The monumental finale of the ODI World Cup 2023 is set to unfold at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19th, Sunday, featuring an undefeated India (IND) against Australia (AUS). India, the only team with an unbeaten tag, secured victory in all ten games. Australia, despite a slow start with two initial losses, rebounded with eight successive wins, eliminating South Africa in the semi-final, who continued their knockout jinx.
India commenced the mega-event with a win against Australia in Chennai, maintaining an impressive winning streak. Their dominant performances, including a convincing victory over New Zealand in the Mumbai semi-final, secured their spot in the final, with notable contributions from Mohammed Shami at the Wankhede Stadium.
Australia on the other hand had a lackluster start and even underwent a remarkable turnaround, winning seven consecutive league games and triumphing in the semi-final against South Africa on Thursday. Despite efforts, Temba Bavuma-led South Africa couldn't shed their 'chokers' tag as Australia claimed a nail-biting victory.

IND vs AUS: Pitch Report
The pitch surface at Narendra Modi Stadium has proven favourable for both batsmen and bowlers. Batters often find it delightful, but it has also facilitated focused bowling. The pitch has particularly benefited spinners during the middle overs and bowlers using a fresh ball. Expect a consistent tempo and decent bounce, making the opening ten overs crucial.
