They are yet not there, but India have done well to keep themselves alive in this competition. They would now hope for a loss to either one of Australia or South Africa tomorrow to book their semifinal slot.
A nervous wait awaits Shafali Verma and co.
Soumya Tiwari does it for India. Gets a boundary towards square leg, before pocketing a quick single to get it done. Easy win for India, and they stay alive in the Women's U19 World Cup for a semifinal spot.
IND: 60/3 (7.2)
With just five needed, Shweta Sehrawat tries to go big. Fails to get hold of it and is caught by a backtracking Vishmi Gunarathne in a stunning fashion at covers. Vihanga finishes with three wickets.
IND: 55/3 (7)
Sehrawat gets into the party with a couple of boundaries as India rake up 50 in powerplay. They need just 10 more to win.
IND: 50/2 (6)
Soumya Tiwari takes it upon herself and smashes Vihanga to three boundaries in a over without taking much risks. The first a delightful flick, the second a shot down the ground, and the third a half tracker pulled to the fine leg fence.
IND: 38/2 (5)
India promote Richa Ghosh at number 3 and all she can do is get a boundary before walking back. Vihanga has her second wicket with Ghosh caught at slip.
