Men’s ODI WC: India Were Definitely Favourites; Tenacity Helped Australia Win Title, Says Brett Lee
ODI World Cup: Australia's legendary fast-bowler Brett Lee believes India were definitely the favourites to win the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup trophy, but Australia’s tenacity helped them pull off a victory and take their sixth 50-over title in men’s international cricket.
India were the pre-tournament favourites and won 10 straight matches in familiar conditions in the competition. But their unbeaten run came to an end when they lost to Australia by six wickets in Sunday’s final at Ahmedabad. India were bowled out for 240 after being put in to bat first, which Australia chased down in 43 overs, thanks to a superb 120-ball 137 from Travis Head.
“If you look back on statistics and what has happened in this campaign, India should have won. India should have won the tournament with their men on paper, with their current form leading into the final.”
