In the three knockouts of the ICC Cricket World Cup, only the India vs New Zealand pitch got a 'good' rating.

Cricket World Cup Final pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium receives 'average' rating from ICC

The ICC has given an 'average' rating to the Ahmedabad pitch that hosted the Cricket World Cup final.

<h2>In the three knockouts of the ICC Cricket World Cup, only the India vs New Zealand pitch got a 'good' rating.</h2>

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which hosted the ODI World Cup final on November 19 between India and Australia, received an "average" rating for its pitch from the International Cricket Council (ICC). While the pitch was deemed average, the outfield earned a "very good" rating from ICC match referee and former Zimbabwean cricketer Andy Pycroft.
In the final, Australia triumphed over India by six wickets on a slow and sluggish pitch. India, opting to bat first, set a target of 240 runs in 50 overs, which Australia comfortably chased down in 43 overs, thanks to Travis Head's impressive 137 off 120 balls. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/7-players-who-can-fetch-big-money-during-wpl-auction-1702029916953">7 players who can fetch big money during WPL auction</a>
The ICC has consistently rated pitches used in India's league matches in Kolkata, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Chennai as 'average.' In contrast, the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium for the semifinal match between India and New Zealand was rated 'good.' This rating came amidst reports of India using a previously played-on surface for the semifinal.
The Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata, the venue for the second semifinal between Australia and South Africa, also received an "average" rating from the ICC. This low-scoring match saw Australia chasing down South Africa's total of 212 with seven wickets lost in 47.2 overs. Javagal Srinath, former Indian pacer and ICC match referee, however, rated Eden Gardens' outfield as "very good."
The ICC defines an "average" pitch as one lacking in carry, bounce, or occasional seam movement, but maintaining consistency in carry and bounce. It may offer a degree of turn for spinners but falls short of the "very good" category in terms of carry, bounce, and turn.

<h2>Australian captain Pat Cummins said they are still buzzing on their arrival Down Under after winning the Cricket World Cup.</h2>

Australia's cricket captain, Pat Cummins, along with pace bowler Josh Hazlewood, landed in Sydney early Wednesday, greeted by celebrations after securing Australia's sixth ICC Cricket World Cup title.
Cummins' strategic brilliance was on full display during the World Cup, marked by his bold decision to win the toss and opt for India to bat first, a move that proved to be a masterstroke on the challenging pitch in Ahmedabad. The Australian team's exceptional performance left the nearly hundred thousand-strong crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in stunned silence for significant portions of the game.
The six-wicket victory over India not only sealed Australia's triumph in the tournament but also marked their sixth ICC World Cup title overall. This victory holds special significance as it is the second time Australia has clinched the coveted trophy on Indian soil.

<h2>The total spectator count for the tournament surpassed the one million mark even before the conclusion of the last six matches, beating the previous World Cup record.</h2>

The recently concluded Cricket World Cup has set a new tournament record, drawing an impressive 1.25 million spectators throughout the six-and-a-half-week event. The final showdown, where Australia clinched its sixth title by defeating India by six wickets, marked the culmination of a thrilling tournament that captured the attention of cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) revealed on Tuesday that the total spectator count for the tournament surpassed the one million mark even before the conclusion of the last six matches. This remarkable turnout exceeded previous records set during the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which attracted 1,016,420 spectators, as well as the 2019 edition in England and Wales, boasting 752,000 fans in attendance.
The 10-team tournament held in India featured a round-robin format where each team played against the others to secure a spot in the semi-finals. With 48 matches in total, the average attendance per match was approximately 26,000. The success of the event not only showcased the enduring appeal of the Cricket World Cup but also solidified its status as a premier sporting spectacle.
The 13th edition of the World Cup, which originated in 1975, has once again proven its ability to captivate audiences globally, with record-breaking attendance figures highlighting the enduring popularity and significance of the tournament in the cricketing world.

<h2>The official turnout for the 2023 World Cup final was lower than the attendance during the 2015 World Cup final at the MCG</h2>

Anticipation was high for a full house at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the India vs Australia Cricket World Cup final but as it turned out, the numbers were nowhere close to the capacity crowd that was expected for the marquee clash.
A crowd of around 1,30,000 was expected but the official attendance figures revealed a notable shortfall, with only 92,543 spectators present, nearly 40 thousand less than projected.

Contrary to expectations of setting new attendance records in cricket history, the official turnout was even lower than Australia's 2015 World Cup final against New Zealand at the MCG. During that match, where Australia emerged victorious, a total of 93,013 spectators witnessed the live action at the iconic stadium.
The gap between the anticipated and actual attendance has become a talking point, raising questions about the factors contributing to the variance in expected and recorded numbers at one of the most significant cricket events.

Rohit Sharma's men came very close to ending the ICC title drought but faltered on the final hurdle.
Let's take a look at how Team India fared in all 9 ICC events gone by in the last 10 years.
India lost the T20 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka in 2014
The Men in Blue then faltered in the ODI World Cup semifinals in 2015 and went down to hosts Australia.
A defeat against the West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2016 semifinals followed next.
India was the favourite to win the Champions Trophy in 2017 but lost the final against Pakistan.
The 2019 ODI World Cup campaign was the next tournament where Team India failed to break the jinx. A Virat Kohli-led side lost the Semifinal against New Zealand.
India then failed to win the inaugural World Test Championship and lost to New Zealand in the Final in 2021.
Rohit Sharma's men were then decimated by England in the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal.
Team India made it to the WTC final once again in 2023 but couldn't win it on the second attempt either.&nbsp;
And now, the subcontinental giants failed to clinch the 2023 ODI World Cup title in their own backyard and went down to Australia in the final.

There was hope when India reduced the Aussies to 47/3 but Travis Head's incredible hundred powered the Aussies to their 6th World Cup title.

<h2>There was hope when India reduced the Aussies to 47/3 but Travis Head's incredible hundred powered the Aussies to their 6th World Cup title.</h2>

Heartbreak for Team India! Travis Head was the star of the show for Australia as the serial winners lifted their 6th World Cup title. The hosts were completely outplayed by the Australians in the World Cup final in Ahmedabad. Only when Rohit Sharma was batting, India looked in control. But the captain's downfall in the first innings for 47 saw India succumb to pressure on a slow track at the Narendra Modi Stadium. While Virat Kohli made 54 and KL Rahul top-scored with 66, India could only garner 240 runs, a score that simply wasn't enough. There was hope when India reduced the Aussies to 47/3 but Travis Head rose to the occasion and how! With dew to aid the batting, the southpaw smashed a sensational hundred to take the game away from India in a jiffy. Combined with Labuschagne, the duo put together a 192-run&nbsp;partnership to sink the Men in Blue and give Australia a record-extending 6th title. (Video Highlights to follow soon)

On a difficult pitch, where run-scoring seemed pretty hard, India managed 240 against Australia in the Cricket World Cup final. After the Aussies surprisingly put India in to bat, captain Rohit Sharma started in his usual fashion, taking the attack to the bowlers.
Even as Shubman Gill fell cheaply, Rohit's 31-ball 47 got India off to a flier. However, his wicket changed the game, with Shreyas Iyer also departing in quick succession. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/captain-rohit-sharma-breaks-world-record-in-india-vs-australia-cricket-world-cup-final-surpasses-kane-williamson-1700385240940">Rohit Sharma breaks world record in World Cup final against Australia</a>
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul then stabilised the innings with a 67-run partnership, Kohli's departure for 54 provided the Aussies with an opening.
While Rahul did manage to top-score for India with 66, India couldn't find the flourish in the death overs, losing wickets at regular intervals to settle for 240 in Ahmedabad.

Amidst the electric atmosphere of the world's largest cricket stadium, the Surya Kiran Acrobatic Team of the Indian Air Force showcased a breathtaking aerial display before the much-anticipated World Cup final between India and Australia on Sunday.
Creating history, the nine Hawk Mk-132 SKAT aircraft of the Indian Air Force presented a mesmerizing 10-minute show, marking the first-ever aerial performance preceding a cricket match in India. The grandeur of their maiden display was fittingly staged before the World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, boasting a capacity of over 1,30,000 enthusiastic fans. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/icc-world-cup/cricket-world-cup-final-sachin-tendulkar-gifts-virat-kohli-his-signed-team-india-jersey-ind-vs-aus-1700383921855">Sachin Tendulkar gifts Virat Kohli his signed Team India jersey before World Cup final</a>

Have got six or seven guys that won Cricket World Cup in 2015: Pat Cummins ahead of IND vs AUS final

Here's what Australian captain Pat Cummins said ahead of their much anticipated finale against India at the World Cup

The Australian skipper believes that a tournament that's held only once in four years is certainly going to be a career highlight for him.

From his boyhood to early teens, Pat Cummins saw Australia complete a hat-trick of World Cup wins and in his early youth got that taste of what it means to be a World Champion while being part of the class of 2015.
Now at 30, Cummins wants to experience that awesome feeling of leading a great bunch of blokes to an unprecedented sixth World Cup title beating a formidable Indian team.
"It would be huge. We were all kids not too long ago, watching some of those great teams win the 99, 2003, 2007 World Cups. That's the opportunity ahead of us tomorrow, which is really exciting. To be captain would be an absolute privilege to lift the trophy with these great bunch of blokes," Cummins said on the eve of the mega-final.
The Australian skipper believes that a tournament that's held only once in four years is certainly going to be a career highlight for him.
"It would be awesome and in terms of the pinnacle, I think it is right up there. It's got the longest history of a world event where all the teams compete. You only get a shot at it every four years.
"So even if you have a long career, you might only play in two of these events. 2015 is still a career highlight for me, so I think tomorrow if we win, we might pip it." Having won the World Test Championship followed by the Ashes, it has been an awesome year for Australian cricket and the 50-over World Cup will be the icing on the cake.
"I mean, it's been a huge year. There are four marquee events. If you have one of those in an off-season, it's a big off-season. We've got four of them. For some of the guys, probably spent less than a couple of weeks in their own bed since the end of the Aussie summer.
"One thing that's stayed consistent has been the morale in the group. The guys have been awesome. They're so up for every game they play. And to put ourselves in a position of this, it would just top off an incredible year and probably a career-defining year that a lot of us will look back on in years to come and be pretty proud of," the skipper looked content with his team's form.
For Cummins, having at least 12 players, who have either won a 50-over or a T20 World Cup, holds the team in good stead as they know how to deal with pressures of a big occasion.
"I think it's going to be an even match. The good thing is we have got six or seven guys that won it in 2015 so we know that feeling. Even more of the guys that were there in the T20 World Cup, different format, but pretty much everyone.
"Well at least a dozen of the 15, have won a World Cup and know what it takes and know that feeling and won't be afraid to go out there and be brave and take the game on." As far as the pressure of playing in-front of 132,000 spectators is concerned, Cummins wants his men to embrace the occasion, just like David Warner doing Allu Arjun's 'Srivalli hook step' from blockbuster Telugu film 'Pushpa' "We play over here in India a lot so the noise is not something new - yeah, I think on this scale it's probably bigger than we would have experienced before but it's not something totally foreign to what we've had before.
"Everyone deals with it slightly differently. You see Davey [Warner] probably dancing and winning the crowd over other guys just staying in their own bubble &ndash; yeah it should be good." Having beaten India in an ODI series in March, Cummins is confident of his team's chances in the final but did term Mohammed Shami as India's stand-out performer.
"I mean they're all pretty well-rounded in all departments. You know the one guy that didn't play at the start of the tournament, who's done really well is obviously Mohammed Shami. He is a class bowler to right and left-armer, so yeah, he's going to be a big one." Even Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja are going to be pretty tough to face in middle-overs.
"They've got five guys who bowl 10 overs pretty much every match. I think their spinners have done well through the middle overs, Kuldeep and Jadeja, so they're going to be a tough proposition like they always are. But you know, they've won every game, so they've been very impressive."

The distinguished group of captains, including MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev will be honoured and presented with special blazers in a ceremony on the day of the final.

Illingworth and Kettleborough were both promoted to the ICC International List on the same day in November 2009. Both acted as on-field umpires during this week's semi-finals.
Illingworth was in charge of India's victory over New Zealand in Mumbai, while Kettleborough oversaw Australia's thrilling win against South Africa in Kolkata.
Both umpires have had highly illustrious careers. They've both won the David Shepherd Trophy, awarded to ICC's Umpire of the Year. Kettleborough won it three times in a row, between 2013-15, and Illingworth did the same in 2019 and 2022.&nbsp;

<h2>5-time Champions Australia qualified for a record-extending 8th Cricket World Cup final, where they will face hosts India on Sunday.</h2>

Australia reached their record-extending 8th World Cup final after clinching a thrilling 3-wicket win over South Africa in the second semifinal. The 5-time Champions will now face hosts India for the coveted trophy on Sunday.
Who&rsquo;d have thought that a first innings total of 212 would produce a thrilling tie? But that&rsquo;s what exactly happened at the Eden Gardens.
Having won the toss and opted to bat, SA were rocked early, losing 4 wickets for just 24 runs on the board. However, a 95-run partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller rescued some momentum for the Proteas.
Even as wickets fell at the other end, David Miller played a brilliant hand, becoming the first South African batter to hit a hundred in World Cup knockouts as Proteas stumbled to 212.
The Aussies started off with bang, a 60-run opening partnership in 6 overs. However, South Africa clawed their way back with quick wickets.
