Aussie looking forward their sixth title
Another big match of this tournament held at Lords, where the hosts England met their all time rivalry Australia in a crucial match. Fans around world eagerly looking forward for ODI Ashes. England started the tournament well but the loss against Sri lanka put them in a critical situation now. Like they have to win atleast two from the remaining three games. But the sad statistic is They never won against India, Australia and New Zealand in world cups after 1992. And fate their remaining three games against the above mentioned countries.
Eoin Morgan made the first match changing moment at toss itself. He select to field first even after winning the toss. In first 20 overs itself Morgan realised his mistake. Both Warner and Finch sticked into the crease. Finch scored half century first followed by Warner. Moen Ali gave the first turning point for England by taking Warner for 53 runs. After that Australia projected score decreasing gradually. Aaron Finch alone completed his second century (100 from 116 balls with 11 boundaries and 2 sixes) in this tournament. Smith (38 runs) and Khawajah (23 runs) supported Finch. Alex Carey's much needed 38 from 27 balls helped Australia to finish with 285/7 at the end of 50 overs. Woakes, Stokes and Adil bowled too economically for England because of them they restricted Aussie less than 300 runs.
England started the chase with Bairstow and Vince. Vince failed to use his opportunity once again. Behendorff and Starc collapsed England top order. England became 53/4 from 14 overs. Ben Stokes and Buttler trying to recover the team from that collapse. But Usman Khawajah send Buttler to pavilion by taking a wonderful catch near the boundary line. Other side Ben completed his half century and marching towards hundred as well as the chase. Aussie death specialist Mitchell Starc bowled stokes from a wonderful yorker with reverse swing. Such an unplayable ball bowled from the tall man. Stokes gone for 89 runs. Behendorff crushed England tail enders in his second spell. England went all out for 221 runs. Rashid 25 runs and Woakes 26 runs helped England to cross 200 runs. Jason Behendorff registered his first 5 wicket haul in world cup (5/44runs).Starc shines on the other end with 4 wickets for 43 runs.
Man of the Match: Aaron Finch (100 runs from 116 balls with 11 boundaries and 2 sixes)
Australia beat their Ashes rivalry England by 64 runs and confirmed the semi final berth as first team. Now they are looking for their sixth title. England condition was now too pity, they have to both the games against India and New Zealand. But its not so easy as like said. Both teams didnt experience any defeat in this tournament as of now. If England win against any one of them, they should wait for the result of pakistan and bangladesh. Next match of the tournament between Pakistan and New Zealand will give some clarity for England about their semi final chance.
