<p>It was a disappointing showing for Australia at the 2022 T20 Cricket World Cup, failing to make it out of the group stages, but two years on and they will be seeking revenge as they prepare for the 2024 tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Australia are no strangers to success in the&nbsp;T20 Cricket World Cup, claiming the title in 2021, but after flaming out the following year, 2024 will be a huge test for the title hopefuls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hoping to become the third nation to win two separate titles, the Australians will do battle throughout June, with their group stage games taking place in the West Indies.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>When do Australia play their first match?</h2>

<p>The match will begin at 10:30 am AEST (8:30 pm local time), being played at&nbsp;Kensington Oval in Barbados.</p>
