Team India has demonstrated invincibility throughout the tournament, remaining unshaken by any opponent. In this concluding battle, Team India aims to rectify a 20-year-old grievance by emerging victorious against Australia. The 2003 ODI World Cup also witnessed a final clash between India and Australia, but under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly, Team India narrowly missed claiming the championship.

Pitch Report Of Narendra Modi Stadium For India Vs Australia World Cup 2023 Final

The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 has seen four matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The tournament kicked off with a high-scoring match between England and New Zealand, featuring numerous boundaries. However, the subsequent three matches witnessed lower scores due to a spin-friendly pitch. It is anticipated that Team India will prepare a pitch favoring spin against Australia in the final, providing them with a strategic advantage. With spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, along with a robust batting lineup against spinners, India holds a formidable position.

Contrastingly, Australia has struggled against spin, as evidenced in the semi-finals against South Africa. Batsmen like Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne found it challenging to counter the spinning deliveries. Consequently, the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in the final may prove advantageous for spin bowlers.

Additionally, fast bowlers may find opportunities to swing the new ball in the air during the first innings. The team winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first, as the second innings pitch tends to favor batsmen. The average score at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad stands at 260 runs, promising an exhilarating final.

India has played 19 matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium, securing victory in 11 and facing defeat in 8. Meanwhile, Australia has participated in 6 matches, winning 4 and losing 2. This sets the stage for a highly anticipated competition between India and Australia.
