Holders England got rid of from World Cup after losing to Australia

Australia published 286 all out, while England handled 253 in reply, dropping to their 6th defeat.

Safeguarding champs England were removed from the 50-over World Cup after their 33-run defeat by Ashes competitors Australia on Saturday in Ahmedabad, India.

Australia published 286 all out with Marnus Labuschagne (71) top-scoring for them after the five-time champs were put in to bat.

England handled 253 in reply to drop to their 6th defeat in 7 matches and remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Opener Dawid Malan (50) and Ben Stokes (64) smashed half-centuries however England did not produce considerable collaborations and were bowled out in 48.1 overs.

Australia spinner Adam Zampa (3-21) was gamer of the match for his outstanding bowling that consisted of the valued wickets of England captain Jos Buttler, Stokes and Moeen Ali (42 ).

Australia are 3rd in the standings after their 5th win in 7 matches.

“It definitely seems like a low point,” Buttler stated after the side’s early exit from the 10-team competition.

“To be stood in this position, having actually gotten here in India with high hopes is exceptionally difficult and frustrating. It injures a lot.”

Previously, Chris Woakes (4-54) rattled Australia, eliminating both the openers inside 6 overs after Buttler chose to field at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

In his very first over, Travis Head’s half-hearted dab wound up in Joe Root’s safe palms in the slip.

In Woakes’s 3rd over, David Willey at midwicket had all the time in the world to settle under a sky-er after David Warner, who had actually tonked a 6 2 balls previously, mistimed his pull.

Labuschagne and Smith then fortified Australia with a 75-run collaboration however England declined to surrender.

Adil Rashid dismissed Smith and Josh Inglis in his succeeding overs to lower Australia to 117-4 near the midway phase of the Australian innings.

Cameron Green (47) and Marcus Stoinis (35) scored quickly and Zampa contributed a fast 29 go to take Australia past the 275 mark.

England’s chase got off to the worst possible start with Jonny Bairstow falling for a first-ball duck tickling a loosener from Mitchell Starc which Inglis captured diving to his.

Root fell after an eventful 17-ball stay throughout which he was dropped when, made it through an lbw evaluation, and ultimately left captured behind after Australia challenged the preliminary not-out choice.

Malan and Stokes restored England’s chase with an 84-run stand however England did not get another substantial collaboration after they fell.

Their title defence was efficiently over when Stokes swept Zampa to Stoinis at great leg.

“It’s been fantastic. The young boys have actually played remarkably, every video game we’ve discovered a method to win,” Australia captain Pat Cummins stated of their five-match winning streak.

“I still do not believe we’ve played the total video game. We’ve had various match-winners.”
