ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[BALIK]

Another final and our batters choose to have an off day, not one but almost all of them. Sounds about right and repeat of both WTC finals, facepalm.

250 runs would be below par here but even this one is looking tricky atm, shouldn't be tough tho if we manage to bat 50 overs. Plus if we touch 280-290 mark, it won't be a match winning total but our bowlers will have something to play with.

I can't imagine India batting so badly in the final after dominating every match of the World Cup. My prediction was that India will dominate and win the final match as well. But now it looks like they won't be able to stay at the crease till 50 overs.

India managed to collect 215 runs in 45 overs, but they lost 8 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav is at the crease. But I don't see any batsmen to support Yadav. Suryakumar Yadav and Kuldeep Yadav are batting now. I am looking forward to see if India can bat 50 overs. It is quite understandable that India will not be able to collect 250 runs. I am not expecting too much from Suryakumar now as the Australian bowlers are doing great.

bad start by the Indian team, the situation is not at all looking good. A score of 340 or more would have been a defendable target for India, now a target of 250 looks like a distant dream. Australian bowlers are bowling so well today that they have taken 4 quick wickets and have placed a pause on runs. The current run rate is below 6 and another wicket now will destroy all the hopes of India winning the Cup. India now needs a big partnership from both the batter, they should only concentrate on ones and twos for now.

The Indian team's batting performance today was very poor due to which they did not score much runs against the Australians. If this small score gives Australia a target today then I think for sure India will lose the World Cup final match for the first time. Initially the target was for India to collect 350 runs but it didn't happen and it is very difficult for them to collect 250 runs now. Scoring 250 runs has become a very difficult task now that the Indian batsmen have already lost all the important wickets now only two wickets are left for India. Australia's bowling performance in today's game was outstanding everyone must agree and I think if Australia can bat well in the second innings in today's match then they will win the trophy. The way India lost their wickets is really unfortunate for them but if they can't put up a good bowling performance and put Australia under pressure then they will surely lose today.

SKY is the only one remaining who can accelerate the run. Only four overs left and I think SKY should looking for some big hits at this moment. If they can manage to score at least 50 runs in the last four overs, it will be a total to fight against the Aussies. But the pitch behavior seems changed a lot. It won't be an easy game for Australia too. Indian bowlers have to keep pressure on their batting line and another key point is fielding. Did you see how energetic the Aussies were during the fielding? India should do the same if they want to win this game.

When Rohit Sharma started well scoring boundaries at ease, no one would expect that India would struggle in the end but the pitch is really slow and it will be difficult for the Australian batsman to score runs easily. I am expecting them to attack from the start and if India fails to pick wickets from the start then Australia will win another world cup and will be a historic performance.

[Bureau]

This pitch is not at all suitable for batting according to my analysis. The ball is not coming up and now it's is fantastic for spinners. A score of 250 would have been good but looking at the current wicket status, it would not be possible. I was expecting SKY to do what he does the best, whereas he is interested in rotating the strike.

The first 10 overs would be crucial for Indian bowlers. If the trio can get couple of wickets then it would become tough for Australia. The Indian spinners could achieve much more but dew factor would not make it possible. The game is now placed between both teams as of now.

As easily as the Australian bowlers have been able to put pressure on the Indian batsmen, it will be difficult for the Indian bowlers to deal with the ball. But if the Indian batsmen could have given a target of 280 runs, it would have been very difficult for the Australian batsmen. However, in this case, if Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Sami can bowl well in a controlled manner, then India can win even with a small run target.

[FinePoine0]

Currently, India is not performing well in the batting farm. Because they could not stay on the field for long by protecting the wicket. Because basically the batsmen are already out, but I can see the bowling performance of the Australian team is very good due to which 9 wickets fell for the Australian team. India bowled better as Mitchell Starc picked up three wickets with 55 runs in just 10 overs. He was the only good performer for the team and the rest of the bowlers also performed well but could not pick up many wickets. So today, if the Australian team does a good batting performance, there is a chance of winning.

[Compromise me]

Australia Vs India
After losing the toss and batting, India scored 30 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 4.4 overs. If Australia can bowl hard at this point and put India under a lot of pressure and get them out before 300 runs, then Australia will have a lot of chances to win the 2023 World Cup. But I think Australia should have won the toss and batted today. Do you think Australia won the toss and bowled the right decision?

India won the toss and elected to bat first. Indian score is 121 runs with fall of 3 wickets. India is performing very well and Kohli is performing good .He is not out on 42 runs by facing 46 balls. And KL Rahul is also not out on 22 runs in 48 balls . Rohit Sharma made 47 runs in just 31 balls. India have to give a target of 300+ runs to win this match.  Australia have a  capacity to chase 300+ runs . So India have to ball strategically. Mitchell Starc took 1 wicket by giving 33 runs in 5 overs so far.And Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins also took 1 - 1 wicket so far but Glenn Maxwell gave 24 runs in 3 overs and Pat Cummins  gave 14 runs in 5 overs.

Whenever Australia won the toss and decided to bowl I thought Australia might have made the biggest mistake today. But no, I realized shortly after the start of the match that Australia won the toss and took the right decision to bowl. India's performance today has surprised the whole world. Because no one could have imagined India's poor performance. Not only Indian fans but Indian fans all over the world are suffering a lot today they can never accept this game of India. At the moment, India have collected 226 runs for 9 wickets in 47.3 overs. India can never hope to win the title today with so few runs. Today, Australia will make India cry and snatch the World Cup from India for the sixth time.

The innings are coming to an end, just 2 or 3 overs are left, and according to the current situation, India can’t able to give the target of more than 250. Indian team performance was very poor in this inning. This is the worst for India in the whole World Cup. India should play well in this match, and they can’t play.

Muhammad Shami didn’t bat in the whole World Cup because wickets were not falling but in today's match, they can’t control the fall of wickets. Indian team disappointed their crowd with their batting, and this match should be win by India because the PM of India and Shah Rukh Khan also went to watch this match.

[libert19]

although Surya is still on crease but I don't expect much, it appears he'll stay at crease while new batters coming will get India alll-out.

Ok, he gone first and what a disappointment for his fans. If there is no pace in ball, should try to hit somewhere straight, no? Is 360 is necessary? At this point, I felt like even Ashwin would have been a better choice and missed Hardik Pandya, also.

This pitch will favor the bowlers. What Indian batsmen have collected is not less. When Australia starts batting we will know what is the real condition of the pitch condition. Although I feel that Rohit Sharma made a mistake in his batting. After hitting two boundaries in a row, why would he play big short for a third boundary? If he could have played a little longer, maybe 300 runs would not have been difficult for the Indian team. As evening falls, the true face of the pitch is revealed. I think Australia will not bat very well either. At this point I think it's a 50-50 chance. But the final game would have been more exciting. It would have been better if a batting pitch had been decided for the final.

[jasonjm]

Outstanding performance from the Australian team with the bowl and field. Pet Cummins was spot-on with his captaincy. His bowling changes and field placement was phenomenal. After the first power play, the Australian team dominated the remaining 40 overs. Virat and Rahul did show some resistance, but Australian bowling was too good for both of these batters. My biggest disappointment was SKY. He had the ideal stage to showcase his ability, and he failed miserably. 241 run target looks enough on this pitch, but India has to be on their toes in the field to restrict Australia below this total.

Indians and Indian fans may not be able to accept that their team did so badly in the final but why can't the world. Assuming that India has performed well from the beginning till now, not only everyone is supporting India in this World Cup but also supporting different teams from their personal positions. As it is played in Ahmedabad it is natural that there will be more Indian fans so if you say that the entire world cricket lovers cannot accept this game then I think you are wrong. There may be more Indian fans in India but Australia cricket team has enough supporters worldwide and if Australia win today then they will win by playing well and I think everyone will accept that.

India set a low target 240 runs all out in 50 overs in Ahmedabad final of cricket world cup. From india Kl Rahul highest score 67 runs in 107 and Virat kholi batting amazingly scored half century 54 runs in 63 balls. Australia bowling performance is outstanding especially Mitchell Starc who picked 3 important wicktes by giving 55 runs in 10 over and josh Hazlewood also picked 2 important wicktes by giving 60 runs in 10 overs. The captain of Australian team pat Cummins picked 2 wickets and give only 34 runs in 10 over what a bowling performance by team Australia all out india in 240 runs.

[synchronym]

Indian batsmen have been batting with power since the start of 2023 World Cup. But Team India had to face a big stumbling block in the final. Australia's bowlers bowled brilliantly to bowl out a strong team like India for 240 runs. 240 runs will not be too difficult for Australia. Even if India's bowling is very strong then Australia will not have much problem to win this. Indian bowlers should bowl well. If they can take a 2 wickets in the beginning then Australia team will be under some pressure. Finally let's see how well Indian bowlers can bowl. About one and a half lakh cricket fans are sitting in the gallery to watch it.

[Littlemini]

India's batsmen were in great form with the bat throughout the World Cup at home. But Team India had to stumble in the title deciding final. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins' brilliant bowling got Rohit Sharma's team all out in the last ball of the innings. After losing the toss and batting first, India scored 240 runs losing all the wickets in the allotted 50 overs. Lokesh Rahul scored 66 and Virat Kohli scored 54 runs with the bat. Besides, captain Rohit Sharma played an innings of 47 runs off 31 balls. Australia bowled brilliantly today, due to which they restricted India, who are unbeaten in this World Cup, to 240 runs. Australia's target is 241 runs.  Indian great bowlers are Mohammed Shami, Siraj, Bhomra and Jaede if they can bowl well today they will win the world cup.

About one and a half lakh cricket fans are sitting in the gallery to watch it.

Well, I wonder how the Indian team batted, the team that did massive runs and did not lose even a single match can do a small target of 240. This is not a warm-up match but a 2023 final match and I did not expect this from India. I thought that the minimum target that they give to the Australian team would be 295 something because the Indian team in the whole World Cup gives a target of more than 300 and I thought for the final they might reach 380, but I appreciate the bowling of the Australian team that how they bowl and restricted India to the 240 runs. They drop the first wicket on the Indian team on 30 runs which shows how much they are prepared for this final. Now it is the time for Indian bowlers how they can deal with the batsman.

[jasonjm]

After those 3 early wickets, India is back in the game. The partnership between Head and Labuschagne looks threatening; if this partnership continues for another 10 to 15 overs, the game will be over for India. They have to break this partnership to have a chance at the World Cup title. The pitch is also easing up a bit under the light. Dew will play a crucial role after a few overs. India needs to attack with their main bowlers because the game is slowly slipping away from their hands.
