“It Will Be Tough To Stop India!” This is the prediction of former Indian Captain and former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. India will play the ICC Men Cricket World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday against Australia. History of 2003 world cup final still remembered by Indian fans, where India lost the final to Australia. Then Sourav Ganguly was the captain of Team India. Now after 20 years again India and Australia will face each other in the World Cup final.
After the thrilling semifinal match between Australia and South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata former Indian Captain said, “India is looking smashing at the moment. I wish them all the best for Ahmedabad. India have played very well in the tournament, and just one match and Australia stand between them and the World Cup trophy. If India continue to play like how they have performed in the tournament so far, then it will be tough to stop them. It will be a good match as Australia has a good team as well.”
India reached World Cup final beating New Zealand by 70 runs in the semifinal. It was a 10th win in a row for them. Mohammed Shami picked 7 wickets. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer got their centuries. Australia beat South Africa by 3 wickets in the second semi-final to reach the final. Australia didn’t look at their best chasing a mediocre target of 213 runs. They lost 7 wickets in the process of the run-chase against the proteas. But as the most successful team ever in the World Cup history, Australia will play their eighth World cup final for their sixth WC title.
