The much-anticipated clash will commence at 2:00 PM IST. Talking about their road to the final in the 2023 edition, the two teams have lived up to their favourites tag with a string of dominant performances along the way.

The popularity of ODI cricket has somewhat dwindled in the recent past with rumours surfacing about the next edition of Champions Trophy 2025 possibly becoming a T20 competition in order to attract more spectators. Even the next Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) President Mark Nicholas floated an idea that ODI cricket can be restricted to just the World Cups in the near future. Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri was asked about the format and he believes that major changes are needed.
The ongoing ODI World Cup will be surely be remembered for the extraordinary innings played by Glenn Maxwell against Afghanistan. The Australia all-rounder brought up his maiden double ton and helped his side chase down the target of 292. Australia were 91/7 but Maxwell's historical knock pulled them out from the jaws of defeat and guided them into the semi-finals. In a recent interview, the 35-year-old all-rounder stated the during his knock, his only strategy was to play with the mentality of the "subcontinent team".
Legendary Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist praised the Indian cricket team fast bowlers for their devastating form in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and said that it will be better for teams to face them in daylight. Under the floodlights, the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami have enjoyed a brilliant run of form and Gilchrist believes that the key to beating India can be to bat first against them. In a recent interaction, the former wicket-keeper batter pointed out that he rates India highly as a chasing side but batting during the daytime may help a bit in negating their dangerous pace threat.
MUMBAI : Overcoming an attack of full body cramping, Glenn Maxwell's outrageous double-century to beat Afghanistan at the World Cup was quickly hailed as the greatest ODI innings of all-time by cricketing luminaries.
The Australian team that was led by Ricky Ponting dominated world cricket for nearly a decade. Ponting, who took reigns as captain of the team from the legendary Steve Waugh, led his country to multiple World Cup titles among other accolades. Apart from their aggressive brand of cricket, Australia, under Ponting, were often deemed arrogant on and off the field. One such instance was in 2006 when former Australia batter Damien Martyn pushed the then BCCI President Sharad Pawar off the stage after the team was presented with the Champions Trophy in Mumbai.
