Squads For ICC World Test Championship Final 2023
Both Cricket Boards have confirmed their star-studded lineups for World Test Championship Final 2023 with great quality in both batting and bowling departments. It is to keep noted that historically Oval has been a venue where spinners did enjoy bowling and this is probably the main reason why the Australian team has had a poor winning record on this venue overall.
Australia has won only 7 matches out of 38 games that have been played here and it is also one venue in which they have won the least number of matches across all other venues in England so in the back of their mind these stats will put some extra pressure on them but the good news is opponent is not England against whom they have had this forgetful winning percentage. In the last 50 years, only twice has Australia won at the Oval.
Team India poses a great challenge to deal with because of the high-quality bowling options they got and all of them are in pretty good form especially (Shami, Siraj, Jadeja & Ashwin). Warner’s batting form is a major concern for Australia as well at the top.
For Australia to win this match, they will highly depend on Warner, Khawaja, Smith & Labuschagne to score big runs and tackle the best bowling lineup of India for longer periods of time. Lyon’s experience of playing a lot of games at the Oval will also be a crucial deciding factor and he has troubled Indian batters in the past.
Below are the complete team squads for ICC World Test Championship Final 2023.Â
Team Australia:
Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Josh Inglis, Todd Murphy, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner.
Reserves: Mitch Marsh, Matt Renshaw
Team India:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Ravichandran Ashwin, KS Bharat, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Axar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadakt, Umesh Yadav.
Reserves: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Suryakumar Yadav

World Test Championship Final 2023 Prediction
On paper, Team India looks in much better shape and has better resources in hand for the Oval than Australia but when it comes to ICC big Finals it is often the Australian Cricket Team who is able to handle the pressure moments better and this is the reason they are by far the Greatest Cricket Team in history who have won many ICC titles for both Men & Women so the betting odds for both the teams won’t have much difference.
Both teams have big challenges as Australia has won only 2 games at the Oval in the last 50 years while India hasn’t won any ICC tournament since 2013 even though they have played the Semi-Finals and Finals on a consistent basis but losing the games in crunch situations. We predict Team India to win ICC World Test Championship Final 2023 under Rohit Sharma.
Let us know your thoughts on who you believe will win the WTC Title 2021-2023.
