00:00 This was a great final. What a team!

00:02 Mindset!

00:03 This was a match of mindset between India and Australia.

00:07 They were on the field thinking that we can do it.

00:11 We were saying that India has almost won 1-5 in all their matches.

00:17 They have never challenged anyone.

00:19 This is the way of a big team.

00:21 They came to the ground, their entire plan was sorted.

00:25 They knew what they had to do.

00:27 They came with their homework and showed a great performance.

00:31 Right from the beginning, their fielding was amazing.

00:35 They came with a champion's attitude.

00:37 After losing the first two games, people thought that they are in a bad mood.

00:43 England was also playing badly.

00:45 They were feeling that these two teams are not working in these conditions.

00:48 But they picked up from there.

00:50 They picked up from the match against Pakistan.

00:53 They reached the final and again, that winning mentality takes Australia to the top.

01:01 Let's talk about Travis Head.

01:03 The kind of game he has played, credit goes to Australia and their management.

01:08 He was injured and kept them at the back.

01:11 He took them and left.

01:12 When he got a chance, he scored a century in the first match.

01:16 He was the man of the match in the semi-final.

01:18 He played a 60-odd run in the inning.

01:22 Today, this 137, what a great knock on such a big stage.

01:28 What a great performance by Australia.

01:30 Overall, their captain told us yesterday that when we play a match in front of 1.25 lakh people,

01:38 they enjoy it.

01:40 Absolutely. He is a man of his words.

01:43 Today, he made at least 1.5 million Indians quiet.

01:47 We have seen a lot of runs scored in the last matches.

01:53 But today, we saw that they restricted the run to 240 and then to 240.

01:59 What is the reason for this?

02:01 There are only two grounds in the World Cup, Ahmedabad and Chennai.

02:07 Where 300-plus runs were not scored.

02:11 Today, it has become a bit slow.

02:15 Initially, it was said that this is not the pitch for the World Cup final.

02:20 But again, I would say that the conditions were equal for both the teams.

02:26 Especially, Australia is playing in an alien condition.

02:29 They had to control their nerves in front of so many spectators.

02:34 Again, I would say that their mindset and planning is the best.

02:40 They became the champions for the 6th time.

02:45 And the interesting thing is that they have won all the four finals since 2011-2012.

02:52 They chased the team.

02:54 Australia was ahead in chasing the team.

02:57 So, the score was very low.

02:59 But still, the way India is bowling, they didn't take any trouble.

03:04 They didn't worry at all.

03:06 They succeeded here.

03:08 I would like to tell you that in the final of the UPC test,

03:13 Travis Head bowled a 163 against India.

03:18 Here, he bowled a 137.

03:20 So, India is looking like a special enemy.

03:22 Absolutely.

03:23 Najeeb is with us.

03:24 And Zarrali has also joined us.

03:26 The way we are seeing that Australia has won today,

03:30 the biggest question has also been raised regarding the wicket and pitch.

03:33 That in the previous matches, so many runs were scored.

03:36 But we saw that not many runs were scored on this pitch.

03:39 Zia Zarrali, what would you comment on this?

03:41 And also tell us about the victory of Australia.

03:43 Liberation and Travis Head's century.

03:46 We will talk about that.

03:47 See, we were talking about the pitch in the program.

03:53 This pitch didn't deserve to be in the finals of such a big tournament.

03:57 This pitch didn't deserve to be in the finals of this tournament.

04:00 Secondly, Australia's capacity from the Gulf Press Conference to the Daws and Toss to the match.

04:07 The strip that Australia wrote and planned,

04:10 is 100% the same as you see in the result.

04:15 Their planning, their confidence,

04:17 to win the IPC Test Championship,

04:20 to win the old World Cup,

04:22 D20 World Cup, they have also won recently in 2021.

04:25 So, I think their performance in such a big event,

04:30 they have shown that confidence again today.

04:35 And then, in India, Chennai India was also a favourite.

04:39 Their team was also looking better.

04:41 But they turned it around.

04:43 And as an underdog, after coming to this finals,

04:46 they became the champions.

04:48 And in front of such a big crowd,

04:50 and the whole crowd is so supportive of you.

04:52 And they don't appreciate you so much for your performance.

04:56 Despite that, as Pat Cummins said yesterday,

05:00 how good it would be if they could get such a big crowd.

05:04 I think they have done it today.

05:06 And it's a big thing for Australia.

05:08 And Australia has proved once that why they have become the world champions so many times.

05:12 Right. So, Azhar, Lavishan was also saying that India is a team that is invincible.

05:17 So, defeating them was no less than a dream for us.

05:19 So, they have fulfilled their dream.

05:21 Australia has named itself for the 6th time in the World Cup.

05:24 Before this, the 5 times they have named themselves,

05:26 if we talk about the captain,

05:28 the captain was a batsman.

05:30 The captain now was a fast bowler.

05:32 Has this happened for the first time, Azhar?

05:34 Absolutely. I think the last two World Cups,

05:37 in 1983, Kapil Dev was the Indian captain,

05:39 he was a bowler.

05:40 And along with him, Grant Mars, who was an all-rounder,

05:43 till that time, in 1992.

05:45 But after that, all the batsmen, most of them were batsmen.

05:49 But we have to praise the batsmen,

05:51 the way they have become leaders,

05:53 the way they have become captains,

05:55 the way they have led the Australian team.

05:57 Under pressure, all the matches they have played,

06:00 to take the ashes, to take the World Cup,

06:03 whether they are bowling,

06:05 whether they are batting,

06:06 whether they are bowling,

06:07 they remain very calm, cool.

06:09 Unlike, normally fast bowlers are often seen to be aggressive.

06:13 And when pressure is put, they become very aggressive,

06:15 in which they make mistakes.

06:17 We have seen their batting,

06:19 I think he was talking about the players we have,

06:22 who have a lot of experience,

06:24 many of them have played in the World Cup.

06:26 If their batting,

06:27 if it's Libution or Travis Head,

06:29 the way they have batted,

06:31 there was a trick in it.

06:32 If we see, the strike rate of Libution was 48.9.

06:36 So this is a test strike rate.

06:38 So what would you say,

06:39 they have done a very tricky chase.

06:41 Yes, the pitch was not easy.

06:43 And this chase is just a clean out,

06:45 it's a 3-0 focus early on.

06:47 But Travis Head's mission is to play attacking.

06:50 And he also adapted.

06:52 He saw that our beach players are out.

06:54 Now it's his responsibility.

06:56 He would definitely attack in the middle,

06:58 but he played very carefully.

07:01 He played carefully and where he had to attack,

07:03 he attacked.

07:04 Libution had only one role.

07:05 He wanted to anchor,

07:06 the strike rate,

07:07 his target was not very big these days.

07:09 And if you want to play,

07:12 you have to achieve the target.

07:14 But he kept one thing simple.

07:16 He didn't put a lip at one place.

07:19 He kept one side end stopped.

07:22 So that Travis Head,

07:24 whenever he gets a chance,

07:26 he can put a boundary.

07:27 And when there is a slow total,

07:29 the wickets match you.

07:31 And today I saw in the captaincy,

07:33 that Roy Sharma,

07:34 after being out,

07:35 he gave a very easy run.

07:37 He kept getting singles easily.

07:39 When the spinners came,

07:41 you couldn't see the clip.

07:43 It didn't seem like India was going to take the wicket.

07:46 They thought that maybe they will make a mistake,

07:50 and we will get a wicket and we will be happy.

07:53 But they played a very smart wicket.

07:55 They didn't play such a long part.

07:57 In such a big match and on such a sticky wicket,

08:00 I think outstanding batting and planning,

08:02 and sticking to that plan was very important.
