ICC World Test Championship 2023

June 13, 2023

Australia has won the World Test Championship after a crushing win over India in the final at The Oval, London.
This was India’s second consecutive defeat in a WTC final; they had lost to New Zealand in the title clash of the inaugural edition in 2021.
This was India’s fourth defeat in the ICC finals after their Champions Trophy victory in England in 2013. India lost the final of the T20 World Cup to Sri Lanka in 2014, then lost the Champions Trophy final to Pakistan in 2017 before a defeat to New Zealand in the WTC final in 2021.
Australia also became the first men’s team in world cricket to win an International Cricket Council (ICC) world title in all three formats.
Australia achieved the feat when they decimated India in the final of the World Test Championship 2021-23 at The Oval to become the new world champions of the longest format of the game.
Australia won the first-ever 50-over World Cup in 1987 and went on to win 4 more titles, becoming the most successful side in 50-over World Cups.
Australia also won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2006, beating the West Indies in the final.
