New Delhi, Sept 30, 2009: Australia Pakistan score and Ind vs WI India vs West Indies live streaming. Indian hopes off making it to semifinals of Champions Trophy were dashed today when Pakistan was beaten by former World number one team Australia by a whisker. Every one was expecting Australia to win the match easily
But it proved nail biting match as Pakistani bowler proved their mettle by bowling sensibly.
The same Pakistani bowlers had demolished Indian batting line up in the only match they played against their arch rival India.
Pakistani batsmen who had piled up a match winning score in excess of three hundred runs, floundered against a more aggressive bowling attack by Australian pace battery.
No Pakistani batsman was able to complete even a half century.
India on the other hand demolished the West Indian batting line up within just thirty six overs and restricted them to merely 128 runs.
Indian pacers Praween Kumar and Ashish Nehra did a commendable job by not only being very economical but also scalping three wickets each.
Indian captain MH Dhoni too bowled a few overs and was successful in scalping a wicket.
But the start was not good as India lost two batsmen cheaply. Gambhir and Dravid lost their wickets for individual scores of six and four only.
