Ahmedabad - The World Cup final sees a rematch of arguably the two most successful cricket teams in history, marking their second encounter in the tournament's pinnacle. Two decades ago, in a showdown led by Ricky Ponting, Australia's formidable cross-format team dismantled India. This time around, the narrative has shifted, with India positioned as the dominant force and Australia embracing the role of resilient underdogs. Let's delve into the potential turning points of this match.

Set against the backdrop of the Narendra Modi Stadium, the historic World Cup final holds particular significance for India as they seek redemption from their 2003 defeat at the hands of Australia. India's current impressive 10-game winning streak mirrors the past dominance once exhibited by Australia, setting the stage for a captivating clash.

As the Men in Blue emerge as the favorites, their primary goal is to bring an end to a prolonged trophy drought. On the flip side, Australia, appearing in their eighth final, is prepared for a formidable challenge.
