In a highly anticipated final of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Australian captain Pat Cummins is preparing his team for a challenging encounter against the hosts and favourites, India.

Cummins comments on daunting final against hosts India at Narendra Modi Stadium

Ahead of the IND vs AUS clash, Cummins, in the pre-match press conference, acknowledged the intimidating prospect of playing against the Indian team in front of a largely one-sided crowd. He expressed that his team is aware of the biased fan support and the strength of the Indian side, but they are determined to play without any regrets, embracing the challenge head-on.

“It is going to be a packed house. The fans are going to be pretty one sided and we know that India are a quality side and they will come hard at us. The crowd is going to be one sided and you know whatever happens is fine. We just want to go without regrets,” said Cummins.

Coming to the World Cup 2023 campaigns, India's path to the final has been marked by consistent excellence, maintaining an unbeaten streak and securing a clinical win over New Zealand in the semifinals.

On the other hand, Australia has displayed remarkable character and spirit. Despite an uncertain start with two losses, they bounced back with seven consecutive wins and a thrilling victory over South Africa in their semifinal match.

The clash between these cricketing powerhouses, set against the backdrop of a packed and partisan Narendra Modi Stadium, promises to be a historic and thrilling finale to the tournament.
