AUS vs IND Probable 11: Rohit Sharma-led India will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak in the T20 World Cup 2024 as they are set to face Australia in their third Super 8 clash in the tournament on June 24 at Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia.
AUS vs IND Probable 11
The T20 World Cup 2024 is set to feature one of the biggest clashes between India and Australia in the 51st game of the tournament. India is currently unbeaten in the tournament while Australia will return to the game after losing their previous game against Afghanistan.
Previously, both sides have clashed in the big stages of the ICC tournaments ODI World Cup 2023 and WTC 2023 finals where the Australian team secured victories. Despite winning a match against Australia in the ODI World Cup group stage last year, India will aim to get back at Australia during the clash at St Lucia. The Men in Blues has a good record against Australia in the T20 World Cups with three wins out of 5 matches they played.
On the other hand, Australia will be confident to get a win in the upcoming clash after their record against India in ICC matches. Australia requires victory if they need to stay alive in the competition for the Semifinals.
