In the ICC World Cup,
India and Australia have played each
other 13 times, with just one meeting being in the championship match.
Australia and India will square off in the 2023 World Cup final. This is a
critical point in the competition for both teams, but particularly for India,
who are feeling the heat in multiple ways. India beat Australia by six wickets
in their opening encounter in Chennai, even though they lost three wickets in
the first two overs.
Furthermore,
Australia and India will face off in the World
Cup final for the second time. India's first final of the century was held in
2003, the year of the first encounter. But then they had to contend with the
powerful team captained by the current world champions, Ricky Ponting.
.. This time, however, things are very different. Australia
is attempting a comeback after losing their opening two games in the
competition, and India is showing great form.
Throughout their 150 ODI encounters,
Australia has won 83
while India has won 57. In their 13 World Cup matches against one another,
Australia has won eight times while India has won five. Let's examine the
