The clash between India and Australia in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 hangs in uncertainty due to rain threats. The match is scheduled to take place at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia on June 24. India, led by Mitchell Marsh, have been unbeaten so far in the Super Eight stage, while Australia are looking to secure a win to advance to the semi-finals.

Currently, the point table sees India leading, with a good chance to book a spot in the semis. Australia needs a substantial win to proceed. If the match is washed out, both teams will earn one point each, sending India to the semis and Australia packing home. Bangladesh or Afghanistan will qualify based on who wins on June 25.

Weather forecast predicts a 70% chance of rain with three hours of rain expected. Thunderstorms are forecasted at 42%, and 74% cloud cover is expected. Wind gusts at 46km/hr and wind speed at 26 km/hr. The channel forecasts 3.5 mm of rain.

India has four points and a strong net run rate, while Australia holds 2 points with a diminishing NRR after losing to Afghanistan. Players like Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya are the key players for India, while the return of Glenn Maxwell‘s form poses a threat. Pat Cummins also stands out for Australia in this crucial match.
