NEW DELHI: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma led his team to a convincing 24-run victory over Australia in their final Super Eights match of the T20 World Cup on Monday. Rohit's scintillating 92 off just 41 deliveries propelled India to a formidable total of 205 for five, after Australia had won the toss and elected to field on a batting-friendly surface.
Australia, facing the prospect of an early exit from the tournament, showcased their characteristic resilience during the run chase. Skipper Mitchell Marsh, who rediscovered his form, contributed a valuable 37 off 28 balls, while Travis Head, who had previously tormented India in the ODI World Cup final last year, played a blistering knock of 76 off 43 deliveries.
