Mitchell Marsh: Australia has faced a major upset in the T20 World Cup 2024. The team led by Mitchell Marsh had to surrender at the hands of Afghanistan, which is considered a weaker team than them. After this defeat, the Kangaroo team is in danger of being eliminated from the Super-8.

The last match against India is going to be a do or die situation for them. The 2021 World Cup champion team will have to win this match at any cost. Marsh has given an open challenge to Team India for the upcoming match. Actually, after the match against Afghanistan, he said something in the post-match show, which has enraged Indian fans.

Let's know in detail.

Mitchell Marsh gave an open challenge to India

Afghanistan (AFG vs AUS) defeated Australia by 21 runs on the Barbados ground.

The Kangaroo team could not even achieve the target of 149 runs. In front of the Afghan bowlers, 8 of their batsmen could not even touch the double digit mark, which is quite shameful. However, in the post-match show, captain Mitchell Marsh did not look too worried. Moreover, he has warned Team India before the next match. In fact, after the match, Marsh said,

“They (Afghanistan) managed to score 20 runs more. A lot of teams have won the toss and bowled first in this tournament. So it’s not like the winner was decided at the toss. It was just a bad day for us. It wasn’t an easy wicket.

The match was taken away from us. We just need a win, and beating India won’t be a difficult task.”

India vs Australia match will be decisive

On 24 June, two teams from Group-1 will play their last match of Super-8 in St. Lucia. Actually, we are talking about India and Australia. This match is going to be very important in terms of the equation of the points table. Team India is in a better position at the moment. They have a total of 4 points including 2 wins in 2 matches.

On the other hand, the Kangaroo team has only 2 points including one win and one loss in two matches. They have to defeat India at all costs. Let us tell you that if the Indian team is successful in defeating Australia, while Afghanistan defeats Bangladesh, then Mitchell Marsh's team will be out of the T20 World Cup 2024 (ICC T20 World Cup 2024).
