What happens if the India vs Australia match ends in a draw? 

Australia and India will square off in the eagerly awaited Cricket World Cup 2023 final as they attempt to win the prestigious trophy. The five-time winners Australia are eager to steer clear of the mistakes they committed in the league stage against India. India wants to keep up its winning record in the competition and keep up the momentum heading into the pivotal final match.

Australia and India both advanced to the 2019 Cricket World Cup semi-finals, however they were unable to secure a spot in the final. Rather, England and New Zealand disputed the outcome, with England winning owing to a boundary count system that has since been abandoned.

Following a complete 100-over match, the boundary count rule—which was previously employed in the 2019 World Cup—will not be applied in the case of a tie in the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final. Rather, a Super Over will decide the outcome, and if it finishes in a tie as well, further Super Overs will be played until a winner is established.

Most remarkably, 120 minutes extra have been set aside for the final match, providing room for manoeuvre if unanticipated events cause the game to run longer than planned. Additionally, a reserve day has been set aside, mostly in case weather prevents Sunday's 20-over-per-side competition from going on. Forecasts at this time, however, indicate that such a situation is improbable.
