India vs Australia in T20 World Cup 2024 Group 1 Super 8 fixture at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia will most likely ensure on of the two teams from the Group a place in the semi-final today before Afghanistan take on Bangladesh. However, there now seems to be a big question mark on the match itself with the weather prediction for the game being a bit of an iffy affair.
If India win against Australia, they will make it to the semi-final by virtue of finishing top of the table. But, if Australia manage to win, they will keep their chance of semi-final qualification alive, but they will be nervously awaiting the outcome of the Bangladesh vs Afghanistan fixture. Australia have to beat India at any cost to make the semis and a loss will dent their chances. But, there is heavy rain prediction at St Lucia on matchday, and that makes things tricky, for Australia especially.
