Preview
In the grand finale of the ODI World Cup 2023, India will be going head-to-head against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After defeating the Aussies by six wickets in their CWC 2023 opener, the Men in Blue have gone on to win 10 matches on the spin. Even when Australia have won eight matches in a row during the ODI World Cup 2023, India is looking a far more settled team on paper before heading into the final on November 19.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad during the ODI World Cup 2023 have allowed great competition between the bat and ball. The average first-inning score at this venue is 243 in ODI cricket, which is something both the Indian and Australian batting lineups will be fancying themselves to go post in their bid to give their bowlers a competitive total on the night of the final.
Team Analysis
India
The captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have provided incredible starts at the top of the order, allowing the likes of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul to score big runs consistently for India in the ODI World Cup 2023. The bowling attack for the Men in Blue has been strengthened by the inclusion of Mohammed Shami in the playing XI after the first few matches, while Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been as miserly as ever.

Australia
The top order of David Warner, Travis Head, and Mitchell Marsh has been the key for Australia in setting up an initial platform in their batting innings for the rest of the batters to put up competitive totals on board in the ODI World Cup 2023. Adam Zampa has been the top wicket taker for the Aussies in the flagship tournament, allowing the fast bowlers to work around him to form a successful bowling unit.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
In front of their home fans, India will have a slight edge over Australia in their bid to lift the ODI World Cup trophy for the third time in cricketing history. But the Aussies have already been five-time world champions, who will make the final anything but easier for the Men in Blue on November 19.
