After 47 games across 10 Indian cities, it's time for the 2023 Cricket World Cup final. Hosts India take on five-time champions Australia in the immense cauldron of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to decide who cricket's best 50-over team is – and you can watch IND vs AUS around the globe on Sunday, November 19.
And what a final we have on our hands! India batted first and, thanks to half-centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, managed to compile a modest total of 240. Australia will feel that their batters have the firepower to chase that down, while the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will need to be at their imperious best with the ball.

It's not often that the competition's most successful side would come into a World Cup final as underdogs, but such has been India's extraordinary form that it's hard to imagine a scenario where Rohit Sharma isn't lifting the trophy this evening.
India have been indomitable in every area, summed up by the fact that they have the tournament's top run scorer (Virat Kohli with 711) and wicket taker (Mohammed Shami with 23). Both contributed to their convincing semi-final win over New Zealand, with King Kohli breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of ODI centuries and Shami claiming seven victims. From Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer with the bat, seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, through to spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, every member of this team has played their part in the ten wins from ten so far.
Pat Cummins's men will have to cling on to some of the uncomfortable moments the Indians suffered in that semi, when – for a few overs at least – the Blackcaps began to look like they might chase down the total. Their own last-four game was much nervier, eventually overcoming South Africa by 3 wickets in a typically close encounter.
But cricket fans know by now never to underestimate Australia. David Warner, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are explosive at the top of the order and Mitchell Starc's left-arm thunderbolts have ripped through even the world's best batters. And then there's the unicorn that is Glenn Maxwell. Has he got one last miracle to conjure...?
And it's Cummins who has struck first by winning the toss. He has elected to field, meaning India will bat first. Both teams are unchanged since the semi-finals, meaning no room for the likes of Ravi Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Marcus Stoinis or Cameron Green.
