T20 World Cup 2024: Team India vs Australia Preview, Probable Playing XI And More

Rohit Sharma's team currently tops the group with two wins from two games, while Australia suffered a surprising defeat to Afghanistan on June 23. This makes the upcoming match a must-win for Australia, as a loss would eliminate them from the competition if Afghanistan also beats Bangladesh.

India also faces a slight risk of elimination if Australia wins by a large margin and Afghanistan defeats Bangladesh by a significant margin.

This article will cover the match preview, pitch report, probable XI, and broadcasting details for the India-Australia clash.

IND vs AUS Pitch Report

The Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia has so far been a batting-friendly surface, with teams posting scores of over 200 runs. The pitch offers extra support to fast bowlers, especially with the new ball, while spinners receive minimal assistance. Therefore, the toss-winning captain would ideally choose to bowl first.
