India played their first match against Australia in the group stage. Spin bowling all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has played in this one match in this World Cup. He put the Australian batsmen under a lot of pressure in that match.

He took only 1 wicket but gave a total of 34 runs. Australia again in front of India in the final? Australia's two openers, David Warner and Travis Head, are both left-handed. Will Ashwin return to the XI once again? Will Australia also enter the field with the eleven of the semi-finals in the final against India?

When the question of entering the Ashwin XI comes, this question also comes - who will play in place? Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Lokesh Rahul are five confirmed in the XI. Then Suryakumar Yadav came in to bat. There is no chance to keep the Sun out of the eleventh.

Then India's batting order will be somewhat weak. Ravindra Jadeja, Yashprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj are also confirmed in the XI. So Ashwin can be useful against Australia - there is a possibility that he will not make it into the playing XI. That is, India will enter the field with the eleven of the semi-finals.

Australia may consider Marcus Stoinis in place of Marnus Labuschagne. However, against such bowling attack of India, Australia should have more confidence in Labuchen. In that case, there is very little chance of a change in their XI. In other words, Labuschenne and Steve Smith can both be in the XI.

The final will be held on the same wicket as the India-Pakistan match in Ahmedabad. There is no threat of rain. The temperature may be around 30 degrees Celsius. Dew may have had an effect on the field later in the evening; Although some kind of chemical is sprayed on the grass to reduce it.

India's probable XI  is Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Lokesh Rahul (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj.

Australia's probable XI is Pat Cummins (captain), David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wicketkeeper), Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
