PM Modi, Australian Deputy PM To Attend World Cup Cricket Final In Gujarat

An official release said Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel held a high level meeting in Gandhinagar on Friday to oversee security and and other arrangements for the match, which will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will attend the match on Sunday. Chief Minister Patel reviewed security and other arrangements with top officials,” the release said.

The release said police officials informed the CM about the elaborate arrangements in place for the smooth conduct of the match, including the deployment of 4,500 personnel to provide security to the ground, teams, VIPs and to take care of traffic management.

The Chief Minister instructed officials to ensure common people do not suffer due to VIP movement and asked them to provide proper information about closed roads and diversions to people in advance, the release said.

The Chief Minister also asked the officials to increase the frequency of metro trains running towards Motera station (near the stadium) for the convenience of fans, who are expected to reach the city from different parts of the country and abroad as well.

While the Indian team reached here on Thursday evening, the Australian team reached the city on Friday.

The Indian team held a practice session at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.

The Indian Air Force’s renowned Surya Kiran aerobatics team is scheduled to put up an air show ahead of the game on Sunday

BCCI and ICC have invited all the World Cup winning captains to honour them. There will be a champion’s parade at the stadium and a short reel will be shown to introduce the captains. Imran Khan will be missing at the stadium.

It’s the day of reckoning for India and Australia as the two cricketing giants clash in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium in the final of the Cricket World Cup 2023. India, who are unbeaten in the competition, won all 9 league matches before beating New Zealand to book their ticket to the final. Australia, on the other hand, suffered defeats in their opening two matches before winning the next 8 on the bounce to set up a clash in the final with the hosts. As the two teams square off in Ahmedabad, the contest will not be limited to that between the bat and the ball.

Ahmedabad Pitch Report:Ever since the first semi-final between India and New Zealand, the pitch has been in focus. ICC’s independent pitch consultant Andy Atkinson accused the BCCI of swapping the pitch in the last minute before the start of the semi-final. But, the talks cooled after the ICC issued a clarification on the matter. But, since the incident, the eyes of the entire cricketing spectrum have been on the pitch for the final.

The pitch which is likely to be used in the final, has also been used in the India-Pakistan game in this World Cup before. It sported a darkish hue, a characteristic of a black soil surface. Such a surface would mean a lower bounce and some slow turn. It has to be noted that the teams chasing have won three of the four games at this ground in this World Cup. Dew will also be a factor here, unlike some other venues in this World Cup. The average first innings score at the Narendra Modi stadium in this World Cup is 251.

Ahmedabad Weather Report:Rain hasn’t had much say in the World Cup, with the second semi-final between Australia and South Africa being the only one to have had some sort of impact. As India take on the Aussies in the final in Ahmedabad, the skies are expected to remain clear.

According to AccuWeather, there are zero percent chances of rain at the venue today. Even the cloud cover will be zero percent for the day. A full 100-over contest is a certainty, meaning the reserve day wouldn’t be required

India are playing Australia in the final of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

A lot at is stake. The Rohit Sharma-led side aim for their third World Cup title while Aussies play in their eighth final, looking to lift the trophy for the record-extending sixth time.

The largest cricket stadium in the world, the Narendra Modi stadium, provides the best setting for this big clash to take place.

Plenty of stars are in action in this clash including Virat Kohli, who just complete 50 ODI tons, and David Warner. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood will ask some questions in the opening spell to India batters. On the other hand, India’s bowling attack has been on song too throughout the tournament.

The Men in Blue will start as hot favourites but watch out for Aussies who are big match players and know how to win finals.
