The highly anticipated ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2023 will feature a clash between cricket powerhouses India and Australia. The match is scheduled to take place at The Oval in London from June 7 to 11. This will be Australia’s first appearance in the WTC final, while India will be playing in the summit clash for the second time.
Australia secured their spot in the final by finishing at the top of the WTC league table with 152 points. India, with 127 points, secured the second spot. India had previously reached the final in the inaugural WTC but were defeated by New Zealand in 2021 in Southampton.
The WTC final will be a momentous occasion for both teams, with India looking to redeem themselves after their loss to New Zealand in the previous final. India has had recent success against Australia in the red-ball format, notably securing their first-ever Test series victory Down Under in 2018-19 and following it up with another series win in Australia in 2020-21.
Cricket fans in India can catch the live telecast of the WTC final on the Star Sports network channels. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). The telecast will be available on channels such as Star Sports 1, Star Sports 2, Star Sports 3, Star Sports 1 Hindi, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 2 HD, Star Sports 1 Hindi HD, Star Sports 1 Tamil, Star Sports 1 Telugu, and Star Sports 1 Kannada.
For those who prefer online streaming, the live streaming of the WTC final between India and Australia will be available on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website. Unlike the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches in 2023, the WTC final will require a subscription to Disney+ Hotstar. The streaming platform offers various subscription plans, including Premium (₹299/month and ₹1499/year), Super (₹899/year), and Super+ ad-free (₹1099/year).
