Pakistan's loss to Aussies throws Team India out of Champions Trophy |
Team India ran out of luck, as Pakistan lost to Australia
by two wickets in the crucial match on Wednesday at the Centurion despite a spectacular
endeavour till last ball of the final over of the match. With Pakistan's loss,
India moved out of the ongoing Champions' Trophy as to qualify for the semi-final
India needed to beat West Indies with a huge margin on Wednesday in Johannesburg
and the Pakistan should beat Australia on the same day in a separate match here.
Australia, in a match they were required to win to qualify for the Champions Trophy
semi-finals, were cruising at 140 for 2 at one stage, after restricting Pakistan
to a paltry 205. However, the Aussies appeared crumbling like a pack of cards
after Ricky Ponting's dismissal and the team lost six wickets within 40 runs.
However, Brett Lee kept his cool during the final overs, as the asking rate rose
and resources grew thin, and secured a thrilling two-wicket victory off the final
ball. Australia will now face England in the semi-final in Centurion, while Pakistan
will take on New Zealand in Johannesburg. |
