Excited to watch the thrilling match of India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final, Raveena Tandon wished the Men in Blue all the best. She said, "All the very best team India. Lehra do Tiranga. Go get it. Jai Hind Jai Bharat."
Nushrratt Bharuccha said, "It's the World Cup final, like everyone I am super excited about the match. Till now, India performed so well in the World Cup. They won not by normal runs but made 100 or 150 runs. Bowling is top-notch. Mohammed Shami took 5-6 wickets in the matches. I couldn't be more proud of this whole team. Best Indian team. We will win the World Cup trophy."
Coming to India's match, the Men in Blue will lock horns with Australia on Sunday in Ahmedabad.
This will be a 20-year-old repeat clash of the 2003 World Cup Final when the two cricket-enthusiast nations faced each other and India will be aiming to reverse the result of the last encounter.
India stormed into the finals after registering a comprehensive 70-run victory over New Zealand on Wednesday. After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill's explosive start, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer scored a ton each to put India on course of a massive target.
KL Rahul arrived to apply the finishing touches to power India to a score of 397/4. Mohammed Shami's spell saw him clinch a seven-wicket haul to derail the Kiwis and seal India's trip to Ahmedabad.
In the second semifinal, South Africa made Australia sweat to reach the humble target of 213. The five-time champions slipped in their chase of the paltry target but recovered just in time to cross the finish line.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc held their nerves to take the five-time champions to the final against India.
