WTC FINAL 2023 INDIA VS AUSTRALIA : With the tame draw in the last test match in the Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, India has sealed the series in their favour 2-1. Beating Indian team in India has always been a challenge and an ultimate test for the Australians. They even famously coined it as the Final Frontier.
With the 2-1 Series win, India has now qualified for the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC 2023). They will face Australia at the Oval to win the ultimate honour in Test Match Cricket.
Before the start of the 4th Test Match in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, apart from India, Sri Lanka also fancied their chance to qualify if they won their New Zealand Series 2-0. In the ongoing New Zealand Sri Lanka Series, New Zealand pulled off an incredible last ball win in the first test match in Christchurch.
Kane Williamson’s unbeaten 121 runs and Daryl Mitchell’s quick-fire 86 balls 81 runs pulled off a thriller in the very last ball of the test match. The loss meant Sri Lanka could manage only 56.94 even if they managed to win the second test. India, with the Ahmedabad draw, is way past it and now has their nose ahead and qualify for the World Test Championship finals to set a date with the Australians in the Oval, England.
Australia had already qualified when they won the third test in the 4-match series- Border Gavaskar Trophy.
