Australia beat England by 64 runs at Lord’s on Tuesday to book their spot in the semi-finals of World Cup 2019. After being put into to bat, Australia posted a fighting total of 285/7. Australian captain Aaron Finch led the charge with
the bat with a fine hundred and was well supported by David Warner, who scored a half-century. For England, Chris Woakes was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/46. Chasing a tricky total of 286, England suffered a top-order
collapse as they slumped to 26 for three inside the first 10 overs. Ben Stokes tried to get his team over the line, but his innings was cut-short by a brilliant yorker from Mitchell Starc. Jason Behrendorff picked up five wickets to confirm
Australia’s place in the semi-finals of World Cup 2019. England now have to win all of their remaining matches to reach the last four of the ongoing World Cup.
