Yuki stunned second seeded Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 in the boys' singles semifinal at Kallang Tennis Centre on the fifth day of the Games to at least assure India of another silver. In the summit clash, the sixth-seeded Indian will take on Juan Sebastian Gomez of Colombia who beat Victor Baluda of Russia 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 in the other semifinal. Yuki had on Wednesday braved cramps to get the better of Ireland's John Morrissey in the quarterfinals. Wrestlers had won two medals for India. Pooja Dhanda had bagged a silver in women's 60kg freestyle while Kadian Satyawart fetched a bronze in men's 100kg freestyle. Shuttler H S Prannoy is also assured of at least a silver after stunning top seed Kang Ji Wook of Korea in the singles semifinal on Wednesday. He, however, will have to wait longer in his quest for a gold medal as his final match against Pisit Poodchalat of Thailand has been rescheduled. The other Indian who impressed on Thursday was Durgesh Kumar who won the boys 400m race heat number two with an effort of 52.20sec to qualify for the final round. In basketball, Indian boys lost to New Zealand 12-17 in a Group A preliminary round match. In swimming, Aaron Agnel D'Souza finished fifth in boys 100m freestyle second semifinal with a timing of 51.49sec. He had qualified for the semifinals after finishing fourth in the heat number five. In women's 100m butterfly, Arhatha Magavi finished a disappointing eighth in heat number four. India fielded 32 competitors in the inaugural edition of the Games which is meant for athletes in the age group of 14 to 18.

India enter Emerging Players Tournament final
Melbourne: India huffed and puffed to a two-wicket win against Australia AIS in their third league game of the Emerging Players Tournament to book a place in the final of the 50-over leg.
Jaydev Unadkat's dream spell of four wickets for eight runs restricted AIS to just 127 runs. However, Indian batting almost caved in but for a sensible 32 by Cheteshwar Pujara and 23 not out by Manish Pandey in the end.
Though the Indian openers Abhinav Mukund (27) and Shikhar Dhawan (20) began well, quick wickets pegged India back to 95/5, when Manish Pandey distorted down to overhaul the not enough target with two wickets to spare.
India will play South Africa in the final on August 20, 2010.
