India vs Australia, T20 World Cup 2024 Highlights: IND beat AUS by 24 runs, through to semifinals

India vs Australia Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: "Satisfying. We know the opposition and the threat they bring. As a team we did well, kept doing the things we needed to do. Gives us good confidence as a team. 200 is a good score but when you are playing here with wind being a big factor, anything can happen. But I think we used to conditions really well, and it was about individuals doing their job. If was about getting wickets at the right time. (On Kuldeep) We know the strength he has, but we need to use him when necessary. In New York, there were seamer friendly wickets. He had to miss out but we knew he had a big role to play out here. (On semi-final) We don't want to do anything different, play the same way and understand what each person has to do. Play freely and not think too much on what's lying ahead. Not think about the opposition. We have been doing it consistently, just need to continue. (On playing England in semi) It will be a nice match, nothing changes for us as a team."

India vs Australia Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Disappointing. It happens in the game of cricket. In the course of 40 overs, there are a lot of small margins. India were the better team, Rohit is a class player. (On Head and Maxwell's batting) Gave us more belief than hope. In a run chase like that if you keep it at 10 an over, we are in the game. India's bowlers were too good though in the end. Come on, Bangladesh now!

India vs Australia Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: An innings for the ages from the Indian captain. He has also taken his career T20I tally to 4165 runs, which he has become the highest run scorer of all time in the format. Again.

“That's what I have to do (in the powerplay), try and see what the bowlers are doing, play accordingly. They changed their plans and tried to bowl against the breeze. Needed to be smart, was just backing myself to do. You got to understand that bowlers are smart, they are not going to bowl into the breeze. I was thinking to hit everything that was possible. You can access all sides of the field, that is what I was trying to do. It has been a good wicket and you need to back yourself on good wickets, glad that it came off today. I told you that 50s and 100s don't matter to me. Need to put the bowlers under pressure, and you need big scores for that. I tried to access all sides of the field, not just one side.”

India vs Australia Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Just four runs in the last over and Australia can relax for some time before sitting down for the next game today (early morning tomorrow Indian time) and rooting with everything they have got for Bangladesh. If Afghanistan win that game at the Arnos Vale, it is curtains for the reigning WTC and World Cup champions. For India, it is pretty straightforward. They can now travel to Guyana where they will face England in a repeat of the 2022 semifinal on
