On Sunday, November 19, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the much-awaited ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 final between Australia and India will take place. Notably, the two sides will face off in the ODI World Cup final for the second time ever; the first time was in 2003, when Australia won by 125 runs.
India’s campaign has gone flawlessly so far, as they topped the points table after winning all nine of their group stage games and accruing 18 points. At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, they faced fourth-place New Zealand in the semi-final, which they won by 70 runs to guarantee their place in the championship game.
Conversely, Australia’s World Cup campaign began with consecutive defeats to South Africa and India. The Pat Cummins-led team, however, pulled off a stunning turnaround, winning their next seven games in a row to take third place with 14 points in the standings. In order to guarantee their spot in the final against India, the Kangaroos defeated South Africa by three wickets at Eden Gardens in Kolkata during their semi-final match.
