World Cup 2023 Final: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will witness the ICC World Cup final match, to be played on November 19 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad's Motera. The Indian team has already quilified for the final match.

India will play against Australia in the final match after it knocked out South Africa by three wickets in the second semi-final played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The Indian team's performance in the ongoing tournament has been spectacular so far as it hasn't lost a single game. 

Indian Air Force (IAF) Suryakiran aerobatic team will carry out flypast at Narendra Modi stadium before World Cup final clash.

After a nerve-wracking semifinal win under their belt, Australia cannot wait for the World Cup summit clash against India in Ahmedabad on Sunday, said captain Pat Cummins.

India had beaten New Zealand by 70 runs in the first semifinal in Mumbai on Wednesday.

"Easier than sitting in the dugout. Nerve-wracking couple of hours but great effort and a great game," Cummins said at the post-match presentation.

Asked about taking on India in the final with a massive crowd supporting the hosts, he said, "The stadium is going to be packed, pretty one-sided but got to embrace it.

"The good thing is a few of us have been there for finals before. The 2015 World Cup was a career highlight, so to be out there in a final in India, can't wait." Cummins said he knew the pitch would spin later in the match.

"We thought it would spin quite a bit. Wasn't expecting Starcy and Josh to bowl so much early. Bit gloomy, swinging around so wasn't too upset."
