India and Australia are all set to face each other in the final of ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 and the match will start from 7 June, Wednesday. Kennington Oval, London is the venue where this match will be played and some very competitive cricket is expected to take place between these two top test playing nations in this WTC final. India was the runner-up of WTC 2019-2021 and now it a golden chance for the Rohit Sharma’s lead team to take their redemption.
Australian fast bowler Josh Hazelwood has been ruled out from playing WTC 2023 final against India due to his ongoing Achilles and side issue, Michael Neser has joined the Aussie squad as Hazelwood’s replacement. Team India has a major wicket-keeper problem going into this match as Rohit Sharma will be forced to make a tough call to pick one between Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat.

IND vs AUS WTC Final 2023 Kennington Oval Pitch Report :
Till date about 105 test matches are being played at this Kennington Oval ground and this is a record for holding most test matches. Its a high scoring venue but it also provides some help to the fast bowlers, depending on the weather conditions. Toss will play a huge role in this match because spinners will get a lot of help from this pitch on the last 2 days as the pitch will get dry.
As we already said that performance of fast bowlers will depend a lot on the weather conditions because this isn’t going to be a green surface and the past record of pacers on this Oval venue is not that great.
