World Cup Daily 2023, Day 43: Was it going to be 1999 all over again? With 213 in the mix, a nervy chase, and more twists and turns than the Italian Job, it sure felt like for long periods of the game today. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood were perfect. Australia's fielding was too. David Miller was remarkable. Gerald Coetzee hung tough, then bowled with heart. David Warner and Travis Head exploded. Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj wove webs. And on and on it went. Take the ride with The Final Word.
