By making the semifinals, Australia now guarantees themselves a medal.
The four-person team’s event, consisting of Bernie Grueso Jnr (Victoria), Cameron Stein (Queensland), Nixon Chan (New South Wales) and Jamie Robinson (Queensland), saw a total of 33 countries competing in the initial ten-game qualification stage before it was narrowed down to the top 16 for a seven-game match play stage.
Australia qualified for the match play stage after finishing 13th in the qualification stage and continued their impressive play in the match play section, winning five games from seven. It saw them finish in second place in Group A to qualify them for a semi-final berth against the highly fancied USA.
The semi-final against the USA is scheduled for June 29 at 11.30 pm AEST. The semi-final will be the best of three games in Baker format.
