<p>The ongoing India vs Australia ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad was interrupted briefly in the first innings when a pitch invader, supporting Palestine in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict,&nbsp;stormed across the turf and attempted to hug Virat Kohli.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident transpired during the 14th over of the match when the fan, giving the security cordon a slip, managed to reach Kohli. Images and videos on social media showed the man wearing a white T-shirt with the caption "Stop bombing Palestine" written on the front while "free Palestine" on the back. He was also carrying what seemed like a Pride flag while wearing a&nbsp;face mask that had a Palestinian flag on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Virat Kohli received a signed jersey from Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the India-Australia ICC ODI World Cup 2023 edition's finale&nbsp;between India and Australia on Sunday (Nov 19) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Kohli, who created history after surpassing Tendulkar's 49 ODI centuries tally (most-ever) during the semi-finals, got the signed jersey from Tendulkar's last ODI. It is to be noted that the legendary cricketer played his last 50-over match in early 2012 during the Asia Cup.</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: How much is prize money for winner and runners-up? Check details inside

<p>The day the cricketing world has been keenly waiting for is finally upon us, as it’s time for the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Two teams on the top of their prowess will fight for the ultimate glory, with celebrities, A-Listers and political leaders gracing the occasion with their presence. Here is the preview and result prediction of the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final.</p>

<h2>India eye third World Cup title</h2>

<p>The India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final is a 20-year-in-making event. India last played the Aussies two decades ago in Johannesburg&nbsp;when Ricky Ponting and his men crashed a billion Indian hopes, beating them by 125 runs in a one-sided final. However, this time, the home team is on an unparalleled run in this competition, winning ten matches on the trot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From the captain Rohit Sharma to the modern-day great Virat Kohli, batters have made merry by piling up runs at will. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul notched&nbsp;crucial hundreds during the business end further cemented India’s chances of lifting their third world title.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Outside of Ravindra Jadeja, a vital cog in the wheel for the hosts, the bowling unit has taken the World Cup by storm.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>ALSO READ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/tense-faces-around-but-players-know-their-roles-rohit-sharma-relaxed-ahead-of-world-cup-final-against-aus-660172">Tense faces around but players know their roles: Rohit Sharma 'relaxed' ahead of World Cup final against AUS</a></strong></p>

<p>Although Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav have found success in bits, Mohammed Shami has been the revelation, picking 23 wickets from just six matches, including a record-breaking seven-wicket haul in the semis against New Zealand.</p>

<p>With these match-winners on India’s side, the Men in Blue are most inclined to be&nbsp;one evening away from ultimate glory.</p>

<h3>Can Australia cause the greatest upset ever? You bet!</h3>

<p>Discounting Australia in the World Cup 2023 final would be the silliest mistake a player or a fan could make. Capable of turning tables around at will, Pat Cummins-led Australia can break the shackles and silence more than 100,000 Indian fans inside the stadium and billions watching all over for the second time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Considering the match-winners in Australia’s star-studded ageing line-up, they would back themselves to outplay the most dominant side in the world cricket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis Head will hold the key at the top for the former five-time winners, while the pace trio of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood will pose a threat in Ahmedabad.</p>

<h4>Result Prediction:</h4>

<p>Australia might have peaked at the right time, winning eight straight games despite losing to India and South Africa in their first two matches, but India would enter the contest as hot favourites.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Predicted playing XIs of both teams:</strong></p>

<p><strong>India -</strong> Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj</p>

The day the cricketing world has been keenly waiting for is finally upon us, as it’s time for the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Two teams on the top of their prowess will fight for the ultimate glory, with celebrities, A-Listers and political leaders gracing the occasion with their presence. Here is the preview and result prediction of the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final. India eye third World Cup title The India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final is a 20-year-in-making event. India last played the Aussies two decades ago in Johannesburg when Ricky Ponting and his men crashed a billion Indian hopes, beating them by 125 runs in a one-sided final. However, this time, the home team is on an unparalleled run in this competition, winning ten matches on the trot. From the captain Rohit Sharma to the modern-day great Virat Kohli, batters have made merry by piling up runs at will. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul notched crucial hundreds during the business end further cemented India’s chances of lifting their third world title. Outside of Ravindra Jadeja, a vital cog in the wheel for the hosts, the bowling unit has taken the World Cup by storm. ALSO READ: Tense faces around but players know their roles: Rohit Sharma 'relaxed' ahead of World Cup final against AUS Although Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav have found success in bits, Mohammed Shami has been the revelation, picking 23 wickets from just six matches, including a record-breaking seven-wicket haul in the semis against New Zealand. With these match-winners on India’s side, the Men in Blue are most inclined to be one evening away from ultimate glory. Can Australia cause the greatest upset ever? You bet! Discounting Australia in the World Cup 2023 final would be the silliest mistake a player or a fan could make. Capable of turning tables around at will, Pat Cummins-led Australia can break the shackles and silence more than 100,000 Indian fans inside the stadium and billions watching all over for the second time. Considering the match-winners in Australia’s star-studded ageing line-up, they would back themselves to outplay the most dominant side in the world cricket. Travis Head will hold the key at the top for the former five-time winners, while the pace trio of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood will pose a threat in Ahmedabad. Result Prediction: Australia might have peaked at the right time, winning eight straight games despite losing to India and South Africa in their first two matches, but India would enter the contest as hot favourites. Predicted playing XIs of both teams: India - Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj Australia - David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

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

<p>Captain Rohit Sharma takes pride in wearing the Indian jersey regardless of the opposition and the occasion. Ahead of the grandest event in cricket – the World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Rohit feels he and his team are prepared and ready for the marquee clash despite various emotions running wild in the dressing room.</p>

<p>Addressing the media on the eve of the World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rohit said he wants his team to continue playing the way they have and thrashed opponents thus far. Adding that an enormous amount of hard work has gone into winning ten matches on the trot in this competition, Rohit remains honest about his feelings about playing the daddy game.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We just want to go out there, keep it nice and easy, and calm. I had said then, 'Yeah it'll be nice to win'. In the same tone, I want to say it again: it'll be nice to win, [and] we've worked really hard. But I don't want to get too excited and feel much pressure about it,” Rohit said.&nbsp;</p>

Tense faces around but players know their roles: Rohit Sharma 'relaxed' ahead of World Cup final against AUS

<p>Captain Rohit Sharma has credited head coach Rahul Dravid for India’s unprecedented and unparalleled run in the World Cup 2023. Having won all the 10 straight matches thus far in the tournament, the Indian Team looks determined to bury the past demons to claim their third World Cup trophy, this time for the veteran ‘The Wall’.</p>

<p>Speaking highly of Dravid, who had been at the helm of things since taking up the job in 2021, Rohit said the coach is the main reason behind a relaxed dressing room environment, which eventually brought the best out of each player in this tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rohit added that Dravid’s presence has had a massive impact in terms of having clarity and everyone performing to their granted roles.</p>

CWC: Rohit credits coach Dravid for India's unparalleled World Cup run, wishes to lift trophy for ‘The Wall’

<p>Former England World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan is not ready to discount Australia in the grand finale against India on Sunday, knowing what they can do in the high-pressure games. Morgan, who had been on the receiving end (against the Aussies) several times during his playing days, is aware of their capability of turning the tables around when it matters the most.</p>

<p>Considering several parameters, India is entering the contest as the favourite to lift the coveted crown. However, Morgan feels with Australia mastering the art of absorbing pressure, which is their hallmark, a belief to cause perhaps the greatest upset in recent history would be there within the camp. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“As the only team capable of halting India's unbeaten streak, Australia's ability to perform under pressure is their hallmark. Their well-drilled team, developed across all three formats, exudes a belief and confidence unique to their cricketing culture,” Morgan wrote in his exclusive column for the ICC.</p>

<p>Having led England to their maiden World Cup title four years ago in a contest dubbed by many the most-tensed at this level, Morgan knows how emotions can alter momentum on such days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The now-retired veteran batter and the captain said despite Australia entering the contest as underdogs, they would sense the opportunity to play out of their skin to beat a formidable Indian Team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Emotions will run high on the final day, with Australia embracing the underdog label and India carrying the weight of 1.3 billion fans on their shoulders,” Morgan stated.</p>

Australia's ability to perform under pressure is their hallmark: Eoin Morgan warns India ahead of CWC final

<p>It’s been 20 years since the 2003 World Cup final in Johannesburg, where Ricky Ponting’s record-breaking 140* crushed a billion Indian hopes as Australia walked over the Men in Blue with a 125-run win. With both teams to face off in the summit clash for the first time in two decades on Sunday in Ahmedabad, Ponting recalls the inning his coach John Buchanan then labelled ‘the finest knock in World Cup history.’</p>

<p>The former Australia captain led from the front and played a captain’s knock alongside Damien Martyn, who, even with a broken thumb, slammed an unbeaten 88 off 84. A 234-run stand for the third wicket saw Australia post a mammoth 359 for two batting first.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Revealing how he approached his inning in the final, Ponting said he began relatively slowly but picked up during the fag end of the innings. Ponting even admitted informing the 12th man of asking everyone in the dressing room to tighten their seatbelts as he was about to unleash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As promised, Ricky did that by hitting a couple of sixes to Harbhajan Singh in the 39th over. Without looking back after changing gears, he hammered each bowler to all parts of the ground, hitting eight sixes and four fours in his 121-ball stay at the crease.</p>

<p>"It had taken me about 70 balls to get to 50," Ponting recalled, speaking with cricket.com.au.&nbsp;</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: South Africa coach gives BRUTAL reply on who'll win tournament | WATCH

<p>Australia will have a shot at glory in the ODI World Cup final on Sunday (Nov 19) after they booked their place in the summit clash against India with a three-wicket win over South Africa. Architect-in-chief of the win, Travis Head was at his best at the Eden Gardens with both bat and ball as produced a 62-run knock coupled with a brace of wickets. Chosen the Player of the Match, he opened up on the challenge while batting as it was a difficult wicket to bat while spinners were in business.</p>

<h2><strong>Head reflects on challenge</strong></h2>

<p>“Didn't move from the seat for the last part. We knew how it was going to play, we had three or four days here. We haven't seen such spin, we knew we had to battle. I thought I wasn't going to be here (after the hand injury), but I am happy to contribute for Australia, nice to be here. Straight as they came (Klaasen dismissal),” Head said while speaking in the POTM presentation.</p>

<p>It was a close call between the traditional rivals as Australia won by three wickets while chasing 213 at the Eden Gardens.</p>

<p>They won with 16 balls to spare but needed a good helping hand from the tailenders to reach the final. David Warner (29) and Travis Head (62) made sure the five-time champions got off to a perfect start with a 60-run stand.</p>

<p>However, successive wickets jolted their momentum but Steven Smith (30) and Josh Inglis did enough to get the Aussies over the line. Marnus Labuschagne also scored an important 18 while South Africa bowlers were in little mood.</p>

<p>“He (Klaasen) smacked me, was under the pump, but it was nice to get his wicket. I was prepared to bowl a few overs, always keen to contribute with the ball. We have had that positive approach to keep the pace rolling,” Head added.</p>

<p>There were wickets for Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Gerald Coetzee, and Keshav Maharaj while their stand-out bowler was Tabraiz Shamsi with two.</p>

<h2><strong>South Africa slump with bat</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier, Australia steamrolled South Africa batters with a dominant show as they reduced the Proteas to 212 in 49.4 overs.</p>

<p>David Miller was the only silver lining for South Africa as he top-scored with 101 before they were bowled out.</p>

Australia will have a shot at glory in the ODI World Cup final on Sunday (Nov 19) after they booked their place in the summit clash against India with a three-wicket win over South Africa.

Australia will have a shot at glory in the ODI World Cup final on Sunday (Nov 19) after they booked their place in the summit clash against India with a three-wicket win over South Africa. Architect-in-chief of the win, Travis Head was at his best at the Eden Gardens with both bat and ball as produced a 62-run knock coupled with a brace of wickets. Chosen the Player of the Match, he opened up on the challenge while batting as it was a difficult wicket to bat while spinners were in business. Australia won a nail-biting contest in Kolkata to secure a place in the final of the #CWC23 👏#SAvAUS 📝: https://t.co/1iPjdYnIe3 pic.twitter.com/NPjiWIDTGT — ICC (@ICC) November 16, 2023 × Head reflects on challenge “Didn't move from the seat for the last part. We knew how it was going to play, we had three or four days here. We haven't seen such spin, we knew we had to battle. I thought I wasn't going to be here (after the hand injury), but I am happy to contribute for Australia, nice to be here. Straight as they came (Klaasen dismissal),” Head said while speaking in the POTM presentation. It was a close call between the traditional rivals as Australia won by three wickets while chasing 213 at the Eden Gardens. They won with 16 balls to spare but needed a good helping hand from the tailenders to reach the final. David Warner (29) and Travis Head (62) made sure the five-time champions got off to a perfect start with a 60-run stand. However, successive wickets jolted their momentum but Steven Smith (30) and Josh Inglis did enough to get the Aussies over the line. Marnus Labuschagne also scored an important 18 while South Africa bowlers were in little mood. “He (Klaasen) smacked me, was under the pump, but it was nice to get his wicket. I was prepared to bowl a few overs, always keen to contribute with the ball. We have had that positive approach to keep the pace rolling,” Head added. There were wickets for Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Gerald Coetzee, and Keshav Maharaj while their stand-out bowler was Tabraiz Shamsi with two.

Skipper Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc were the stars of the show for the Aussies as they scalped eight wickets between them.

ODI World Cup 2023: We haven't seen such spin - POTM Travis Head reflects after tense win over SA in Kolkata

<p>The legendary former Australia batter Ian Chappell has termed Virat Kohli as the best batter of the current year as India get ready for the ODI World Cup final on Sunday. Virat has been in sensational form at the ODI World Cup, having scored 711 runs in 10 matches so far while setting a new record for most runs in a single ODI World Cup edition. According to Chappell, Kohli is enjoying the form of his life despite turning 35 recently and terms him best ahead of some of them modern-day greats.</p>

<p>“No, we haven’t. (on Smith’s best form). Let’s go back to Kohli first. He doesn’t anymore but there was a point in his career where he averaged over 50 in all three formats. Now, that’s a remarkable performance. I think Kohli is probably the best batsman of this era,” Chappell said while speaking on Wide World of Sports.</p>

<p>“I like his attitude. I heard him interviewed about batting and I think he’s got a terrific approach to batting. The other thing to look at is his fitness. He is 36 years of age, have a look at how he was running between the wickets. He has obviously put fitness right up there," the former Aussie skipper added.</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: Australia legend in awe of Virat Kohli, terms 'best batter' of current era

<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to make the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final the grandest event of the year. While the players continue to practice and put in hard yards for the marquee clash, the board officials are determined to make this event watch-worthy by adding several attractions.</p>

<p>Per the latest reports, the BCCI will honour all the World Cup winning captains, excluding Pakistan ex-PM and 1992 winner Imran Khan, currently in prison, with a special blazer representing the World Cup 2023. The reports further suggest an air show by the Suryakiran Acrobatic team will open the final, while music-composer Pritam will also perform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such efforts are like the cherry on the cake for the final, which promises to be an exciting contest between top teams in this tournament.</p>

<p>With all World Cup winning captains – Clive Lloyd (West Indies), Kapil Dev (India), Allan Border (Australia), Arjuna Ranatunga (Sri Lanka), Steve Waugh (Australia), Ricky Ponting (Australia), MS Dhoni (India), Michael Clarke (Australia) and Eoin Morgan (England), present at the gigantic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad, it would be a sight to behold for all onlookers.</p>

<p>India and Australia are set to lock horns&nbsp;in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which will be held at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (Nov 19). Ahead of the summit clash, India's 1983 World Cup-winning member Madan Lal feels R Ashwin has an 'outside chance' to feature in the playing XI. It is to be noted that Ashwin has got only one game so far in the tournament, when India faced Australia in Chennai on Oct 8.</p>

<h2><strong>'I do not think that India will opt to change the winning combination'</strong></h2>

<p>While speaking on Aajtak, Lal said, "Ravichandran Ashwin’s selection will depend on the conditions of the pitch. But I do not think that India will opt to change the winning combination in the final against Australia."</p>

<p>“Australia did not look comfortable at all playing Tabraiz Shamsi (in the second semi-final)) and they will not be comfortable playing Kuldeep Yadav either and I believe that you will get a great track to bat on in Ahmedabad,” the former India player further added.</p>

ODI WC final: 'He might have an outside chance to play': Ex-cricketer on THIS India player for Australia tie

<p>India are set to take on Australia in the CWC 2023 final on Sunday (Nov 19) at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad. So far, India have been on a rampage, winning 10&nbsp;games in the ongoing competition. They will meet the Aussies, who are on an eight-match winning streak, and, thus, it promises to be an enthralling finale.</p>

<p>Ahead of the final, former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik heaped praise on KL Rahul -- one of India's top-performers in the ODI WC. In nine games, Rahul has held on to some impressive catches behind the stumps and scored 386 runs batting at No. 5; playing different roles as per match situations. Malik, thus, lauded Rahul and labelled him the 'best at No. 5 in world cricket'.</p>

<h2><strong>'He can finish the match, can improvise, can play with a good strike rate'</strong></h2>

<p>Malik said while speaking on&nbsp;A Sports' show The Pavillion, "The best at No 5 in the world cricket. Klassen (Heinrich) needs a base to get going. But if you compare, India have got the best batter at 5, who can play in any sort of situation. This is why KL bats at 5. If India lose two or three wickets early, he is someone, who can play according to the situation."</p>

<p>Rahul has had scores of 97*, 19*, 34*, 27, 39, 21, 8, 102, 39* in the ODI WC at home. The right-hander has been more than handy behind the stumps as well, assisting captain Rohit Sharma with DRS calls and holding on to most of the chances (stumpings or catching opportunities).

<h2><strong>What happened in the 2003 ODI World Cup final?</strong></h2>

<p>Having lost by eight wickets in the league stage meeting, India skipper Sourav Ganguly opted to field first after having won the toss. India had lost by nine wickets in the league stage meeting, which had influenced Ganguly’s decision to bowl first in the final. However, Australia, then led by Ricky Ponting, had no issues taking the guards first with reliable Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden opening for them.</p>

<p>Gilchrist and Hayden stitched a partnership of 105 runs for the opening wicket, with Gilchrist scoring 57 while Hayden would later get dismissed for 37. Both wickets fell in quick succession, scalped by Harbhajan Singh, but there was not much joy for the Indian team. Ponting scored an unbeaten 140 off 121 deliveries consisting of 8 sixes and 4 fours. His innings and an unbeaten partnership of 234 runs with Damien Martyn helped Australia to a massive 359-run total in the final. Martin would score an unbeaten 88 and support Ponting in the massive partnership against the Indian bowling line-up.</p>

<h2><strong>India started poorly</strong></h2>

<p>Eyeing a massive 360 runs to win, India needed a good start with openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in the middle. Tendulkar, playing in his first final, made an unexpected decision of batting at the striker's end while usually starting at the non-striker's end. He scored a four on the fourth ball of the innings and looked set to help India chase the target, but that joy was short-lived as Glenn McGrath caught and bowled the India legend on the very next ball. That broke millions of Indian hearts, as Tendulkar departed for four.</p>

<p>Then came some handy knocks in the chase from skipper Ganguly (24), Rahul Dravid (47), and Yuvraj Singh (24) to help India stay in the chase. Sehwag at the other end was fighting the fort alone with a composed innings while others could not resist the Australian bowling lineup. However, his warrior innings came to an unfortunate end in the 24th over when he was run out on 82. Later rest of the batters returned without troubling the scorers with much affection as India were bowled out for 234 runs in 39.2 overs with rain also paying a visit in between.</p>

<p>India’s only consolation on the day was Sachin Tendulkar’s Player of the Tournament performance for which he was awarded a golden bat by South African leader&nbsp;Nelson Mandela. Australia would win the contest by 125 runs and clinch their second consecutive World Cup while winning their third overall.</p>


It will be a shot at redemption for Team India on Sunday (Nov 19) when Rohit Sharma’s men take on Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

It will be a shot at redemption for Team India on Sunday (Nov 19) when Rohit Sharma’s men take on Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The contest will be a repeat of the 2003 ODI World Cup final when India faced the Aussies at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Since then, plenty of water has gone under the bridge as both teams have tasted success on multiple fronts with energetic leadership on offer. A shot at #CWC23 glory 💎🏆 pic.twitter.com/8Iy5I48dEp — ICC (@ICC) November 17, 2023 × What happened in the 2003 ODI World Cup final? Having lost by eight wickets in the league stage meeting, India skipper Sourav Ganguly opted to field first after having won the toss. India had lost by nine wickets in the league stage meeting, which had influenced Ganguly’s decision to bowl first in the final. However, Australia, then led by Ricky Ponting, had no issues taking the guards first with reliable Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden opening for them. Gilchrist and Hayden stitched a partnership of 105 runs for the opening wicket, with Gilchrist scoring 57 while Hayden would later get dismissed for 37. Both wickets fell in quick succession, scalped by Harbhajan Singh, but there was not much joy for the Indian team. Ponting scored an unbeaten 140 off 121 deliveries consisting of 8 sixes and 4 fours.

What happened last time India vs Australia contest took place in ODI World Cup Final? | Know More

<p>Australia beat South Africa by three wickets, in pursuit of 213, in the second semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup on Thursday (Nov 16) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. With this, the Pat Cummins-led Men in Yellow have secured a place in the final, where they will meet hosts India on Nov 19 (Sunday) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many former cricketers and experts of the game have labelled Rohit Sharma-led India the favourites to win the finals. India have been on a rampage, winning all their 10 games so far in the marquee event at home. However, Australia know how to bring their A-game in ICC finals (having won the ODI WC on five occasions, most by any) and have also revamped in style in the ongoing competition.</p>

<p>Losing their first two games, Australia bounced back in style with an eight-match winning streak to set up a final date with India. Thus, former West Indies pacer-turned-commentator Ian Bishop feels India are favourites but Aussies cannot be ruled out at any cost.</p>

<h2><strong>'I will say it one more time, Australia have a championship pedigree'</strong></h2>

<p>"Two teams, in India's case, they have been playing well on all games. Australia now looking to peak, this is a dream for fans of both nations, the neutrals and broadcasters like me. There will be so much entertainment, come Sunday," Ian Bishop told Star Sports.</p>

<p>"Two teams, one India with some batting form and all-round bowling form, that suggests they probably will go into this final as favourites, but an Australian team, I will say it one more time, they have a championship pedigree, you can't and will not, I dare you to count them out of the contest. It will be really competitive. Two best teams in the final, you think?" he added.</p>

<p>During the same interaction, former India opener and batting coach Sanjay Bangar also joined in and said, "It's going to be a cracker of a game. Two teams who have played dominant games. India have won 10 in a row. And Australia are not far behind. It's a terrific final. After 2003, I remember I was part of the squad when Australia beat India. It's going to be great game. Let's hope, this time around, Australia are able to put one across India."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both teams met once in the ongoing ten-team tournament, where India beat Australia by six wickets -- chasing 200 in Chennai -- on Oct 8. It will be interesting to see if the script remains the same this time around or Aussies manage to topple India.</p>

ODI World Cup 2023 final: India favourites but I dare you to count Australia out, says Ian Bishop

<p>Australia edged past South Africa in the second semi-final of the ODI World Cup, on Thursday (Nov 16) in Kolkata, to book a place in the final where they will meet India on Sunday (Nov 19) in Ahmedabad. Asked to bowl first, Pat Cummins-led Men in Yellow rode on Mitchell Starc's 3 for 34, Cummins' 3 for 51 and two wickets each from Josh Hazlewood and Travis Head to dismiss Proteas for 212 in 49.4 overs.</p>

<p>In reply, Australia started off aggressively courtesy of Head's attacking 48-ball 62 but were soon reduced to 137 for 5, after being 60 for no loss, but somehow managed to get past the finish line by three wickets in 47.2&nbsp;overs. Thus, it will be a repeat of the 2003 final as hosts India will face Australia in the mega finale on Sunday in Ahmedabad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prior to the clash, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir made a big statement. He feels Australia are 'very vulnerable' ahead of the India clash as they struggled to chase down 213 versus the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</p>

<p>Gambhir said on Star Sports after Australia's semi-final win, "Don't think Australia brought their A-game in the semi-final.

Shots fired! Australia are vulnerable ahead of India clash, feels Gautam Gambhir prior to CWC '23 final

<p>India all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be missing the five-T20I series against Australia set to be played after the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 with injury. Pandya sustained an ankle injury during India's league stage match against Bangladesh on October 19 and was subsequently ruled out of the tournament after failing to recover in time. The developments were first reported by ESPNCricinfo.</p>

<p>Pandya was advised six to eight weeks of rest by the BCCI medical staff after twisting his ankle in the match against Bangladesh. Initially, Pandya was expected to get fit for India's last league match against Netherlands on November 12 but failing to do so saw him being replaced with Prasidh Krishna in the India squad.&nbsp;</p>

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya out of T20Is vs Australia after ankle injury - Report

<p>Matthew Wade will be captaining the Australian side in five T20Is against India after the ODI World Cup 2023. The wicketkeeper-batter who isn't part of Australia's squad for the ongoing quadrennial event, will be in charge of the side on an interim basis. Australia will be playing five T20Is starting November 23 in India after the ODI World Cup concludes on November 19.</p>

<p>Australia currently do not have a permanent T20I skipper since Aaron Finch retired in February earlier this year. They had appointed Mitch Marsh as skipper in their last series before the ODI World Cup. Speaking on his appointment as skipper, Australia chief selector George Bailey said that Wade is leader in the group and it is an opportunity to further deepen Australia's captaining options.</p>

<p>The series will begin on November 23 in Vishakhapatnam before moving further south to Thiruvananthapuram for the second T20I on November 26.
