In 2003, Australia appeared to have an advantage after going undefeated in all group-stage matches, and India has the same advantage this year.
Australia won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the final of the World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Both India and Australia have opted to go in with no changes in the sides that played their respective last semifinal matches against New Zealand and South Africa, respectively.
India captain Rohit Sharma said the team needs to stay nice and calm during the game if they want to go over the line in today’s final.
