The stage is set for the ultimate showdown of the ODI World Cup 2023, as India and Australia lock horns at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The two teams have been the most dominant forces in the tournament, with India remaining unbeaten and Australia overcoming a tough challenge from South Africa in the semi-final. The final match promises to be a thrilling contest between the two cricketing powerhouses, who have a rich history of rivalry and passion.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, have been unstoppable in their march to the final, winning all their 10 matches with ease. The Men in Blue have displayed a perfect blend of batting, bowling and fielding, with each player contributing to the team’s success.
Australia, on the other hand, have had a more challenging road to the final, losing two matches in the group stage and surviving a scare from South Africa in the semi-final. The Aussies, however, have shown great resilience and determination, bouncing back from every setback with aplomb. The captaincy of Pat Cummins has been inspirational, as he has led from the front with both bat and ball.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the stadium is expected to favour the spinners, as it has traditionally done in the past. However, the recent IPL matches at the venue have also witnessed some high-scoring encounters, suggesting that the batsmen will have a fair chance to express themselves. The Narendra Modi stadium offers a surface that is both favourable to batters and bowlers. Dew can be a factor and teams can prefer chasing targets during the final.
Weather Report:
The big day is anticipated to feature a bright and sunny sky, with the highest temperature reaching 32°C. There is no chance of rain, but an increase in humidity is expected as the game advances into the evening.
