India and Australia will face off in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams are in top form, with India undefeated in the tournament and Australia on an eight-game winning streak.
India clinched their spot in the final defeating New Zealand in the semi-finals, while Australia overcame South Africa in a low-scoring encounter.
The final, set to take place in Ahmedabad, has raised concerns about the potential impact of dew on the match’s outcome. However, a closer look at previous 2023 World Cup matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium suggests that dew has not played a significant role in the results.
The stadium has hosted four World Cup 2023 matches, with three of those games being won the team batting second. However, it’s important to note that dew does not appear to have influenced these outcomes.
In the opening match, New Zealand defeated England nine wickets, with dew playing little to no factor on the fresh wicket.
Even in a game where Australia defended a total of 286 runs against England, the impact of dew was minimal. South Africa’s successful run chase of 245 against Afghanistan also did not appear to be impacted dew, as it was the spinners who inflicted all five wickets loss.
Overall, while the pitch has favorably eased up for batting in the second innings, dew has not been a significant factor due to the use of anti-dew chemicals.
As for the final showdown, the Dafabet odds favor India to emerge victorious.
