Australia’s T20 World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread after falling victim to an all-out assault from Rohit Sharma, who led India to a 24-run Super 8s win. In a brutal display of hitting, Rohit smashed 92 from 41 balls to help India to 5-205 in St Lucia, before Travis Head’s 76 could only get Australia to 7-181 in reply. The result means Australia’s World Cup will be over if Afghanistan beat Bangladesh later on Tuesday , following defeats in their last two games.
Only Josh Hazlewood was able to slow India down, appearing as if he was bowling on a different pitch with his 1-14 after removing Virat Kohli for a duck early. Starc also did well to rebound late, bowling Rohit with a yorker that hit both bat and pad on the way through. But by then, the damage was done. Australia lost an edging David Warner in the first over of the chase for six, in what will be the veteran opener’s last international match if his team does not progress.
