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