The verdict on the pitch for the final IND vs AUS game was given by ICC match referee Andy Pycroft, almost a month after the conclusion of the marquee event. For the semi-finals held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata between South Africa and Australia, match referee Javagal Srinath adjudged the pitch as ‘average’.

Further, India’s matches against South Africa in Kolkata, against England in Lucknow, versus Pakistan in Ahmedabad, and against Australia in Chennai saw the pitch being rated as average as well.

Heartbreak and agony for one is ecstasy for another. Australia stunned 1,32,000 India fans at the world’s largest cricket stadium to lift a 6th World Cup title after a 6-wicket win over India. With an all-round show, Travis Head hunted down Rohit Sharma’s Invincibles to end their 10-match winning streak.

In response to India’s 240-run total Australia chased down the target in 43 overs with 6 wickets in hand. India also lost to Australia in WTC Final earlier this year.
