IND vs AUS, World Cup 2023 Semi-final: Team news
Besides being a sound captain, Rohit Sharma has set the tone for his side with his blazing starts with the bat and now finds himself a hurdle away from sealing the much-awaited third World Cup for his country. Although India had beaten Australia earlier at the group stage, a sterner test awaits them in the final, as the five-time titleholders are coming into this match on the back of eight consecutive wins despite stuttering early.
India are unlikely to tinker with their winning combination but to nullify the Travis Head-David Warner threat at the top, they might fancy their chances by throwing Ravichandran Ashwin in the ring. Against Australia at the group stage, Ashwin fared well in his only appearance in the tournament, picking up 1/34 off his ten overs.
For Australia, Marcus Stoinis replacing Marnus Labuschagne seems the only possible change. However, given the lethality of India’s bowlers, Labuschagne’s stability may be the go-to option again.

Match prediction: Who will win today’s IND vs AUS match?
The nerves of a final make it hard to pick a clear winner. While the current form and team balance favour India, Australia have a better legacy to deliver on the big stage, with their 2021-23 World Test Championship final win against India being their most recent success. Fasten your seatbelt for a blockbuster contest.
