AHMEDABAD, India, Nov 19, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Australia will need 241 to beat India in the Cricket World Cup final at Ahmedabad on Sunday following a disciplined fielding display.

  The record five-time champions dismissed unbeaten tournament hosts India, bidding for a third title, for 240. Left-arm quick Mitchell Starc took 3-55 and Australia captain Pat Cummins, who won the toss, a miserly 2-34 in his maximum 10 overs.

  KL Rahul top-scored with 66 but hit only one boundary in 107 balls. Star batsman Virat Kohli made 54 after India captain Rohit Sharma struck a fluent 47 off just 31 balls opening the innings.
