ICC Champions Trophy Semifinalists Group A?

CricketTime — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:33:25 +0000

Situation is very dramatic at ICC Champions Trophy 2009 in South Africa, though Pakistan have already secured four points after winning both of their matches in the four-team Group A, while Australia have three points and India one after two games.
The West Indies have lost both of their games.Indians got thread after their game against Australia was abandoned due to heavy rain at Centurion on September 28th 2009 in Australia v India, ICC Champions Trophy, Group A Match. Only 42.3 overs have been made in this match when a violent thunderstorm struck towards the end of the innings, flooding large parts of the outfield and forcing umpires Billy Bowden and Ian Gould to declare the match a no-result.

It means that both teams were awarded a point each with Australia moving to three in the group, one behind leaders Pakistan, while India (one) and West Indies (0) on table. It leaves India with a tall order to progress to the last four with one game remaining.

India will first need to defeat West Indies on Wednesday while hoping that Australia will lose to Pakistan, who have already qualified as a result of Monday night’s match results.
