While heading into the WC Finals against Australia, 3 Factors That Give India the Edge over Australia
The Indian cricket team is going to 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 will start at 2:00 p.m. IST. High-flying Team India came into the final with a 70-run win over New Zealand on Wednesday. The victory helped India extend its unbeaten run at the ODI World Cup to 10 games. The winning streak of Team India is a result of a strong batting line-up that has taken the attack to the opposition.
The bowling unit has proven equally formidable, dismantling opposing teams with ease. Indian pacers and spinners have utilised the playing conditions well, contributing to India's resounding victories.
In the build-up to the final showdown between India and Australia, there are three key factors that give the Rohit Sharma-led side an advantage over the Aussies in their quest for their third World Cup crown.
- Strong batting line-up
The dominance of the Men in Blue in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup can be attributed to their strong performances with the bat. The opening duo of Rohit Sharma (550 runs) and Shubman Gill (350 runs) have consistently provided India with solid starts.
- Balanced bowling attack
As the famous saying goes, 'Batters win you games, bowlers win you tournaments', teams that have gone on to win the World Cups in the past boasted formidable and well-rounded bowling attacks.
- Multiple match-winners
Indian cricket has come a long way and has witnessed a major evolution. From relying solely on the great Sachin Tendulkar, it has now evolved into a team of match-winners. Throughout the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, India has witnessed the emergence of several match-winners in the course of their 10-match unbeaten run.
