ODI WC 2023 Final: India vs Australia | D3 Guide
Pitch Report (Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad)
A good pitch for batting will await the batters from both teams and there will be something for the bowlers too. The spinners will get some purchase during the first innings and the new ball is expected to move quite a bit for the pacers under the lights. Dew can be a factor in the later half of the second innings but teams will prefer batting first if they win the toss. The average first innings score here is 251 runs and chasing sides have won 3 out of the 4 games played at this venue.
Dependable Trio for D3
Virender Sehwag (OG- Batter 1) (India): Rohit will be Batter 1 for India. He has been very aggressive in the first 10 overs and can take the game away from the opposition in that phase. He has 550 runs in 10 games at an average of 55. Rohit can score big in this game if he bats for 18–20 overs.
David Warner (Australia): David Warner has been the best batter for his team in ODI WC 2023. He has 528 runs in 10 innings at an average of 52.80 with 2 fifties and 2 centuries to his name. Warner is one of the best openers in world cricket and can score big in this all-important game.
Anil Kumble (OG- Bowler 4) (India) (Captain): One of Kuldeep or Jadeja will be Bowler 4 for India. Both have been in excellent form until now and will be the key bowlers for India in the middle overs. Jadeja has 16 wickets in 10 games while Kuldeep has 15 to his name in the same number of matches. Jadeja picked up 3 wickets against Australia in the first game while Kuldeep picked up 2 wickets. Anil Kumble’s OG Card will be our captain pick for this match.
