Head goes for a pull and picks out Shubman Gill in the deep as his exceptional inning comes to an end. Travis Head played a magnificent inning of 137 runs in just 120 deliveries to ensure Australia's 6th World Cup title.
Nov 19, 2023, 3:55 PM
A brilliant chase from the Aussies as they chased down 241 runs under 43 overs. India did get three early wickets but Travis Head's 137-run knock ensured Australia's victory over India.
Nov 19, 2023, 3:40 PM
Labuschagne completes his half-century with a boundary. A brilliant anchor role from him as Australia are comfortably cruising toward victory.
Nov 19, 2023, 3:13 PM
Head gets to his 100 with a single to the covers and with this inning he has now ensured Australia's victory. He reaches the mark in 95 deliveries. An exceptional inning from the Australian opener.
Nov 19, 2023, 3:01 PM
Travis Head and Labuschagne leading the run chase as Australia are cruising toward their 6th World Cup title.
Nov 19, 2023, 2:26 PM
Back-to-back half-centuries for Head. A brilliant inning under pressure from the left-handed Travis Head. He brings Australia back into the game.
Nov 19, 2023, 2:07 PM
Head and Labuschagne have added 46 runs for the fourth wicket. Head is batting on 40 after facing 47 deliveries while Labuschagne is batting on 10 runs after facing 29 deliveries.
Nov 19, 2023, 1:47 PM
Head survives an appeal on the final delivery of the over. A long discussion for a leg before but Rohit decided to not take a review. And the replays confirmed it.
Nov 19, 2023, 1:35 PM
A huge LBW appeal as the ball hit the pads of Travis Head but good call by Rahul to deny Rohit taking the review as the ball was going down the leg and would have missed the line.
Nov 19, 2023, 1:35 PM
Bumrah hits Smith on the back pad and its a clear lbw. Smith is walking back. A huge wicket for India and the fans go wild at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Nov 19, 2023, 1:22 PM
Back-of-length delivery from Bumrah and Marsh edged it to keeper Kl Rahul as India gets its second wicket. Fans go crazy at Ahmedabad as India are back into the game. Marsh departs for 15 as Bumrah gets his first wicket.
Nov 19, 2023, 1:02 PM
Warner shuffled across and tried to cut a off-cutter but edged straight to Virat Kohli at slips. The fans go crazy as India gets their first wicket. David Warner departs for 7, maybe for the last time in International Cricket.
Nov 19, 2023, 12:34 PM
Kuldeep got run out in the last delivery as India piled up a total of 240 runs. Australia bowled brilliantly and the pitch helped them a lot too. Kl Rahul is the top scorer with 66 runs while Virat scored 54 runs. Earlier, Rohit Sharma gave a fiery start to India, scoring 47 runs.
Amazing bowling performance by the Australians, led by Pat Cummins 2/34. India started well scoring 80 in the powerplay. But slow and low pitch made sure batters found difficulty in scoring boundaries. Virat Kohli (54) and KL Rahul (67) kept the scoreboard ticking. But once those two got out, it was only Australia. India can defend 240 runs as this is a decent total in this pitch but it will be tough.
Nov 19, 2023, 12:13 PM
Surya tries to go for a big hit, but gets a top edge and is caught by the keeper. India are Nine down. SKY walks off the pitch, scoring 18 off 28 balls.
Nov 19, 2023, 11:58 AM
Bumrah tries to defend but gets hit on the pads. A huge appeal and the umpire raises the finger. India are eight down now. Zampa gets his first wicket.
Nov 19, 2023, 11:53 AM
Shami attempts a slog off a length ball, gets an edge, and is caught behind. India is seven down now as Shami departs, scoring 6 runs. Bumrah is the new batsman.
Nov 19, 2023, 11:41 AM
Rahul is out. Length ball and Rahul edged it straight to the keeper. He's gone for 66 off 107 balls. India is six down down and Shami is the new batsman.
Nov 19, 2023, 11:13 AM
Earlier in the 4th delivery of Hazlewood's over, Jadeja was beaten and Australians were interested in reviewing the decision. Cummins reviews but the review was wasted due to flat lines.
In the next delivery, Hazlewood gets the wicket of Jadeja. He is caught behind and goes for 9 off 22 balls. Same delivery but different outcome this time.
Nov 19, 2023, 11:08 AM
A quick single and Rahul gets to his fifty in 86 balls. Only 1 boundary in his inning until now and it was indeed a slow inning but an important one for India.
Nov 19, 2023, 10:44 AM
An appeal by keeper for stumping Jadeja. Aussie players aren't that interested but still the umpires have gone for the review. Nothing to worry as Jadeja is completely safe.
Nov 19, 2023, 10:37 AM
Pat Cummins did silent the whole stadium. Virat Kohli chops on. He's in disbelief as is the whole stadium. He departs for 54 off 63 balls. A huge huge wicket for Australia and this is surely an unlucky way to get out.
Ravindra Jadeja is at the crease now.
Nov 19, 2023, 10:23 AM
Another half-century for King Kohli. What a tournament he is having! He continues his rich vein of form and scores another half-century under pressure. Kohli pushes the ball towards long on to get the fifty, his ninth in this World Cup.
Rahul gets India's first boundary after 97 balls.
Nov 19, 2023, 10:22 AM
An important partnership between Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul. They took 88 deliveries to construct that partnership. Virat moves to 49 after facing 55 deliveries.
Nov 19, 2023, 10:14 AM
Starc bowled the 23rd over and gave only 4 runs. India haven't scored a boundary for a long time now but Virat and Rahul are constructing a partnership, a calculated partnership that is important for the Men in Blues at this moment.
Nov 19, 2023, 9:44 AM
Virat is set and batting on 34 in 33 deliveries. On the other side, Kl Rahul is taking time but things are stable now, especially after losing two early wickets.
Nov 19, 2023, 9:23 AM
One brings two! Outside edge of Iyer's bat and an easy catch for Inglis. India are in huge trouble. They lost another wicket after starting off brilliantly.
Kl Rahul is the new batsman.
Nov 19, 2023, 9:19 AM
Rohit Sharma went down the track but it edged and the ball went high in the air. Travis Head ran back from the covers to make a brilliant catch. The skipper once again walks off the pitch, scoring 47 runs.
Shreyas Iyer is the new batsman.
Nov 19, 2023, 9:04 AM
Virat Kohli is off to a brilliant start after Gill departed early. Rohit Sharma on the other side is going with the same approach and The Men in Blues should be happy with the fiery start.
Nov 19, 2023, 8:51 AM
Gill attempts his trademark short-arm jab but all he can do is hit it straight to Zampa at mid-on. The first wicket down. Gill departs for 4 as Starc gets the first wicket. IND 30/1
Virat Kohli is the new batsman.
Nov 19, 2023, 8:43 AM
Nov 19, 2023, 8:35 AM
Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are out in the middle. Starc with the first over.
After playing the first over calmly, Rohit targets Hazlewood in the second over. The Hitman hits two back-to-back boundaries in the second over.
Nov 19, 2023, 8:23 AM
Both sides have lined up for the national anthems.
Nov 19, 2023, 8:18 AM
No Indian captain has lost the World Cup final after losing the toss.

"I would have batted first. Looks a good pitch, big game, put runs on the board. It's going to be amazing, every time we play here, the crowd comes out in large numbers. The biggest occasion in the cricketing event. We have to stay nice and calm. It's a dream come true to be captaining the team in the final. I know what lies in front of us. We need to play well and get the result."
Nov 19, 2023, 8:14 AM
"We are gonna have a bowl first. Looks like a dry wicket. Dew is a factor. It gets better to bat on. Tough start to the tournament, haven't really put a foot wrong ever since. It's all set up perfectly. We've played these guys a lot. Same team as the semi-final."

Ravi Shastri: "Same wicket that was used for India vs Pakistan. It's looking different because it has been left open for quite a long time. It looks dry. Looks patchy, especially in the areas where spinners will land the ball. I expect it to turn. Batting first, getting runs on the board is premium."
Nov 19, 2023, 7:48 AM
R Ashwin has just emerged from the dressing-room, received a pat on the back from Rahul Dravid, nodded at this coach & walked straight down to the pitch twirling his fingers a couple of times & is currently checking out the pitch. A sign of him playing perhaps? #CWC23 #IndvAus

India have performed better than Australia and are the favourites to lift the coveted trophy at home after 12 long years. On the other hand, Australia are not used to finishing as runner-up when an ICC trophy is at stake and five titles in seven final appearances are proof to their envious record.

Mitchell Starc surpassed Mohammed Shami to became the leading wicket taker in ICC finals. So, let's take a look at the bowlers with most wickets in ICC tournament finals.
Australia's star fast bowler Mitchell Starc added a big achievement to his name on Wednesday by becoming the bowler to take the most wickets in ICC tournament finals. Starc achieved this feat by taking two wickets on the first day of the World Test Championship 2025 final against South Africa at Lord's. Starc, playing his fifth ICC final, has taken 11 wickets so far and is expected to increase it.

With this, Starc also broke the record of Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami as soon as he took the second wicket. This record was earlier in the name of Shami, who had taken 10 wickets in four ICC finals.
So, let's take a look at the bowlers with most wickets in ICC tournament finals.
The former legendary Australia pacer Glenn McGrath featured in a total of 5 ICC finals for the Baggy Greens and took 8 Wickets for his team. McGrath was one of Australia’s most important players for several years and he always stepped-up big time in finals of major tournaments.
McGrath was the second-highest wicket-taker in the 2002 edition of the ICC tournament with 8 wickets in 3 matches after Muttaih Muralidharan who has claimed 10 wickets in as many games.
New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson also took 8 Wickets in the ICC tournament finals after appearing in 3 innings. In the 2019–2021 World Test Championship Final, Jamieson was named as the man of the match, after taking seven wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings.
Ravindra Jadeja comes fourth on this list. Jadeja’s evolution from a utility player to a match-winner is reflected in his 8 ICC final appearances. In his 8 finals, Jadeja dismissed 8 players in ICC tournament finals.
His all-round prowess was key to India’s Champions Trophy triumph in 2013, where he was the leading wicket-taker. He has since played vital roles in T20 World Cup finals and two successive WTC finals (2021, 2023), as well as the 2025 Champions Trophy.
New Zealand's veteran pacer Trent Boult is true to the 'big-match player' tag with 8 wickets in his 4 ICC Finals. Boult played a massive role in the Kiwis' success in ICC tournaments and gave brilliant bowling performances in the finals as well.
Boult was also the joint leading wicket taker at the 2015 Cricket World Cup. In 2018, he became the third bowler for New Zealand to take a hat-trick in ODIs.
India's star bowler Mohammed Shami now comes second in this list. In four ICC finals, Shami has taken 10 wickets at an average of 38.90, an economy rate of 3.95 and best bowling figures of 4/76 in the WTC final 2021 against New Zealand.
Shami is also the leading wicket-taker among Indian bowlers in ODI World Cups and also led all bowlers in the 2023 edition with 24 wickets in seven outings. He continued his magical run in ICC events with a five-wicket haul in his maiden Champions Trophy game (ongoing contest against Bangladesh).

Australia's pace ace Mitchell Starc has became the highest wicket-taker in ICC tournament finals. The left-arm quick achieved the milestone during the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa at Lord's. Starc, playing in his fifth ICC final, has now taken 11 wickets across tournament deciders.
The milestone came in style as Starc struck early in South Africa's second innings, cleaning up Aiden Markram for a duck. He followed it up with the dismissal of Ryan Rickelton for 16, ending Day 1 with figures of 2/10 in a fiery spell.
He also became the joint second-highest wicket taker in ICC knockout games. He is sharing the spot with former Aussie legend Glenn McGrath and Mohammed Shami, who each have taken 22 wickets. The top spot is with former Sri Lankan great Muttiah Muralitharan, who has 23 wickets.
The cricket world bid farewell to six prominent players as they drew curtains on stellar international careers in just one month. From unparalleled Kohli to power-hitter Maxwell, here are 6 crickters who announced their retirements since last month.
The cricket world, known for its constant evolution, has seen a drastic shift in a month. Over the past month, six notable players have chosen to conclude their careers on the global stage.
From legendary batsmen to powerful all-rounders, these departures mark a significant moment in the history of cricket. These aren't just names; they are players who have shaped matches and won the hearts of millions.
Explore the list of 6 cricketers who announced their retirements since last month.
On May 7, 2025, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of his remarkable journey as a batsman, as well as India's captain in tests. His test career lasted for 12 years since his debut in 2013.
Sharma transformed himself into a brilliant test opener in the latter half of his career. One of his defining moments in Test cricket arrived in 2019 against South Africa, where he hammered a majestic 212 runs as an opener, showcasing his ability to wear down opposition attacks.
He is the fifth-most successful Test captain for India, leading to 12 Test victories.

2013-2024 | 116 | 4302 | 40.6 | 57.1 | 212 | 18 | 12 |
Following Rohit's retirement, India lost the era's most dominant force in test cricket. The announcement of Virat Kohli's test retirement on May 12, 2025, resonated globally, leaving everyone shocked and upset.
Kohli approached the test format with a fierce competitive spirit and hunger for runs. His dedication and skill set in this format saw him notch 7 double centuries in his test career. He also became the most successful test captain of India during the 8 years (Dec 2014-Jan 2022) of his captaincy tenure, leading to 40 wins.
This decision of Kohli to step away from tests also brought the interests of Indian fans in tests in question. This retirement indeed marked the end of an era.

2011-2025 | 210 | 9230 | 46.85 | 55.57 | 254* | 3 | 30 |
Sri Lanka's enduring test pillar, Angelo Mathews, concluded his test career on May 23, 2025. He left behind a legacy of resilience and crucial performances as an all-rounder.
Mathews possessed the ability to adapt his game and accelerate when required. His unbeaten 200 runs against Zimbabwe in 2020 stand out as one of his vital contributions. He also took a total of 33 wickets in tests.
He led Sri Lanka in 34 matches as a captain and won 13 among them.

2009-2025 | 210 | 8167 | 44.62 | 48.45 | 200* | 45 | 16 |
Australia's one of the most captivating hitters and match-winners, Glenn Maxwell, announced retirement from ODIs on June 2, 2025. Known for his explosive strokeplay and ability to turn the game around, he had an amazing ODI career.
Maxwell's career has many moments to highlight, but nothing can match his astonishing 201* runs against Afghanistan in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Coming back with a back injury, this innings was a masterclass in aggressive and controlled batting.
He snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, which goes down in the history of ODI cricket.

On June 2, 2025, Heinrich Klaasen announced his international retirement, which marked the end of a relatively short yet impactful career as a destructive batsman in white-ball cricket.
Since his international debut for South Africa in 2018, he has been a hard-hitter of the ball and has become one of the most feared finishers in limited-overs formats. His phenomenal 174 runs off just 83 balls against Australia in an ODI in 2023 stands as a testament to his raw hitting power and ability.
Format | Innings | Runs | Avg | SR | HS | 50 | 100 |
T20Is | 53 | 1000 | 23.25 | 141.84 | 81 | 5 | 0 |

Tests | 8 | 104 | 13.00 | 45.21 | 35 | 0 | 0 |
The West Indies batter, Nicholas Pooran, announced his international retirement on June 10, 2025, at the age of just 29. This marked one of the earliest retirements for a high-profile West Indies player.
As a left-hander wicket-keeper batsman, Pooran quickly established himself as an electrifying hitter in white-ball cricket. He brought an aggressive approach to the crease, with the potential to turn the game in his favour.
He has done exceptionally well in his short-lived international career. His 98 runs off 53 balls against Afghanistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup perfectly tell the story of his talent.
Format | Innings | Runs | Avg | SR | HS | 50 | 100 |
T20Is | 97 | 2275 | 26.14 | 136.39 | 98 | 13 | 0 |
ODIs | 58 | 1983 | 39.66 | 99.15 | 118 | 11 | 3 |
