No Indian Cricket fan would have forgotten the night of 19th November 2023 when Australia defeated India in India and took the ICC ODI World Cup trophy in front of a Hundred and forty crore Indians. Now, India have a chance to yank Australia from the ICC T20 World Cup qualification race.
For Australia, Mitch Marsh, the Australian Captain said “We just need to win, and there’s no better team to do it against.”
Australia need to win this game in order to cement their qualification for the Semifinals. If they don’t win or even if the match gets washed away, their qualification will depend upon the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh match.
Australia were high on confidence and performance right from the start of the competition and they secured five straight wins. But they also faced a defeat against Afghanistan in their last outing which has made their path a bit harsh now as they have to defeat the undefeated Indian Cricket team to lock qualification seats.
India, on the other hand, are in quite comfortable condition right now. They just can not lose this game and they are playing the Semifinal. Even if the rain washes the game away, India will be qualified for the semifinals but a match of this high caliber should take place and India have a lot to prove.
