As the T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Australia approaches, the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia is set to host the Super Eights contest. Rohit Sharma’s Indian team currently leads Group 1 of the Super Eights with their victories against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The team is determined to perform well in this stage of the tournament and secure a spot in the semifinals, with the ultimate goal of ending India’s ICC trophy drought and winning their first T20 World Cup title since 2007.
India’s last match against Bangladesh saw them emerge victorious with a 50-run win at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. In contrast, Australia suffered a disappointing 21-run defeat against Afghanistan in their previous game. Hardik Pandya was instrumental in India’s success, scoring an unbeaten 50 runs from just 24 balls, while Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube also contributed valuable runs. Bangladesh struggled during their chase, with Najmul Hossain Shanto being the only batsman to stand out, scoring 40 runs from 32 balls. Kuldeep Yadav led India’s bowling attack, taking three wickets for 19 runs in his four-over spell, supported by Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah who picked up two wickets each. Despite Bangladesh’s efforts, India’s strong performance secured them a convincing victory.
