India vs Australia Live Score, World Cup Final 2023: Australia were on the money in the field and with the ball and India had to grind their way to 240 all out. Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl first and India\’s Rohit Sharma said that they would have batted first anyway. While Rohit got off to a rocket of a start as usual, Shubman Gill, who had a fantastic record across formats in Ahmedabad, fell early to Mitchell Starc. Virat Kohli came in all guns blazing but Rohit soon fell to Glenn Maxwell thanks to a fantastic catch from Travis Head three runs short of his half century.
Cummins then got the in-form Shreyas Iyer in the next over and KL Rahul and Kohli tried to steady the Indian ship. The boundaries dried up almost entirely after the 10th over and Kohli fell on 54 off 63. Rahul then tried to hold the innings together but India were dealt another blow when Ravindra Jadeja, promoted ahead of Suryakumar Yadav, fell in the 36th over. Rahul ground out a half-century while SKY gave him company in what was the last stand of recognised batters for India. That ended with Rahul falling on 66 off 107 to Starc. Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav then hacked together 14 runs for the last wicket and India were all out for 240 in 50 overs.
India have started their defence well though. Mohammed Shami took the other new ball instead of Mohammed Siraj and he struck with the second ball of his first over, sending back David Warner. Jasprit Bumrah then got the wicket of Mitchell Marsh. While both bowlers have been expensive, they sent back two of Australia\’s most dangerous top-order batters.
An entire nation holds its collective breath together as the invincible force India meets the immovable object Australia. The prize on the line is a World Cup trophy. The two teams that did battle 20 years ago in the summit clash at Johannesburg, and incidentally, the two semi-finalists who lost at the 2019 World Cup. When former India coach Ravi Shastri mentioned ahead of India\’s World Cup 2023 opener against Australia – \’there\’s a long way to go but these two could be the potential finalists\’, his prediction couldn\’t seem any farther from the truth. Australia had lost two on the bounce, looked short of answers and all over the place. But when it\’s the five-time champions you\’re talking about, rule them out at your own peril. Eight consecutive wins followed and here we are – the grand-finale of a Cricket World Cup, and truth be told, you can’t think of two more deserving teams than India and Australia to fight for the biggest honour in cricket.
For a country where rugby is the No. 1 sport by quite some distance, the pressure surrounding Australia is nowhere close to the one that the Indian fans are currently facing. You could cut the tension with a knife. People are more nervous than they are the night before a University exam. And who can blame them? It\’s been a 10-year-long wait for an ICC silverware, 12 for a World Cup. From 2011, only two players remain in the India squad – Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin. Add to that the emotions surrounding cricket fans in their mid-30s, who were in their teenage years and cried themselves to sleep the night of March 23, 2003.
Here are a few pointers surrounding the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final:
– Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first
– Rohit got off to a quick start as usual but Shubman Gill fell early
– Virat Kohli then came out all guns blazing but Australia struck back again with the wickets of Rohit and the in-form Shreyas Iyer.
– Kohli and KL Rahul then struggled to get away and while the former scored another 50, he eventually fell to Pat Cummins.
– Rahul ground out a half-century but then saw Ravindra Jadeja fall at the other end.
– Suryakumar Yadav was also unable to provide a big finish.
– Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav dragged India to a score of 240.
– Bumrah conceded 15 runs in the first over but Shami got the wicket of David Warner off just his second ball of the match.
– Bumrah took two more, sending back Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith in the first 10 overs.
– Staging a comeback, Travis Head scored century off 95 balls to help Australia reach 185/3 in 33.5 overs.
India XI: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
Australia XI: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis(w), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins(c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

There were five wides off the fourth ball and then a four by Marsh. It meant that while there was a wicket, Australia also took 13 runs in it. The noise right now in this stadium is not something you hear, it is something that you feel with every inch of your skin.

Then India go into a brief huddle before proceeding to their fielding positions. They look a relaxed bunch. David Warner and Travis Head are out there for Australia. Jasprit Bumrah with the new ball in his hands. Right, no matter which way this goes, it\’s going to be high octane action in these first 10 overs. India need early wickets, Australia want to throw the gauntlet early as usual.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: Those little innocent droplets that have such a wonderful aesthetic look in the mornings when they settle on leaves of plants and trees, well, that could be a huge factor in deciding which way this World Cup goes. There is no doubt that Australia will be made to sweat if dew is not a big factor for the rest of this evening. We hear from the commentary that Ian Bishop said that it was very dry at the moment.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: Mitchell Starc talks
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: 3/55 in 10 overs and two of those wickets were of Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. Starc, just like the rest of the Australian bowlers, was exceptional today. He says that India were excellent with the ball and now need to do the same with bat early on. “There is not a whole heap of help for the seam bowlers and swing bowlers, was trying to do a few different things, vary the pace a little bit. Patty (Cummins) and Josh (Hazlewood) were outstanding and obviously a little bit of reverse at the back end. Hopefully we restricted them to enough (runs),” he says. Starc says that they had bowled second against England here and it had got “a little dewy”. Today the wicket is a little dry and “hopefully the dew comes in and we don\’t see any reverse in the second innings”.
\”It is not an easy wicket to bat on, the easiest time to bat perhaps is against the hard new ball and there are runs to be scored and it is not going to be easy, but it is what you ask for, it is a world cup final. What more can you ask for!\” he says

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: India have done this before
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: Well it is innacurate say that the Indian batters have not been challenged in this way before in this tournament. They were restricted to 229/9 but then dismissed England for just 129 runs. But that was a beleaguered England batting lineup, this is an Australian lineup that has found its mojo in so many ways in the last eight matches.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: India 240 all out in 50 overs
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: 14 runs off 15 balls between Siraj and Kuldeep for the last wicket, every run in that stand worth its weight in gold for India. Kuldeep was run out as the pair went for a rather impossible second run but they had no other choice really and so India are 240 all out. Pat Cummins had thrown the gauntlet yesterday, saying there is nothing more pleasing in sport than silencing a big crowd. Well, that is what his side did with aplomb for much of this Indian innings. But the pitch looks like a tough one to bat on and if there is no dew, this will be a tough total to chase against this extremely efficient Indian bowling lineup. For now though, the lakhs in the stadium and the millions watching on screens of different sizes around the world were probably given an idea of what it was like to face the world-beating Aussies of the late 90s and early 2000s. They were almost entirely flawless with the ball and in the field today, not giving anything away to the Indians after the first 10 overs. As an Indian fan, you would be disappointed but put on the hat of being a fan of the sport and you would see that this was 50 overs of truly high quality cricket. Australia turning on the pressure in every corner of the field, the Indians still grinding out close to 250.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: SKY just can\’t get away!
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: Australia have done their home work. Suryakumar tends to score a majority of his runs behind the wicket and so the bowlers have hardly given him any width. Third ball of the 47th from Cummins, he sends it short pace off but into SKY\’s face. It goes over the keeper and races away to the boundary straight behind him and the batter but deep third is brilliantly placed very fine. He sweeps it up and just one run comes off it. Australia have been just excellent today. Three rather disastrous dot balls after that and SKY is on 16 off 25, Kuldeep on six off 11.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS World Cup Final 2023: Big shout for LBW fifth ball of Zampa\’s last over. Umpire raises his finger and Bumrah walks off without a second glance. That is as plumb as they come. SKY has been quietly rotating strike thus far but now, he probably will have to swing for the rafters.
