🏏 WTC Final 2023, India vs Australia: Kennington Oval, London 🏏- Page 5

Overall stats for both teams in all formats of the cricket. Looks good.👍🏼

One of them will have their cabinet filled with WTC trophy in 5 to 6 days.

Twenty minutes to go, and the big question for India then: R Ashwin as the second spinner or a fourth fast bowler? On the last trip to England, India kept playing four quicks, but the big question is: do they have four quicks ready and good enough to keep Ashwin out? Remember Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma are out from the last time around. It might still come down to conditions and weather. Even if India do go ahead with two spinners, don't be surprised if Shardul Thakur pips Umesh Yadav.

Jito India👍👍

All the best

Nagraj Gollapudi, who is lurking somewhere at The Oval, informs us that it looks like Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur are definitely playing. So it is between R Ashwin and Umesh Yadav for the final spot. He also reports that KS Bharat is likely to be the wicketkeeper.

For the first Test in June at The Oval ever, there is 6mm of grass on the pitch. And it is cloudy overhead. Kumar Sangakkara says there will be both swing and seam. So I think India will go four quicks, and the side winning the toss is likely to bowl first. Three minutes to go to the toss.

Pitch Report | Kumar Sangakkara: "It's cold, there's a bit of wind and it's overcast. There'll be swing. There's a lovely green covering of grass, so there'll be seam as well. You'll have very good bounce here." Win toss and bowl?

DYK! The Oval has hosted 104 Tests but this final will be the first one to be played in June.
