Cricket fever is at an all-time high as the cricketing world gears up for the ultimate showdown between two powerhouses of the game- India and Australia. On November 19, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India, will transform into a gladiatorial arena as these two cricketing giants clash in the Cricket World Cup 2023 final.
India, led by the astute Rohit Sharma, has been on a juggernaut throughout the tournament, leaving a trail of defeated opponents in their wake. Their batting lineup is a potent concoction of veterans and exciting young talents, while their bowling attack has been a formidable force to be reckoned with, relentlessly dismantling opposing batting lineups. Australia, though facing some hurdles along the way, has displayed remarkable resilience and fighting spirit. Their star-studded lineup, boasting the likes of Steve Smith, David Warner, and Pat Cummins, possesses the firepower to turn the tide of the match in the blink of an eye.
This final promises to be an epic spectacle, with both teams bringing their unique strengths and vulnerabilities to the table. India's familiarity with home conditions and their impeccable form throughout the tournament will undoubtedly provide them with an advantage, while Australia's experience and big-match composure cannot be underestimated.
What happens if the game is washed out?
in case of inclement weather, there is a reserve day in place on Monday, November 20. The best efforts will be made to ensure that the game is completed on Sunday, November 19, even if that means that overs have to be reduced. However, if no play is possible on either Sunday or Monday, India will be declared the winner based on their top finish in the pool stage.
However, weather should not be a problem as the weather is likely to hold well for the entirety of the game. Plenty of sunshine is on the cards and the chances of rain are nil. Fans will hope that there is no last-minute change as they will want a full game.
