India vs Australia Highlights, U19 World Cup semifinal: India beat Australia by 96 runs to reach fourth consecutive final

India's preparations for the age-group showpiece were impacted heavily by the virus, with hardly any national camps or tournaments in the last two years except the recent Asia Cup. The four-time champions started the tournament on the right note, overcoming a good South Africa side by 45 runs, but soon ran into a situation where they were struggling to field a playing XI after multiple players were found to have contracted COVID-19 hours before their match against Ireland.

Heavyweights India and Australia face off in a blockbuster semifinal, having beaten their opponents on the field and COVID-19 off it, on way to the last four stage.
