The highly anticipated Super 8 match between India and Australia in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will take place on June 24 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia at 8 p.m. IST. This match is crucial for India, as a win will keep their unbeaten streak and potentially knock Australia out of the tournament, offering a chance for revenge after Australia's victory in the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
On November 19, 2023, Australia defeated India at Narendra Modi Stadium, leaving Indian fans and legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in tears. If India wins this match, Australia will be left with two points from three games and will have to rely on Bangladesh defeating Afghanistan to advance to the semifinals.
