ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 Final Venue, Date
The biggest match of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 is set to take place on November 19, when India and Australia will face each other in the final. The venue for the final is the Narendra Modi Stadium, which holds the Guinness World Record for the largest crowd in a T20 match ever.
ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 Final Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is known to be slow and low, favouring the spinners and the batsmen who can play them well. The pitch used to be more helpful for the seamers in the past, but it has lost its pace and bounce over the years. Only a few Test matches have ended in a result at this venue.
The dimensions of the ground are 66 metres on the square boundaries and 74 metres on the straight boundaries. This means that hitting sixes may not be easy, especially against the spinners who can exploit the large outfield.
The pitch is expected to be a sporty one, with some swing and movement for the new ball bowlers, but also true bounce and good carry for the batsmen who can negotiate the initial phase. The average score in the three ODIs played here since the renovation in 2021 is around 280, which suggests that a competitive total can be achieved.
The pitch report suggests that the final match will be a close contest between the two teams, who have both shown their skills and resilience throughout the tournament. The team that can adapt to the conditions and play according to the situation will have the upper hand in the final.
