‘They can make difference at any point in game’ – Former Australia cricketer makes huge claim ahead of ODI World Cup 2023 final vs India

Team India is all set to lock horns against Australia for the final clash of the ODI World Cup 2023, slated to take place on November 19 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, Rohit Sharma is unbeaten in the tournament and places themselves in the top spot in the points table of the league stage before thrashing New Zealand in their semi-final clash.

On the other hand, five-time world champions have placed themselves in the third spot with seven wins and two losses before beating South Africa in the semi-finals. However, former Australian cricketer Michael Bevan shared his valuable insights ahead of the final showdown. The former batting legend feels that reaching the finals is the toughest thing, and both teams are playing their top cricket. However, the legendary cricketer feels that Australia is the game changer and has the unique ability to surpass India in the final clash.

“Reaching the World Cup final is a tremendous achievement something that doesn’t happen very often. We have two teams playing in the final who are at their top form. The Australians have a lot of talents and have players who can make a difference at any point in a game. I believe the Aussies need to improve their batting,” Michael Bevan told ANI.

India are the clear favourite but the potential for Australia to win the ODI World Cup 2023: Michael Bevan

The 53-year-old cricketer feels that hosts India are the clear favourites to win the tournament, but Australia also holds the potential equally. Moreover, the former left-handed batter also lauded Pat Cummins and Co., saying that they had made a tremendous comeback despite losing the first two games.

“India are the clear favourite but the potential for Australia to win the ODI World Cup 2023 is also there. Whoever wins the toss will be going to bat first, since it is a good batting team. After a slow start in the tournament, they have made a tremendous comeback,” he added further.
