Root Cause
Technically, there is no version of JBoss EAP that corresponds exactly to any version of JBoss AS (i.e. community release) or Wildfly. JBoss EAP is maintained in an independent source code branch. Bugs are fixed in the current upstream community versions first but are often back-ported to earlier JBoss EAP releases in patches to provide Enterprise customers with consistent and stable software. WildFly was formerly known as JBoss AS.

Hi, on which WildFly release is based upcoming EAP7.3?
Wildfly 18
Please confirm which version of JBoss EAP would match with WildFly15 ?
None, as per the table above, EAP 7.2 was Wildfly 14, then updates/cumulative patches were made on top of EAP 7.2 to fix bugs and CVEs. Wildfly went into feature development in quarterly releases, working towards what would be the EAP 7.3 which is based on Wildfly 18.
I would like to know as well.
EAP7.3 beta has been released in August 2019. Do you know when EAP7.3 final is available?
