I think the editorial team in this site needs to lose a few jobs. If India finish the highest in their group, they will face Australia in the QFs, that is the fact. Australia can only get as high as 3rd from their group after losses to Belgium and Spain. thus, if India want to avoid Australia, they should try and come 3rd or 4th in their group.
Secondly, i see no reason why India should try and avoid Australia. Looking at the way the Australians are playing and looking at the way the Indians are playing, i can say with confidence that we will thump Australia quite convincingly.
