The final match of the ongoing second edition of the ICC World Test Championship will be played between India and Australia at The Oval from Wednesday. While India had unsuccessfully contested in the final of the inaugural edition as well, table-toppers Australia have qualified this time round on the back of being the only team with 60+ percentage points.

In addition to the Indian cricket team, another similarity between the two WTC finals is England hosting them. Although not in Southampton on this occasion, a marquee match being played at a marque cricketing venue further adds to the noteworthiness of the occasion.
If truth be told, the prospect of two fierce rivals clashing at a neutral venue minimizes all their strengths especially with respect to playing at home. On the contrary, a never-seen-before prospect of an India-Australia Test being played in England further adds to the intrigue factor ahead of this high-profile encounter.
