After 27 years, England reaches Finals of World Cup
On this day, Last year, England and Australian teams met at Birmingham, to play at Semi Finals of 2019 Cricket World Cup. The ground may be one of the home venues of England Cricket Team. But, at previous face off, during the league stage of the tournament, Aussies have won against the Englishmen. Whatever it is, at the semi final round, no previous records would matter. Which team plays better, will win the game ( Just like the semi final match between India and New Zealand ). Also, Aussies have lost their key batsmen, Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh with prior to injuries. Also, they both are the teams having a long unending rivalry ( on field ) and both fight for just a 5 inch cup made up of wood.
Australia have won the toss and decided to bat first. English bowlers right on the top with deadly pace attack. Aussies main openers were gone back to the pavilion with low scores. In this tournament, Aussies have won almost every matches when both of their openers fired at their start. So, their first winning formula has been broken. It was some serious teaser from England cricket team. The score was 14/3 at the end of 6 overs. Peter Handscomb, playing his first match in this World Cup, failed to get adapted to these conditions. Steve Smith and Alex Carey, fought hard and gave some resistance. But, the intensity of England's Pace Attack were humongous. During the 8th over, a quick bouncer from Jofra Archer, had hit Alex Carey's Jaw which is followed by the flow of blood from his Jaw. But, even though the blood is being flown, Alex Carey continued his play by attaching a plaster at his jaw. His batting were so crucial and fought back. He added 46 runs with Steve Smith, also scoring a tough, gritty half century. After their resistance, it seemed that the match is back on Australia's track. Now, the Englishmen, fought back by picking up another flurry of wickets, leaving Steve Smith stranded at one end. A major middle order and lower middle order collapse, saw Australia team to get bowled out for mere 223 runs. This score is even though not a big one to win the Semi finals, this is still challenging as Cricket is a funny Game.
Aussies had their full hope of Mitchell Starc, who had been leading wicket taker of the tournament. Also, he had been a savior with saving their team from defeats for almost 4 to 5 matches with his brilliant spells. Today, many expected some breath taking spells from Mitchell Starc and Jason Beherendoreff. but, what had occurred was purely dominance from England Team. Right from the first over, English team had started attacking the spearheads of Aussies Cricket Team. Jason Roy was blistering at one end, with targeting mainly the likes of Mitchell Starc and Jason Beherendoreff. With this counter attack, Aussie's another winning formula has also been destroyed. The openers were keen to disturb Aussie's line and length. Jason Roy scored a quick fire 85 which completely took the game away from the Aussies. Then, some final finishing touches from Joe Root and Eoin Morgan look their team through to the finals. England team reached the World Cup Finals after 27 years, in their home. Will they win it ?
Man of the Match was awarded to Chris Woakes for his sharp bowling figures of 3/20 at his 8 overs. Particularly, his most important scalps, during the point of time, when his team needs the most.
