It would be an extremely unfortunate thing if rain ends up leaving a mark on the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final. India and Australia both are in-form sides and an exciting clash is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium. However, fans would not need to worry if rain washes out the India vs Australia match on November 19. The ICC, in an earlier announcement, had stated that there would be reserve days for the semifinal and final of the World Cup. In that case, the India vs Australia match will resume on November 20.
In an extremely rare scenario of the reserve day getting washed out as well, India will win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy as they finished higher on the points table. The Men in Blue had finished with nine wins in as many matches, having 18 points and a superior Net Run Rate (NRR) of 2.570.
