He rejoined the squad later and watched the funeral from afar before smashing 177 runs against Bangladesh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/20\/09\/78015439-0-image-a-1_1700473705307.jpg\" height=\"1031\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mitchell Marsh (left) and father Geoff Marsh (right) after the World Cup final<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/20\/09\/78015479-0-image-a-2_1700473707973.jpg\" height=\"414\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The batter had a turbulent World Cup journey after his grandfather died<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Pure elation. I said to a few of the boys just earlier, it&#8217;s been the hardest eight weeks of cricket I&#8217;ve ever been a part of,&#8217; Marsh said after winning the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We were 0-2 (after two matches), and Sri Lanka were none for 0-120 (in Australia&#8217;s third game), so that feels like a lifetime ago. To be here with this group (as champions), it&#8217;s unbelievable.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>After his knock against Bangladesh, Marsh said:\u00a0&#8216;I&#8217;m sure my nanna, mum and all the family will be watching at home, so hopefully it&#8217;s put a smile on their faces.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My pop was a great man and a huge cricket supporter and they celebrated his life yesterday. Obviously, it&#8217;s been a challenging week for the family. It was nice to be able to perform for them and nice to get the win.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12770299\/Marsh-opens-winning-World-Cup-family-tragedy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitchell Marsh opens up about winning the World Cup after family tragedy: &#8216;It&#8217;s the hardest eight weeks of cricket I&#8217;ve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
