India stands just one victory away from clinching the 2023 ODI World Cup after an impressive unbeaten journey to the title clash. The two-time champions are set to face the five-time champions Australia at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday in the much-anticipated final. Throughout the competition, India has displayed dominance, with numerous individual records being shattered as each player has showcased their top-level performance. In the semi-final against New Zealand, Virat Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most ODI centuries, and Mohammed Shami etched his name as the first Indian bowler to achieve a seven-wicket haul in ODI history.

As India heads into the final against Australia, a team they defeated at the start of their campaign last month, they aim to maintain their winning momentum. On the contrary, Australia had a forgettable beginning to their campaign, losing their first two league games to India and South Africa. However, the Pat Cummins-led side made a remarkable comeback in subsequent matches, securing an eight-match winning streak after defeating South Africa in the semi-final. To emerge victorious in the final, Australia will need to deliver another exceptional performance to contain the high-flying Indian team.
Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, the venue for the ODI World Cup 2023 Final, is known for batters enjoying high-scoring games. The highest team total there is 365/2 by South Africa. In 32 ODIs at the stadium, the team batting first has won 17 times, and the team batting second has won 15 matches. With a tendency for batters to dominate, the ODI World Cup final is expected to favour them. If the pitch is spin-friendly, India could have an advantage.
