India have moved into the ICC World Twenty20 semi-finals with 6 wickets victory over Australia in Mohali.
Virat Kohli's unbeaten 82 off 51 balls sealed a chase of 161-run target of Australia and India booked their World T20 semi-final spot.
Steven Smith won the toss and chose to bat in Australia's quasi quarter-final against India in Mohali of India.
A narrow win by India over Bangladesh, followed by Australia's 21-run triumph against Pakistan, has effectively reduced Sunday's group encounter into a knockout, with the winner making it to the semi-finals.
Both lost their opening games of this tournament to New Zealand. Both beat Pakistan. And both scraped home against Bangladesh, though not without some palpitations.
Now, 12 days after the tournament proper began, the parallels will end, with one of these teams to move through to the semi-finals.
Not that everything has been the same for these two teams. India's selectors have stuck firm throughout the tournament, using the same 11 players in every match so far.
The last time India played at home to Australia in a world event was the quarter-final of the 2011 World Cup, when MS Dhoni's men triumphed in Ahmedabad.
They went on to win that tournament at home, one of the greatest moments in Indian cricket. If they are to repeat that success in the World T20, they must first get through this quasi quarter-final.
