IND vs AUS Performance Comparison in Super 8

Let’s compare the latest performances of India and Australia in the Super 8 stages so far:

1. India:

Team India continued its dominance in the Super 8s by securing a 50-run victory against Bangladesh. Despite, losing the toss Team India batters maintained their aggressive batting style by posting a total of 196-5 in 20 overs. Hardik Pandya’s 27-ball-half century was valuable in boosting India’s total.   

The middle-order batting lineup and the bowling department have been prime reasons behind the men in blue’s success.

Australia’s qualification scenario for the playoffs seems to be in threat after facing a shocking loss to Rashid Khan’s led Afghanistan cricket team. Despite the impressive bowling performance of Pat Cummins (3-28 in 4 overs) and Adam Zampa (2-28 in 4 overs), the Afghanistan opening batters namely Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 49-ball 60 (including 4 fours and 4 sixes) and Ibrahim Zadran 48-ball-51 (including 6 fours) helped their team reach total of 148-6 in 20 overs.
