Umpire Richard Cattleborough No, call it Australia’s luck!

Actually, Richard Cattleborough, who will be the field umpire in the World Cup 2023 final, has been lucky for Australia. In the last few years, Australia has won every major ICC tournament match in which Richard Cattleborough has been standing. This has been happening from the semi-finals of the 2015 World Cup to the semi-finals of the 2023 World Cup.

Richard Cattleborough was the umpire in the semi-finals of the 2015 World Cup, in which Australia defeated India. Then in the final of the same World Cup, Cattleborough was the umpire and Australia became the champion. After this, when Australia won the 2021 T20 World Cup final title, Richard Cattleborough was still the umpire. Even the World Cup 2023 final against South Africa, which Australia managed to win by 3 wickets, Richard Cattleborough was the umpire there too.

What will happen in the final of World Cup 2023?

Now it is the turn of the final of World Cup 2023. Richard Cattleborough is the field umpire in this match also. It remains to be seen whether this luck factor works for Australia in the same way as it has been doing till now or whether the luck of the Australian team will also work with the same speed with which Rohit Sharma has taken his team to the finals. Neutralize and become champions.
