Which team won the 2023 Men's Cricket World Cup final in Ahmedabad?

Australia won the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup final in Ahmedabad. They defeated India by six wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 19 November 2023 to claim a record-extending sixth men’s World Cup title.

India, unbeaten throughout the tournament before the final, made 240 after choosing to bat first. Australia’s bowlers recovered from an expensive opening spell, with captain Pat Cummins leading a disciplined attack that restricted India’s scoring through the middle overs.

Travis Head then produced the decisive innings, scoring 137 from 120 balls. He shared a 192-run partnership with Marnus Labuschagne, who made an unbeaten 58, allowing Australia to reach 241 for four with seven overs remaining.

The result is sometimes confused with the 2003 final, when Australia also defeated India. Australia’s other men’s World Cup victories came in 1987, 1999, 2007, 2015 and 2023.
