Adam Zampa-inspired Australia have avoided more heartbreak at the hands of Ben Stokes to defeat England by 33 runs and all but secure a Cricket World Cup semi-final spot. Making 286 after being sent in to bat by England captain Jos Buttler, Australia looked likely winners in Ahmedabad until Stokes slowly played himself in. The England star struggled early in his innings, but hung around to create doubt in Australian minds and remind them of his previous heroics.
Third-placed Australia are a game clear of Pakistan and New Zealand with a match in hand, meaning they only need to win one of their remaining clashes with Afghanistan and Bangladesh to be safe in the top four. But Australia will be desperate to finish second or third to avoid playing red-hot India in the semi-finals. “I feel like every game we’ve just improved a little bit,” Australia captain Pat Cummins said.
