Australia Win WTC 2023, Become First Team to Win Every ICC Tournament With 209-Run Victory over India
A disappointing Day 1 and India could never recover completely, kept chasing Australia throughout the Test match and finally had to admit defeat on the Day 5 of the WTC 2023 Final. Australia lift their first WTC title in their second attempt.
After five days of intense cricket, the final day of the World Test Championship sees an anticlimactic end as India wraps up within the first session and Australia clinch the title with a dominating 209-run victory. Chasing 444 runs in the final innings, India needed 280 runs to win with 7 wickets in hand on the last day. But despite a cautious start, Scott Boland struck early removing Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja and broke the back of the chase. Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon closed the game scalping the remaining wickets.
