India vs Australia WTC 2023 Final: How to watch the live streaming of the historic match

The World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final between India and Australia is set to begin on Wednesday, June 7 at the Oval Stadium in London. The match will be a historic occasion as both teams will vie for the prestigious title of the best Test team in the world.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, is playing their second consecutive WTC final, having lost to New Zealand at Lord's in 2021. Australia, captained by Pat Cummins, is making their debut appearance in the WTC final, having qualified as the second-ranked team after India.

Both teams have announced their 15-member squads and their standby players for the final. India has opted for a balanced squad with six batsmen, five bowlers and four all-rounders. Australia has gone for a strong batting line-up with seven batsmen, four bowlers and four all-rounders.

The match is expected to be a thrilling contest between two evenly matched sides, who have a rich history of rivalry in Test cricket. India and Australia have played 102 Tests against each other, with Australia winning 43, India winning 29 and 30 ending in draws.

The last time these two teams met in a Test series was in 2020-21, when India won 2-1 in Australia, retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The series was marked by several memorable performances from both sides, such as Ajinkya Rahane's century at Melbourne, Pat Cummins' bowling at Adelaide, Rishabh Pant's heroics at Sydney and Brisbane, and Cheteshwar Pujara's resilience throughout.

The WTC final will be a chance for both teams to showcase their skills and temperament in the longest format of the game. The match will also be a test of the new rules and regulations introduced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the WTC final, such as the use of DRS reviews, the allocation of reserve days and the criteria for deciding the winner in case of a draw or a tie.
