India Defeats Australia in Super Eights Match

Sharma's 92 Leads India to Victory

India Storms Into Semi-Final

In a thrilling Super Eights match, India defeated Australia by 24 runs to storm into the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. Captain Rohit Sharma led the charge for India with a blistering 92 off just 41 balls, setting two world records in the process. Sharma's knock helped India post a formidable total of 220 runs, which proved to be too much for the Australian batting lineup.

Despite a valiant effort from David Warner (79) and Steve Smith (52), Australia fell short of the target, finishing on 196/5. Jasprit Bumrah, who returned from an injury layoff, was the pick of the Indian bowlers, picking up 2 wickets for 22 runs in his 4 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal also chipped in with a wicket each.

The victory marks India's unbeaten streak in the tournament, having won all three of their group stage matches. They will now face England in the semi-finals, while Australia will face Pakistan in the other semi-final.
