How can India defeat Australia in the final?

Australia as a team is definitely on the track of victory but there are some flaws in its camp which Team India can take advantage of to win the title.

Flaw-1: Spinners gave an average of 3 wickets per match, worst among top-8 teams.
In the World Cup 2023, Australian batsmen gave 30 wickets to spinners, which is the worst against Netherlands and England in the tournament. Even in the semi-finals, the team lost 3 important wickets in the middle overs against Tabrez Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj.

India has 2 world class spinners in Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. Together, both have taken 31 wickets in the tournament. Even in the league stage, Indian spinners had sent 6 Australian batsmen to the pavilion. The spinners had spent runs at an economy of only 3.5 in 30 overs.

Flaw-2: Lost 38 wickets in the middle overs, Smith-Labuschagne is playing at a strike rate of 80.
Australia's batting is weak between 11 and 40 overs. During this period in the World Cup, the team loses 1 wicket in every 41 runs. The team lost 38 wickets during this period, which is the highest among the teams playing the semi-finals.

India has taken 47 wickets in the middle overs, which is the best among 10 teams after South Africa. Team India's economy of 4.78 and average of 26.62 is the best among the 10 teams. Australia's weak batting in the middle overs can disintegrate in front of Indian bowling.

Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith have batted very slowly throughout the World Cup. Labuschagne scored at a strike rate of 75.62 and Smith at 81.86, which is the lowest among the top-6 batsmen of the team. The rest of the batsmen maintain a strike rate of more than 100, but Labuschagne and Smith slow down the scoring rate with their slow batting. This strategy may work on the Kolkata pitch but in Ahmedabad this strategy can reduce Australia's score.

Flaw-3: Could take only 13 wickets in the first 10 overs, average of 46
Australia's bowlers could take only 13 wickets in the first 10 overs, which is the worst among the teams playing the semi-finals. The team gets one wicket in 46 balls. In the league stage, Australia's bowlers had given 3 shocks to India for just 2 runs. But after that with the new ball the team could take only 10 wickets in 9 matches.

In the semi-finals, the team had taken 4 wickets for 24 runs in the first 12 overs, but due to the rainy season, the fast bowlers got help. There is no possibility of this kind of weather in Ahmedabad.

Between 1 and 10 overs, India has scored 654 runs at a strike rate of 109 in the World Cup, which is the highest among the 10 teams. The team gives one wicket after scoring 65 runs, in the remaining 9 teams the average of none is even touching 50. During this, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has hit 21 sixes and 42 fours, his 354 runs at a strike rate of 133 are the highest in the tournament.

Flaw-4: Only one specialist spinner, dependent on part-timer bowlers
Adam Zampa has taken 22 wickets for Australia in the World Cup, but he did not get the support of spin from the other end. The team has 2 part time spinners in Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head. Australia's spinners took 29 wickets in the World Cup but 76% of these wickets were in Zampa's name. Part time spinners like Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne together could take only 7 wickets.

India's batsmen lost only 10 wickets against the spinners in the tournament, which is the least among the 10 teams. New Zealand, which was at number two, lost 20 wickets. That is, Indian batsmen adopt aggressive form in front of spinners and give wickets after scoring 111 runs. Team India can attack against Zampa and force the part-time spinner to bowl. Where Australia is even more weak.

Flaw-5: 4 left handers including two openers present, Shami-Siraj sent 14 lefty pavilions
Both Australia's openers Travis Head and David Warner are left-handers, followed by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in the lower order, who are also lefties. Among Indian bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj bowl well against left-handed batsmen.

Shami takes one wicket for every 22 runs against left-handers. He has taken 30% of the wickets in his career only from left handers. He has dismissed 8 lefty batsmen in this World Cup. Here they are sending a left handed batsman to the pavilion in just 4 runs and 7 balls.
Siraj gives out 1 lefty batsman for every 21 runs. He has taken 35% of the wickets in his ODI career from left handers only. Even in the World Cup, he took half the wickets of lefty batsmen only. Against lefties, Siraj takes a wicket every 18 runs in the tournament.
