T20 World Cup: Starc Replaces Agar As Australia Elect To Bowl First Against Unchanged India

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium: Fast-bowling spearhead Mitchell Starc replaced left-arm spin all-rounder Ashton Agar as Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first against an unchanged India in a crucial Super Eight stage clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Monday.

The pitch for Monday’s game is the same strip used for the England vs South Africa game in which the Aiden Markram-led side successfully defended 163 to win by seven runs, with the cross breeze at high speed due to slight rain in the run-up to the match. India will progress to the semifinals of the tournament if they win, while Australia, who suffered a shock 21-run defeat to Afghanistan on Sunday, need a victory to keep their last four chances alive.

"It looks a belter. There's a breeze to contend with but the surface looks very good. We're looking forward to it, we are up for the challenge that we know India presents to us. We've found ourselves in this position a few times in World Cups before, and at this stage of the tournament every game is a must-win anyway."
