Twenty years later, India (IND) will once again face Australia (AUS) in the final of the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023. The Indian team registered a spectacular victory over New Zealand in the semi-finals at the Wankhede Stadium and made it to the finals. The team led by Pat Cummins performed brilliantly with the new ball and made it to the final by defeating South Africa in the second semi-final at the prestigious Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The match between India vs Australia will be played on Sunday, November 19 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. There will be a great showdown between these two teams. Five-time champions Australia had earlier lost to India in the group stage but Ahmedabad will provide a different surface, which is likely to favor the batsmen. Thus a 300+ run game is expected on a big night.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium often offers a flat wicket which is favorable for the batsmen. However, ICC has not yet confirmed whether the match will be played on red or black soil. However, given the importance of the match, the batsmen are expected to get support and with that being said, a competitive game is expected as both the teams have dynamic batsmen.

Batting first, 300+ runs can be scored on this ground.
