India vs Australia Live Score, WTC Final 2023: Australia have the advantage in the first session of the day scoring 73/2 at Lunch. India, meanwhile, have taken out the on song David Warner at 43 right before the break while Usman Khawaja fell for a duck courtesy of Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj respectively. This was after Rohit Sharma and Co have left out the world’s top-ranked Test bowler, Ravichandran Ashwin, and have decided to bowl first in the World Test Championship Final against Australia.
India and Australia will compete for the greatest prize in Test cricket as the two face off in the second World Test Championship Final. The five-day one-off Test match has a reserve day in place in case rain intervenes the match just like it did the last time when India played New Zealand in 2021 at Southampton.
Virat Kohli and Co were defeated by the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand side by four wickets in the final. In the current Test Championship cycle, India qualified for the final following wins in all three home series at home – including against Australia – and another in Bangladesh. The runner ups from the 2021 final were at the receiving end of a 2-1 series defeat in South Africa and a 2-2 draw in England. Australia at the other hand beat England, West Indies and South Africa at home and registered another win during the Test series in Pakistan apart from a 1-1 result on their tour of Sri Lanka.

Sunshine gleamed from every footage from Arundel and Beckenham, the training base for India and Australia for the World Test Championship at Oval, which again, as the photographs captured, glistened in a pre-summer glow. But England summers are different from those of India and Australia. The sun never bakes like in India; it does not scorch like in Australia. Some of India’s batsmen wore windbreakers and floppy hats, some of the less acclimatized Australians wore skull caps and jackets for a swing at the Formby Golf Club.

There is the whimsy mood of the wine-red, hand-stitched Dukes’ ball to be mastered; there is an unknown pitch to be conquered—no Test has ever been played at the Oval in early June; Test-match habits and tempo have to be reacquainted with after an Indian summer of IPL. (READ SANDIP G’s PREVIEW OF THE FINAL)
