India sailed through to the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final setting up a blockbuster clash with England in a repeat of the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final in Adelaide.
India beat Australia by 24 runs in a high-scoring affair at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia to remain unbeaten in the competition, while Australia are now on the verge of elimination and their fate depends on Afghanistan vs Bangladesh match later in the day. With Australia’s loss, the equation is simple: Afghanistan need a win to qualify for the final 4 and eliminate Australia. If Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 61 runs or more or chase in 13 overs., they will make it to the final four. But Any margin lesser than that, Australia will go through.
