India and Australia’s march to the World Cup final:

Both India and Australia have booked their place in the World Cup final on the back of a dominant run in the tournament. India have not lost a single game in the tournament and are on a ten-match winning streak. The Indian team will be playing the World Cup for the fourth time and will be hoping to win it for the third time. India have not won the World Cup since 2011.

Australia, on the other hand, began their campaign with two losses including one against India. But the five-time world champions bounced back in style to win seven games on the trot and book a place in the semifinals. In the semifinal, they beat South Africa and are now eyeing a record-extending sixth World Cup title.
