History awaits the success of Team India

Team India has won the ODI World Cup twice in their glorious history, and the World Cup final of 2023 comes as the opportunity to take the number to 3. As for Australia, it is their 8th ODI World Cup final. They are the 5-time champions and are contesting for the 6th title.

Provided the head-to-head record in the ICC ODI World Cup, it is a huge task for Rohit Sharma and co. the Aussies. The momentum might be in India's favour as the Team outclassed the Men in Yellow at the league stage. However, the final comes as a different game of nerves altogether.

With India batting first, the onus is on the batters to put a significant total on the board, one beyond the reach of the Aussies.
