Till now, Adam Zampa has dominated most of the Indian batsmen in ODI. There might be a slow surface for the Final match. This will be a huge challenge for the Indian batters to face Zampa. If they can manage to get rid of the leg spinner, India will be in the driver’s seat.
Shubman Gill, however, will play his 1st World Cup match at his favourite Narendra Modi Stadium. But, he might face difficulties against Mitchell starc with the new ball. Once he passes through that face, a big inning is awaiting us.
The king Virat Kohli has struggled against Hazlewood in ODI. However, He managed to eliminate the risk in Chennai in this tournament, when the Indian team was under pressure.
Otherwise, all of the senior batters like Virat, Rohit and Rahul always dominate Australian bowlers eventually. Hope they perform the same on this big stage and bring back glory for India.
