Afghanistan will take on Australia in the 48th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024. The Super 8 fixture is set to be played at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent on 23rd June 2024 at 06:00 AM IST.
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar feels that India should strive to find the right balance in playing XI according to the conditions that would help them clinch victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup. During the group stage in the United States, India decided to go for three frontline pacers and two spinners. But in the Super 8 stage against Afghanistan, Mohammed Siraj was dropped for Kuldeep Yadav to provide the service of an additional spinner. Hardik Pandya featured as the third pacer, while Shivam Dube provided another seamer option.
The fifth edition of the much-awaited Lanka Premier League (LPL) will begin on July 1 with a host of international and Sri Lankan stars in action across three weeks of pulsating T20 action at three iconic venues. Some of the marquee international names from the five LPL franchises include Kiwi all-rounders Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman, Bangladesh pacers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, Pakistan stars Shadab Khan and Agha Salman, West Indies veterans Andre Fletcher and Fabian Allen as well as the famed Afghanistan spinners Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rehman and Noor Ahmad, and the South African duo of Rilee Rossouw and Reeza Hendricks.
Suryakumar Yadav's much-needed fifty and Jasprit Bumrah's reliability with the ball helped India kickstart their T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 campaign on a high as the Men in Blue registered a 47-run victory against Afghanistan at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown on Thursday. The Rohit Sharma-led India are currently placed second on the Super Eight Group 1 Standing and are gearing up to take on another Asian rival in Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on June 22. A win against the Bangla Tigers will almost guarantee India a semi-final spot.
India captain Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant shared a hilarious moment during the T20 World Cup Super 8 match against Afghanistan in Barbados. The incident happened in the 11th over of Afghanistan's 182-run chase after Pant and Kuldeep Yadav combined to dismiss Gulbadin Naib. On the second ball of the over, Kuldeep outfoxed Naib with a flighted delivery wide of off. Naib mistimed his slog sweep and got a top edge instead. Pant covered a decent amount of ground to pouch the ball and under armed the cherry towards Rohit, who had also made an attempt to grab the ball but stopped midway after seeing the keeper.
Undefeated India face a faltering Bangladesh in their second match of the Super Eight round in T20 World Cup 2024 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua on Saturday. The Rohit Sharma-led side needs a victory to inch closer to the semi-final berth while Najmul Hossain Shanto and Co. also need a win to keep themselves in strong contention for the knockouts. The overall head-to-head record is dominated by India but Bangladesh have been known to be plucky and Rohit Sharma and his men would be wary of that.
India will take on Bangladesh in the Super Eights Match 7 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024. The game is set to take place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on Saturday (IST). India comes into this match with momentum, having defeated Afghanistan by 47 runs in their previous outing. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout performer for India, amassing 101 fantasy points. On the other hand, Bangladesh faced a setback in their last game, losing to Australia by 28 runs via the DLS method. Rishad Hossain was the top fantasy performer for Bangladesh, scoring 72 points.
Virat Kohli has been “challenged” in the ongoing T20 World Cup but his lean run is allowing the less experienced players to step up and contribute to the team's cause, India batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Friday. India outplayed Afghanistan at the Kensington Oval here on Thursday to make a perfect start to their Super 8s campaign. However, Kohli was tested once again in the powerplay and ended up with a run-a-ball 24, his first double digit score in the tournament.
