India avenged their heart-breaking loss to Australia in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup by defeating them in a Super 8 match in St Lucia. This loss contributed to Australia’s exit from the T20 World Cup as Afghanistan advanced on points with a victory over Bangladesh.
The match saw Rohit Sharma leading India to a convincing victory with a score of 92 off 41 balls, setting a target of 206 runs for Australia. Despite a quick start by Travis Head and others, Australia could only manage 181/7 in 20 overs, failing to maintain the momentum.
During the match, Hardik Pandya survived an injury scare when a throw by Pant hit him. This incident frustrated both Pandya and India captain Rohit Sharma.

India’s strategic brilliance and adaptability led them to a 24-run victory over Australia in the Super match of the T20 World Cup. Pacer Arshdeep Singh credited Jasprit Bumrah for his brilliant bowling performance throughout the tournament.
Arshdeep’s early dismissal of David Warner and crucial wickets in the death overs played a significant role in India’s victory. With figures of 3 for 37, Arshdeep climbed to the second spot in the tournament’s wicket-takers charts.
The left-arm pacer acknowledged Bumrah’s pressure on the batters, which created opportunities for him to take wickets. Skipper Rohit Sharma’s outstanding innings, along with contributions from Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, helped India post a formidable total of 205/5 in 20 overs.
