The group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 has proved to be disappointing for many big teams and the Indian cricket team has had to struggle a lot during this time. However, Team India became the first team from its group to qualify for the next round i.e. Super-8. Team India defeated the USA in its third match and thus the team reached the second round with 3 consecutive wins. Team India will have 3 more teams in the Super-8 group. Out of which only one name has been decided and that is Australia.
Team India defeated America
On Wednesday, June 12, Team India defeated hosts USA by 7 wickets in their third match of Group A at Nassau County. Like every previous match played on this ground, this match was also low-scoring, where batting proved to be quite difficult in both innings. Bowling first, the Indian team restricted the USA to just 110 runs. After this, Team India won even after losing the wickets of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma early. In this way the team reached the next round.
India-Australia in one group
Now the question is who will be in the group with Team India? First of all, know that there will be 2 groups of 4 teams in Super-8. In this, Team India is in Group-1. Now the coincidence is that so far apart from Team India, only Australia has been able to make it to the Super-8 and both are in Group-1. Because before the tournament started, ICC had decided the seeding of the top-8 teams according to the ranking of the teams. Due to its high ranking, Team India was above Pakistan in Group-A, so they have been given A1 seed. Similarly, in Group B, England got B1 seed and Australia got B2 seed. Similarly, the seeding of the remaining groups is also decided.
When will India-Australia clash?
Now A1, B2, C1 and D2 have been placed in Group-1 of the Super-8 round. In this way, India and Australia are in the same group and now both will face each other in the next round. Now the remaining two teams of this group are yet to be decided but it is certain that Team India and Australia will face each other. Now the question is when and where will this match take place? There is an answer to this too. India will take on Australia on Monday 24 June at the Darren Sammy International Stadium in St. Lucia. Both the teams will face each other for the first time after the final of the ODI World Cup 2023 on November 19 and it is expected that this time Rohit Sharma's team will win.
