Australia qualified for the Super 8 by defeating Namibia while India won against America. The Super 8 match will be played between these two teams on June 24 at the Darren Semi National Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia. Brad Hogg has predicted that both these teams will finish on top in their respective groups and will also make their place in the final after the semi-finals. Brad Hogg said on Star Sports, ‘Australia and India will have to play against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Super 8 and you can expect that both these teams will definitely register a win against them. After this, India and Australia will also make their place in the semi-finals. It can also be expected that the final of this important tournament will be played between India and Australia.’ Australia can beat India in Super 8s: Brad Hogg Brad Hogg further said, ‘I think the Super 8 match between India and Australia will be very good. Australia has more help in the West Indies. However, India has played matches in New York so far and due to this they may face some problems here. The rhythm of Indian batsmen has also been very bad since the Indian Premier League 2024. I think Australia will win the match against India. However, in this match, there will be a fierce clash between the players of both the teams. So far, the bowlers have done their job well from India’s side but the batsmen have failed to leave their mark. However, now the tournament has reached a crucial stage and from here on it is very important for India to win all the matches. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan still remembers Hardik Pandya’s match-winning all-round performance, will the Indian players be able to show the same magic this season too?
In this important tournament, a great match is to be played between India and Pakistan on 9th June at New York Stadium. Hardik Pandya (Pic Source-X) The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has started. In this important tournament, a great match is to be played between India and Pakistan at the New York Stadium on June 9. It is very important for both the teams to win this match. Let us tell you, in its first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India defeated Ireland by 8 wickets, while Pakistan had to face defeat against USA in its first match. Hardik Pandya performed very well against Ireland from India’s side. Hardik Pandya took three wickets for 27 runs in four overs while bowling against the Irish team. Due to his bowling, there was constant pressure on the Ireland team and they failed to win this match. A great match was played between India and Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in which Hardik Pandya performed brilliantly with both the ball and the bat. First he sent three Pakistani players back to the pavilion with bowling and then did wonders with batting as well. Hardik Pandya not only played a brilliant innings of 40 runs against Pakistan in the 2022 season but he also made an important partnership with Virat Kohli. Now Hardik Pandya would like to repeat the same performance in the upcoming match. Hardik Pandya failed to show his magic with the ball and bat in the Indian Premier League 2024. However, the experienced all-rounder also batted very well in the warm-up match against Bangladesh and played an aggressive innings of 40* runs. Pakistan will have to be careful with Hardik Pandya The excellent all-rounder also showed his magic with the ball against Bangladesh and took a wicket. The best thing for India is that Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma are in very good form at the moment. All these three players can be seen performing brilliantly against Pakistan as well. Another good thing for the Indian team is that the upcoming match is to be played in New York and they are very well aware of the conditions here. All the Indian fans would be wishing that Hardik Pandya once again performs the same way against Pakistan as he did in the 2022 season. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
