On the other side, the Australians have picked themselves up after losing the first two matches of the CWC 2023 against India and South Africa, to win eight matches in a row in their quest to the sixth world title in 50 overs cricket at the expense of the hosts in the upcoming final.
In this feature article, SportsTiger looks at the few reasons why India versus Australia final in the ODI World Cup 2023 could become the most viewed game ever in cricket history.
The anticipation of India winning the ODI World Cup for the third time in cricket history
In its illustrious cricket history, Team India has won the ODI World Cup twice after competing in three finals of the flagship tournament, since its inception in 1975. Under the leadership of Kapil Dev, the Indian cricket team laid their hands on the coveted trophy for the first time in 1975 before MS Dhoni brought home the world title as captain for the second time in 2011.
Since then, India hasn’t tasted much success in the ICC events, creating anticipation among the fans in regard to seeing the team win the ODI World Cup 2023, which could make the India versus Australia final the most viewed game ever.
