India vs Australia head to head: India lead Australia 19-11 in 31 meetings in the shortest format. They also lead the Aussies 3-2 in five T20 World Cup meetings, the most recent of which was a six-wicket victory for India in 2016.
India vs Australia, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Group 1 Preview: Team India have one foot in the T20 World Cup semi-finals after their commanding victories over Afghanistan and Bangladesh in the previous week and will hope to confirm their place in the knockouts in a blockbuster clash against Australia in St Lucia on Monday.
Australia, at the same time, will be fighting for survival when they face the Men in Blue. After thrashing Bangladesh in Antigua, the 2021 T20 world champions suffered a stunning defeat against Afghanistan in St Vincent that has since complicated their chances of reaching the semi-finals that had appeared straightforward at one point.
India enjoy a 3-2 record against the Aussies in T20 World Cups, having won their meetings in 2007, 2014 and 2016. Australia defeat the Indians in 2010 and 2012. Virat Kohli had produced one of the greatest T20 knocks of all time — an unbeaten 82 off 53 balls in Mohali, 2016 — the last time these two teams met at the T20 World Cup.
Monday’s clash will also be the first time the two teams meet in any format while fielding full-strength sides since last year’s ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad on 19 November, in which Travis Head powered the Aussies to their sixth ODI world title with a majestic 137 off 120 balls.
India and Australia had played a five-match T20I series immediately after the World Cup, but both teams had fielded several new faces and fringe players with several senior players rested after the mega event.
Teams:
India: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah
Australia: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh(c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
