Sri Lanka’s loss to New Zealand did not work for them as they were unable to continue their WTC campaign.

ICC WTC 2023 Final: Date and Venue
The final match of the ICC WTC Championship qualifiers, India and Australia is scheduled to take place on June 7, 2023, at Kennington Oval in London, UK. Both Team India and Team Australia are looking forward to the final.
Recently, Australian cricket star Ricky Ponting spoke out about the final. He said, “I think this will be India’s top game against Australia’s fast bowling. That’s a bit of an astonishing thought going forward.” Australia is confident in its ability to defeat India in the upcoming final matches. Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, who currently play county cricket, add strength to Australia’s batting line-up.
Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team has high hopes on Ajinkya Rahane’s return to the national Test team. The batsman, who is currently playing for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023, has performed brilliantly in the domestic cricket tournament, showing a resurgence in his form.
With strong players on both teams, it will be spectacular to see who will eventually be crowned champions.
