India vs Australia Live Score: Victory For India
VICTORY!
India have defeated Australia by 24 runs. With this victory, India are through to the semi-finals as the Super 8 Group 1 toppers. Australia, meanwhile, are on the verge of elimination.
What does this victory mean? That, India have qualified as the toppers of Group 1. What's the advantage? In case the semi-final against England – on 27 June at Guyana – is washed out, India will qualify for the final by virtue of being the group toppers. And, England fans wouldn't want to hear this, but it is very likely that the semi-final contest will be a rain-affected one.
We will bring you all live updates from that semi-final. Till then, good night!
