In this article we are going to talk about India National Cricket Team Vs Australian Men’s Cricket Team Timeline for accurate prediction.
India have enjoyed great success in limited-overs cricket over the past decade. Beginning with 2008-09, they went 11 Test series without losing and won two out of two cycles of World Cup competition.
Australia must win their final match against India to qualify for a semi-final, but this will be an intense contest with much at stake.
The first match
India’s batting unit looked fantastic against Australia bowlers in this match, led by captain Rohit Sharma’s magnificent knock of 92 not out. Their win marked a step towards qualifying for semi-final berth in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals; Australia were left languishing in Group 1, needing victories against Afghanistan or Bangladesh to qualify.
Indian won the toss and elected to bat first, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami bowling splendidly to restrict Australia to just 240/6 in their innings. Australia struggled during their chase; only Travis Head’s half century saved them from falling short of reaching their target.
India was impressive with the ball as Axar Patel took an outstanding one-handed catch at deep square leg to dismiss Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell came in support, but Kuldeep Yadav’s googly took him out in 17 overs.
Australia’s top order was struggling to make an impression, with Josh Hazlewood giving away too many runs. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey provided relief at lower order. Ravindra Jadeja’s return bolstered their efforts.
The second match
India and Australia faced off in another gripping World Cup matchup that would ultimately decide their destiny, with India winning by two wickets with 14 balls remaining and becoming an unbeatable force on home turf for the first time ever. India’s victory marked their first-ever World Cup win and proved they could become formidable adversaries on an international stage. This win cemented India’s status as an unpredictable force.
India was looking to mount a comeback after losing three early wickets, but struggled to maintain momentum and lost four more wickets quickly in quick succession. They fell short of reaching their winning total of 271/6; Rahul and Kohli led their side well, scoring half centuries and helping post an respectable total score.
After an unsympathetic start to their match against Australia, Indian bowlers made an incredible comeback in Axar Patel took an audacious catch off Mitch Marsh’s backfoot that nearly went over the ropes – yet was taken easily by Patel who leapt high and clung on for dear life as Mitch attempted to smash over it!
Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammad Shami Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja comprised India’s squad. Meanwhile Pat Cummins Mitchell Starc Glenn Maxwell Matt Renshaw Usman Khawaja Travis Head Peter Handscomb were part of Australia’s squad.
The third match
Australia and India’s rivalry is one of the finest in world cricket, producing thrilling Test matches, ODIs, and T20 matches that provide fans with some unforgettable moments over time. Today marks their third Super 8 match of this tournament!
Rohit Sharma scored an outstanding 92, leading India to an impressive total of 205 in this game. He was well supported by wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Hardik Pandya – but ultimately Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins bowling tight lines made the difference as India could only find the boundary four times during their last five overs of play.
Australia struggled to keep pace with Australia, struggling to meet their required rate. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh provided some resistance, however when Travis Head was caught by Axar Patel at deep square leg off Kuldeep Yadav it appeared Australia were heading for yet another defeat. When Mitchell Marsh miscued Jasprit Bumrah over Rohit, it became evident the game had ended for Australia.
India quickly seized control of their fourth match of the round robin stage with ease, taking top spot. Rohit Sharma led India to victory against Australia by 118 runs and remains unbeaten throughout this tournament. For Australia however, this defeat left them at risk of elimination; they must rebound quickly against Afghanistan or Bangladesh to remain competitive and stay in contention for semi-final spots.
The fourth match
India will face Australia ‘A’ for a three-day warmup match at the WACA in Perth before embarking on two T20Is and five Test matches for Border-Gavaskar Trophy competition. India will then tour Sri Lanka as they warm up before this massive competition.
Rohit Sharma delivered two sixes against Mitchell Starc in the third over, taking 29 runs off just two balls before rain halted play soon thereafter.
India have managed to remain in control despite losing wickets. Axar Patel’s spin has enabled India to regain momentum and apply pressure to Australian batters; Axar has already trapped Travis Head while India bowlers look in good form.
Indian team will be buoyed by the return of designated vice-captains Shreyas Iyer and Jitesh Sharma, both players having performed admirably against Australia previously. Both players will look to continue their good form when facing them again this time around.
Kuldeep Yadav took out Glenn Maxwell in the last over, leaving India just 65 to chase. Unfortunately, Australia managed to thwart their attempt through its expert fielding efforts and prevent India from reaching their target.
The fifth match
On October 8 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India won the toss and elected to bat first after losing two early wickets. Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay displayed exceptional partnership that helped India cross 500 runs. Australia struggled against India’s spinners; Mitchell Starc managed a good start but ultimately they didn’t reach 400 runs.
Australian openers struggled to deal with India’s pace attack, particularly Jason Behrendorff’s reading of batters’ strengths and bowling accordingly to limit run-scoring opportunities. Travis Head hit two boundaries off Hardik Pandya but was ultimately dismissed by Axar Patel’s spectacular one-handed catch at deep square leg; Glenn Maxwell reached his half-century but soon was out after Kuldeep Yadav bowled a googly delivery which deceived him out.
Australia openers David Warner and Mitch Marsh are in the middle with Jasprit Bumrah facing him off in an opening partnership, before Bumrah bowls his over. However, Virat Kohli managed a spectacular diving slip catch to dismiss Marsh off his first delivery and Marnus Labuschagne will now take to bat in their place.
