Finch, Behrendorff Blows England to Seal Semi-Final Berth.


England and Australia the Ashes Rivals Faced off in one of the most anticipated and hottest contests of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Lords one of the historic Venues in the country. On an overcast day England won the toss and opted to feild on an overcast day. England had never won a game against Australia in World cup's since 1992 and continuing on that reputation Finch and warner started off positively and proved england captains eion morgon's decision wrong. Both finch and warner added 123 for the opening wicket before warner was dismissed by root on 53. After that khawaja and finch shared another half century stand for the second wicket. Khawaja who was looking good couldn't capatilise on a start and was bowled by stokes on 23. Then steve smith and aaron finch joined in one of the most crucial stands in this innings, both scored runs quickly and and that stage it looked Australia might well get across 300 mark. In between this aaron finch scored his second ton of this event. Soon after finch scored a ton he was dismissed by jofra archer. After that looking for momentum australia couldn't capitalize on a solid start and lost wickets on regular intervals. Alex carey's some late order burts helped Australia to post a competitive 285-7 in alloted fifty overs.
Chasing a target of 286 England's opening duo of bairstow and Vince failed again. Vince who was replaced by Roy were not so impressive again. He was dismissed for a golden duck by jason behrendorff's inswing. England lost their top batsmen Vince, root and morgan at the score of 23 only. Mitchell starc was the main architect for this destruction. Only Ben stokes Showed some resistance with a handy 89. Rest of the english batsmen were below average while chasing a stiff target. Jason behrendorf who was playing his first match blows england with a five wicket haul and he was supported by Mitchell starc who dismissed four english batsmen to send england in a state of tatters. England were folded on 221 in 44.4 overs falling short by 64 runs. With this win defending champions Australia becomes the first team in this years world cup to qualify for the top four.
