'India Can Lose The World Cup..'- Yuvraj Singh

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh issued a warning to Team India ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023 final against Australia. He said that five-time champions know how to win the big games and they have the temperament to win the final.

Facing Australia in the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 will be one of the biggest challenges for India in the ongoing tournament. The Men in Blue have played a dominating brand of cricket throughout the entire tournament and are undefeated so far with 10 wins under their belt.

However, with the kind of ability Australia has, it’s fair to say that the margin of error for India will be very low. They have to be at their absolute best if they have to fancy their chances of winning the tournament. The Pat Cummins-led have found their mojo in the tournament and are tumbling early, winning 8 consecutive games.

The clash between them will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 19th November (Sunday). The stadium is expected to be a full house, which is nothing but will add more pressure on both teams. It’ll be the 8th final for Australia and to win against them will be the biggest issue.

Yuvraj Singh feels that India is high on confidence and they will only lose if they make mistakes. He added that Australia will need to play at their best because Men in Blue have dominated. Speaking to PTI, he explained:

“Given how India’s graph has been in the World Cup, I don’t think they will perform badly. The only way India can lose this World Cup is through their mistakes. I feel they are high on confidence at the moment.

“Australia dominated the 2003 World Cup and although we played well and reached the final, Australia dominated us. This time, I feel India have dominated the tournament. Australia will need to play their best cricket in the final, or else they have no chance against India.”

IND vs AUS: They win big matches because they have that big match temperament – Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh further mentioned that Australia knows how to handle pressure because they have won the World Cup many times. He added that they win matches because they have the temperament to win big games. He explained:

“Australia know how to handle pressure. They have won the World Cup so many times. Even in the semifinal against South Africa, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc showed great composure as batters even when their specialist batters were all out. They win big matches because they have that big match temperament.”

India will be entering the game on the back of 10 consecutive wins in the tournament whereas Australia have won 8 games on trot.
