Interesting prediction regarding the winner of the Cricket World Cup 2023, the famous cricketer had predicted the World Cup final between India and Australia several months ago. Australian batsman Mitchell Marsh predicted several months ago that Australia and India will meet in the final of the 2023 World Cup, with the Kangaroos handing India a crushing defeat.
According to Mitchell Marsh, in the final of the World Cup, Australia will score 450 runs while batting first, while in pursuit of the target, the Indian team will pile up for only 60 runs. On the other hand, surprising similarities between the cricket teams of India and Australia in the World Cup 2003 and 2023 began to emerge. In the World Cup 2003, Australia won 10 consecutive matches before the final, while in the World Cup 2023, India also repeated the same performance and won 10 consecutive matches before the final.
Similarly, in the World Cup 2003 played in South Africa, the Indian team was defeated by Australia in the group match, while in the current World Cup, the Kangaroos were heavily defeated by India in the group match played in Chennai. To reach the finals of the 2003 World Cup, India won 8 matches, while in the current World Cup 2023, Australia has won 8 matches and made it to the finals.
Rahul Dravid, the head coach of the current Indian team, surprised everyone with his skills as a part-time wicketkeeper in the 2003 World Cup. He not only kept wickets but also scored 318 runs in 11 matches. And Rahul (KL Rahul) made history by repeating the wicket keeping of the Indian team, Rahul was selected as the wicket keeper of the Indian team in the absence of Rishabh Pant, he also scored 386 runs in 10 matches.
In 2003, Rahul Dravid was the vice-captain of the Indian team, while in the 2023 World Cup, KL Rahul is the vice-captain of the team. In 2003 and 2023, a striking similarity has also been seen in scoring the most runs by an Indian player in a single edition of the mega event. In 2003, Sachin Tendulkar set the world record by scoring 673 runs, while in the 2023 World Cup, Virat Kohli set the world record by scoring 711 runs, while there is still one match left. It should be noted that the final of Cricket World Cup 2023 between India and Australia will be played on November 19 in Ahmedabad.
