate an exciting match.
