India and Australia will play in the 51st match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia on Monday, June 24. This matchup is one of the most anticipated matches of the competition.
In the Super Eight round of the competition, India triumphed magnificently over Bangladesh and Afghanistan, while Australia just suffered a setback against Afghanistan, placing them in a precarious position ahead of their encounter with Rohit Sharma & Co.
India’s opportunity to redeem itself for the ODI World Cup 2023 may lie in the match against Australia, as a loss would guarantee the Australians’ expulsion from the competition. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra felt the same way, believing the Men in Blue have a fantastic opportunity to defeat the 2021 champs.
“The time we’ve been waiting for is finally here. Australia can be defeated by us. We can end Australia’s tournament if we win, in addition to finishing first. It may be Australia’s Tata goodbye, but it won’t ensure it. Aakash Chopra stated in a video posted to his YouTube channel, “It is feasible.”

Australia was defeated by Afghanistan. Afghanistan was asked to bat first in the game, and they scored a lot of runs on the pitch’s turning action. The latest game has become quite exciting as a result of them restricting Australia, winning the match, and giving them a slight defeat,” he continued.
Australia was recently taken aback by the Afghans’ remarkable display and successful outcome. Afghanistan won the game by 21 runs after Australia scored 148 runs in the first innings after winning the toss. Gulbadin Naib and Naveen-ul-Haq claimed four and three wickets, respectively, and restricted Australia to a score of 127.
However, India has won handily against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, and a victory versus Australia will advance the team into the tournament’s final rounds.
