WTC Final 2023

"They have got a good mix of quality seam bowlers, with Shami and Siraj probably their two main guys. They have really good skills and the Dukes' ball will suit them nicely." "And then obviously their spinners as well, who bowl well in all conditions. So I think they have a good attack and we are going to have to play well against them this week," said Smith in a press conference at The Oval.

It means that majority of the players in the WTC final squad, including Cummins, haven't played a lot of competitive cricket since this year's Border-Gavaskar Trophy series ended in early March in India. After playing in the WTC final, Australia will stay on in England to play in the five-Test Ashes series, ending on July 31.

The 24-year old Green showed few signs of nerves that might come with being the most expensive Australian in IPL history as he compiled 452 runs and took six wickets for Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Rohit.

Australia was forced to miss the 2021 World Test Championship final because they were docked points for slow over-rates, as New Zealand became inaugural winners of the championship. But they are all set to play in the 2023 WTC final against India at The Oval from June 7-11.

India will take on Australia at The Oval in the WTC final from June 7-11. This will be the second time India will be playing in the marquee one-off final after losing to New Zealand in the inaugural edition of the title clash in 2021. India won 10 of the 18 Tests in the 2021-23 cycle, securing victories in four of the six series they played.
