India are all set to lock horns against old foes Australia in the final of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India defeated New Zealand in the first semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium, winning by 70 runs after posting a massive 397/4.

In the second semifinal, Australia overcame South Africa in a low-scoring game at Eden Gardens, chasing down 213.

Throughout the tournament, both teams have had some exceptional individual performers who have shone against the odds. 

Mohammed Shami has been brilliant for India with the ball and will be a key player to watch out for in the final. He is the highest wicket-taker so far with 23 scalps to his name and will look to further add to his tally.  

Whereas, Virat Kohli has been in sublime form becoming the first batsman to score more than 700 runs in a single edition of the World Cup. 

Glenn Maxwell can be the game-changer for Australia with the bat. He powered the Aussie to a memorable win over Afghanistan and it will not be surprising if he propels the Aussies to their record sixth World Cup title. 

Adam Zampa has 22 wickets to his name and can be decisive with the ball. He has troubled Indian batsmen in the past and will be licking his lips on a Narendra Modi pitch which offers help to the spinners in the middle overs. 

Who will win the Man of the Match award in the India vs Australia final?

As per odds on Dafabet, Virat Kohli is the favourite to win the Man of the Match award:
