India claims another scalp as Prasidh Krishna strikes again to remove Travis Head off stump with an impressive delivery from Prasidh Krishna – marking a third scalp for India in this over as the Aussies scramble desperately in hope of mounting any kind of comeback.

Matthew Wade hit two sixes in one over, as Australia attempted a comeback against India’s bowlers. But his efforts soon fizzled out as Jasprit Bumrah took down Matthew after getting hit in the stomach and being taken down at slip.
India’s Total
India got off to an explosive start on an ideal pitch for batting. Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 92 helped India post an unrivaled total against Australia of 205/5 within 20 overs – the joint-highest total ever reached in T20 World Cup matches!
Australian bowlers struggled to contain Indian batsmen as they hit them all over the ground. Even after losing pacer Mitchell Starc early in the powerplay period, wickets from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami helped Australia recover strongly.
Indian batsmen weren’t done yet as they continued their dominance of the match. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul combined for an astounding 165-run stand to seal it for India; their second fifty-plus stand of this tournament after previously posting 66 runs against England earlier in the competition.
India and Australia has one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket history, producing unforgettable moments along the way. Over 102 tests, 143 ODIs and 27 T20Is they have competed against one another; Australia have usually come out on top but India have proven formidable when playing T20 matches.
Rohit Sharma will play his final T20 match before retiring at the end of 2016. He has been an incredible influence on our team and will be sorely missed. Rohit was named Batsman of the Tournament during this T20 World Cup and his performance has been supported by an excellent bowling attack led by fast-bowler Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah; all have played key roles to ensure India remains one of the leading contenders for title while spinner Ravindra Jadeja provided additional spin.
Australia’s Total
India-Australia cricket matches are an iconic part of world cricket, known for their stunning batting performances and contentious antics between fans. Unfortunately, such incidents no longer take place but the rivalry remains strong between both nations.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli open India’s innings and get off to an excellent start, scoring five runs in their opening over. Australia’s Mitchell Marsh was out in his fourth over when he attempted to hit Kuldeep Yadav over deep square leg but Axar Patel caught it brilliantly from cover.
Josh Hazlewood struck in the eighth over, when he successfully removed Rahul Tripathi for just one run while bowling another tight over, conceding only one more run than before. At that stage Australia’s batsmen were struggling, yet Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis turned their innings around through an impressive 67-run partnership between themselves to steady Australia’s innings for them.
India were then able to strike back in the 17th over, as Jasprit Bumrah bowler Travis Head off a misjudged big shot that hit into the crowd behind the stumps and went tumbling down into their hands. Australia eventually all out for 181/7; falling short by 24 runs of their target. Australia will face Bangladesh again in their final matchup and are in desperate need of victory to advance further in the tournament and secure their place in the semifinals.
Key Highlights of National Cricket Teams
Rohit Sharma’s impressive innings of 92 propelled India into the semi-finals with an easy 24 run win against Australia at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. Slamming eight sixes during his 41-ball blitz, Sharma led India to their highest ever score 205-5 which Travis Head steered them towards in their chase but it eventually came up short as Australia finished 191-9 after 20 overs.
Even after an impressive opening by both openers, Australia is struggling with bat and ball. Their top order appears scattered and it looks unlikely they can pull off a miracle win.
Australia needs to beat India to keep themselves alive in this tournament; otherwise they’d need Bangladesh and Afghanistan both winning to create three-way tie on four points between themselves, Australia, and Bangladesh/Afghanistan that leaves all three tied on four points for two spots at the bottom. A loss against India would require them to depend on a miracle for qualification.
Glenn Maxwell attempts a big shot but mistimes it and Jasprit Bumrah takes an excellent catch in the deep. India’s spinners have begun making inroads into Australia’s batting lineup; Prasidh uprooting Marcus Stoinis’ stumps in his next over.
Conclusion
India National Cricket Team and Australia were locked in an exciting, nail-biting contest that left spectators on edge. Fans witnessed some incredible batting and bowling performances by both teams before India eventually emerged victorious by 24 runs to advance to the semi-finals. Balanced contributions from both teams, especially crucial moments during play made the difference for India’s win.
Rohit Sharma began India’s innings by hitting three consecutive balls for boundaries – although he looked set to make his century, Mitchell Starc dismissed him for just 92 in 41 balls! Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya then provided much-needed run acceleration with big hits that helped the run rate skyrocket.
Australia was still competitive despite losing wickets, but their high scoring rate could no longer keep pace. They fell short by 24 runs of reaching their target and must now beat Afghanistan in order to remain in contention for this tournament.
Australia have made an incredible comeback after two disappointing rounds at the World Cup, under new coach Justin Langer and captain Tim Paine. Winning both Test series in Sri Lanka by 2-0 and defeating Bangladesh 2-1 to finish first overall is testament to this, and their batting lineup is one of the strongest in both ODIs and Test cricket; indeed their record in ODIs stands unrivalled as currently they are considered number-one team worldwide in this format.
