It's almost time for the 2023 Cricket World Cup final! Starting in October, India hosted the 13th edition of the event at 10 venues throughout the country. New Zealand, England, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Netherlands, South Africa and Sri Lanka competed in previous rounds. After more than 40 matches, India and Australia advanced to the final.
Nothing is inevitable in sport, and in that lies its appeal. The tension, the knots in the tummy, the anticipation, the hope and the foreboding, and the final euphoria or heartbreak, all come from deep longing for an outcome but not knowing if it will come to pass. There can be no spoilers in sport; no match is over until it's over.

As sports presenter Mayanti Langer appeared on television for the semi-final clash between India and New Zealand, several trolled her for her attire. Some even decided to surface edited pictures of her and India great Sunil Gavaskar on the internet, leaving many fuming. Ahead of the World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia, Mayanti took to X (formerly Twitter) as she slammed trolls for their 'genuine concern', taking a sarcastic dig as she said "can afford a suit for the final".
Team India will take on Australia in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Sunday, November 19. The match begins at 2:00 PM IST. High-flying Team India stormed into the final with a 70-run win over New Zealand on Wednesday. The win helped Rohit Sharma's side extend its unbeaten run at the ODI World Cup to 10 games. India's winning streak is a result of a strong batting line-up that has taken the attack to the opposition.
Ahead of the Final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, Narendra Singh a dhaba owner in Ahmedabad said that he will serve free 'curry chawal' if the 'Men in Blue' win the extravagant tournament. Speaking to ANI, Narendra said that he has been following the Cricket World Cup since 1983 when former Indian skipper Kapil Dev got hold of the prestigious trophy for the first time.
Rahul Dravid stood like a rock behind the players after the T20 World Cup semifinal thrashing at the hands of England last year, and Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Saturday longed to win the 50-over version now as a fitting tribute to the head coach for his "massive contribution" to the country's cricketing landscape. Sunday could well be Dravid's last day in his office and there won't be a better farewell gift to one of the legends of Indian cricket, who missed that elusive silverware as a player. "The way he stood by the players in difficult times during the T20 World Cup, we had a good run until that semifinal and we lost and how he reacted to certain situations and informing the players about this is what we are looking at and all of that says a lot about him," remarked Rohit on the eve of India's title clash against Australia.
Unbeaten India are set to take on Australia in the Cricket World Cup 2023 final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Indian cricket team is on a 10-game winning streak, which includes a clean sweep in the nine league phase matches alongside their 70-run win against New Zealand in the semi-final. Many experts and fans think that Australia -- the opponent of Rohit Sharma and Co in the summit clash - have their task cut out and similar is the opinion of former India opener Virender Sehwag.
