India Faces Australia In Decisive T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Clash

IND vs AUS T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: Rohit Sharma's India will face Australia in their third and final Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Monday, June 24. The match will commence at 8:00 PM IST.

India has secured victories in their first two games, making them strong contenders for a spot in the semi-finals. Their Net Run Rate (NRR) is also the highest in Super 8 Group 1. Conversely, Australia faced a setback after losing their second Super 8 match against Afghanistan by 21 runs on Sunday. Another defeat could severely impact their chances of advancing to the semi-finals.

"It's a fresh pitch. 69 meter and 66 meter square boundaries. 76 meters down the ground. Not much different to the pitch we saw the other night. England have the advantage of having played here. Don't think it really matters (bat first or bowl first). Expecting a good surface," Natalie Germanos and Michael Atherton commented ahead of the SA vs ENG Super 8 match - the last match at this venue.

In that game, South Africa scored 163/6 after being asked to bat first, marking the lowest first innings total at this venue during the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Pacer Jofra Archer took three wickets, while spinners contributed with two wickets. Heinrich Klaasen was run out.

England managed only 156/6 in response, losing by seven runs. South African pacers claimed four wickets and spinner Keshav Maharaj took two for just 25 runs in four overs. Adil Rashid of England was also economical on this pitch.

South African batter David Miller, who scored 43 off 28 balls, noted that the Kingstown pitch became "slower and slower" as he batted but still considered it a good surface.

The average innings score in the last five T20Is at Kingstown in St Lucia is 188. Teams winning the toss have chosen to bowl first 72 percent of the time over the past five years.
