Add as a preferred source on Google

Team India will look to put 2021 disappointment behind and seal the ICC World Test Championship title when they face Australia in the WTC Final 2023 at the Kennington Oval in London, starting on Wednesday (June 7).

India, who qualified for the WTC final for the second successive time, had suffered an 8-wicket loss to New Zealand in the inaugural edition that was held at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, England in June 2021.

Rohit Sharma-led India head into the match on the back of a 2-1 series win at home against Australia, who also last played in the red format during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 in India earlier this year.

When the two sides met in India earlier this year, spin played a huge role, but the conditions may be different at the Kennington Oval in London, which will host a match as a neutral venue for the very first time.

India and Australia, who have met over a 100 times in the longest format, will also meet for the first time at The Oval in a red ball game, but the venue has hosted over a hundred Test matches so far. Here is a look at the Kennington Oval Stats and Record ahead of India vs Australia WTC Final:
