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.

<h2>India eye third World Cup title</h2>

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;

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;

Outside of Ravindra Jadeja, a vital cog in the wheel for the hosts, the bowling unit has taken the World Cup by storm.&nbsp;

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&nbsp;one evening away from ultimate glory.

<h3>Can Australia cause the greatest upset ever? You bet!</h3>

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;

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;

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.

<h4>Result Prediction:</h4>

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;

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 2023 final - Match preview and result prediction

The BCCI has invited Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to watch the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday (Nov 16), per the latest reports. Although no official confirmation around this is out yet, if Anthony accepts the invitation, he will join his counterpart, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in watching the clash of the titans at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium.

On Thursday, the Australian Team beat South Africa by three wickets in one of the most closely fought contests at the CWC stage at the Eden Gardens. A day before, on Wednesday, hosts India beat New Zealand by 70 runs in Mumbai to enter their fourth World Cup final.

While India’s record in the final is 2-1, having won twice before in 1983 and 2011, Australia entered their record eighth CWC final, leading 5-2. The Aussies are the most successful team in the tournament history, having won in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015.

Besides this, an air show will open the final at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, with several A-Listers to also grace their presence in the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final.

<h2>Australia beat South Africa in second semi-final</h2>

At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Australia came on top in the second semi-final, beating the Proteas by three wickets in a nail-biter. While David Miller starred for South Africa, hitting his maiden CWC semis hundred, Travis Head hogged the limelight with his all-round show. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc were among the wickets too.

David Warner and Steve Smith contributed with handy 20s and 30s, but it was Josh Inglis, alongside the tail, helping Australia stand tall in the end.

<h3>Not stopping Indian Team</h3>

Be it on the runs chart or the wickets, the Indian players are winning everywhere. While Virat Kohli leads the run-scoring list with over 700 runs in 10 matches (most by any batter in history), Mohammed Shami, with his unparalleled performance, stays ahead of everyone in the bowling department.

Outside of the top three, which will hold the keys in the final against Australia, the middle order coming to the party has benefited India in this tournament.
