The defeat in the semi-finals of the last World Cup took its toll on the Indians. After four years of hard work, India finally reached the finals this year. Indian cricketers will face Australia for the world title. Being fully aware of this, they will play with determination to avoid making any mistakes.
The ‘Virat’ Challenge: Virat Kohli has been notably successful against Australia. He has scored a total of 2313 runs in 48 ODIs, including 8 centuries.
PM Modi to Watch the Match: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present for the final Cricket World Cup match alongside Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Richard Marles at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
Australia defeated India in the 2003 World Cup final, winning 10 matches in that tournament. In the 2011 World Cup, hosts India were eliminated by Australia in the quarter-finals.
Three ODIs have been played between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium, with India winning twice and Australia winning once.
So far, 150 ODI matches have been played between India and Australia, with Australia winning 83 matches and India winning 57.
Pitch Conditions: England vs. New Zealand was the first match of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium, witnessing an abundance of fours and sixes. However, the run-scoring decreased in later matches as the pitch became more favorable for spin. Therefore, spinners might find the pitch conducive in the final match as well. Initially, in the first innings, fast bowlers might find some assistance. Consequently, both teams will likely aim to bowl first after winning the toss.
