India cemented top spot in Group B in the Under-19 World Cup as a 10-wicket thrashing of Zimbabwe maintained the three-time champions' 100 per cent record.

India - for whom left-arm spinner Anukul Roy bagged 4-20 from 7.1 overs - crushed Australia by 100 runs in their opening fixture, before beating Papua New Guinea by 10 wickets.
Prithvi Shaw's side are now likely to face Bangladesh in their quarter-final on January 26, though they could yet face England if Harry Brook's side falter against Canada in their final Group B fixture.
England are two from two following victories over Namibia and Bangladesh and will top the group and set up a meeting with Group B runners-up Australia if they beat Canada in Queenstown on Saturday.
Australia will head into their last-eight encounter on the back of a 311-run hammering of Papua New Guinea - Jason Sangha's side racking up 370-8 before skittling their opponents for just 59. AUS v PNG SCORECARD
Nathan McSweeney (156), Sangha (88) and Param Uppal (61) were in the runs for Australia, while seamer Jason Ralston was the star with the ball, taking 7-15, the second-best figures in youth ODIs after Irfan Pathan's 9-16 for India against Bangladesh in 2003.
Pakistan, meanwhile, ensured they joined Afghanistan in progressing from Group D - Muhammad Musa's back-to-back sixes sealing a three-wicket win over Sri Lanka, who are now eliminated. SL v PAK SCORECARD
