This time, though, a place in the final of the tournament is at stake.
Yash Dhull’s India have maintained a 100 per cent win record in this edition. They began the tournament with a 45-run win over South Africa, before easing past Ireland and Uganda to round off the group stage.
However, India’s campaign have been hit with COVID-19 after Dhull and five others tested positive following the first match.
Dhull and four others returned to action for the quarter-final against Bangladesh, but Nishant Sindhu, who was the stand-in skipper in Dhull’s absence, tested positive and missed the quarter-final.
Ravi Kumar picked three wickets as India saw off Bangladesh for 111, but the Indian batters sustained a minor hiccup before Yash and Kaushal Tambe took them over the finish line. Angkrish Raghuvanshi had scored 44 earlier on.
Australia began their campaign with a six-wicket win over hosts West Indies, before losing to Sri Lanka. The Aussies rounded off the group stage with a seven-wicket win over Scotland.
The Aussies, led by Cooper Connolly, had it comfortable against Pakistan, with Teague Wyllie (71) leading a top-order that would help them post 276/7.
In Pakistan’s reply, William Salzmann picked three wickets to derail their innings and see them off for 157.
India’s hunt for a record fifth title intensifies but they face a major hurdle in getting past Australia.
