India comes into this match with the momentum of three consecutive wins and will be keen to keep their perfect record intact. Australia, however, cannot be taken lightly, especially after their dominant 5-1 win over Japan. India’s attacking prowess, led by Tiwari and Arshdeep, could be the deciding factor, but Australia’s Grobbelaar and Downey are more than capable of causing an upset.
Prediction: India to win, but Australia could pose a stiff challenge.
