Ind vs Aus ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: The Much-Awaited Finale Match
The Indian Cricket Team, which has an unbeaten run to the title clash, is just a win away from holding the 2023 ODI World Cup trophy. India will lock horns with five-time champions Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday at around 2 pm.
India has showcased dominance in the competition thus far, with several individual records being broken as each player showcases their A-game.
In the semi-final against New Zealand, Virat Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar on the list of most ODI centuries, and Mohammed Shami achieved the milestone of becoming the first Indian bowler to secure a seven-wicket haul in ODI history.
India aims to hold the winning momentum against Australia, a team they defeated to commence their campaign last month.
Conversely, Australia had a forgettable start to their campaign, losing the first two league games to India and South Africa, respectively.
However, Australia Cricket Team led by Pat Cummins made a roaring comeback in the subsequent games, now boasting an eight-match winning streak after overcoming South Africa in the semi-final. Australia will need to deliver another top-notch performance to contain the high-flying India in the final.
