Team India outclassed Australia in their high-stakes Super Eight bout at St Lucia’s Darren Sammy Stadium to qualify for the semifinals of the 2024 T20 World Cup.


Here’s the timeline of how AUS vs IND panned out in St Lucia:


AUS vs IND Highlights: Rohit Sharma Takes Down Starc With 29-Run Over After Kohli’s Duck

Out-of-form Virat Kohli failed to clear midwicket against Josh Hazlewood to fall for a five-ball duck in the second over of the match. Shortly after Kohli’s early dismissal, Rohit Sharma battered Australia’s comeback paceman Mitchell Starc with four sixes and a boundary to reap 29 runs off a single powerplay over.

Sharma ended up reaching his half-century from just 19 deliveries as Team India raced to 60-1 at the end of the opening powerplay.


AUS vs IND Highlights: Sharma Launches Eight Sixes In Whirlwind 41-Ball 92

Rohit Sharma extended his batting rampage beyond the opening powerplay, considering the Indian skipper launched eight sixes in the Indian innings to take his team past the 100-run mark in the ninth over. The legendary opener also pounded seven boundaries in his whirlwind 92-run knock, and formed handy partnerships with Rishabh Pant (15 off 14 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (31 off 16 balls) before he was castled by Mitchell Starc at 127-3.


AUS vs IND Highlights: Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube Finish Strongly For India

Indian middle-order batter Shivam Dube stacked up 28 runs from 22 balls before becoming the second victim of an expensive Marcus Stoinis spell (2-56). His senior all-round teammate Hardik Pandya (27* off 17 balls) smoked a couple of sixes and a boundary to finish the Indian innings at a commanding 205-5 from 20 overs.


AUS vs IND Highlights: Travis Head, Marsh Keep AUS Afloat After David Warner’s Early Exit

Indian seamer Arshdeep Singh had David Warner out caught at slip in the first over of the Australian chase. Despite the early setback, Warner’s opening partner Travis Head and captain Mitchell Marsh kept the run-chase alive with a dazzling counterattacking approach, adding 81 runs to the Australian total together off the subsequent eight overs.


AUS vs IND Highlights: Indian Spinners, Arshdeep Keep AUS Down By 24 Runs

Indian spinners Kuldeep Yadav (2-24) and Axar Patel (1-21) hampered Australia’s run-riot in the middle-overs by picking up three key wickets between them. While Kuldeep accounted for danger men Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell; Axar had in-form Marcus Stoinis for just two as Australia slipped to 135-4.

Arshdeep Singh added two more wickets to his tally in the death overs to finish with 3-37 as India claimed the high-scoring thriller at St Lucia by 24 runs to qualify for the semifinals.
