By losing the semi-final, the South Africans have failed yet again in their quest to win a Cricket World Cup.<\/p>\n
Team India overcame a resolute New Zealand in the tournament\u2019s first semi-final at Mumbai\u2019s Wankhede Stadium on 15 November.<\/p>\n
The team broke several records on the way to their 70-run win.<\/p>\n
Some of them included Virat Kohli becoming the first-ever player to score 50 centuries in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and pacer Mohammed Shami claiming the best ODI figures for India with his spell of seven for 57.<\/p>\n
When and where will the 2023 Cricket World Cup final be played?<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2023 Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia will be played on Sunday at Ahmedabad\u2019s Narendra Modi Stadium, the world\u2019s largest cricket stadium.<\/p>\n The India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final match will start at 2pm local time (8.30am UK time).<\/p>\n Where will the match be broadcast?<\/strong><\/p>\n Viewers in the UK will be able to watch the World Cup on Sky Sports.

The hosts, led by former cricketing star MS Dhoni, had won the tournament after 28 years.<\/p>\n Australia, meanwhile, remains a dominant force in the sport. It has won the tournament in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015.

Australia\u2019s best batter this tournament has been opener David Warner, the sixth-leading scorer with 528 runs.<\/p>\n The top two bowlers of the 2023 World Cup are fittingly one each from India and Australia.
