Ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023 final set to be played between India and Australia in Ahmedabad, the world cricket governing body has listed five match-ups that could be decisive in the summit clash.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has listed 5 match-ups that could be decisive in the World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Number one in this list is Virat Kohli vs Josh Hazlewood. It was Hazlwood who dismissed Kohli in the two sides' earlier face-off in the tournament. (Image Credit: Getty)

Number 2 match-up which could be decisive, as per the ICC shortlist, is Rohit Sharma vs Mitchell Starc. Rohit's vulnerability against left-arm pacers is well-documented but he has taken the attacking approach against bowlers of such kind in this tournament, which has paid rich dividends so far.

Glenn Maxwell vs Kuldeep Yadav is yet another match-up that would be the key. Maxwell has had trouble picking wrist spin and was dismissed by Kuldeep himself in the two teams meeting earlier in the tournament in Chennai. (Image Credit: Getty)

Similarly, Steven Smith against Ravindra Jadeja will be a mouth-watering matchup. Overall, Jadeja has dismissed Smith five times in 2023 alone across formats which would be on the back of the mind of the Australian batter. (Image Credit: Getty)

Mohammed Shami vs David Warner is the final match up as per the ICC shortlist that could prove to be decisive. Shami averages 4.00 against left-handers in this World Cup. (Image Credit: Getty)
