India vs Australia – ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Australia will face off against India in the 51st game of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match is set to take place at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia, and will begin at 8:15 PM NST on June 24.

India has been outstanding in the tournament so far, remaining undefeated and nearly securing a spot in the semifinals. They secured a decisive victory over Bangladesh in their last game and, with a strong run rate, are almost certain to advance even if they lose to Australia.

Australia, meanwhile, suffered a surprising 21-run defeat to Afghanistan, putting their tournament hopes in jeopardy. To stay in the competition, Australia must win against India. If they lose and Afghanistan beats Bangladesh, Australia will be eliminated from the tournament.

The pitch will be a decent wicket to bat, however, with overcast conditions around, the pacers can get some help. Also, spinners will be effective when the ball gets soft. A score of 170-180 will be a good fighting total.

The weather is not very promising and there is rain expected during the match. The temperature will range between 32 and 27 degrees.
