This Sunday, November 19, India vs Australia in the much-awaited ODI World Cup 2023 final will take place at the historic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The fans are eagerly anticipating the match, and there have been rumors that Hollywood pop icon Dua Lipa will perform during the event’s closing ceremony. The singer’s interactions with cricket players Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Kane Williamson on November 15 gave rise to these rumors.
Dua Lipa is reportedly not scheduled to sing at the 2023 World Cup final.
Mufaddal wrote on his “X” that “Dua Lipa won’t be performing at the 2023 World Cup Final.”

The prime minister is anticipated to be an honorary guest at the event’s finale.
Another development is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is probably going to be the event’s honorary guest when it comes to the final. One of the first people to congratulate Team India on their thrilling victory over New Zealand—which guaranteed them a spot in the ODI World Cup final for the fourth time ever—was PM, a cricket lover.
“To Team India, congrats! India does exceptionally well and makes a spectacular entrance into the finals. With outstanding bowling and batting, our team won the match. Greetings for the Finals, everyone!” he posted on X this Wednesday.
Congratulations to Team India!
India puts up a superlative performance and enters the Finals in remarkable style.
Fantastic batting and good bowling sealed the match for our team.
Best wishes for the Finals!
