Commentary

Thank you very much for joining us - Sourabh Agarwal, Sooryanarayanan Sesha, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Mohul Bhowmick - for this game between Australia Champions and England Champions that the former won quite comfortably. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you - perhaps even a tad more! Until next time, however, take care!

Australia Champions beat England Champions by 6 wickets!

Aaron Finch 56 (23) | Brett Lee 3-28
Ian Bell 45 (30) | Dan Christian 2-14

Australia made this look like a veritable walk in the park albeit Regent Park appears to be quite a ways off from here in Birmingham. Australia beating England - isn't this the story we have heard over generations and visualised deeply?

While Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh got the party underway for the Kangaroos at the top of the order, it was Ben Cutting and Dan Christian who sealed the deal for their team and punished their arch-enemies England for bowling poorly.

The latter were rather poor with the ball in hand and allowed the Aussies to cruise to a comfortable victory here. This win will give the Aussies a lot of confidence which they will hope to carry further into the tournament.

This will also give them the momentum they need to push forth for more positive results in this tournament. It is going to be interesting to watch Australia in the matches to come.

13.6 Chris Scholefield to Ben Cutting, SIX! Australia Champions finishes it off in style. Comes down the track and launches this tossed up delivery around middle, over the bowler's head as Australia win by 6 wickets.

13.5 Chris Scholefield to Ben Cutting, tossed-up leg break around middle, Cutting goes for the sweep and gets beaten.

13.4 Chris Scholefield to Dan Christian, fuller aroud middle, inside edged down towards long on for a single.

Christian wants to go back to the hotel early!

13.3 Chris Scholefield to Dan Christian, SIX! Christian comes down the track and launches this flighted delivery around middle, back over the bowler's head for a maximum.

13.2 Chris Scholefield to Dan Christian, SIX! Christian comes down the track to the tossed-up delivery around off and launches this inside out and comfortably cllears the nsweeper cover fence.

13.1 Chris Scholefield to Dan Christian, shorter length outside off, Christian has enough time to cut that away towards sweeper cover, great footwork from Owais Shah and a couple of runs taken.

Chris Schofield [2-0-43-1] is back into the attack.

13 overs have been bowled now. Australia need just 20 runs to win this game - they are almost there. If England want a miracle, they need it now!
