Australia National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Timeline : The Indian cricket team remains unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2024 with five wins in six games and are a point away from securing a semifinal berth and have won four of their last five T20I encounters against Australia.

Australia National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match Preview: The high-flying Indian cricket team will take on mighty Australia in the crucial Super 8 game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in Gros Islet on Monday. India are on the verge of securing the semifinal berth after Australia's shock defeat against Afghanistan in their last match on Sunday.

India registered two easy wins against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in their first two Super 8 games to take the lead in Group 1. Rohit Sharma's men now need only a point to confirm their place in the top four and even a loss against Australia keeps them alive in the contention.

On the other hand, Australia registered a big win over Bangladesh in their first Super 8 match but failed 21 runs short while chasing a 149-run target against Afghanistan in the second game. Australia now face a tough task to enter the semifinals having poor head-to-head record against the Men in Blue in T20Is.
