As we reach Day 5 of the WTC 2023 Final, it is crucial for Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane to remain at the crease for an extended period since India still requires 280 runs to secure victory. Losing a wicket at this stage would significantly favor the Australian team.
The summit clash is a five-day Test match that commenced on June 7 and is scheduled to conclude on June 11, with June 12 serving as the reserve day in case of inclement weather. This match is notable for being the first-ever neutral Test match and the first Test match played in the month of June at The Oval. The venue has a historical significance, hosting its first Test match in 1880.
For viewers interested in watching the WTC 2023 Final, it will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network. Additionally, the match can be streamed live on the Disney+Hotstar app and website.

Assisting them as the TV umpire will be Richard Kettleborough from England.
