India vs Australia: Date, Time, Venue, Live Streaming And More About ICC World Cup 2023 Final

The much-awaited final of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 between India and Australia will take place on Sunday. This will be the fourth time that India will play a ODI WC final while it will be Australia's eighth final appearance.

In the first semi-final, India defeated New Zealand by 70 runs at the Wankede Stadium in Mumbai to qualify for the final. Australia defeated South Africa by three wickets in the second semi-final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Both teams had crossed swords in their opening fixture of the tournament in what turned out to be a one-sided affair with India winning by six wickets after bowling them out for a paltry 199 in Chennai.

With pacer Mohammed Shami in menacing form, India holds the edge in the bowling department against Australia, reckons batting great Gundappa Viswanath, who wants skipper Rohit Sharma to convert his aggressive starts to a big hundred in the World Cup final.

With one hundred and three fifties, Rohit has amassed 550 runs but he has often got out in the 40s after an aggressive start.

"The way Rohit has been giving aggressive starts in the powerplay even though he is not getting big scores like 100 which he is capable of... the other batters are following that pattern," he told PTI.

"This is the final, so he (Rohit) should carry on. We all know what kind of batter he is, he's capable of scoring 150 if not more, that should be on his mind. Instead of giving a platform to other batters, once he gets in and comes closer to powerplay, he should continue, that will help the team and give more worry to the opponent," the 74-year-old, who was part of the Indian team during the 1975 and 1979 World Cups said.

"We want to take on the best," Mitchell Starc asserted after five-time champions Australia set up a mouth-watering World Cup summit showdown with tournament hosts India.

"They've been the best in the tournament so far and we both find ourselves in the finals. So that's what World Cups are about. It's why we play the game," he said after Australia defeated South Africa on Thursday.

"We certainly come up against a team that have obviously led from the front through the tournament and they're undefeated," he added.

The ODI World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia will be played on Sunday, November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match starts at 2 pm.
