GROS-ISLET, Saint Lucia, June 24, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and elected to field against India in the teams' concluding Super Eights match of the T20 World Cup in St Lucia on Monday.

Australia made one change to the team that suffered a shock 21-run defeat by Afghanistan, with left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc replacing spinner Ashton Agar.

India were unchanged from the team that thrashed Bangladesh by 50 runs.

Victory for India, beaten on home soil by Australia in the final of last year's 50-over World Cup, would put them into the semi-finals.

A win for Marsh's team will likely see them into the last four but they will not necessarily be eliminated if they lose, with Afghanistan in action against Bangladesh later.

Unbeaten South Africa and reigning champions England have already reached the semi-finals from Group Two.
