Who won yesterday’s World Cup match? Ind vs Aus Result
The fifth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 was won by India yesterday who beat Australia by 6 wickets in the afternoon encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Tamil Nadu.
Australia elected to bat first and were all out for 299 after winning the toss. India’s Jasprit Bumrah Drew drew first blood in his first over by dismissing Mitchell Marsh for a duck. In the first innings of the match, the spinners created havoc by scalping 6 Australian wickets and Jadeja took 3 wickets for just 28 runs. Australia lost six wickets to the spinners which is their joint highest total in a World Cup ODI match. They went from 110/2 to 199.
At a critical juncture of the match, with more than 13 overs remaining, the prospects for the team looked bleak. However, their lower-order batsmen showed tremendous resilience, pushing the final total to a commendable 199. Notably, Mitchell Starc contributed with a valuable 28 runs, a total that could yet prove crucial to the outcome of the match.
Let’s not forget to applaud India’s exceptional performances on the field. It all started with Virat Kohli’s sensational catch at slip, setting the tone for the team’s intent and boundless energy on the field. During the course of the match, the Indian fielding pitch reached incredible heights, constantly making life challenging for the Australian batsmen. This outstanding fielding display not only frustrated the Aussies but also created a favorable environment for relentless pressure on the spinners. Siraj, Hardik and Bumrah cleaned up their tails.
In the second innings, adversity struck early as Kishan, Rohit and Iyer all fell for a duck, leaving Australia firmly in control with the scoreboard showing a terrifying 2/3. However, it was that crucial moment that witnessed the emergence of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul as the heroes of the day. Their wealth of experience and unyielding determination enabled them to weather the storm, creating a remarkable 165-run partnership.
Kohli, who was initially lucky when Mitchell Marsh dropped him for 12 off Josh Hazlewood’s delivery, made the most of the lifeline. The duo displayed impeccable synergy throughout their partnership, deftly negotiating the pacers’ early onslaught and defying Glenn Maxwell’s wiles. Their addition of the bat kept the score on the scoreboard and, in the process, both reached their half-centuries, etching their names in the record books with the highest partnership for India against Australia in World Cup history.
