India will once again face the mighty Australians in a World Cup final. Though, this time, India are definitely the stronger team, and with tremendous crowd support. If India wins, then they will have done something that I don't recall in ODIs: beating Australia twice in such a global tournament! Though, if Australia pull through, then they would beaten every single team in this big event.
South Africa have a positive win loss record against the Aussies but have never beaten them in a knockout game at a World Cup. It's an astonishing stat: South Africa have never made it to a final.
In contrast, the Aussies have a staggering pedigree at World Cups:
- 1987: Champions
- 1992: No final
- 1996: Final lost
- 1999: Champions
- 2003: Champions
- 2007: Champions
- 2011: No final
- 2015: Champions
- 2019: No final
- 2023: Final on Sunday.
India face the toughest opponent in the final. It should be fun!
