Australia won WTC Final 2023
As Australia claimed their first World Test Championship championship with a crushing 209-run victory on the fifth day of the summit match at the Oval on Sunday, India’s dismal performance in ICC competitions continued. After losing to New Zealand in the first WTC finals in 2021, this was India’s second defeat in as many championships. India began the day at 164 for 3 while attempting to chase down the implausible mark of 444, but quickly lost batting stalwart Virat Kohli (49), followed by Ravindra Jadeja (0) and Ajinkya Rahane (43) to be dismissed for 234 in 63.3 overs.
