Iceland Cricket’s Brutal Dig at Australia says, “Toxins in Dressing Room Paint, Alignment of Moon..."
The Australian cricket team has made it to yet another ODI World Cup final. On Thursday, they defeated South Africa by 7 wickets in the second semi-final, setting up a meet-up with India at the Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19. The chase of 213 turned tricky after the Aussies lost a couple of wickets in quick succession in the middle overs, but they managed to cross the finish line with 16 balls to spare.
The Australians will now move to Ahmedabad to play the grand finale of the ICC World Cup 2023 on Sunday against an invincible India. But before the much-anticipated clash, Iceland Cricket has taken a cheeky jibe at the 5-time champions, suggesting they must check everything—from the metal of the coin to be used for the toss to the alignment of the moon and venus—before locking horns with the hosts.
Iceland Cricket posted on X, “Message to the Aussies: check everything before the final. The metal and markings on the coin, the weight of the roller, the toxins in the dressing room’s paint, the alignment of the Moon and Venus, etc. Leave nothing to chance, since you don’t want to end up feeling insecure.
The social media post of the Iceland Cricket Board comes after the Aussie media reported about the changing of the pitch in Mumbai, followed by Ahmedabad, by the BCCI to favour Indian bowlers.
