Two Down for Australia

In a nail-biting World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat, Australia finds itself in a challenging position after losing its second wicket in the pursuit of a 241-run target set by India. The tension escalated as Jasprit Bumrah claimed the crucial wicket of Mitchell Marsh, who departed after contributing 15 runs to the Australian total.

The Australian batting display started with aggression, notching up 15 runs in the very first over. However, their early momentum suffered a setback when opener David Warner fell prey to Mohammad Shami in just the second over, caught by the vigilant Virat Kohli.

With Mitchell Marsh’s departure, Australia sent Steve Smith to the crease, hoping for a steadying partnership. At the current juncture, Travis Head is at the crease, holding firm at 9 runs off 14 balls. The team’s score stands at 43/2 after 6.3 overs.

The Indian bowlers are putting up a formidable challenge, striving to defend their total of 240 runs. It’s a crucial juncture in the match, and all eyes are now on Steve Smith and Travis Head as they aim to stabilize the innings and steer Australia towards the World Cup glory.
