Never thought I’d be playing another World Cup Final in India: Pat Cummins

The grand finale of the ODI World Cup is fast approaching, setting the stage for an epic showdown between India and Australia at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19. Both teams showcased exceptional prowess in the semi-finals, earning their spots in the highly anticipated title clash.

Australia, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, secured a hard-fought victory against South Africa in the gripping second semi-final held at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. Expressing his anticipation to face India, Cummins highlighted Australia’s readiness to challenge the unbeaten Indian squad.

“It is going to be pretty special. 2015 World Cup was one of the highlights of my career, never thought I’d be here playing another World Cup final in India,” Cummins expressed, emphasizing the significance of the impending clash in India.

Reflecting on the semi-final clash against South Africa, the Proteas faced batting challenges, with David Miller’s century and Heinrich Klassen’s contribution leading to a total of 212 runs. Australia, led by Travis Head’s impactful 62 off 48 deliveries, clinched a vital victory with three wickets and 16 balls to spare.

As the cricketing world awaits the ultimate face-off, Cummins acknowledged the enormity of the occasion, anticipating a packed stadium and the thrilling atmosphere of a one-sided crowd. He stressed the importance of embracing the moment despite the anticipated pressure.

“Few of us have played in a final before; a couple of other guys in a T20 World Cup final, the stadium, the biggest in the world, is going to be packed, mostly going to be one-sided. But it’s about embracing it,” Cummins remarked, anticipating the atmosphere and magnitude of the finals.

The stage is set for an enthralling contest as India and Australia gear up to battle for cricket’s most prestigious title in what promises to be an electrifying clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
