CWC final fizzled

Nov 21, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

The final of the Cricket World Cup fizzled and died as the men in blue could not reproduce their earlier magic with either bat or ball. In the end it was a tame, one-sided affair with the better side winning.

Much was expected in the final between two evenly matched sides. Alas, this was not to be. The seemingly lackluster performance by the men in blue set the stage for the ensuing heartbreak.

Let nothing take away from the match winning performance by the Australians.

They were simply superb when it mattered.

The men in blue have a lot to ponder in this crucial game, their only loss of the tournament. They have the next four years to so do.

All in all, it was a revealing CWC with disappointing performances from three of the big guns- Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan was a game stealer and changer. They can be proud of their all-round performance. So too can the Netherlands. Much are expected in the future from these two teams.

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
