World Cup 2023 Final: Who Will Lift the Trophy? 

The dawn of excitement of the World Cup 2023 final has set upon cricket fans all over the world who will be tuning into the ultimate showdown of ODI cricket. Bharat and Australia will face each other in a spectacularly grand contest in the biggest stadium in the world – Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both the teams have overcome all the hurdles so far in this tournament with absolute grit and determination to reach the finals, but the final hurdle will be perhaps the most difficult one to get through.

Team Bharat has been at its comprehensive best as all the players in the playing XI have been in excellent form and have performed at some or the other stage in this tournament. The tremendous depth in its batting order is visible in the supreme form of Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma, as well as in the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Shubhman Gill. But the brilliance of Bharat’s bowling attack is perhaps the primary factor that carried the team to the World Cup 2023 final.

The nation is heaping praises on ace pacer Mohammad Shami today, but we must also remember the key contributions of all the other bowlers – Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. If the men in blue keep up their excellent teamwork and impeccable performances in batting, bowling, and fielding, it would be a nearly impossible task to stop them in this World Cup 2023 final.

However, anyone who watches cricket will know what the men in yellow are capable of as well. They not only have the highest number of World Cup wins (5 titles) but have also made it into the finals for a total of eight times. They have strongly risen in this tournament by performing under pressure. They have the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and the seasoned Steve Smith. To add to this, the unforgettable knock of Glen Maxwell against Afghanistan shows the determination with which they have reached the World Cup 2023 final.

Their bowlers have gained strong momentum as well. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood were excellent in their semi-final against South Africa. Their pacers can perform well in any given conditions under the leadership of skipper Pat Cummins, who also bats dependably in the lower order. Similarly, spinner Adam Zampa can create pressure on any batsman while also contributing with the bat. A team like Australia can never be underestimated, especially in this World Cup 2023 final.

All eyes are on Bharat and Australia as they compete for glory in tomorrow’s World Cup 2023 final, which begins at 2 pm in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
