On the eve of the final, Scott Morrison took to social media, tagging PM Modi as he backed his country to lift the trophy. PM Modi replied to the tweet, saying, "Like the Blue Mountains, MCG will also be Blue tomorrow." While 4-time world champions Australia will be eyeing a fifth title in front of their home fans at the MCG, India will look to script history by looking to win their maiden title in front of a record crowd.
