Big picture: Rain threat in St Lucia
This episode of Australia-India was always going to be spicy, because, well, it's Australia-India, and because November 19 and all that. But now, after the events of June 22, there's even more riding on it. Group 1 of the Super Eight in T20 World Cup 2024 is now thrillingly open.
This isn't a must-win game for either team, but Australia will be on wafer-thin ice if they lose. And while India's net run rate gives them a decent safety net, there is still a chance they could lose out on a semi-finals slot.
A washout would suit India just fine, sealing their semi-finals spot, but for Australia the difference between two points and one could be humongous. They are well aware of this, having been haunted by this difference in a global tournament not that long ago.
Pool Stats
England become the first team to get to the semis. And no team would like to face them in the knockouts going by what we saw today. Three more spots up for grabs as far as the semis race is concerned. A couple of exciting games coming up.
England was your first and only only choice while picking and rightly so! But, while calculating stats for our pool I found that our dear @siggy47 played another maiden over for an easy match!
All other stats remain unaffected and all have at least taken a 'DRS' (two wrong predictions) now. So, you can't be wrong to survive in the pool from here.
Also, we've already started the procession of elimination....play wisely...you've to survive till the final to be the winner!

Important
You can use your maiden overs (miss the prediction) if you're not sure who to pick for three times. So, predict wisely, this is a Survival game.
If you only remain predicting every match, you can't survive till the last. To be a winner, you need to survive till the finals.
All pool stats are only added upto the ninth match of Super 8 which is between England and USA.
Thanks for your love and support!
Best of Luck!!
