India vs Australia T20 World Cup: India Eye Revenge and Semifinal Berth
India and Australia will clash in a crucial T20 World Cup match on Monday, with both teams aiming for a semifinal berth. India is the favorite heading into the match, having won their first two games convincingly. Australia, on the other hand, suffered a shock defeat to Afghanistan in their previous match.
India is expected to field an unchanged playing XI, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the bowling attack. Australia may consider bringing back Mitchell Starc, who was rested against Afghanistan.
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh knows that his team must overcome the mental scars of their defeat to Afghanistan. He believes that the team's short history of success will bring out the best in his players.
The Darren Sammy International Stadium in St Lucia has been a high-scoring venue, with scores ranging from 180-220. The weather forecast for Monday is partly sunny with a thunderstorm in parts of the area.
India has a strong record against Australia in T20Is, winning 12 of their 22 encounters. However, Australia has won the last two matches between the two teams.
A win for India will not only seal their place in the semifinals but also eliminate Australia from the tournament. It would also be a sweet revenge for India, who lost to Australia in the ODI World Cup final in November.
