Pitch Report:
Analysis
The cricketing world was in utter shock as Australia were defeated by Afghanistan by 27 runs in Kingstown. Through the T20 World Cup 2024, the Aussies have dominated every opponent with their fierce batting led by the David Warner-Travis Head duo and Marcus Stoinis. Then with the ball, the pace-bowling trident of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have performed consistently while Adam Zampa has been Australia’s strike bowler with his 13 wickets.
On the other hand, Team India has been flawless throughout the World Cup with their well-rounded squad of quality players. The batting has seen multiple heroes step up but the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli getting some runs under their belt will be a massive positive. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah has showcased why he is regarded as the best all-format bowler in the world while others like Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav have also performed consistently.
