As India and Australia prepare to face off in the final encounter of the World Test Championship, cricket experts and pundits are beginning to speculate who will come out on top. With the match set to start on June 7th, former cricketers are predicting that the Australian pace attack will be more lethal than the Indian attack.

Ravi Shastri on the Australian Pace Attack

Ravi Shastri, former Indian head coach, commented on the strength of the Australian attack, saying, “If Jasprit Bumrah was there in the Indian squad, I would have said that both bowling attacks are strong. But their (Australian attack) has Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.” This sentiment was echoed by former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and Pakistan’s legendary pacer Wasim Akram, both of whom have stated that the Aussie pace attack is superior to the Indian bowling line-up.

Who’s the Favourite?

The conditions at the Oval are similar to those in Australia, making the Aussies the slight favourites in the upcoming match. This is further supported by the fact that the Indian team have been practicing with multi-coloured balls, suggesting that the team is preparing for the unique conditions they will face in the match.

Conclusion

The upcoming match between India and Australia promises to be an exciting one, with the Aussies the slight favourites due to the strength of their pace attack and the conditions being similar to those in Australia. However, the Indian team have been preparing with multi-coloured balls, suggesting that they are ready to face the challenge. It remains to be seen who will come out on top in this thrilling encounter.
