Mitchell Starc to Rohit, no run, was an inswinging yorker outside off and Rohit tried to squeeze it out. Off the cue end as it goes to Warner on the bounce. As expected..

Australian's are appealing for a catch at slip, but I think this is a bump ball.. Warner looks excited but Starc doesn't, even he thinks it's a bump ball..

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah

Australia (Playing XI): Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh(c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Rohit Sharma: We would have fielded first as well, looks a bit sticky. We wanted to chase. We know what exactly we are doing, will try to do our best. I hope it doesn't change much. The overhead conditions also matter in this part of the world. We have adapted well, hopefully another game where we put up a show. Every game matters in this tournament, nothing changes.

Mitchell Marsh: We are going to bowl first. Looks a belter, it looks lovely. It's a quarte final, looking forward to it, big challenge against India. We have had ourselves in this situation before, every game is a must-win now. We got an experienced group, a great staff.

Australia have won the toss and have opted to field

The two skippers are out in the middle and it's toss time..

It has been rainining in St Lucia of late but the weather looks clear for now. There are some showers expected later but given the present conditions we should have an on-time start.

So here we are again. It’s the T20 World Cup. It’s India vs Australia. India have been unbeaten in the tournament so far and today they have a chance to knock Australia out of the tournament. The Aussies were exposed by Afghanistan just a couple of days back, but that was in the absence of their spearhead - Mitchell Starc. There’s a massive difference between a team with and without Mitchell Starc. It’s a must-win situation for Australia so you can expect the fiery pacer to deliver the goods once again. The Indian top order hasn’t been at its best in the tournament either. And we all know India’s vulnerability against left-arm pacers, especially in major ICC events. Sit back and relax, the toss and teams are not far away..
