The 2023 Cricket World Cup Final will forever be etched in the memories of cricket fans around the world, not only because of Australia’s record sixth World Cup win, but also because of Travis Head’s outstanding performance. The young Australian cricketer wrote a legend in his name with his batting and clinical play, playing a key role in the team’s victory.
Turning point of the match
Hyde’s impact on the game went far beyond his batting heroics. In the early stages of India’s game, when Indian captain Rohit Sharma made a big run, Hyder ran backwards and took a brilliant catch to send Sharma back to the crease. The brilliant catch was reminiscent of Kapil Dev’s iconic catch against Viv Richards in the 1983 World Cup final, which proved to be the turning point of the match.
Making a century
After a stellar defensive performance, Hyde further cemented his legacy with a brilliant century. At a crucial time when Australia’s record stood at 47/3, Hyde weathered the storm, hitting a string of boundaries and sixes to make 137 runs off just 120 balls. His innings was the third fastest hundred in a World Cup final and put Australia firmly in control of the game, paving the way for their victory.
A day to remember
Hyde’s performance in the World Cup final was a testament to his talent, hard work and determination. He stepped up to the plate when his team needed him most and showed his batting ability and defensive flair. His contribution was instrumental in Australia’s victory and his name will go down in history as one of the World Cup heroes.
