As the in-form Indian team takes on the Australians in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final on Sunday (November 19), it will have none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi sitting as a spectator to cheer its efforts. An official release from Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's office has said that the Indian PM, along with Australia's Deputy PM Richard Marles will be present to witness the match at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The Gujarat Chief Minister held a high-level meeting in Ahmedabad on Friday (Nov&nbsp;17) for a comprehensive review of various aspects like security, traffic management, cleanliness and more, said the release from his office.

Australia defeated South Africa by three wickets&nbsp;at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday. Hosts India triumphed over New Zealand by 70 runs at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India and Australia have been in World Cup finals before, and all eyes are on the match on Sunday to see which of the two formidable teams prevails and lifts the coveted Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy.

India sailed through the matches in the group stage by registering victory in nine out of nine matches. A number of matches saw the Indian side dominate the opposition in a decisive, unquestionable manner. With 18 points in their kitty, India is right at the top of the table.

The semi-final against New Zealand saw ace Indian&nbsp;batter Virat Kohli smash&nbsp;his 50th One-Day International (ODI) century and break&nbsp;Sachin Tendulkar's record. Riding high on the batting performances of Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill, India posted a mammoth total of 397 at the end of 50 overs.&nbsp;

In reply, New Zealand could only make 327 runs before all of their batters were sent to pavillion by Indian bowling attack. Daryl Mitchell did hit&nbsp;a century, but the effort was inadequate to take New Zealand&nbsp;past the finish line.

The Australian side was considered an underdog against South Africa because of their previous defeat. But Pat Cummins-led Aussies were able to score 215 after bowling South Africa out on 212.

India vs Australia World Cup final: PM Modi to cheer India from stands, Aussie Dy PM to be present too

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce&#39;s political future was in doubt Monday after it emerged he was a dual citizen, placing the conservative government&#39;s slim parliamentary majority at risk.

Australia does not allow dual citizens to sit in Parliament, with New Zealand confirming later Monday its citizenship was automatically granted to Joyce via his father.

The revelation has major implications for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull&#39;s Liberal-National coalition government, which won national elections last year with 76 seats in the House of Representatives -- a narrow one-seat majority.

Joyce has refused to step aside, instead referring the case to the High Court, saying that the solicitor-general was confident he would not be disqualified.

The obscure rule was little known until recently but several lawmakers have fallen victim to it in recent months, leaving parliamentarians scrambling to clarify their ancestral ties.

&quot;Needless to say, I was shocked to receive this information,&quot; Joyce told parliament after hearing he may be a dual citizen.

&quot;I&#39;ve always been an Australian citizen born in (regional city) Tamworth. Neither me or my parents had any reason to believe that I may be a citizen of any other country.&quot;

The dual citizenship crisis kicked off in July when the minor Greens party&#39;s co-deputy leader Scott Ludlam resigned after revealing he had dual Australian-New Zealand citizenship.

The crisis soon claimed other victims, including Canadian-born Greens Senator Larissa Waters and Resources Minister Matt Canavan, who left cabinet after finding his mother signed him up to Italian citizenship in his 20s.

Joyce said Monday he had been contacted by the New Zealand High Commission last week to advise him that he &quot;could be a citizen of New Zealand by descent&quot;.

While Joyce -- the leader of the Nationals party -- was born in Australia, he told parliament his father was born in neighbouring New Zealand and moved to Australia in 1947.

A spokesman for New Zealand Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne that there was no doubt about Joyce&#39;s status, saying&nbsp;that &quot;as far as New Zealand law goes, he is a New Zealand citizen under the Citizenship Act&quot;.

&quot;Mr. Joyce was born to a New Zealand citizen father and even though (the father) migrated to Australia in the 1940s that citizenship remained and he passed on the right of citizenship ...to his children.&quot;

He said citizenship was automatically granted and did not need an application.

Turnbull on Monday wrote to Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten to ask if his party wanted to refer any MPs over their citizenship status to the High Court so all the cases could be considered as a bloc, The Australian newspaper reported.

Canavan and minor party One Nation&#39;s Indian-born Malcolm Roberts have already had their elections referred to the court, which will decide if they had taken reasonable steps to renounce their foreign allegiances.

Almost half of Australia&#39;s 24-million population was born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas, according to last year&#39;s census.

Indigenous people account for about three percent of the population.
