There is a lot of buzz around the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 final, scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on Sunday (November 19). Hosts India will take on five-time champions Australia in the summit clash.

The journey of both teams has been quite different in this World Cup. While the Rohit Sharma-led side is yet to lose a match in the competition, Australia started their campaign with two successive defeats before registering eight wins on the trot to make it to the grand finale.

Ahead of the big final, 2011 World Cup-winner Yuvraj Singh didn’t filter his words as he termed India as favourites to lift the coveted trophy.

"Given how India's graph has been in the World Cup, I don't think they will perform badly. The only way India can lose this World Cup is through their mistakes. I feel they are high on confidence at the moment.

"Australia dominated the 2003 World Cup and although we played well and reached the final, Australia dominated us. This time, I feel India have dominated the tournament. Australia will need to play their best cricket in the final, or else they have no chance against India," Yuvraj told Sports Today.

However, Yuvraj issued a warning for the Indian team by emphasizing on Australia’s big match temperament.

"Australia know how to handle pressure. They have won the World Cup so many times. Even in the semifinal against South Africa, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc showed great composure as batters even when their specialist batters were all out. They win big matches because they have that big match temperament," he remarked.

While India would be looking to win their third World Cup title, Australia will be aiming to add a record-extending sixth World Cup title to their collection. The two sides will be clashing in the final for the second time.
