5 big reasons for Australia’s defeat.
Highlights
- Khwaja-Labushen did not get a good start
- Nathan Lion did not get a single wicket
- Travis head did not bat
New Delhi. Defending champion Australia suffered defeat at Lord’s. Pat Cummins’ team could not meet the expectations to save the title in the ICC World Test Championship final. South Africa defeated by 5 wickets and made history by winning the WTC title for the first time. Australia landed as a favorite in the final but his batsmen disappointed him. Especially his two openers Usman Khwaja and Marnas Labushen, Cameron Green, Travis Head and Spinner Nathan Lion disappointed. After the final defeat, the Australian team is being severely criticized. For these 5 reasons, Australia lost the WTC file.
Australia had high expectations from Josh Hazlewood involved in the pace attack. But even this dreaded bowler did not run in the final. Hazelwood, who took one wicket in the first innings, could not take a single wicket in the second innings. This is the first time Hazlewood has lost the ICC final.
Big villain of Nathan Lion Haar
Star spinner Nathan Lion was a great villain of Australia’s defeat. He could not take a single wicket by mixing both innings. Lion threw 8 overs in the first innings while he did not get wickets despite throwing 26 overs in the second innings.
Travis head flops
Explosive batsman Travis Head also failed in the final. He was the hero of the last WTC final and the ODI World Cup final but he did not have one in London. Head, who scored 11 runs in the first innings, went on scoring 9 runs in the second innings. The early dismissal of the head gave Australia a big blow.
