WTC Final 2023 Telecast Channel: Where to watch and live streaming details in India
The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final 2023 will be played between India and Australia at The Oval from June 7 to 11. The Aussies finished first in the WTC league table with 152 points, while India (127 points) finished in second spot.
While Australia will be featuring in their maiden World Test Championship final, India will be playing in the summit clash for the second time. The Indians eased their way into the final during the inaugural WTC, but failed at the last hurdle, going down to New Zealand by eight wickets in Southampton in 2021.
India and Australia clashed in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India earlier this year. The hosts clinched the series 2-1, and with it also confirmed their place in the WTC final.
India have enjoyed tremendous success over Australia in recent years in the red-ball format. They registered their maiden Test series triumph Down Under in 2018-19 and also won the series in Australia in 2020-21.
Critics, though, reckon Aussies are favorites to win the 2023 WTC final since the one-off Test is being played in England.
