Australia ended India's unbeaten streak at the event with a resounding 4-0 win on Wednesday.

Despite the loss, however, India continue to lead the points table with nine points, while Australia are placed third after New Zealand in second place. With three wins in their kitty and the game against New Zealand to come, India are strong contenders for a potential slot in the final.
