The Australians won their sixth ODI World Cup with this victory.
Australia had already won the World Test Championship, hence this was their second ICC championship in 2023.
The key accomplishments of Australia’s men’s cricket squad in 2023 are explained below.
Indore Test Victory
In the March Test in Indore, Australia defeated India by nine wickets.
This was India’s third home Test defeat since 2013.
The Australians also won a Test in Pune in 2017.
Meanwhile, Steve Smith led Australia to both victories.
The Australians, on the other hand, were defeated 1-2 by the Indian side in the 2023 Test series.
ODI series victory in India
The tourists won the ODI leg of Australia’s 2023 tour of India 2-1.
Notably, the Men in Yellow lost the first game before winning the next two.
This was India’s first ODI series loss at home since losing 2-3 to Australia in March 2019.
Since 2016, no other team has defeated India in an ODI series at home.
Success in the WTC final
In June of this year, Pat Cummins’ men demolished India in the ICC World Test Championship final.
With centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith, Australia finished with a total of 469 while batting first.
India could only manage 296 and 234 in their two innings due to a collective performance from the Australian bowlers.
As a result, the Aussies won by a massive 209 runs.
Urn of Ashes Retention
Australia successfully defended the Ashes urn after a 2-2 draw on English soil in June-July.
The visitors lost the third game after winning the previous two.
Because of the weather delay in the fourth Test, Australia avoided a series-leveling defeat.
Despite winning the final Test to tie the series, reigning champions Australia retained the urn.
