The target ended too steeply for Australia because they became used to 194 at 41.5 overs.
With a 96-run winner of four times India advanced to the fourth final in a row.
“The plan from me and Rasheed is for bats to the end, and it works.
The idea is to bat firmly, not to try too many shots, and for bats through the 40th peak,” Dhull said on a post-match presentation.

We adapt well to the conditions quickly, each session gets better, “Conolly said.
