In the quarter-final, India defeated Bangladesh by 5 wickets and eased their way through to the semi-final of the U19 WC.

This win completed India's sweet revenge over Bangladesh, against whom India had lost in the final of the previous edition of the U19 World Cup. 

On the other hand, Australia eased past Pakistan in the quarter-final, while England won a close match against South Africa. The surprising team, Afghanistan, defeated Sri Lanka while defending a score of just 135 runs.

"Our team combination has been very good and the boys are gelling well. Whenever someone is down, we all get together to bring them up. It is a lifetime experience here. The team is improving day by day," Yash Dhull, Indian captain told ANI.
