India to take on Australia in semifinal of ICC U19 World Cup in Antigua today

Antigua: Four-time champions India will take on Australia in the Semifinal of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022 at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua today. The match will start at 6.30 PM Indian Time.

India’s campaign has been hit with COVID-19 after Indian captain Yash 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. 

Now Sindhu has recovered from COVID-19 and will be available for selection for the semifinal. Record four-time champions India had beaten Australia in the warm-up game ahead of their tournament opener against South Africa.
