Australia should be wary of India, who are growing in confidence with every match, if they advance to the semifinal round of the World Cup, according to Australian media reports.
According to News.com.au, Australia would, if they beat Pakistan on Friday, face an Indian side far more formidable than the one they pulversied during the summer.
Lauding India's fielding, the report stated that athletic catches, a sharp run-out - tasks that seemed bothersome in December are now shelled peanuts.
India will play the winner of Friday's quarterfinal clash between Pakistan and Australia on March 26 in Sydney.
