Ahead of the clash between the heavyweights, the venue in Saint Lucia is currently facing some downpours with gloomy conditions.

Meanwhile, the island on Sunday also received heavy <keyword id="19991168" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rain" source="keywords">rain</keyword>. Rohit Sharma-led Team India are currently holding the top spot in Group 1 of the Super Eights after sealing a win in all of their previous two matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Men in Blue will head into the match after beating Bangladesh by 50 runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh's Australia suffered a humbling 21-run defeat against Afghanistan in their previous match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. In a pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against Australia, India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes that if the execution is right, nothing will stop Men in Blue from prevailing over the Aussies in a clash of heavyweights. The bowling coach said that the "implementation of plans" against the Aussies will play a big role. "We played them initially. Earlier, a lot of these guys have played against them. A lot of guys have played in the IPL. So, in terms of knowing of the game, the approach that is going to change has been similar in the past games that we played. I don't think it's going to change. I think it's all what we can do is really focus on the implementation of our plans," Mhambrey said in a pre-match press conference. "And the bottom line is execution. I think if you're as close to execution, you will win every game. So, it's not about what the other opponent's going to do yet. We know what kind of approach they come with. That's the way they played in the past as well. But I think the focus purely should be on, that's what we will focus on in execution. And if we're as close to our plans, I'm pretty sure that we're going to cross the other side. On the other hand, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald opened up about the struggle to cope with playing in a short time between Afghanistan and India matches, which involves air travel. "I mean, once the draw comes out, you are well aware of what you need to do and, in your planning, and preparation and that goes into it months before you get here and we feel like as I said we have made some good decisions in our planning and prep and coming in and yeah, we have got another challenge with a short turnaround. Every team's facing that, so yeah, it will be recovery mode tonight and tomorrow. Give the boys a bit of space and yeah, we would not drill into it too much tonight (loss to Afghanistan and lack of recovery time)," McDonald said in a pre-match press conference. "As you said, it is pretty early in the morning. So, getting that information in will happen in the morning of the Indian game. So, a bit of space. The boys know where we went wrong. They are an experienced group. But there is no doubt when we come back together on the morning of the Indian game, we need to be at our best. And to be at our best, we need recovery. And if people do not recover in time, then clearly, we will make decisions based around that. But so far so good, everyone has pulled up well," he added. Squads: India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

In the 'Super 12', England, New Zealand, Australia and Afghanistan have been drawn together in Group 1, with India, Pakistan, South Africa and Bangladesh heading into Group 2. The 'Super 12' will start in dramatic fashion in Sydney with a meeting between the two finalists from the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE, with New Zealand taking on defending champions Australia. A day later, India and Pakistan will compete in what will be one of the most hotly-anticipated matches of the tournament. The Super 12 will run for a fortnight, with the two groups set to reach their conclusion on the weekend of the November 5 and 6. In addition to the Pakistan versus India and Australia versus New Zealand matches, a scattering of other fixtures stand out as likely key games in the Super 12 stage. There will be a repeat of the 2021 semifinal between England and New Zealand when the two teams meet at The Gabba in Brisbane on November 1 in what is both teams' penultimate group game. Also, Pakistan are scheduled to face Bangladesh in Adelaide on the final afternoon of the Super 12 stage. The tournament will begin with a six-day group stage -- First Round -- to determine the final four teams to qualify for the Super 12. Sri Lanka and Namibia will be joined by two further qualifiers in Group A, with West Indies and Scotland drawn together alongside two additional teams from the Global Qualifier in Group B. The First Round will consist of daily double-headers, held on alternate days at Hobart's Bellerive Oval and Geelong's Kardinia Park, with all Group A matches at the latter venue and all Group B matches held in the Tasmanian city. All fixtures will be held between October 16 and 21. The winner of Group A and runner-up of Group B will join Group 1 in the Super 12 stage, with Group B's winners and the second-placed team in Group A heading into Group 2. The SCG will host the first semifinal on November 9, with the second semifinal to be held the following day at the Adelaide Oval. The final is scheduled for to be played at the MCG in front of a capacity 100,024 crowd. The event will be held at seven venues.

ICC T20 World Cup 2022: India vs Pakistan match to be held on October 23 at MCG

India skipper <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> did concede after the 10-wicket thrashing at the hands of Pakistan in an <keyword id="117722" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC-T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">ICC T20 World Cup</keyword> 'Super 12' game here that the "high-intensity" Indian Premier League 2021, which concluded here recently, did take a toll on the players and the week-long break before the next game will do his side a world of good. Compared to the enthusiasm shown by the Indian players for their respective IPL franchises recently, Virat's boys looked jaded and listless as they went about their opening match against the arch-rivals nowhere near their best, with their express pace bowlers barely managing military medium, compared to the likes of Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf who bowled their hearts out on Sunday night. Asked, how does he see the week-long gap between the opening 'Super 12' game against Pakistan and the next assignment against New Zealand on October 31, Kohli said during the post-match press conference that, "I think it works really well for us from all point of views. Knowing that we have played a full-fledged season already, we played the IPL, which is very high octane by itself in testing conditions here in the UAE, and then we come into the World Cup. So for us these big breaks are definitely something that's going to help us as a team to be in the prime physical condition that we need to be to play this high-intensity tournament. "<keyword id="44040" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">T20 World Cup</keyword> is always a high-intensity tournament, and it will help us, again, to regroup as a team to get to the practice sessions eager to execute the things that we want to, prepare in a very confident manner and then arrive on the day again to make sure that this time we execute our plans, and we have enough confidence in our ability that with this preparation time, we'll come out once again being in a positive frame of mind. For us as a team personally I can say it's a good thing that's happening. We'll have time to reflect and to prepare again," added Kohli, who will be stepping down as T20 captain after the World T20 assignment. Losing the toss, Kohli said, was crucial as the team batting second got a little more advantage, with the dew making it easy for the Pakistan batters to rotate strike. Expressing his frustration with the conditions, Kohli said, "The more dew came in towards the second half of the Pakistan innings, 10 overs onwards, and the wicket will rotate strike. We could not even get dot balls in because the pitch was obviously providing a big pace for the batsman to work with. The slower balls were not holding up as much. "These small little factors, as I said, it did make a massive difference, and as a team you need to understand what was the reality of the situation out there in the middle, and that's where those 20, 25 extra runs would have been good, but brilliant bowling in the first six (overs by Pakistan) did not allow us to get those extra runs."

Virat Kohli says 'high intensity' IPL took a toll on India, after the team got thwarted by Pakistan on Sunday

A day after the Indian cricket board said that it will not be able to host the <keyword id="44040" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup">T20 World Cup</keyword>, the International Cricket Council (ICC) issued a statement confirming that the multi-nation tournament will be held in the United Arab Emirates (<keyword id="6358356" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="uae">UAE</keyword>) and <keyword id="62607" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="oman">Oman</keyword> from October 17 to November 14. "The <keyword id="6354756" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci">BCCI</keyword> will remain the hosts of the event, which will now be held in Dubai International Stadium, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the Sharjah Stadium, and the Oman Cricket Academy Ground, from 17 October to 14 November 2021," said a statement from ICC. The initial stage of the tournament will likely be held in Oman and a venue in UAE soon after the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 ends in the country. "Our priority is to deliver the ICC Men's T20 <keyword id="22177" type="SPORT" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-cup">World Cup</keyword> 2021 safely, in full and in its current window. Whilst we are incredibly disappointed not to be hosting the event in India, the decision gives us the certainty we need to stage the event in a country that is a proven international host of multi-team events in a bio-secure environment. We will work closely with the BCCI, the Emirates Cricket Board and Oman Cricket to ensure fans can enjoy a wonderful celebration of cricket," said Geoff Allardice, the acting ICC CEO, in a statement. The president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sourav Ganguly, said that the Board would have been happier hosting the tournament in India. "We would have been happier hosting it in India but considering the uncertainty due to the Covid-19 situation and the importance of a world championship, the BCCI will now continue to host this tournament in UAE and Oman," said Ganguly.

ICC T20 World Cup: India to begin campaign against Pakistan on October 24

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in a high-octane Group 2 match in Super 12 of the ICC Men's <keyword id="44040" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">T20 World Cup</keyword> at the Dubai International Stadium here on Sunday. After winning the toss, Azam said that Haider Ali was left out from the 12-man shortlist for the playing eleven. "We'll look to take early wickets and put pressure. Dew is also a factor. We have had good practice sessions and are confident about our preparations. Pakistan's bowlers are known to trouble other teams but I am confident about our batting too." India skipper Virat Kohli said Rahul Chahar, Ishan Kishan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur are the four non-playing members of the squad. "We are pretty happy with setting the target. We would have bowled first too, but the toss is not in your control. We are pretty balanced with our squad and you need to be prepared for it. We need to stay as professional as possible. We need to stay focussed on the processes. Everyone watches it closely all over the world. We need to ensure we don't get too emotional. The pitch looks very different. Evenly rolled and there is no grass at all which was the case during the IPL. We expect the pitch to stay good all through and set a good total."

The country has been running three years ahead of its targets as the 2020’s arrivals goal of 3,00,000 Indian visitors was achieved in December 2017. And now that Australia is the host of the ICC T20 World Cups 2020 (men and women), the country has ambitious plans for the Indian market. Australia’s Minister for Tourism, Simon Birmingham, has provided additional funding of AUD 5 million to promote the upcoming World Cups to the fans in India and on the back of its strong marketing game and partnerships, Tourism Australia aims to see additional 1,40,000 Indian visitors in 2020 i.e., 5,00,000 visitors. “Following the success of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which was co-hosted by Australia and attracted approximately 1,00,000 international visitors, we are expecting the ICC T20 World Cups to attract an additional 30,000-40,000 Indian visitors to Australia in 2020. This will feed in to our ambitious target of achieving half a million visitor arrivals during the year 2020-21, who will potentially spend up to AUD 2.5 billion (₹12,500 crores) on their Australia trips,” shares Brent Anderson, Regional General Manager, South and SEA, Tourism Australia. In the last financial year, Tourism Australia recorded 3,82,000 arrivals from India – a 12% increase than 2018. Indian visitors spent AUD 1.8 billion (approximately ₹8,800 crore) on their Australian trips during the year ended June 2019, thereby marking an increase of 17% over the previous year. The average spend per trip for Indian visitors was A$ 5,000 (approx. Rs 250,000). <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup></colgroup></colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000

The previous world record was set in 1999 during the FIFA women’s soccer final in California with 90,185 attendees. Given the demand anticipated for the World Cups, the ICC has appointed five Official Ticketing Agents and two sub-agents, including Bharata Army, Gainwell Sports, Fanatic Sports, Sports Konnect, Cutting Edge, PickYourTrail, and Medallin Sports, to sell cricket packages in India. The Department of Home Affairs has also introduced online visa lodgement for travellers from India to ease the hassle. Marketing Plan To attract more tourists from India during ICC Cricket World Cups, Tourism Australia has also released a 360-degree campaign. Conceptualised by Scarecrow M&amp;C Saatchi, the core idea of the campaign is to draw synergies between India’s most loved sport and signature Australian experiences that define the legendary ‘Australian way of life’, which includes food and drink, nature and wildlife, and aquatic and coastal experiences. The ICC T20 World Cup campaign will run across three stages - Awareness, Consideration and Booking. In addition to the digital assets and television commercial that has been developed, the campaign will also leverage multiple online mediums to amplify their messaging. A mix of search, display, video, social, native, programmatic and content will be a part of the digital campaign. Content partnerships with broadcast and Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms will also be leveraged as part of the campaign to showcase the tourism experiences through the eyes of renowned cricketing legends from both countries. The campaign will be further amplified during the Australia tour of India in 2020 and the Australian Open 2020, as well as through public relations and international media hosting programs that will see influencers from different fields have a first-hand experience of the game and beyond. Tourism Australia will focus on top 8 cities of India including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Pune.

 Game that Ties the Countries Together In India, The Indian Premier League has brought cricketers of both the countries together, thereby strengthening the cultural ties between the two nations. Cricket is a celebration that brings people together irrespective of nationality or religion. ‘The India-Australia cricketing ties go way back in 1985’, recalls Anderson. “Australia hosted the prestigious Benson &amp; Hedges World Championship of Cricket. Memories of Sunil Gavaskar lifting the Cup and Ravi Shastri driving the Audi on the hallowed turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground are etched in the minds of die-hard Indian cricket fans. Colored clothing, white cricket balls, magnificent production quality, and the unique commentary style continued to mesmerise Indian viewers, who not only fell in love with the game but also the iconic stadiums such as the MCG, SCG, Adelaide Oval, WACA and GABBA. Since then, Indian fans have continued to visit Australia whenever the Indian cricket team has travelled there or participated in a world championship. The passion for the game of cricket will therefore continue to drive tourism into Australia,” he elaborates. Key Dates The women’s tournament will kick off on 21st February when Australia will take on India at Sydney Showground Stadium, with the final to be held on March 8 – International Women’s Day – at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The men’s tournament will run from October 18 to November 15, 2020, with the 45 matches expected to be broadcast to 2 billion people. The two tournaments will be contested across eight host cities: Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

The ICC T20 World Cup-winning Indian team touched down in Delhi on Thursday to a warm welcome from the fans awaiting the sight of their favourite heroes and sight of the silverware. The squad members, support staff, their families and media were stuck in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, at that stage a category four hurricane that passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown shut for three days. The flight was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi at around 6:00 AM on Thursday morning. Board officials and members of the media contingent from the tournament were also on the flight. India ended a 11-year ICC trophy drought with victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs on Saturday. Virat Kohli's 76 helped India reach 176/7 while <keyword id="19906064" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hardik-pandya" source="keywords">Hardik Pandya</keyword> (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) helped India restrict Proteas to 169/8 despite Heinrich Klaasen's 52 in just 27 balls. Bumrah, who got 15 scalps throughout the tournament at a stunning economy rate of 4.17, got the 'Player of the Tournament' honours. From the airport, <keyword id="20015089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Team-India" source="keywords">Team India</keyword> reached the ITC Maurya hotel, where they stayed before their meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Notably, Virat, Rohit, Hardik, head coach Rahul Dravid and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Roger Binny were spotted at the hotel. A special cake featuring the T20 World Cup trophy was cut at the hotel to celebrate the win. Rohit, Virat, Dravid and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were among the stars who took part in the cake-cutting. The cake featured the trophy and some pictures of Indian stars. Much like other teams do after winning titles, the Rohit-led side will have an open-top bus ride in Mumbai at Marine Drive and the iconic Wankhede Stadium from 5:00 pm onwards to celebrate. After their meeting with PM Modi, Men in Blue will depart for Mumbai for the grand celebratory parade.
