Australia's pace spearhead Mitchell Starc said that the five-time champions are ready to take on India, the only unbeaten side in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The two powerhouses will meet in Sunday's final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Starc took three wickets in Australia's semi-final win over South Africa. After the match, the 33-year-old said "We want to take on the best. They've been the best in the tournament so far and we both find ourselves in the finals. So that's what World Cups are about. You want to take on the best throughout and we certainly come up against a team that have obviously led from the front through the tournament and they're undefeated." (Video: ICC)
