When India plays Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final on Sunday, all eyes will be on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The cricket match between IND and AUS is slated to begin at 2:00 PM IST and will be aired live in India on broadcast and live streaming.
India and Australia will play one another in the ICC ODI World Cup for the second time. When the two sides met on October 8, India prevailed by a margin of six wickets. Australia was bowled out for 199 runs before India’s top-order collapse was turned around by KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
After winning nine of their nine games to close up the league stage, India defeated New Zealand by 70 runs in the semi-finals. Before Mohammed Shami’s seven-wicket haul terminated New Zealand’s innings on 327, India amassed an impressive 397/4 thanks to centuries from Kohli and Shreyas Iyer in the semi-final.
Conversely, Australia emerged victorious from their final seven league games despite losing their initial fixtures against South Africa and India. After chasing 213 in the semi-finals, the Kangaroos overcame South Africa by three wickets.
In the ODI World Cup, Australia has defeated India in eight of the 13 matches played, while India has won three of the previous four meetings.
India will play Australia for the fourth time in the ODI World Cup knockout stages. After eliminating Australia in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinals, India lost by 125 runs in the 2003 World Cup final and by 95 runs in the 2015 World Cup semi-finals.
But when it comes to the ICC events, Australia has a flawless record versus India. Australia defeated India in the ICC World Test Championships final earlier this year in addition to winning the 2003 World Cup final.
With titles in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015, Australia is also the all-time ODI World Cup champion. India, meanwhile, emerged victorious in both 1983 and 2011.
There will be several personal conflicts in the World Cup final between Australia and India. One of them will be Kohli vs. Mitchell Starc. Being the foundation of the Indian top order, Kohli is playing at an incredible level.
Kohli became the first player to amass more than 700 runs in an ODI World Cup history with a century in the semi-final. He will be expected to carry the Indian top-order against the likes of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and the lethal Starc. He leads all scorers at the 2023 ODI World Cup with 711 runs. Adam Zampa, an Australian leg-spinner, has also performed admirably in the middle overs.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja make up the Indian bowling lineup. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, all three are among the top 10 wicket-takers.
There have also been several notable runs from Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, David Warner, and Steve Smith, and India’s Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul. The match between two evenly matched teams will be the IND vs. AUS final.
