Cricket World Cup 2023 final | India vs Australia Playing 11 LIVE updates: PITCH REPORT

Pitch report from Ravi Shastri for broadcasters

"Pitch number five. Same wicket that was used for India vs Pakistan. It's different from that one because it's been left open for quite a long time. It looks very dry, not much rolling. Looks patchy especially in the areas where spinners will land the ball. I expect it to turn a bit. Dew is uncontrollable. If there's no dew, you could be in trouble. Batting first, getting runs on the board is premium. But India won't be too bothered either way."

Cricket World Cup 2023 final | India vs Australia Playing 11 LIVE updates: Players' battle

India and Australia -- the two best teams of the 2023 ODI World Cup -- have duly made their way to the final, promising a series of fascinating individual battles between the fierce rivals.

India, the only unbeaten side in the tournament, have hardly put a foot wrong while Australia have never looked back after recovering from back-to-back losses in the beginning of the competition.

As a unit, India have performed better than Australia and are favourites to lift the coveted trophy at home after 12 long years.

On the other hand, Australia are not used to coming second when a global trophy is at stake and five titles in seven final appearances are a testament to their envious record.

The final promises to be a rivetting contest and PTI looks at match-ups that could potentially decide the winner.

Cricket World Cup 2023 final LIVE updates: Rahul-Rohit combo could be remembered as greatest

Here's what Sanjay Banger said about the Rahul-Rohit combo

"It’s a huge moment for Rahul Dravid, we usually speak on football history where we discuss captains and players who won the world cup medal as a player and coach, Rahul has that opportunity, whereas in 2003 he got a silver medal."

"He has put a lot of effort, planning and preparation with the Indian team. Not just only with Indian men’s team, Rahul’s work is well appreciated for his involvement and contribution at NCA and under 19 team set up. Overall it will be a big day for Rahul Dravid as a coach as well."

"Because when we speak on coaches from earlier times it used be managers. When we speak on 1983 ICC Cricket World Cup PR Man Singh saab name is always been discussed and for 2011 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, we equally speaks on Gary Kirsten for his role and contribution for the team in the same breadth and importance as MS Dhoni gets. And if Indian team wins the world cup tomorrow then Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid will be remembered for a long time for their roles and contribution they made for winning the cup."

Cricket World Cup 2023 final LIVE updates: Ahmedabad pitch in controversy as Aussies raise concern

The centre of the ground is the centre of attraction for the last two matches of the India cricket team as the Aussies have now raised concerns about the wicket to be used for the ICC Cricket World Cup final between the hosts India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. 
 

The issue involved is that the wicket has not been watered extensively and quoting an Australian support staff, Cricbuzz.com reported, “The verdict was that these patches on both sides of the pitch had not been watered, or not to the same extent, anyway as the centre of the wicket,” 

“Leaving the Aussie camp quite convinced that the spinners would come into play a lot more than they have on several pitches seen during the tournament, and from early in the piece too,” the member of the Aussie unite added further. 
 

The pitch issue was also raised during the semi-final between India and New Zealand, however, it died down soon as a perfect batting wicket was rolled out at Wankhede. Over there the concern was related to switching of the wickets from number 6 to another. 
 

For the final, the pitch used is the same as the one on which India played Pakistan in a league game. That wicket was slow and so would be this one as red by both the skippers- Australia’s Pat Cummins and India’s Rohit Sharma.

Cricket World Cup 2023 final | India vs Australia Playing 11 LIVE updates: How Rohit should tackle Hazlewood?

Ahead of India's World Cup final against Australia, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan suggested that skipper Rohit Sharma should take a measured approach against pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.

 

India will lock horns against Australia in a repeat of the 2003 Cricket World Cup final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. The Men in Blue will be hoping to lift their third World Cup title and avenge the loss to the Aussies by 125 runs in 2003.

 

"The preparation has been nice since we have won all our matches. It seems that the match will be easy but it would not be the case as I know the Australian team well and have played with them. They are energetic and dangerous. They have that never-die spirit. They have six to eight players from the 2015 and 2019 World Cups so they have experience of big matches. They are not as pressurised as our team since they take sport as a sport. But here, cricket is a matter of life and death. Our players know it and soak the pressure. That is why Virat Kohli and Rohit are legends. Every team had a bad day in this WC. Hope this never comes for us," Atul told ANI.

 

"Rohit has been over-attacking in his approach. But I fear that Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will do well against him so he should take a measured approach," he added.

 

Asked if India has an edge over Australia due to the results of the bilateral series this year, Atul said that these matches are a thing of the past.

 

"Australia lost two matches but they got momentum at the right time. We have been maintaining a peak for so long on the other hand," he added.

With Australia having two left handers at the top, India might play Ashwin today instead of Mohammed Siraj. Ashwin too have a physiological advantage over Steve Smith. But having said that, how wise it would be to seperate the pace trio, it remains to be seen.

Cricket World Cup 2023 final | India vs Australia LIVE updates: Team India SWOT analysis

Rohit Sharma-led India have never let the intensity drop one bit in their entire ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, and in the final hurdle, they would want no change. However, every team develops certain weaknesses on the way to the top, along with many strengths. This team, arguably the best Indian unit ever in any World Cup, is no different in that regard.
 

Strengths

The Indian team is the most in-form and dominant team the World Cup has seen. With 96 wickets in 10 matches, they know how to get the opposition all out. But at the same time, they have three batters (Virat Kohli- 711, Rohit7 Sharma- 550 and Shreyas Iyer- 526) who have scored in access of 500 runs in this tournament so far, giving full credence to the batting prowess of the Men in Blue.

Cricket World Cup 2023 final | India vs Australia LIVE updates: This one for Rahul bhai

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 here.

 

"Obviously, what he has done for Indian cricket is massive. He also feels that he wants to be part of this big occasion. It's for us to do it for him," he added.

 

Rohit believes that despite being the proverbial chalk and cheese in terms of cricketing philosophies, Dravid did buy into former's ideas and strategies, which in turn allowed him the freedom to operate.

 

"His role has been absolutely massive in terms of getting that clarity, which I keep talking about. There's one thing for me to think about and the other thing for coach to not agree to certain things.

 

"Clearly, looking at how Rahul bhai himself has played his cricket and how I am playing these days, obviously it's quite contrasting.

 

"For him to agree and give me that freedom and liberty to go and play the way we want to play, that says a lot about him," said an effusive Rohit.

But the final on Sunday will be completely different. It won't just be a mere cricket tournament that needs to be won but also caring about the emotions of all those invested in the game.
