India is gearing up to host the Australian team in the World Cup 2023 final. India has displayed exceptional performance throughout the tournament, maintaining an unbeaten record with ten wins in as many games. They upset New Zealand by 70 runs in the first semifinal in their most recent game.
Meanwhile, Australia had an uncharacteristic start in the tournament but made a strong comeback, securing victory in seven consecutive matches to get a spot in the semifinals. Their recent victory came in the second semifinal against South Africa, which they won by three wickets.
As the two cricketing powerhouses prepare to face off in the World Cup final, all eyes will be on the performance of the Australian batters against the in-form, spitting-fire Indian bowling attack. Historically, the contests have been heated, with both teams displaying their cricketing prowess.
Here is a list of five batters who have performed impressively against India and will be eager to put their team in a strong position this time around.
Player | Matches | Runs | Average | Strike rate | 50/100 |
Steven Smith | 28 | 1306 | 54.41 | 100.84 | 6/5 |
David Warner | 26 | 1215 | 50.62 | 98.54 | 9/3 |
Glenn Maxwell | 31 | 945 | 34.85 | 134.04 | 6/0 |
Mitchell Marsh | 11 | 458 | 65.42 | 115.94 | 3/1 |
M.Labuschagne | 13 | 387 | 35.18 | 89.37 | 3/0 |
In addition, once again all eyes will be on Travis Head, who, given his astounding current form, poses a huge threat to the Indian side. He has been in brilliant form since his debut World Cup encounter when he made a sensation by smashing Australia’s fourth-quickest ODI century in 59 balls. He has 192 runs in the last five matches at an excellent average of 38.40. His ability to score quickly and play big innings makes him even more ruthless. In the semifinals against New Zealand, he was instrumental in driving his team to victory with a spectacular 62-run knock, proving his under-pressure ability. India’s bowling attack will surely be tested to find strategies to restrict Head, who has proven to be a game-changer with his current hot form.
