India are unbeaten in the tournament so far, having beaten Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA in the group stage and later played out a washout against Canada. In the second round, the Men in Blue outclassed both Afghanistan and Bangladesh. A victory will seal the top spot in Group 1 for the Rohit Sharma-led side and set up a semi-final against England.

Australia won all four games in the group stage and their opening match of the super 8 round against Bangladesh, but were handed a shock defeat by Afghanistan. Australia will be left dependent on the Bangladesh-Afghanistan result if they lose to India.

The only way India can be knocked out is if they suffer a heavy defeat (41 runs or target chased in 14-16 overs) and Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by a big margin.

Toss: The toss is scheduled to take place at 7:30 PM IST

Pitch Report: The pitch so far in St. Lucia has been the most batting friendly in the tournament. However, this is only the second day game at the venue. The first 10:30 AM local time start between England and South Africa saw a total of 163 successfully defended by Proteas.

Weather Report: A big rain threat looms over of the game with rain hitting the islands on the day of the match. A stop-start game is very likely.
