So, don’t miss out on watching this astounding show that is going to treat your eyes with more captivating moments.
It was not an easy journey for both Indian and Australian teams to make it this far up to the finals. The Indian club stands first in the ICC standings, where they have been really excellent throughout this journey. They have left strong marks in each matchup of this 2023 ICC World Cup, where they have never lost even a single matchup in this ICC to date. Previously, India has won the ICC World Cup twice, which came in 1983 and in 2011. It has been a long time since these grudging lions made the ICC Championships. In light of this, the Indian squad will be getting ready with even more spirit, and they are highly expected to put forth a stunning performance on the home soil. Hope, the Indian squad-led Rohit Sharma will never disappoint its crowd in the ICC 2023 World Cup Finals.
The most Dominant Challenger of the ICC World Cup, the Australian team heads into this 2023 finals with the pride of holding the most victories in ICC World Cup history. They have held the ICC World Cup titles five times, which came in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015. So, literally, a failure in this final is not going to let the Aussies down in any situation, but they are not in the mindset of thinking about failure. It sounded quite fascinating when Australian captain Pat Cummins recently stated that the team is eager to play India. Hence, this ICC Finals is going to be the most compelling show of this weekend. Free up your schedule and get ready to witness these electrifying teams battling to prove their prowess to the world.

Weather Predict for India vs Australia Matchup
Is there anyone who wouldn’t relish the cool and breezy drizzle of rain showers on a weekend? Definitely not. But a sunny day is preferable for this weekend, where a scorching sunny day is also fine since it is the World Cup Finals. Therefore, all eyes are eagerly awaiting the weather forecast for Sunday in Ahmedabad. Fortunately, the sun is predicted to shine brightly in Ahmedabad on Saturday, with temperatures climbing up to 31°C. Naturally, Sunday, being the matchday, is anticipated to follow the same weather pattern.
Pitch Report for the Ahmedabad Stadium
The Narendra Modi Stadium has hosted about 30 ODIs, where the stats distribute equally 15 victories each for the first and second batting teams. This stadium strikes a good balance between the bat and the ball. So probably, the toss-winning side will likely prompt the captain to go for batting first. The Spinners are dealt with few advantages in this stadium and a decent score is predicted from this venue.
Predictions
India vs Australia
The most awaited matchup of the year among cricket lovers has almost arrived, and this clash is going to be enthralling up until the very end. It was 20 years back i.e., in 2003, these two teams met in the WC finals, where the Aussies took the title under the captainship of Ricky Ponting. So, the Indian team has waited for a long 20 years long to avenge the Aussies. Let’s see who will turn this 2023 finals into history in the World Cricket.
The Australian team has won the most ICC World Cup Championships and has made seven World Cup appearances. This proves that the Aussies are no less in danger when it comes to the field. The Australian side made it to the finals by winning over South Africans in the semifinal matchups. The Aussies led by Pat Cummins, hold a stunning squad, and the team is highly expected to exhibit solid performance in the finals against the host team. From opener David Warner to Spin bowler Maxwell, each player delivered their fullest potential throughout the season. So, there is no doubt that these Villans will make the utmost effort to take the pride once more in the history.
The Indian team, on the other hand, heads into the finals after showing an excellent victory over the New Zealand team in the semifinals. It has been a decade since the Indian cricket team tasted the victory in ICC World Cup. In light of this, the Indian squad made a massive attempt from the start of the 2023 ICC World Cup, where they never lost even a single matchup to date. The Rohit Sharma-leading Indian Squad is doing well, where the team is currently overpowering with talents like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, Bumrah, and all-time favorite Jadeja. From most experienced to young talent, each player displays versatile performance. Therefore, the Indian team is expected to carry out the same trend in the final matchup against the Aussies. Thus, the Indian squad stands a strong chance of winning the ICC 2023 World Cup Finals on their home soil after a very long time.
