India, led by Rohit Sharma, will face Mitchell Marsh’s Australia in the final Super Eight match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Monday, June 24, at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia.
A third consecutive win for India will not only make them the group leaders and advance them to the semifinals, but it would also significantly endanger Australia’s prospects of progressing to the semi-finals following the shock loss to Afghanistan.
