It’s always super exciting to play India, they are the biggest draw: Mitchell Marsh
India are to play Australia at St Lucia on June 24.
Australia are in a tight spot in the ongoing T20 World Cup after a heart-breaking defeat against Afghanistan. Their batting unit collapsed under pressure against the Afghans as the Mitchell Marsh-led side suffered a 21-run defeat, which complicated their race to the semi-finals of the mega tournament. To make it to the next round, the 2021 champions must defeat India in their final Super Eights match, which won’t be an easy task.
Ahead of the mega clash, Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh was full of praise for team India. He termed it an exciting clash and called India the biggest draw in world cricket at the moment. The 32-year-old also hoped to get the job done in the Super Eights and play India again in the later stages of the tournament.
