7 times Australia defeated India in a marquee event since 2015
2023 World Test Championship Final

India’s 2023 WTC Final dream at the Oval ended in heartbreak, falling 209 runs short against Australia. In the first innings, the Aussies posted a total of 269 which gave them an early advantage. India conceded a massive lead as they were bowled out for just 296. In their second innings, the Aussies piled up a total of 270 before declaring. It was always going to be difficult to chase down a total of 443 and a miracle did not happen as the Aussies won the game rather easily. India’s bowling lacked penetration, failing to match Australia’s disciplined display and the batting was disappointing, to say the least. Questions arose about team selection and fatigue from the IPL, but ultimately, Australia were the more clinical team, deserving champions on English soil. Though a bitter pill to swallow, India’s journey to the final showcased their Test prowess, leaving fans hopeful for future glory.
