India and Australia clash in the ICC World Cup final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium this Sunday. The historical head-to-head favors Australia with an 8-5 lead in the quadrennial spectacle. Notably, Australia holds a 2-1 advantage over India in knockout encounters.
In past encounters, Australia dominated, securing a 125-run win in the 2003 final and a 95-run victory in the 2015 semifinals. However, India managed a lone knockout victory in the 2011 quarterfinals in Ahmedabad. Despite a six-wicket win in the opening match of this edition, India faces a formidable opponent.
Australia, with a track record of winning five out of seven World Cup finals, stands as a formidable force. In contrast, India secured victories in 1983 and 2011 but faced defeat in the 2003 final against Ricky Ponting’s Australian side.
The current form adds an intriguing element, with India on a 10-match winning streak and Australia unbeaten in their last eight. India aims to match Australia’s record (11-0) in 2003 and 2007, while the West Indies (1975 and 1979) and Sri Lanka (1996) also clinched titles with an unbeaten run. The stage is set for a thrilling clash of cricket giants.
