While India still remains the only undefeated side in the tournament, having won 10 out of 10 matches, Australia bounced back brilliantly with eight consecutive wins to lock up a high-profile final match against India.

Final qualification

India headed to the semi-final match against New Zealand after winning all of their nine league matches as they were the first team to make it to the final four, having topped the standings after the league stage.

India defeated New Zealand by 70 runs in the first semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to qualify for the final.

Australia had a disappointing start to the tournament, having lost their first two matches. They bounced back brilliantly and won their remaining seven matches of the league stage to qualify for the semi-final.
