For Smith, the feeling of defeating India to win the World Cup is incredible. According to him, the atmosphere on Sunday (November 19) was also good.
After the win, Smith said, "It's incredible and yeah it was just a great performance. The bowlers set the tone and the fielding was great this evening. Took the game on and kept playing to our strengths.”
Smith also noted the turnaround after the tournament's opening defeat, "Wasn't the ideal start for us, but we had the belief. Fortunately, we were able to do that and Australia typically plays well in those big moments.”
"Big year for us, also winning the Test Championship," Smith further said, recalling India's defeat in the Champions Trophy that year as well.
Another Aussie batter David Warner, echoed Smith, saying, "Our bowlers were fantastic and they set the tone from ball one. The fielding again supported that. Look, there was a bit of nervous energy in the dressing room, but fantastic partnership between Heady and Marnus.”
