Internet gets flooded with funny memes after India suffers a loss in U19 World Cup Final against Australia.
India’s U19 cricket team faced a tough defeat in the World Cup final against Australia’s U19 team on Sunday in Benoni, South Africa. This marks India’s third consecutive loss to Australia in ICC finals. The trend started last year when Rohit Sharma-led India lost to Pat Cummins’ Australia in the World Test Championship final in June. A few months later, India faced another defeat in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final at Ahmedabad against Australia. This loss stands out as one of the most significant in recent history, considering India’s impressive record leading up to the final, with 10 consecutive wins.
Similarly, the India U19 team had performed exceptionally well throughout the tournament, winning every match except the final, where they once again succumbed to Australia. Despite the loss, both the Australian team and Indian fans acknowledged each other’s performances on social media platforms. However, the string of losses to Australia sparked a meme frenzy on Twitter.
Here are some of best memes:
In the final, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in overcast conditions. They posted a competitive total of 253 for 7 in 50 overs, with Harjas Singh contributing a crucial fifty. India struggled in their chase of 254 runs and eventually got bowled out for 174 in 43.5 overs.
