Fiji fought back to beat Georgia 17-12 in Bordeaux and move closer to a World Cup quarter-final place, but their failure to claim a bonus point keeps Australia's slim hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive.
Anxious and error-prone Fiji fought back to beat fading Georgia 17-12 on Saturday and remain on course for the World Cup quarter-finals, pushing Australia to the brink of elimination.
Fiji scored two second-half tries as they rebounded from a nine-point half-time deficit to tighten their grip on second place in Group C, but their failure to collect a bonus point left Australia with a slight hope of avoiding a first ever group-stage elimination.
Former Indian cricket team spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan launched a huge attack on Ravichandran Ashwin citing his record against SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries and even suggesting that pitches were 'doctored' specifically to help him. Ashwin made a sensational comeback to Team India for the recent concluded ODI series against Australia and he was picked as the replacement for the injured Axar Patel in India's squad for Cricket World Cup 2023. Sivaramakrishnan suggested that Indian batters are struggling to play spin as the pitches are doctored for Ashwin.
Australian cricket team fast bowler Mitchell Starc started his preparation for Cricket World Cup 2023 on a perfect note as he claimed a hat-trick during the warm-up match against Netherlands on Saturday. The veteran pacer struck on the fifth ball of the first over of the Netherlands innings as he trapped Max O'Dowd LBW with an in-swinger that nipped back late. One ball later, it was Wesley Barresi who fell victim to his pace as he tricked him with another in-swinger that crashed into the top of the off-stump. Starc had to wait one over to get his hat-trick but he made no mistake as Bas de Leede was clean bowled on the first ball of the third over with yet another in-swinger.
