Australia reached the World Twenty20 final after beating defending champions Pakistan by three wickets at the Beausejour Stadium here on Friday. They will now play England, who beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the first semi-final here on Thursday, in Sunday's final at Barbados's Kensington Oval. 

India Need Win Both Matches for Qualify in Semi-final

After losing match against Australia now india need both of match against West Indies & Sri Lanka.

Australia have made the statement that they want to dominate the shortest format of the game in emphatic fashion. After a solid victory over Pakistan, a shaky win over Bangladesh, they've now slain the biggest dragon of the competition - India.

The clash was billed as the dress rehearsal to the final - let's hope it wasn't. Even if India do make it that far, they will want to do a lot better than they did today. They were well and truly bullied by the global force of world cricket, who snuck into the tournament unnoticed, without much fanfare and without too many billing them as favourites. That label belonged to India and Pakistan, who now both find themselves in a position where winning their next two matches is compulsory.

Australia now have the luxury of being able to slip up against either Sri Lanka or the West Indies, but after their performance tonight, one doubts there will be any sneaky banana peels attaching themselves to the Australian team's soles. The match began in the tense fashion most expected. Harbhajan Singh bowled a maiden over, all deliveries right on the money and not a single run squeezed out. That was simply a calm before a flood of runs that the other Indian bowlers leaked.

Ashish Nehra's first over went for 12 and gave both David Warner and Shane Watson an opportunity to score a boundary each. Watson was dropped off Singh in the third over and that was the catalyst for the onslaught that followed. Three bludgeoning sixes off Ravindra Jadeja's over opened the floodgates and the Aussie openers shared a century first wicket stand. That was brought up in 11 overs and proved ultimately damaging to India.

Quite simply, their spinners, barring Harbhajan, bowled too short and offered Watson and Warner too many juicy chances to find the rope, and more often, go beyond it. They hit 13 sixes and three fours between them. Jadeja paid the highest price for his short offerings, going for a ridiculous 38 runs in two overs, 36 off those runs came in six consecutive balls spread over 2 overs.

Zaheer Khan, who made a return to the team in place of the injured Praveen Kumar, was ineffective and expensive. It wouldn't be entirely improbable to think that he would sit out for R Vinay Kumar in the next match. The Indian bowlers were not at their best, that cannot be argued, but the Australian openers were magnificent.

David Hussey was the other batsman to get in, but if India had been able to snuff out the other batsman like they did Brad Haddin and Michael Hussey, they might have had a less daunting total to chase. Haddin fell to Yuvraj Singh, a delivery that spun away and allowed Dhoni to whip the bails off. Nehra got Hussey out with a yorker that knocked out Mr Cricket's leg stump.

http://www.topnews.in/files/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni.JPGNehra bowled a superb last over mixing up the slower balls and low full tosses with short deliveries and then climaxing with that dangerous yorker. India only gave away 18 runs in the last four overs of the Australian innings, and surprisingly Harbhajan didn't bowl a single one of those overs. Yuvraj, Nehra and Khan just managed to find the right formulae. For Yuvraj it was variation of pace, for Nehra it was deception with the slower ball and for Zaheer it was six fuller deliveries. Why the trio took 16 overs to discover that, only they know.

That lull in proceedings helped India hold Australia to 184 for five, when the batting side would have been eyeing in excess of 200. It is still the highest total to be scored on this ground in the tournament so far but after India saw how the pace and bounce helped Australia they would have thought conditions may have assisted them similarly.

In fact, it was exactly that which outdid the former champions. Dirk Nannes removed both openers, both of them to shots they shouldn't have played. Raina fell to a short ball, as Shaun Tait extracted good bounce from the pitch. When Nannes took his third wicket and India were 23 for four, they would have had flashbacks of the 2003 World Cup final, where chasing an improbable 359 they crashed to 59 for three.

At 42 for six, India may have been wishing it was the 2003 final when at 208 for six, with 15 overs left, they still had a sliver of a chance. All Australia had to do after that was be the Australia we all come to love to hate and clinically go about hunting down the next four batsmen. Jadeja's evening got worse as he was run out for four, and the rest fell duly after.

Rohit Sharma was the only Indian batsman to find some fight. His 79 off 46 balls epitomised everything the young man learnt over the last year. He started watchfully, accelerated in the all the right places and looked classy as he struck six sixes. The two off Steven Smith's over were particularly pleasing to watch as he came down the track for the first one and made some room for himself in the second.

He could never be a lone ranger though. India needed someone else to assist Sharma. They were out blitzed by the team that is now aiming for ultimate cricket autocracy. Australia looked like the team of world beaters that they are. This is the only format of the game where they have not laid claim to a trophy and that must have been on their minds going in to the event. They didn't even enter the tournament as one of the outright favourites. Now, they must surely be most peoples pick to win.

Pakistan lost his second match vs NZ for 1runs

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/New+Zealand+v+Pakistan+ICC+Champions+Trophy+qOsNZ2ngW9Vm.jpgPakistan's army of spinners was outstanding in Barbados to leave their side well-placed to maintain their record of never losing a Twenty20 to New Zealand. As in the second Super Eights match last year, Pakistan kept New Zealand down to a small total. Daniel Vettori, New Zealand's rescuer-in-chief, was again called on to revive his team after the struggling big names at the top left the lower-order plenty to do.


Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder provided New Zealand their first substantial start of the tournament after being sent in to bat, and a couple of McCullum boundaries at the beginning of the fourth over lifted them to 31 for 0. Ryder had kick-started the innings with a leisurely pull off Mohammad Aamer in the first over, but the innings began its slide when he picked out the man at deep square leg when trying to replay the stroke in the fourth over.

Martin Guptill was one of several New Zealand batsmen who seemed uneasy against spin. He was unconvincing against Pakistan's secondary spinners, Mohammad Hafeez and Abdur Rehman, and after being beaten by the turn a few times, he lost his patience and his wicket by trying to clear long-on, where Umar Akmal dived forward to take a low, one-handed catch.

The biggest blows for New Zealand came soon after, in the space of seven deliveries. McCullum, quieter after a series of early fours, top-edged a sweep to deep square leg, following which Ross Taylor, still to make an impact in the World Twenty20, nicked Mohammad Sami to the keeper. New Zealand slid to 58 for 4 in the tenth over, bringing in Vettori to do his familiar firefighting.

Against Shahid Afridi, who was varying his pace cleverly, and Saeed Ajmal, called on to play the Umar Gul-role of bowling four overs straight towards the end of the innings, Vettori was happy to play a series of sweeps and flat-batted hits down the ground to make more than twice his previous Twenty20 high.

Scott Styris gave him company for a while, before bottom-edging onto the stumps while attempting a cut just after having slammed Afridi for a six and a four. Vettori picked up his first two sixes in international Twenty20, and Nathan McCullum finished off the innings with a massive hit over midwicket to prop up New Zealand to 133.

India beat South Africa & Enter in Super 8 Team

Only West Indies' Chris Gayle and New Zealand's Brendon McCullum had previously made centuries in T20 World Cup.
Raina was caught off a Morne Morkel no-ball at five.

It was an amazing cricket by  left-hander Raina striking five sixes and nine fours in a blistering assault as he reached his century off 59 balls.

Together with Yuvraj Singh (37) he shared a stand of 88 in 10 overs after the pair came together with India 32 for two in the sixth over after they'd lost the toss.


Jacques Kallis, who opened in Smith's place, was nearly out for a second ball nought when a diving Yusuf Pathan at backward point just failed to hold on to a catch off the bowling of Harbhajan Singh.

Kallis, after the early loss of Loots Bosman, went on to complete a 45-ball fifty with three fours.

The experienced batsman then tried to keep South Africa on course by slog-sweeping Harbhajan for two successive sixes in the 15th over.
But a stand of 97 in 11 overs was ended when Smith was run out by Praveen Kumar's throw to wicketkeeper and India captain MS Dhoni.
Then 118 for two became 128 for three when Kallis fell on 73 after driving leg-spinner Piyush Chawla straight to Ravindra Jadeja in the deep.

South Africa though kept swinging and got the target down to 24 off the last over, bowled by Ashish Nehra and the left-arm quick conceded just nine.

India accelerated in the ninth over when Yuvraj swept spinner Roelof van der Merwe for the first six of the match and, two balls later, Raina lofted all-rounder Kallis high over wide long-on.

Both batsmen were severe on fast bowler Rory Kleinveldt, whose four overs cost 48 runs.

India took 25 runs off Kleinveldt's last over, the 18th, with Yusuf Pathan hitting the first ball for six and then taking a single.
Raina then struck three fours in a row, over long-on, through extra-cover and straight down the ground, before the batsman completed the over with a majestic six, struck off one knee and high over long-off.
Come the last over, Raina was on 95 and Dhoni was facing

But when he got on strike, for the third ball, Raina wasted little time in completing his hundred with a six over midwicket off Albie Morkel before getting out next ball.

This was only the 23-year-old Raina's 13th Twenty20 International and his score easily eclipsed his previous best of 61 not out against New Zealand in Christchurch last year.
Dhoni, whose side beat Afghanistan on Saturday, ended the innings with a six as India scored a mammoth 75 runs off the last five overs.

South Africa complete their group programme against Afghanistan in Barbados on May 5.
