Commentary

We now come to the conclusion of our coverage of the penultimate game in the Super 8s. Afghanistan's clash with Bangladesh is the only game that remains before we head to the semis - join us right here on Sportskeeda in a few hours for our coverage of the game. This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of Shashwat Kumar. Good night - see you tomorrow!

India's road to redemption in ICC events see them claim a statement win over their biggest nemesis in ICC knockout clashes over the past year. Having reached the last four, they will now be up against a team that steamrolled them at this exact same stage in the previous edition of the Men's T20 World Cup. India haven't faced a team stacked with power-hitters in their campaign so far, and so, they have a whole new challenge laying ahead of them.

They were well in with a chance of claiming two points as long as they had the likes of Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell in the middle today, but having fallen well short eventually, Australia's quest of a treble across formats is in jeopardy. Their future in this campaign solely depends on the final Super 8 game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. A big win for Bangladesh will see them sneak through, but as it stands, Afghanistan have one foot in the last four already.

Rohit Sharma (India captain): Quite satisfying, when you play like that. We know the opposition and what they bring. We played well, kept doing the things we are supposed to do, can take a lot of confidence from a game like that. 200 was a good score, when you're playing where wind is such a great factor, anything is possible. We used the conditions really well, all about it. We've spoken a lot about how we want to do things, was very pleasing how we went through those overs and got those wickets. (On Kuldeep) We understand the strength that he has, and you got to use it when necessary. On seamer friendly pitches in New York we needed an extra seamer, so he had to miss out. He had a big role to play when we moved forward, done a great job in the last two games. We understand what he brings to us. That's what I'm looking for from the team, everyone coming on to play their role. We don't want to do anything different, play the same way (in the knockouts). Play freely, not thinking what lies ahead of us. Important to play our cricket and play it well. Semi-finals, we've got to do the same things. It'll be nice, nothing changes for us. We want to focus on what we can do as a team and take the game on.

Mitchell Marsh (Australia captain): It's disappointing. We're still technically a chance to go through to the semis but today India got the better of us. Through the course of 40 overs there's lot of small margins you can klook at. But ultimately India were the better team. Rohit Sharma got off to a flyer. We've got to give some credit to him. In run chases like that if you can keep it (asking rate) to tens, it would be possible but India were too good for us. Come on Bangladesh! (laughs)

Rohit Sharma, Player of the Match: (On his batting) That is what I have to do at the top of the order, see what the bowlers are doing and play accordingly. From over number one, there was a strong breeze. They bowled against the breeze, so I had to open up the other side. We need to be smart when we play and that is something I was backing myself to do. (On the wind) You have to factor it in. The bowlers are smart as well and they will not bowl into the breeze a lot, so you have to open up the field and not be one-dimensional. When you keep an open mind, you can access all parts of the field and that is what I was trying to do. It was a good wicket and that is something you want to do as a batter. You want to back yourself to play those shots and I have been backing myself to play those strokes. Glad it came off. (On missing the hundred) Fifties and hundreds don't matter, as I said before. I wanted to bat with the same tempo and carry on playing shots whenever necessary and put the bowlers under pressure. When you are set like that, you want to make big scores but you also have to make the bowlers think where the next shot is coming from.

Match summary:

India win by 24 runs

Rohit Sharma 92 (41) Arshdeep Singh 3/37 (4)
Travis Head 76 (43) | Mitchell Starc 2/45 (4)

India were off to the best possible start with the ball - Arshdeep had Warner caught on the crease for most of the first over, and got him nick off to first slip. The carnage from the Aussies began after that, though - two of their best counter-attacking batters in Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head came together, and while it took an over or two, the boundaries began flowing once Marsh dug into Arshdeep in his second over.

Travis Head got in on the act right after - Jasprit Bumrah missed his lengths once too often and was carted by India's biggest nemesis in recent times. Head then dug in to Hardik Pandya in the last over of the powerplay - Pandya went too full bowling to Head, and the left-hander finished the powerplay with a royal bang, propelling Australia to 65 in the first 6.

Kuldeep Yadav was the only one to succeed on keeping the runs under check going into the halfway mark - Pandua went for 14 more in his second over as Australia kept themselves well in the hunt. It took a really special effort from Axar Patel on the field to break the partnership - the lanky all-rounder leapt full-stretch and clung on to a sweep from Marsh off Kuldeep off the last ball of the 9th.

The game was well alive as long as Travis Head was at the crease. He continued on his merry way, tonking Pandya for three more boundaries and bringing a half-century of his own with it. Glenn Maxwell joined in - he hit Jadeja with the spin behind point on several occasions in his first over, helping take 17 off it. Kuldeep, though, accounted for the Big Show with a clever piece of bowling, doing him in the air.

Marcus Stoinis followed in the next over, and it was a matter of Travis Head against India thereafter. The left-hander tried his best to keep Australia's semi-final hopes alive, but that man - Jasprit Jasbirsingh Bumrah - came back at the death and did what he does best - deliver at a crunch moment for India. Head was decepted into swinging early at an off-cutter, got a top-edge, and departed halfway into the 17th over.

Australia's hopes of a semi-final's spot now depends on a sumptuous Bangladesh win now. They are still tied with Afghanistan on points, and are marginally ahead of them on Net Run Rate. Stay tuned for the presentations...

India sure had a bit of scare or two, but securing a spot in the semis wasn't going to be a concern - particularly with the Men In Blue defending 205. Australia's hopes of gaining a semi-final's spot depend on the outcome of the Afghanistan-Bangladesh game now...

19.6 Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Starc, INDIA WIN AND SET UP A SEMI-FINAL DATE WITH ENGLAND! Slower ball to finish off. Into the track outside off and Starc shanks it into the off side. Australia now have to rely on a massive favour from Bangladesh; India, meanwhile, remain unbeaten and are perhaps favourites to win it all!

19.5 Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Starc, another slower bumper outside off. A carbon copy of the last two balls. Wild swing and a miss

19.4 Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Starc, another slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Starc swings like a rusty gate and misses. Pant has a shy at the stumps but does not hit timber. Pandya not happy with how hard he threw it

19.3 Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Starc, slower bumper outside off. Starc has a swish at it but misses

19.2 Hardik Pandya to Pat Cummins, DID IT CARRY?! Short outside off. Cummins stays deep in his crease and heaves it towards deep mid wicket. The ball seems to drop on Jadeja late and in the end, it grazes the tip of his fingers and goes down

19.1 Hardik Pandya to Pat Cummins, half-tracker outside off. Cummins winds up and swats it down to Kohli at long on. Weak throw and Starc gets back for the second

Hardik Pandya (3-0-43-0) to bowl the final over

Right then - 29 needed off the final over. Hardik's been handed the ball - he's had a forgettable day with the ball so far. Can he finish with a wicket or two?

18.6 Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Starc, low full toss on middle and leg. Starc pokes it towards long on and Cummins hares back for the second

18.5 Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, into the blockhole on middle and off. Cummins digs it out towards backward point

18.4 Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, top yorker just outside off. Cummins cannot jam his bat down in time and the ball scrapes past the toe-end

18.3 Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, SHOT! Another slower ball dug into the track outside off. Cummins loses his shape but still manages to fetch it and whip it with the wind over deep mid wicket!
