Australian Cricketer David Warner said that Australia has used their own home strategies to beat India in the World Cup of 2023 final in the last year. On November 19, 2023, the Australians won by 6 wickets from Indian Cricketers which was played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Pat Cummins the captain for Yellow Jersey’s men got their hands on the World Cup Title after breaking India’s 10-match ongoing winning streak in the mega Tournaments.
David Warner was out by Mohammed Shami best baller of Indian Cricket, after scoring only 7 runs out of 3 balls. But Travis Head non-stopped scored 137 runs out of 120 balls to help Australia chase down the score of 241 within 7 overs to standby. David Warner, who has retired from ODIs and Tests, said that his team constantly tried to take the singles and couples on a regular basis to keep the eyes of Indians in check.
“I think we included the fact that we didn’t have anything to lose. We are fortunate to have to understand the conditions in cup matches and the locations from 2009. And Ahmedabad was the location where the boundaries were looked similar to the Australia Boundaries,” David Warner has told R Ashwin on the latter’s YouTube channel.

David Warner Said “Our game plan was structured like around the MCG — hit in the Gap, run for the twos and if we’re bowling, bowl it to the chest and target the big boundaries to get him out Easily. So, for us, it was just like the Australian game plan in the India location. That’s what we believed about and tried to outbreak that situation.

“It helps the most; it definitely helps the Australia team to be part of the IPL and playing on all these wickets. You understand the conditions of the grounds and the type of soil used in stadiums, whether it’s black soil or red soil. Is it going to be turned in the first innings or to be turned in the second innings, you will get that great understanding between in matches,” David Warner said.
