India, unbeaten so far in the tournament, will face Australia in a Super Eight match on June 24 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia.

Australia won all five of their group-stage matches, while India won three and had one washed out. They then defeated Afghanistan in their Super Eight opener.
