India faces Australia in the final match of the World Test Championship. The Indian team has reached the final of this championship for the second time in a row. In the first final, India had to face defeat against New Zealand. At the same time, the Australian team has reached the final of this championship for the first time and would like to win. The winning team here will be the first team in the world to have won the ICC trophy in all three formats.

So far New Zealand has won the only final of the Test Championship. However, the New Zealand team is yet to win the T20 or ODI World Cup. In such a situation, India and Australia have a chance to become the first team to win the ICC trophy in all three formats. Both these countries have won the ODI and T20 World Cups.


The weather will spoil the fun of the final again
There was a lot of trouble in the final of IPL 2023 due to the weather. Due to rain, the winner of IPL 2023 was found on 30 May instead of 28 May. The first day of the IPL final was washed away due to rain. Even on the reserve day, after a long wait, only 35 overs could be played and Chennai's innings was 15 overs. Now there is a shadow of rain in the final of the Test Championship as well. Although the weather is expected to be clear on the first day, there are chances of rain on the fourth and fifth days. In such a situation, if the match is drawn due to rain, then both teams will be declared joint winners.

One day reserve day
One-day reserve day has also been kept in the match. If the match is not completed in five days due to rain, it will be completed in the sixth additional day. It rained in the last final as well and the match was completed on the sixth day.

Pitch condition
Never before has a Test match been held at the Oval in early June. There will be opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers on the oval pitch. The pitch is likely to break up from the fourth day of the match and in such a situation spinners can also get help.

Prize money
13,21,00,000 (US$1,600,000) will be awarded to the winning team and the runner-up team will receive 06,60,000 (US$8,00,000) as prize money.
