Australia vs India, 51st Match, Super 8 Group 1 - Live



When: Australia vs India, June 24, 10.30 AM Local, 20.00 hrs IST (June 24) 00.30 am (June 25) AEST


Where: Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Beausjour, Saint Lucia

What to expect: St Lucia has continued to remain the most humid of all islands throughout while being the best place to bat in during this World Cup. In a tournament, where the vagaries in conditions have had quite a say, the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground has been one where most teams have thrived, and it serves as probably the best venue to host this highly-billed battle, especially now with the stakes so high.


There was a heavy shower overnight in the island but it is expected to clear out even if it is set to be a rather windy morning.

Head-to-Head in T20 World Cups: Played 5, India 3, Australia 2

Team Watch:

Australia:



As much as Ashton Agar's selection predicated, the decision to leave Mitchell Starc out has caused a lot of discussion back in Australia, especially considering he'd seemed in fine form and only taken over from Lasith Malinga as the fast bowler with the most World Cup (50 over and T20 combined) wickets in his previous game. Expect a direct swap with Starc coming back for this big game.

Probable XI: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh (c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

India:

India have more or less settled in on what was touted to be their best XI before the tournament began once they moved to the Caribbean from the USA. And the presence of Kuldeep Yadav in conditions where the batters will try going after everything will be key after the left-arm wrist spinner had to wait his turn to get into the World Cup. You'd expect them to go in with the same XI that played against Bangladesh, especially given the lack of assistance from the pitch for fast bowlers.

Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

Squads:

India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal

Australia Squad: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh(c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Ashton Agar, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis
