Ravi Kumar picked three wickets as India saw off Bangladesh for 111, but the Indian batters sustained a minor hiccup before Yash and Kaushal Tambe took them over the finish line. Angkrish Raghuvanshi had scored 44 earlier on.
Australia began their campaign with a six-wicket win over hosts West Indies, before losing to Sri Lanka. The Aussies rounded off the group stage with a seven-wicket win over Scotland.
