Australia Claims Sixth Cricket World Cup Crown in Thrilling Final

The 2023 Cricket World Cup, hosted in India, culminated in a dramatic final on November 19th, 2023. Australia emerged victorious, defeating India by 6 wickets and etching their name in history for the sixth time as World Cup champions.

The tournament, which ran from October 5th to November 19th, saw ten national teams battle it out in a round-robin format followed by knockout stages. India, led by the in-form Virat Kohli who was later named player of the tournament, dominated the league stage with an impressive performance.

The knockout stages delivered high-octane matches, with India defeating New Zealand and Australia overcoming South Africa to reach the finals. The much-anticipated final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was a nail-biter. India, after electing to bat first, set a target of 241 runs. The Australian batting line-up chased down the target comfortably, with Travis Head being named player of the match for his crucial knock.
