ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Final - India v Australia: Travis Head's big day out

After 45 pool games and two semi-finals, the Big Dance is finally here: Australia, India, Ahmedabad, 130,000 people in the crowd and more than a billion watching from afar. In this episode of the show, Baldy, Raj and Stu look review the final, discussing the key players and moments. We talk the toss, the powerplays, Pat Cummins as a bowler and a captain, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Travis Head's catch and his innings, Marnus Labuschagne's tournament and the hurt the Indian players and fans must be feeling after what has been a brilliant World Cup up until this point. But of course, the spoils go to the victors, so there's plenty of praise for Australia and the way they built into this tournament after a difficult start, and produced their best performance when it mattered most. We'll be back again in a few days' time to look back at the tournament as a whole and shine a light on some of our favourite moments.
