2024 T20 World Cup weather update: St. Lucia weather report for June 24 for India vs Australia match

In a high-profile Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India will square off against Australia at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia on Monday, June 24. While the Men in Blue are virtually through to the semi-finals, a win for Australia would all but confirm their place in the top four.

India are still unbeaten in the competition. They won three group games, while their last fixture was washed out. Rohit Sharma and company continued their winning run in the Super 8s by beating Afghanistan and Bangladesh comprehensively.

They will look to continue the momentum and beat Australia tonight to top Group 1 and move into the semi-finals. They are likely to stick to the winning combination against the mighty Aussies.

Australia, on the other hand, were stunned by Afghanistan in their previous Super 8 game. They were bundled out for 127 while chasing 149, thus, losing the match by 21 runs. Mitchell Marsh and company need to pick themselves up and put up a strong performance to keep their hopes of making the top four alive.

The two heavyweight teams have produced some mouthwatering clashes in the past, and another edge-of-the-seat contest is on the cards. Fans are expected to turn up in huge numbers to watch some of the best players in the business go head-to-head.

Speaking of the weather, the temperature will likely hover around 30-31 degrees Celsius throughout the game. However, due to high humid levels, the actual feeling would be four to five degrees higher.

Moreover, there is a significant chance of rainfall during the game, which might cause delays if not a washout. As a result, fans can anticipate a start-stop contest in St. Lucia tonight.
