Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh played crucial roles with the ball to facilitate an exciting comeback for India. It sealed a spot for the semifinals in the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup as they beat Australia by 24 runs in this crucial match at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium. Captain Rohit Sharma played an explosive innings of 92 off 41 balls that took India to a strong total of 205/5 in the game.
First, Australia was well on the right keel towards victory with Travis Head bashing 76 off 43 balls. But Kuldeep Yadav's 2-24—of which the key wicket of Glenn Maxwell was while the score was 114/4—and then Arshdeep Singh's 3-37 mean Australia would only finish their innings at 181/7 and falling a few runs short of the target.
This victory means that India has gone through the Super Eight round without defeat, but will now face defending champions England in Guyana in the semifinals, while Australia now depends on Afghanistan's match with Bangladesh; should that go against Afghanistan, it means the end of the road for them.
That major contributions came from Mitchell Marsh, with 37, and Travis Head, with 76, but quite a few tough periods were really stepped up on the back of Kuldeep and Arshdeep, bowling stalwarts who seized the day for the home team.
