MELBOURNE :New Zealand became the first team to reach the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals with a victory over Ireland on Friday but Australia face a wait to see if they will be staying in the tournament despite a nervy win over Afghanistan.
MELBOURNE : Aaron Finch returned to form with a timely half-century but finished under an injury cloud as Australia eased to a 42-run win over Ireland at the T20 World Cup on Monday to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
Australia eased to a 42-run win over Ireland at the T20 World Cup on Monday to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
MELBOURNE : Australia captain Aaron Finch said his team cannot afford to take Ireland lightly in Monday's T20 World Cup contest, specially after Andy Balbirnie's side pulled off a massive giant-killing act against England.
MELBOURNE : Australia's Super 12 position at the T20 World Cup is similar to that of last year's victorious campaign, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell said, predicting his team would make the semi-finals again with comfortable victories in their last two matches.
Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has tested positive for Covid-19 at the Twenty20 World Cup but is expected to play in Friday's crucial clash with England, the team said.
Explosive all-rounder Cameron Green on Thursday replaced injured reserve wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis in Australia's T20 squad. The 27-year-old Inglis sustained an injury in a freak accident while playing golf when his six-iron snapped and cut his hand open at the New South Wales Club in La Perouse. "The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 has approved Cameron Green as a replacement for Josh Inglis in the Australia squad," ICC said in a statement.
Aaron Finch's men when they flick the switch to tournament mode this week. An underdone Australia gelled superbly during last year's triumph in the United Arab Emirates and 14 of that 15-man squad will bid for back-to-back titles on home pitches over the next few weeks. Since blanking twice champions West Indies at the start of the month, Australia have lost two warm-up matches to England and another against India in Brisbane on Monday as selectors tinker and players are rested. Finch made a welcome return to form with a half-century against India, though, and Australia had another burden lifted on Tuesday when Pat Cummins was confirmed as captain of the one-day side, an issue that threatened to become a distraction through the tournament.
