Four teams were in action on the sixth day of the ongoing ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2022 including India, Australia, Ireland and Scotland. Indian squad had a major scare with several members of their squad testing positive for covid-19 including their captain Yash Dhull and five others and therefore were forced to field a vastly depleted eleven.
But the team stepped up and put up a dominating show to crush Ireland in their Group B clash to qualify for the Super League quarterfinals. On the other hand, Australia sailed to a seven-wicket win to bounce back from a four-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in a Group D clash.
