KL Rahul and Virat Kohli displayed resilient performances, each scoring half-centuries, but the Australian bowlers delivered a precise performance to dismiss India for a subpar total of 240 in the Cricket World Cup final held on Sunday.
Facing the challenge of batting on a sluggish and arid pitch, captain Rohit Sharma initiated a brisk start for India, contributing a 31-ball 47. However, the Australian bowlers fought back, claiming three wickets to restrict the hosts to 81 for 3.
Kohli (54) and Rahul (66) then endeavored to revive the Indian innings, forming a partnership of 67 runs before Pat Cummins dismissed Kohli. Subsequently, India encountered difficulties in finding boundaries. Suryakumar Yadav (18) also struggled to make an impact in the latter part of the innings.
Among the Australian bowlers, Mitchell Starc stood out with figures of 3/55.
