India defeated Australia by 24 runs in a Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup on Monday. The victory ignited celebrations among Indian fans, who saw it as payback for the team's loss in the 2023 World Cup final.
A video circulating on social media showed an Indian fan sledging bowler Pat Cummins as he walked back to the pavilion. The fan can be heard saying, "Hey Pat that's for 2023, that's a revenge for 2023, remember Ahmedabad? You're going home tomorrow."

Australia's fate in the tournament no longer rested in their own hands after the loss to India. They needed Bangladesh to defeat Afghanistan in a subsequent Super 8 match to have a chance at the semifinals.
Bangladesh initially restricted Afghanistan to a modest total of 115 runs in 20 overs. However, their batting faltered, with only Litton Das showing significant resistance. Chasing the target in a shortened format, Bangladesh fell short by eight runs, handing Afghanistan a crucial victory and securing their own place in the semifinals.
