Group A, Match 6 IND vs AUS: Just another batting practice for Australia
Oct 29, 2006
Australia methodically disseminated the Indian seamers and reached the target with 6 wickets and 26 balls to spare.
Watson 50, Ponting 58 and Martyn 73* all hit half centuries while Sreesanth took 2 wickets.
They will meet New Zealand in the Semis.
Earlier India lost Sachin Tendulkar early for 10 (26 balls), but fought back with fifties by Virender Sehwag (65) and Rahul Dravid (52) to reach 249/8 in 50 overs. Kaif (30) and Dhoni (28) also chipped in with useful runs.
The injured Yuvraj Singh and Ajit Agarkar were replaced by Shantakumaran Sreesanth and Dinesh Mongia, while Mohammad Kaif is in for Rudra Pratap Singh.
Reported Earlier:
Australia is keeping the same side which beat England as they look to go beyond the semis for the first time in the tournament's history. If India lose it will be the first time since the 1975 World Cup that no subcontinental team will be in the last four of a major competition.
Australia (Playing XI): A C Gilchrist, S R Watson, R T Ponting, D R Martyn, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, M J Clarke, M G Johnson, B Lee, N W Bracken, G D McGrath

ICC Champions Trophy, Mohali: Australia (250-4) beat India 249-8 by six wickets
India versus Australia - the Virtual QF
Oct 29, 2006
India are playing Australia in their last league tie at Mohali in a do-or-die situation.
In the 13 games that India played Australia after the last World Cup, they managed to win only twice - both times with the help of centuries from VVS Laxman.
But VVS Laxman is not in the team, and the ODI sepecialists who replaced him are not doing any thing special for some time now.
With openers Sehwag, who averages just 22.15 against them and Sachin, with scores of 5, 8, 27, 12 and 4 in the last five innings against Asutralia, things are not looking bright for the Indians.
Sreesanth, who was left out of the team might play today inplace of Agarkar who is out with an injury.
Yuvraj is also out of the list, after injuring himself while playing Kho-Kho just before the all important game!
