[Saba Sports News] Australia secured their sixth World Cup victory by overcoming an undefeated Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2023 finale. Amidst the Australians’ triumph, a moment with Marcus Stoinis and Adam Zampa became a hot topic on social media.
In a widely shared video, Stoinis and Zampa appear to snub BCCI officials, bypassing handshakes while receiving their medals. This incident has sparked significant online debate, especially among Indian fans criticizing their actions.
The Australian team’s excellent performance was highlighted in the final, clinching another title. Travis Head played a pivotal role in Australia’s victory. The match started with India batting first, facing early setbacks but managing a fighting total of 240, thanks to efforts from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul. Mitchell Starc led Australia’s bowling attack, with notable contributions from Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, and Adam Zampa.
Chasing 241, Australia initially struggled but were steadied by Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne’s outstanding batting. Head’s 137 off 120 balls, complemented by Labuschagne’s 58*, led Australia to a six-wicket win and their sixth World Cup title.
