ICC U-19 World Cup | It’s India vs Australia in blockbuster match
The Hindu
While India is now back to full strength, Australia will be on a high after its convincing win over Pakistan
Heavyweights India and Australia will face off in a blockbuster Super League semifinal of the U-19 World Cup here on Wednesday, having beaten their opponents on the field and COVID-19 off it, on way to the last-four stage.
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 champion started the tournament on the right note, overcoming a good South Africa side by 45 runs, but soon ran into a situation where the team was struggling to field a playing XI after multiple players were found to have contracted COVID-19 hours before their match against Ireland.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
