The World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023 between India and Australia is scheduled to be played at The Oval in London from June 7-13. Both teams are evenly matched and it is expected to be a close contest. However, there is always the possibility that the match could end in a draw.
India and Australia are set to face off in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) at The Oval in London on June 7. This will be the second consecutive year that India has reached the WTC final, after losing to New Zealand in the inaugural edition in 2021.
Both teams have arrived in London and have already begun their preparations for the match. India will be looking to avenge their defeat in the last WTC final, while Australia will be hoping to win their first title.
The WTC final is expected to be a close contest, with both teams boasting strong batting and bowling lineups. However, the nature of Test cricket means that there is always the possibility of a draw.
The match will be a must-watch for all cricket fans, and it is sure to be a thrilling contest.
Despite finishing at the top of the WTC 2021-23 points table, the Australian cricket team will not be automatically awarded the title if the final match is drawn. In accordance with the rules, both teams will be declared joint winners if the match is drawn.
A reserve day has been set aside in case of rain, but it will only be used if there is a significant loss of net playing time or a significant loss of overs in the first five days. For the uninitiated, every Test match has a net playing time of 30 hours, six hours per day, or 90 overs per day.
