The World Cup final prophecy of Mitchell Marsh during the IPL 2023 goes viral
We are one sleep away from the big final of the 2023 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. At the end of 45 riveting league matches and two thrilling semifinal games, the mega tournament is down to two teams: India and Australia. No two teams have faced each other more times than these two in World Cups, as India and Australia are all set to add episode 14 to their sensational rivalry. In the middle of the build-up to the final, it is time to revisit some of the pre-tournament predictions made on the summit clash, and the one that stands out is that of Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who did get it right on his prophecy made about six months ago, but the opener had foretold the scores as well.
While speaking on a podcast show hosted by IPL franchise Delhi Capitals during the 2023 season, Marsh predicted that Australia would meet India in the final. Willingly going into the specific details of his prediction, Marsh further added that Australia will win by 385 runs after folding India for just 65 in the final.
He had said, “Australia will stay undefeated, defeating India in the final, Australia 450-2 in the final, India all out 65," said Marsh, who has been in stellar form in this World Cup with 426 runs at 53.25.”
Although the prophecy regarding India and Australia facing each other in the final came true for Marsh, it is the home team—and not the Aussies—who are undefeated so far in the tournament, winning all 10 of their games—nine in the round-robin stage and one semifinal.
