The much-anticipated India vs Australia ICC World Cup 2023 finale has kicked off at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, with Pat Cummins winning the toss and choosing to bowl.
Both teams, led by Rohit Sharma for India and Pat Cummins for Australia, remain unchanged. Sharma’s unbeaten Indian squad, victorious in all 9 league stage matches and overcoming New Zealand in the semis, faces a formidable Australian side that secured a spot in the final with a 3-wicket win over South Africa.
Cummins, citing the impact of dew on the night conditions at the venue, explained, ‘Looks like a bit of a dry wicket so we wanted to bowl first. Dew is one factor as it’s quite dewy in the night at this venue.’
In response, Sharma, committed to an unchanged XI, expressed, ‘I would’ve batted first. It’s a big game, so we’ll get runs on the board. It’s going to be amazing. The biggest occasion, in terms of cricketing events,’ setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
