World Test Championship Final 2023: India Vs Australia WTC 2023 Date, Venue, Squads — all you need to know

World Test Championship Final 2023: After drawing the 4th Test match against Australia, the Indian cricket team has two reasons to celebrate — firstly, they retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by defeating Australia 2-1, and secondly, they secured a berth in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). By virtue of New Zealand’s victory against Sri Lanka, India qualified for the WTC finals even before the 4th Test match against Australia concluded. The Kiwi win ensured that India qualified for the WTC, irrespective of the result of the fourth BGT test.

Sri Lanka's defeat to New Zealand in the first Test match sealed their fate, and they were unable to keep their World Test Championship campaign alive. India, on the other hand, can now breathe a sigh of relief as they prepare to face Australia in the much-anticipated WTC final. The WTC points table saw plenty of action, and Sri Lanka had a chance to overtake India if they had won the series against New Zealand 2-0.

Now, India will lock horns against Australia yet again in the grand finale of WTC. Let’s have a quick glance on the WTC finale details:
