Preview: The Super-8 stages of the T20 World Cup 2024 have come to an end, and we are in for a thrilling finish. On Monday, three teams will compete for a spot in the semi-finals. The first match on Monday is between India and Australia, and it is the biggest game of the Super-8 stages.
Australia (AUS) has their backs against the wall as they must defeat India to advance to the tournament’s semi-finals. Its dreams were dashed in their most recent encounter, when they were defeated by Afghanistan by 21 runs. That setback means that if they do not cross the line against India, they must hope Bangladesh beats Afghanistan in the evening game.
India (IND) currently leads the standings with four points from two games. Rohit Sharma and his men defeated Bangladesh by 50 runs. The primary goal for Team India is not to finish second since if their semi-final game is rained out, there will be no reserve day.
