Massive call from the Aussies to bowl first. Gut feeling is a bad shout but let's see how we go.
Don't care who wins, just want a good final.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Wow India, what a fantastic crowd for the final. Brilliant spectacle.
Solid fielding from Australia here.
Big wicket
Rohit is at a different level to any opener now. I have never seen a player absorb pressure at the top end like this and attack.
Sehwag wasn’t bad.
Gilchrist too
Kohli could cement his GOAT status with a big innings today. WC knockouts was the one thing you could hold against him.
Yeah imagine those 2 opening together.
I am enjoying the ad breaks. The cricket is giving me anxiety
Must say Australia have a terrific field placing. It is all about execution now for them.
That catch 
Hugeee wicket
feck
What a fecking catch!
Bowling first gamble has paid off in my opinion
2 down in the first 10, with how little batting depth India have is massive.
Huge pressure on Kohli and Iyer now to keep scoring without losing a wicket

fecking Travis Head, what a catch that was
And another, collapse on the cards here
C'mon Aussies, what a great start.
Okay might actually have a match on here.
Welcome to the show
Going tits up
Those 3 wickers have capped India score to a max of about 270 now.
3 gone in 11. Ladies and gentlemen we have ourselves a match.
Advantage Australia, heavily so.
Not good
Rahuls a massive bottler as well
As long as Kohli is in the middle - I would not be panicking for India
Aussies were in a similar ish position in the group stages and then Kohli took the game away.
Edit: it was actually these two that took the game away (Kohli and Rahul).

Well, I guess all these Kohli centuries have been leading up to this...
Easier doing that chasing a target of 200. India need to put up a target here
Feels like Australia are the best fielding side in the world at the moment?
Felt like that at the Ashes too.

Cummins is on fire. Bowling some really good stuff.
They've undoubtedly improved, the big match game raising feckers. At the start of the WC they were dropping catches for fun.
They were just pissing around at the start of this tournament I think. As soon as they needed to switch it on (after like 2 games) they have.
Aussies chasing 270/80/90 will make for a potentially brilliant final.
Cummins will bowl a restrictive legside line to Kohli. Worrying.
Almost 2 wickets in 2 balls
Almost 2 wickets in 2 balls
Brilliant 16 overs from both the sides. Gill and Iyer should be disappointed, especially gill. These two must stay atleast till 35th over. Cannot trust surya and all to save you.
