The closing ceremony was also announced a day before the final.

Another report says the International Cricket Council (ICC) has invited all World Cup-winning captains as guest of honour to the World Cup final. India’s two World Cup winning captains MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev are likely to be there alongside Clive Lloyd, Allan Border, Ricky Ponting among others. Eoin Morgan, England captain who won the last World Cup as captain, is already in India as part of the broadcast team.
The stadium will be packed with over 1,30,000 fans. It will be a spectacle for them as they get to witness entertainment of the highest quality. But all the eyes will be on Team India and Australia as these two sides look to increase the number of World Cup trophies in their cabinet.
