Indian Batting

• Skipper Rohit Sharma laid a solid foundation at the beginning by hitting 47 runs off 31 balls, but later, Glenn Maxwell sent him back to the pavilion.
• Virat and KL Rahul made a significant contribution to setting a high score. Virat Kohli scored 54 runs in 63 balls, while KL Rahul played intelligently to score 66 runs in 107 balls.
• Kangaroos restricted India to 240 runs on the scoreboard. It was the lowest score by India in the recent World Cup campaign.

Australian chase

• David Warner and Travis Head initiated Australia’s batting, with Mohammad Shami dismissing David Warner for just 7 runs.
• Two early wickets fell for Australia; Mitchell Marsh contributed 15 runs in 15 balls, and Steve Smith managed 4 runs facing 9 balls.
• Marnus Labuschagne entered the crease and teamed up effectively with Travis Head, persisting until the very end. In the 47th over, Travis Head was caught by Shubman Gill on Mohammed Siraj’s delivery. He scored a peerless 137 runs in 120 balls.
• Australia needed only 2 runs when Maxwell came to bat. Maxwell targeted that goal and brought victory for Australia.

It was a heart-wrenching defeat for the Indian team and the entire nation. According to sources, skipper Rohit Sharma and some of his teammates could not control their emotions and burst into tears in the dressing room.

India has won the World Cup twice. This time, the journey ended without a win.
