India to face Australia in World Cup final
It will be a repeat of the 2003 World Cup, as the home side will take on mighty Australia in the final match in Ahmedabad. India defeated New Zealand in the first semi-final. On the other hand, the Aussies defeated South Africa in a low-scoring thriller to grab the final spot. Both sides have been exceptional in the tournament and will be looking to cross the final huddle on Sunday to grab the coveted trophy.
