WC 2019: Australia enters semi-finals after defeating England

Captain Aaron Finch was a satisfied man after Australia defeated England comprehensively by 64 runs and became the first team to qualify for the semifinals in the ongoing World Cup.

 

On Tuesday, Australia rode on a brilliant hundred from Finch as they posted a competitive total of 285/7 in challenging conditions at the Lord's.

 

What England needed was a solid performance from their batters, especially the top four in absence of their regular opener Jason Roy to chase down the target. However, they failed to do so and were eventually bundled out for 221 inside 45 overs, thus registering their second defeat it four days.
