India Eye Wickets, Australia Off To Great Start In Chase

If India are to win the Cricket World Cup, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and other bowlers will have to step up.

Asutralia have made a brilliant start India have been bowled out for 240 in 50 overs by Australia in the final of the Cricket World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad on Sunday (November 19).

For India, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul scored half-centuries while Rohit Sharma slammed 47 off 31 balls. However, Australian bowlers came out in full force and never let India off the hooks.

Mitchell Starc took three wickets while Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood scalped two each as India were restricted below 250.

Ahead of the match, former Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri said that the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium may be on the slower side. So, a low total may also be enough for India.
