WTC Final: We are left with just two weeks for one of the most-awaited matches of the year, the World Test Championship Final 2023. After two months of Indian Premier League (IPL) action, Indian players will travel to England for the 2023 ICC WTC Finals clash against Australia.



India and Australia will be playing in a Test match at a neutral venue for the very first time in the history of Test Cricket. India and Australia have met 106 times in Test Matches in the past. Australia have won 44 times, compared to India's 32 victories. In contrast, Australia have won six times and India have won eight times in the last ten years.



Both teams have officially declared their squads for the 2023 WTC Final. India picked a 15-men squad, and these players will make up the final playing 11. Australia have chosen 17 players for the main event, but only 15 of them will go to England.



Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer are some top players missing from the team. India will definitely miss the services of Rishabh Pant most importantly as he provides strong stability and an attacking mindset in batting and world-class wicketkeeping for the team.

India have named their 15-member squad for the event and this post will cover India's Strongest Predicted Playing 11 for World Test Championship Final 2021-23.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team India Squad for WTC Final 2023</h2>



Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat Standby players: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, Mukesh Kumar.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India's Strongest Predicted Playing 11 for WTC Final</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Batting</h3>



1- Rohit Sharma



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Rohit-Sharma-Test-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91174" /></figure>



 In the batting department, the skipper will be expected to take charge and oppose a deadly Australian new-ball attack that includes veterans like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. When India last toured England in 2021?2022, Rohit had a successful trip, amassing 368 runs in 4 Test matches at an average of 52.57.



2- Shubman Gill



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Shubman-Gill-1-1.jpg" alt="Shubman Gill explains the clear-cut difference in approach of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-23430" /></figure>



 In recent times, Shubman Gill has been an exceptional find for India, especially in red-ball cricket. Gill sealed the opening berth in the WTC final with a brilliant century in the fourth test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy.



Although still in the early stages of his Test career, Gill has already demonstrated a great deal of potential by amassing 890 runs in 15 Tests, including two centuries. Though his current statistics in England show 57 runs in 2 Tests at 14.25, he will expect to improve upon them.



3- Cheteshwar Pujara



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Cheteshwar-Pujara-Test-1.jpg" alt="Cheteshwar Pujara to play for Sussex in County Championship 2022" class="wp-image-86736" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



India's batting lineup will be strengthened by Cheteshwar Pujara in the major matchup against the formidable Australians. His expertise and skills will be crucial if the team is to successfully lift the renowned WTC mace. He has played in 102 international Test matches over the course of more than 12 years, scoring 7154 runs in 174 innings, including 19 hundreds and 35 fifty-sixes.



4- Virat Kohli



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Virat-Kohli-test-century-1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli?s big hundred in the test will come soon says head coach Rahul Dravid" class="wp-image-82418" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Cricket Australia</figcaption></figure>



Virat Kohli is expected to put on another masterful performance against Australia in the WTC final, therefore this choice seemed a must for India. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli exploded back into form in Test cricket with a top-tier century during the Ahmedabad Test.



With 1979 runs in 24 Tests against Australia, including 8 tonnes, Kohli has an impressive record in Test cricket. In 16 games during the current World Test Championship cycle, Kohli has amassed 869 runs. His recent IPL form was on top of the tiers as well.



5- Ajinkya Rahane



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_7966.jpg" alt="Ajinkya Rahane" class="wp-image-108175" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ajinkya Rahane </figcaption></figure>



The selectors trusted veteran Ajinkya Rahane to stabilise the team's middle order as Shreyas Iyer won't be available for the WTC final encounter. After almost 16 months, the veteran competitor could return to the international circuit. He is doing a fantastic job for his team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in the current IPL. He led Mumbai in the 2022?23 Ranji Trophy and amassed 634 runs in 11 innings across seven games.



6- KS Bharat



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pjimage-2021-11-28t071600.261-1.jpg" alt="WTC Final: India's Strongest Predicted Playing 11 for World Test Championship Final 2021-23" class="wp-image-113777" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KS Bharat</figcaption></figure>



In absence of Rishabh Pant, KS Bharat should wear the wicketkeeping gloves. Ishan Kishan is another option available there but technically and as per game awareness, KS Bharat is a better option in test cricket. Bharat has so far amassed 101 runs in six innings in four games, with his best total coming against Australia in Ahmedabad at 44. Although the 29-year-old is undoubtedly newly introduced to the international circuit, his extensive first-class cricket experience will enable him to perform at his very best in the high-stakes game.



7- Ravindra Jadega



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Jadeja-1.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS WTC Final" class="wp-image-102650" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravindra Jadeja (BCCI) </figcaption></figure>



In Test cricket, Ravindra Jadeja has developed into one of the top all-rounders, and he will be an assured selection for the Indian XI. Jadeja, who has established himself as a prominent member of India's lineup, scored a Test century during India's most recent tour to England. He, being the only left-handed batter in India's top seven, will also be of extreme significance.



8- Ravi Ashwin



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/R-Ashwin-1.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS: Usman Khawaja reckons R Ashwin is a &quot;gun&quot; bowler and handling him in India vs Australia test series would be key" class="wp-image-102041" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



The magical Ravichandran Ashwin will be a definite choice of the captain and the team management. The WTC final will be played at the Ovals, so playing with two spinner might not sound well but Jadeja and Ashwin, both can be evenly contribute with bat as well. Ashwin has 5 test centuries and 13 half centuries with bat in hand while he becomes lethal with ball in his hand against the Aussies. In 22 Test matches against Australia, he has taken 114 wicket alone.



9- Mohammad Shami



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mohammed-Shami-1024x768.jpg" alt="India vs Australia: Mohd. Shami says he is Comfortable and in Right Zone post IPL" class="wp-image-21704" /></figure>



In Jasprit Bumrah's absence, Mohammad Shami will handle the new ball and lead the assault in the upcoming WTC Final. Shami is a seasoned member of the Indian team with a tonne of experience in England and has played in 13 Tests and taken 38 wickets. Shami has also performed admirably throughout this World Test Championship cycle, taking 41 wickets in 12 matches.



10- Umesh Yadav



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Umesh-Yadav-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="Ajinkya Rahane" class="wp-image-80864" /></figure>



Whenever there is a test match in England, put the name Umesh Yadav there and he will definitely deliver each and every time. Umesh Yadav will serve as the Indian pace attack's centrepiece in the grand WTC final. With his skill set, the speedster is capable of deceiving the Australian batsmen. In 56 Test matches over the course of his 12-year career, he has taken 168 wickets, including his 10/133 career high.



11- Mohammad Siraj



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Mohammad-Siraj-1.jpg" alt="India vs New Zealand: Mohammad Siraj looks more assured than before, growing in confidence: Zaheer Khan" class="wp-image-81450" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pic/AFP</figcaption></figure>



Since making his debut in Australia, Siraj has developed tremendously and has established himself as a key component of the current Indian pace attack. With five Test matches and 18 wickets in England, he has a respectable resume there. He may end up being the most efficient bowler in the Indian team at The Oval as of his propensity for pitching the ball up and swinging it late.

WTC Final: India's Strongest Predicted Playing 11 for World Test Championship Final 2021-23

wtc-final-indias-strongest-predicted-playing-11-for-world-test-championship-final-2021-23

IND vs AUS WTC Final: India and Australia are set to square off in the World Test Championship final clash on June 7 at the Oval in London. Ahead of the WTC final, in this post, we take a glance at some of the IND vs AUS key battles to look out for in the grand finale.



Australia took the top spot in the 2021?23 WTC points table with a 66.67 points percentage (PCT) while playing 19 matches, followed by India in second place with a 58.8 PCT in their 18 games. India is going to compete in its second consecutive final.



India defeated Australia 2-1 at home in a four-game Border-Gavaskar Trophy series earlier this year, securing their place to play Australia in the WTC final.



While Australia is ready to unleash its formidable bowling unit, which includes Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon, the Indian bowling attack, which is without the service of Jasprit Bumrah, will rely on Mohammad Shami, Siraj, and Umesh to put up an uphill battle to the Australian batting order.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-wtc-final-key-battles">IND vs AUS WTC Final Key Battles</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#virat-kohli-vs-pat-cummins">Virat Kohli vs Pat Cummins</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ashwin-vs-smith-and-warner">Ashwin vs Smith and Warner</a></li><li class=""><a href="#indian-top-order-vs-mitch-starc">Indian Top Order vs Mitch Starc</a></li><li class=""><a href="#siraj-vs-usman-khawaja">Siraj vs Usman Khawaja</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



Here&nbsp;are&nbsp;three&nbsp;key&nbsp;battles&nbsp;to&nbsp;look&nbsp;out&nbsp;for&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;2023&nbsp;WTC&nbsp;Final:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-wtc-final-key-battles">IND vs AUS WTC Final Key Battles</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="virat-kohli-vs-pat-cummins">Virat Kohli vs Pat Cummins</h3>



The modern-day run machine of international cricket, Virat Kohli, has scored runs with dominance all over the planet. However, just a handful of bowlers, particularly Pat Cummins and James Anderson, have given him some very difficult trials throughout time.



Since 2017, Virat has faced more than 300 balls with an average of 16, scoring just under 100 runs against Cummins. About 6 times throughout this time, he got out to him. These statistics are pretty dismal given the caliber of the batter, showing that Cummins has managed to limitate Kohli.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ashwin-vs-smith-and-warner">Ashwin vs Smith and Warner</h3>



A bowler who is truly lethal for left-handers is Ravichandran Ashwin. He has the potential to put forth some serious damage to David Warner. Ten dismissals in 385 deliveries for 182 runs (an average of 18.2) show that there has only been one winner in this battle.



The only time this contest was even close was during the 2012?13 series in India when Warner hit 79 runs and got knocked out twice.



Ravichandran Ashwin is the only bowler in Test cricket who has two times got out Smith for a duck on the very first ball. Up until 2020, Smith had an edge over Ashwin, giving him the wicket only three times while averaging 116 against the off-spinner.



However, things went south since then as Ashwin has knocked him out five times in 11 innings. Since 2020, Smith has faced Ashwin on average 17.2, and he has been out within 39 balls.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="indian-top-order-vs-mitch-starc">Indian Top Order vs Mitch Starc</h3>



The Indian top-four batters have historically done well in front of Starc. Rohit and Gill have never got out to Starc to date but in such conditions where the pitch is left with 1 inch of grass, he becomes a very deadly speedster. India's record against left-arm swing bowlers is also not so much convincing and promising.



Kohli, Pujara, and Rahane have a combined average of over 80 against Starc. He is probably one of the bigger threats to the Indian top order.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="siraj-vs-usman-khawaja">Siraj vs Usman Khawaja</h3>



Siraj has entirely enhanced his new red ball game by pushing it to the next level. He has been able to get more out of each given pitch because of his hard length and accuracy. Siraj might cause trouble for Usman Khawaja if he is given the new ball right away, which is what we understand will happen.

WTC Final: IND vs AUS Key Battles to Look Out for! WTC 2023 Final India vs Australia

wtc-final-ind-vs-aus-key-battles-to-look-out-for-wtc-2023-final-india-vs-australia

The Oval Pitch Report, IND vs AUS WTC Final: After 2 years of effort and industriousness, India and Australia are all set to battle in the grand finale of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23. The two heavyweights, India and Australia, will square off in the WTC final from June 7 to June 11 on The Oval, London(England).



India's victory against Pat Cummins' Australia in a 2-1 home series gave Rohit Sharma's team another appearance in the WTC Final for the second time in a row. Australia had also earned a spot in the Ultimate Test by topping the WTC Points table during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 earlier this year.



India will face Australia for the first time in a neutral venue in the test format. India had a pretty decent series a year ago in the English condition. Last time when India played a test in the Oval against England, India won it by 157 runs. Rohit Sharma smacked beautiful hundred and 27 runs and then Captain Virat got 94 runs off his bat. 



But this time around, the challenge is going to be different as the team dynamics and conditions have changed. First WTC final for Rohit Sharma, Green Top, No Jaspreet Bomrah, No Rishabh Pant, and comparatively a weaker middle order.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#the-oval-pitch-report">The Oval Pitch Report</a></li><li class=""><a href="#the-oval-london-test-stats-and-records">The Oval, London Test Stats and Records</a></li><li class=""><a href="#london-weather-forecast">London Weather Forecast</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Let's take a brief look at The Oval Pitch Report, IND vs AUS Test Records &amp; Stats, and London Weather Forecast:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-oval-pitch-report">The Oval Pitch Report</h2>



Over the years, The Oval's wickets have displayed significant bounce. Fast bowlers always enjoy bowling in England. As the match moves into day three and beyond, there is support for both spin bowlers and fast bowlers. Swing bowlers benefit from favorable weather conditions as well.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pitch-Oval-1.jpg" alt="The Oval Pitch Report | IND vs AUS WTC 2023 Final: Test Records &amp; Stats, London Weather Forecast" class="wp-image-114499" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Oval Pitch Report | IND vs AUS WTC 2023 Final</figcaption></figure>



This was in reference to how the Oval's Pitch generally behaved. According to pictures of the Pitch going viral on the internet, it is really a green top. The batters will struggle in the middle, while the seamers will undoubtedly enjoy bowling. An overcast morning is the cruelest thing that can happen to a batsman. It is definitely going to be a bowlers' paradise.



However, as this is the first Test to be played at the Oval in June, both sides could be looking for ways to capitalize on the spin. Since June marks the beginning of the English summer, spinners may have a game-changing role after the third day. Australia may select one spinner and load their pace attack, compared to India who will field two spinners.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-oval-london-test-stats-and-records">The Oval, London Test Stats and Records</h2>



In 104 matches, pace bowlers picked up 1930 wickets at an average of 30.60, while spinners have taken 892 wickets at an average of 34.26. Fast bowlers have enjoyed their success at this venue. Until the present day, teams batting first have won 38 games, teams batting second have won 29, and 37 games have resulted in draws.



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches Played</td><td>104</td></tr><tr><td>Teams Won Batting First</td><td>38</td></tr><tr><td>Teams Won Chasing</td><td>29</td></tr><tr><td>Draw</td><td>37</td></tr><tr><td>Average First Batting Score</td><td>345</td></tr><tr><td>India Won</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>India Lost</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>India Draw</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>Australia Won</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>Australia Lost</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>Australia Draw</td><td>14</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="london-weather-forecast">London Weather Forecast</h2>



The end result of the WTC final may be significantly influenced by unpredictable weather in England. During the five days of play, it is predicted that the temperature would range from 18? to 22? Celsius. The first two days are predicted to be clear, with the possibility of scattered rain on the third and fourth days. Pacers are expected to have an advantage if it is overcast.

IND vs AUS Day 1: The Kia Oval in London will host the IND vs AUS WTC Final 2023 from June 7?11. This is Team India's second straight appearance in a WTC final, while it is Australia's first. After the final, one of the two teams will be crowned as the new World Test Champions.



In the first WTC tournament final in 2021 at Southampton's Rose Bowl, the Indian team just fell short against New Zealand by a margin of seven wickets. However, the game was shifted to the reserve day because the first day was entirely abandoned owing to lengthy weather delays.



The Kia Oval will host the WTC final game. The site has traditionally offered favorable batting conditions. For the first few days, bowlers will discover seam and swing movement. Australian pacers, with their skill sets, will certainly put the Indian batters to the test, as will Indian bowlers. The WTC 2023 Final is shaping up to be a memorable competition.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-day-1-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS Day 1 Weather Forecast</h2>



WTC 2021-23 Final | India vs Australia Test match will be played at The Oval, London, England from June 7 to June 11 starting at 10:30 AM Local and 3:30 PM IST.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/weather.png" alt="IND vs AUS Day 1 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England | Where to watch WTC Final?" class="wp-image-114533" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS Day 1 Weather Forecast London (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/ae8230efd4bc57fdf721a02c7eb2b88c56aa6e71d73666328e33af3ea2039032132e24ae91b6a07862c5091a9d95a4b8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be slightly overcast towards the starting hour of the match. After one hour, the sky is expected to be crystal clear. There are 0% chances of rain throughout the day. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be at 16? C and rise up to 21? C in the evening. 



Winds with a speed of around 16-17KMPH will gust towards East-North East. Humidity will also stay at the average rate of 50%-60%. So, we can expect a pretty healthy and decent day to begin the WTC Final.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-day-1-pitch-report">IND vs AUS Day 1 Pitch Report</h2>



The Kennington Oval has served as the site of the most test matches. Even though the location is known for high scoring, there is still much for the bowlers to enjoy. Given that England's weather is always varying and unexpected, it is difficult to forecast whether the ball or the bat would dominate. In other words, the pitch helps both the bowlers and the batsmen. The result of the toss is important given the circumstance.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pitch-Oval-1.jpg" alt="The Oval Pitch Report | IND vs AUS WTC 2023 Final: Test Records &amp; Stats, London Weather Forecast" class="wp-image-114499" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Oval Pitch Report | IND vs AUS WTC 2023 Final</figcaption></figure>



This was a reference to the typical behavior of the Oval's pitch. Pictures of the Pitch that have gone popular online show that it is clearly a green top. While the seamers will surely love bowling, the batsmen will struggle in the middle. The worst thing that can happen to a batsman is an overcast morning. It will undoubtedly be a bowlers' paradise.

IND vs AUS Day 1 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England | Where to watch WTC Final?

IND vs AUS Day 2: One of the most awaited matches in recent times is on a roll. India and Australia, two red-ball heavyweights are engaged in the final clash at The Oval, England. Australia dominated the field all around on Day 1 and now, let's check out the IND vs AUS Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England.



India chose to bowl first in the WTC Final after winning the toss because of the amount of grass on the pitch. There was nothing to guess that India are going to play with 1 spinner and 4 pacers but what surprised the entire cricket experts colony and fans was India chose to bench Ravi Chandran Ashwin who has been the deadliest bowler for Australian left-handers.



Owing to the morning's moderate shade of clouds, Indian bowlers were able to move the ball in the air, as we mentioned in the Day 1 pitch report. Usman Khawaja was sent to the pavilion by Siraj without scoring a single run. After that, Warner and Labuschagne clubbed for 69 runs until the former was dismissed by Shardul Thakur.



The first ball after Lunch and Shami bamboozled Labuschagne to open his account in WTC Final. Travis Head, a left-hander comes at the crease to join Steve Smith. Travis Head started the counter-attack and he just blew out all the energy off the Indian players. Tavis Head is on the crease at 146*(156). The entire two sessions for India then went wicketless. At the stumps of Day 1, Australia are 327/3.

ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is again predicted to be slightly overcast towards the morning but will be clear till the starting hour of the match. The sky is expected to be crystal clear. There are 0-1% chances of rain throughout the day. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be at 14? C and rise up to 22? C in the evening.



Winds with a speed of around 16-20KMPH will gust towards East-North East. Humidity in the morning will be around 72% but will stay at the average rate of 50%-60%. So, we can expect more of a bowling pitch at the start and a pretty healthy and decent day 2 of the WTC Final.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-day-1-pitch-report">IND vs AUS Day 1 Pitch Report</h2>



The Kennington Oval has hosted the most test matches. Despite being known for high scores, bowlers can still find plenty of stuff to enjoy there. It was undoubtedly a green top, as we could see early on yesterday, but Indian bowlers were unable to take most of the surface's swing.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/361341-1.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England | Where to watch WTC Final?" class="wp-image-114591" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS Day 2 Pitch Report of The Oval, England</figcaption></figure>



There was an uneven bounce that troubled Aussis quite a few times and Indian batsmen would also be taking the understanding of the pitch.



"All that glitters isn't gold," this famous phrase can explain the pitch. Ricky Ponting thinks that it looks like a green top but the wicket is dry deep down inside. He said, "India have made a mistake of picking a bowling attack just for the first innings of the game. Australia have many left-handers; Ashwin would trouble the left-handers more than Jadeja. I saw the grass, yes there was grass but the deeper looked, it seemed dry to me."



What we feel is that there is still something for bowlers with the new ball in the morning session but one needs to find his rhythm early on.

IND vs AUS Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England | Where to watch WTC Final?

IND vs AUS Day 3: The nightmare for India in ICC main events continues as Australia are having the upper hand at the stumps of IND vs AUS Day 2(WTC Final). India and Australia are currently battling it out in the final round of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23, which begins on June 7 and ends on June 11 at The Oval in England. 



Continuing exactly from where Australia left Day 1, Travis Head and Steve Smith started to smack down the Indian tired-looking bowling unit. After two days, Australia has taken the lead in the WTC final. In the very first over of the Day, Smith reached his century with two back-to-back boundaries to Siraj. We saw short Balls from Siraj were making trouble for Head and it was short ball again which put full stop to Head's magnificent innings. Travis Head registered 150 runs, Carey had 48 runs, and the Australians added 142 runs to their overnight total. 



After choosing to bowl, the Indian bowlers conceded 469 runs despite taking four wickets in the morning session of Day 2 and the last three in the first hour after lunch.



India's reply was off to a quick start thanks to the solid batting of Gill and Rohit against Starc and Cummins. Boland comes in, pressed the brakes with a maiden over, and right away the Australian captain caught Rohit lbw to win the battle of the captains. Boland and Green cleaned up Gill and Pujara respectively with both of them misjudging the line and pulling arms. From 30/0 to 50/3 within a blink of an eye. Starc took Kohli with a short one.

India are 151/5 at Day 2 stumps and trailing by 318 runs. It is going to be a decisive day of the WTC Final Ind vs Aus.

Today, on Day 3, the weather is forecasted to be overcast. Though the pitch is looking dry enough, there will be help for the pacers right from the first over. Spinners will come into play if the sky gets cleared up and the pitch becomes more dry.



As of now, the surface has become dry to that level, where the batting is slightly on the easier side. If the weather remains cloudy, the pitch might remain better for batting and the sun comes out, the spinners would love it.

IND vs AUS WTC Final: D?j? vu hits as India is on the verge of losing it all in the final yet another time. India are all out for 296 runs, yet Australia has a big lead of 173! If they had kept the chances they have in the morning session, it would have been something more. They didn't, and Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur, two Mumbai boys, sewed a century partnership.

Day 3 started with Ajinkya Rahane in the strike and Bolland with the ball in his hands. Rahane flicks the first ball for a single and KS Bharat went back to the pavilion with the very first ball he faced of the day. Australian fielding looked a bit rusty as they dropped Shardul Thakur twice in the slip.

IND vs AUS: India All Out For 296! Australia Inching Close to Win WTC Final 2023

ind-vs-aus-india-all-out-for-296-australia-inching-close-to-win-wtc-final-2023

IND vs AUS Day 4: ICC World Test Championship Final has moved to its Day 4 as Australia are heading to set their roots deep in order to clinch their first-ever WTC title. The road for India to win the WTC Final is only going to be more difficult and the weather can play a big role going forward as there is overcast condition forecasted. Here we discuss IND vs AUS Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of The Oval, England in this post.



Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur's valiant runs and a stronger bowling performance than in the first innings helped India fight brilliantly on the third day of the WTC final, but by the end of the day, it was clear they had lost too much ground on the previous two days.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-day-3-overview">IND vs AUS Day 3 Overview</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-day-4-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS DAY 4 Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-day-3-pitch-report">IND vs AUS Day 3 Pitch Report</a></li><li class=""><a href="#where-to-watch-the-ind-vs-aus-day-4-wtc-final">Where to Watch the IND vs AUS Day 4 (WTC Final)?</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-day-3-overview">IND vs AUS Day 3 Overview</h2>



Boland castling Bharat off the very first ball of the day gave Australia a great start. Rahane and Shardul Thakur then put together a courageous century stand. India, who were in trouble at 152/6, managed to escape the follow-on and ended up quite close to 300. India's lower order put up a fight, but the Australians still had a substantial 173-run lead after the first inning.



India were very disciplined with the ball. Siraj struck first, dismissing Warner, and Khawaja nick-off a wide ball from Umesh. Smith was knocked down by Jadeja while attempting a wild slog.



The other centurion from the opening inning was Head, who also was removed by Jadeja. Marnus and Green closed the business and made sure there would be no setbacks till the last buzzer. Australia are undoubtedly the favorite to win this final with a lead of 296 on a surface that is losing quality. They, however, will not take India for granted.

IND vs AUS WTC Final: With a total of 137 overs anticipated for the remainder of this Test, India's target is 444. After lunch, Australia came out looking to put up fast runs, which they did since they had Starc and Carey. Together, they scored 93 runs in 120 balls for the seventh wicket, giving Australia a bigger lead.



Indian Bowling unit was looking quite confident and pumped up today. They were having some kind of extra bounce off the surface. Labuschagne, who would have a pitch map of his body, fall early to a good ball from Umesh Yadav, and Cheteshwar Pujara caught an awkward catch.

A solid hold on line and length by Jadeja and Siraj mounted pressure on Green and Carey, which resulted in Jadeja bowling out Green. Then Starc and Carey added 93 quick runs to lead. Shami sent Starc back to the pavilion and soon tricked Cummins.



As the captain's wicket fell, he called off the innings and Australia Declared at 270 for 8 wickets down. India have now 444 run target to curb the ICC trophy drought.

IND vs AUS: Australia Declared at 270/8! India Need 444 To Win The ICC WTC Final 2023

ind-vs-aus-australia-declared-at-270-8-india-need-444-to-win-the-icc-wtc-final-2023

WTC FINAL: After two years of grind and hustle, Australia have become the World Test Champions defeating India in the ICC WTC Final 2023 at The Oval, London. It is known that till the fourth day, both teams wasted the time of about 34 overs. Regarding this, ICC fined India and Australia for slow over rate, and additionally, Shubman Gill is fined for his Social Media post on his controversial catch.



In violation of the ICC Code of Conduct, Australia and India, both received severe penalties for maintaining a slow over-rate during the World Test Championship final. The Kangaroos ended up winning by 209 runs after the game was over on Sunday morning. Due to their slow overrate, the Indian team was penalized their entire 100% match fees, whereas Australia were asked to pay 80%.



Australia were considered to be four overs short, while India were found to be five overs short of the mark. For every over that a team fails to bowl in the permitted time, players are subject to a fine of 20% of their match fee, as stated in Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gill Fined 15% for Social Media Post in WTC Final</h2>



In regards to Gill's controversial catch, Gill edged a delivery from Scott Boland to the third slip, where Green quickly dived in order to finish the catch. Australian team members began to celebrate and Gill stayed in the middle. The umpire then called up the third umpire, Richard Kettleborough, who eventually declared Gill out after looking at just two different angles.



Gill posted this on his social media after Cameron Green's catch on the fourth day of the game was determined as a fair catch by television umpire Richard Kettleborough. The post seemed to be questioning the decision.



For violating Article 2.7, which forbids publicly criticizing or making improper comments in response to an incident occurring in an international match, Gill has been hit with a fine worth 15% of his match fee.

The Afghans, under the leadership of Hashmatullah Shahidi, might be taking part in their first ever Champions Trophy 2025 tournament but have enjoyed a great run in the ODI format. They have secured victories in their last four ODI series heading into the marquee ICC event which includes a 2-1 series victory over the Proteas. This series win alone is more than enough to increase their confidence going into the eight-team event. 
The Proteas, on the other hand, might still be considered as the favourites to win this game but their performances in the last few ODI games has been underwhelming. The Temba Bavuma-led outfit have faced the wrath of injuries and they ended the recently concluded Triangular series versus New Zealand & Pakistan on a terrible note, failing to register a single win.
