Starc predicts ‘spectacle of cricket’ in WC final against India

AFP, Kolkata :
Australia’s Mitchell Starc believes Sunday’s World Cup (WC) final against India at Ahmedabad’s 130,000-capacity stadium will be “loud and a spectacle of cricket”.

Five-time champions Australia edged out South Africa by three wickets in a tense chase of 213 in Kolkata on Thursday to make their eighth World Cup final.

“It’s a big occasion, it’s a World Cup final,” Starc, who returned figures of 3-34 to help bowl out South Africa for 212, told reporters.

“Guys in both changing rooms have been there before at different formats.

Both teams played each other in the (World Test Championship) Final earlier in the year. I don’t think either changing room is new to big occasions.
