IND vs AUS, World Cup 2023 Final: In the clash of the titans, India will take on five-time champions Australia in the final of the World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 19.

The biggest white-ball superstars of the game will be on display during the high-pressure game which will be played at the largest cricket stadium on the planet. A nerve-wrecking final is very well on the cards between the two powerhouses of World Cup cricket.

India are unbeaten in the World Cup 2023. Their batters and bowlers are in top form. Australia lost their first two games only to bounce back and win the next eight matches to qualify for the World Cup 2023 final.

As we gear up for the intense battle between the bat and ball, let's have a look at players who can score most runs and pick maximum wickets in the match.

IND vs AUS: Who will score most runs in World Cup 2023 final

Shubman Gill: The young India opener loves playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The right-hander averages 74 across formats for India at the venue. Shubman Gill was racing towards his maiden World Cup when he had to leave the ground due to cramp issues in the semi-final against New Zealand.

He came back in the 50th over to add one more run and settle for 80 runs. In the match against Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium, the 24-year-old scored 92 runs. All the top batters except Gill have scored a hundred in the ongoing edition of the World Cup. He will look to add his name to the list.

Rohit Sharma: The Indian captain has been selfless throughout the tournament but still managed to score close to 600 runs. On Sunday, the 'Hitman' would be the biggest threat for Australia. In case, India gets to bat first, expect Rohit Sharma to be one of the contenders to score the most runs in the World Cup 2023 final.

Steve Smith: Former Australia batter Steve Smith is the man of big occasions. He hasn't impressed much in the tournament but played an extremely crucial knock under tough batting conditions against South Africa in the semi-final. Big players turn up their ante in big matches, India should look to come with a plan for the master batter who will be one of the contenders to score most runs in the final.

David Warner: Another Australia veteran David Warner has always done well in ICC events. The 37-year-old opener has scored 528 runs in 10 matches at an average of 52.80. Warner, an IPL legend, has a vast experience of playing in Indian conditions. The experienced campaigner would be looking to bring in all his experience.

IND vs AUS: Who will pick most wickets in World Cup 2023 final

Mohammed Shami: World Cup 2023's leading wicket-taker, Mohammed Shami looks like a man possessed at the moment. He has picked 23 wickets in just six matches at an average of 9.13. He did not play in the league match against Australia, and that could be a blessing in disguise for India.

The pressure will be on Australia against a speeding Mohammed Shami, one of the frontrunners to be named Man of the Tournament. Shami will be one of the bowlers who can pick the most wickets in the World Cup 2023 final.

Josh Hazlewood: While Mitchell Starc may garner the limelight, it is Josh Hazlewood who has looked more threatening and impactful in the World Cup 2023. His ability to consistently bowl tight and in a particular channel, will play on the minds of the India batters. He is Australia's leading wicket-taker with 14 scalps in 10 matches at an average of 27.79.

Kuldeep Yadav: Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has all the ability in the world to become the leading wicket-taker in the World Cup 2023 final on Sunday. In the league stage match against Australia. The 28-year-old has picked 15 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 24.53.

Mitchell Starc: India share a history with left-arm pacers in the ICC knockout matches. Billions of hearts will be pumping a bit fast, when Starc marks his run-up in the mega final. Starc has been at his best in the World Cup 2023 but has a habit of making it big in the big games. He has 13 wickets in 10 matches, and would look to take the most wickets in the World Cup 2023 final to improve his figures.
