The 2023 ODI World Cup final between Australia and India is scheduled to take place. On Sunday, November 19, both teams will be in the spotlight at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, and it should be exciting to watch which team wins and reclaims the world title. One of the main topics of conversation leading up to the match will be the type of surface that will be used when Australia and India square off. Pat Cummins, the captain of the Men in Yellow, recently visited Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium and had a chance to inspect the field.
Despite Pat Cummins’ opinion that he is not a good pitch reader, the wicket appeared to be hard, and letting it dry out for a day could give us a better indication of the surface that will be in play.
Although I’m not very good at reading pitches, it seemed really firm. It looks like a really nice wicket, but they’ve only recently watered it, so yeah, give it another 24 hours and have a look,” ESPNcricinfo cited Pat Cummins as saying.
We seem to have found that balance really well. Pat Cummins
Cummins also emphasized the Australian team’s excellent adaptation to Indian cricketing conditions and their deft use of a range of deliveries in striking a balance.
It’s important to have courage while using slower balls and bouncers; strike a balance between being adventurous and not getting carried away. I believe we’ve got that balance quite well, and at least in India, by the end of the innings, things like cutters often perform perhaps even better than they do in other parts of the world, according to Cummins.
In addition, the Australian captain was questioned about the extent of the Indian team’s home-field advantage come playoff time. In response, Cummins said that things may be equal for both parties.
Yes, it’s difficult to explain because it’s evidently the same for both teams. Undoubtedly, there are benefits to playing on your own field in your home nation that are comparable to those of playing on fields where you have spent your entire life. However, we’ve played a lot of cricket here, according to Cummins.
