India qualified for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) on 13 March although the fourth Test match against Australia ended in a draw. New Zealand’s victory over Sri Lanka secured the Blues a spot in the World Test Cup final for the second time in a row.
Australia secured their spot in the WTC final with a victory in the Third Test against India in Indore, leaving them with just one spot. A match is awaited at Christchurch, where both teams compete fiercely. Sri Lanka’s loss to New Zealand made it impossible for them to continue their WTC campaign. However, it has brought a sense of relief to India as they prepare to meet Australia in the highly anticipated final.

The final match of the ICC WTC Championship qualifiers, India and Australia, is scheduled for June 7, 2023 at Kennington Oval in London, UK. Both Team India and Team Australia are looking forward to the final.
Recently, Australian cricket star Ricky Ponting spoke about the final. He said: “I think that will be India’s top command ahead of Australia’s fast bowling. It’s a somewhat tantalizing mindset for the future.” Australia is confident in its ability to beat India in the upcoming final. Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, who currently play round cricket, add strength to Australia’s batting squad.
Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team is placing high hopes on Ajinkya Rahane’s return to the National Test team. The player who currently plays for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023 has excelled in the domestic cricket tournament, showing a resurgent form.
