Highlights
With just one day left in the final game, it was another exhilarating day of Test cricket. The stakes are high since India has to score 280 runs and Australia needs 7 wickets to win on Day 4 of the WTC 2023 Final. During the morning session, the Australian team adopted a conservative strategy, adding just 78 runs to their total at the cost of two wickets. After lunch, though, they started to bat more forcefully. Carey and Starc contributed 93 runs for the seventh wicket while demonstrating exceptional partnering abilities. As a result, Cummins was able to declare boldly, giving the Test match one and a half sessions.
The Indian openers showed off their quick scoring skills while up against a challenging objective. Unfortunately, Green dismissed one of the Indian batters at the stroke of tea with an outstanding catch at gully. However, Rohit and Pujara showed off their strong play in the last session and kept India’s scoreboard moving. However, they lost steam when Lyon delivered the first over and the Indian skipper, Kohli, fell to him while attempting a sweep shot.
Pujara produced an unusual shot in the very next over and then followed his skipper back to the pavilion. These victories gave Australia hope, but Kohli’s successor, Rahane, and he made sure that there were no more losses. They displayed fluid batting technique and combined for a strong partnership of 71 runs.

Despite an injured finger, Rahane supported Kohli in a crucial partnership. Test fans eagerly await tomorrow’s action.
Day 4 of the WTC 2023 Final: Controversial Call of Gill’s Wicket
Controversial Call from Boland to Shubman as Gill departs. The umpires consult and decide that Gill should be sent upstairs to be checked for a clean catch. When viewed from the front, the camera angle isn’t excellent. The third umpire examines the ball and remarks, “Fingers underneath the ball.” But once more, the appearance of this camera perspective is poor. He has made up his mind. Gill must go when the word OUT shows on the large screen. Gill must go when the word OUT shows on the large screen. As he keeps hitting that decent length around off stump, Boland has him once more.
Day 4 of the WTC 2023 Final: AUS Delcare After a Good Score
After Starc was dismissed, Cummins decided to step out to bat, although he only stayed in the game for three balls. But by declaring their innings, Australia made a brave decision, giving India a daunting goal of 444 runs to win the World Test Championship. India would need to beat the existing world record for the highest fourth-inning chase on an unexpected and difficult pitch in order to accomplish this achievement. Australia’s prospects of winning hinge on sustaining a decent over-rate with 47 overs remaining in the day and possibly 90 more tomorrow.
