Reports: Dua Lipa to not perform in Ahmedabad's World Cup closing night

The highly anticipated final of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 is scheduled to take place at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between India and Australia on Sunday, November 19.

Fans are eagerly looking forward to the match, and rumours were circulating about a potential performance by Hollywood pop icon Dua Lipa at the closing ceremony of the marquee event. These rumours stemmed from the singer's interaction with cricketers Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Kane Williamson on November 15.

However, it has been said that Dua Lipa will not be performing at the 2023 World Cup final. 

"Dua Lipa won't be performing at the 2023 World Cup Final," Mufaddal wrote on his 'X'.
