Mirpur: Yuvraj Singh roared back to form with a pugnacious 60 off 43 balls to steer India to 159-7 in the World Twenty20 Super-10 match against Australia in Dhaka on Sunday.
Left-handed Yuvraj, who made one and 10 in the two innings he got to bat in the tournament, launched a spectacular counter-attack that included five boundaries and four sixes.
India, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, are looking for a fourth successive win in their last group two match.
Australia and Bangladesh are already out of contention, leaving Pakistan and the West Indies to battle for the second semi-final spot from the group on Tuesday.
India, whose previous three wins came while batting second, were given first strike by Australian captain George Bailey and found themselves in immediate trouble.
