Team India have enjoyed a phenomenal run in the World Cup 2023. But it all comes down to this one day. And Rohit Sharma and Co will be wary of their opponents who are known to thrive on the big stage.
Gunning for their third ODI World title, India will be up against five-time world champions Australia.
While the hosts remain unbeaten, Australia started off with a loss to India and South Africa and then won eight matches on the trot.
