6:35 PM IST Presentation Time...

6:33 PM IST Earlier in the game, India posted a huge total on the board courtesy of a stunning 92 from Rohit Sharma along with some fine contributions from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. Australia were not at their usual best and took a pounding. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers who conceded just 14 runs and picked up a wicket. Mitchell Starc and Marcus Stoinis got a couple each but were very expensive. While chasing, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, and Glenn Maxwell tried their best, but the lack of support from the others meant that they had to face another defeat. Now Australia is at the mercy of Bangladesh. With their semifinal hopes hanging by a thread, the 2021 champions will hope that Bangladesh somehow manage to defeat Afghanistan, even if it be by the barest of margins, also additionally hoping that the last match of the Super 8 is not washed out.
