The Fact India: The final match of the much-awaited World Test Championship (WTC) between India and Australia will begin on June 7. The teams of both the countries have reached for this match starting at 3:30 pm at The Oval ground in London. The team that wins the WTC Final will also become the first team to win the trophy for all ICC tournaments. In the second championship starting from 2021, India and Australia have become the top two teams of the table. That’s why the second final is being played between them.
The first World Test Championship started in 2020. In 2021, the first final was played between India and New Zealand in England. The title was then won by New Zealand. Let’s have a look at which team has the upper hand in the final match of WTC starting from 7th June. Talking about batting, the Australian team is heavy on India.
Four batsmen from the Kangaroo team scored more than 1000 runs this season, while none of the batsmen from the Indian camp could cross the 1000-run mark. The top-5 run scorers of 2022 also have the names of two Australian players. This includes Usman Khawaja (1608 runs) and Marnus Labushen (1509 runs). Cheteshwar Pujara is the top scorer from India, but he is at number 19 in the list of top batsmen of this champion.
Comparing both the countries at the level of bowling, the weakness of the Indian batting is the fast bowling. Fast bowlers have taken the maximum number of wickets against India. Although the top wicket taker against India is Australian spinner Nathan Lyon. There are five fast bowlers in Team India, out of which four are believed to be playing. Among them are Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Umesh Yadav. All four have experience of playing in England.
Although Australia has a better win percentage than India in WTC, it is far behind in the Test series against India. India has won the last four Test series between the two countries. These include two series in the current season of WTC. Australia has not won a Test series from India in the last seven years.
