Things did not turn out as they they hoped on the final day as Pat Cummins-led Australia put on a magnificent all-round effort to beat them comfortably and win the trophy. After asking the hosts to bat first in Ahmedabad, Pat Cummins led his side from the front with the ball with a wonderful spell of 10-0-34-2, playing a crucial role in his side bundling India for 240. Senior batters Rohit Sharma (47), Virat Kohli (54), and KL Rahul (66) tried hard but could not take their side to a decent first innings total.

"I think we saved our best for the last" - Australia captain Pat Cummins after win vs India in 2023 World Cup Final

At the post-match presentation after the final, Australian skipper Pat Cummins reflected on the memorable win, saying:

"I think we saved our best for the last. Couple of big match players stood up and we're pretty chuffed. We were tossing it up - we were batting first pretty much the whole tournament. Today we thought it was a good night to chase it down and it might get easier. It was a bit slow I thought. It didn't particularly spin probably as much as we thought.

"I thought everyone adjusted well and bowled tight lines. On a slow wicket like that with pretty variable bounce, we thought a couple of catchers on the leg-side...you've got to score runs in ODI cricket so we put a couple of catchers in those positions. The openers took the game on and it worked," Cummins added.
