Australia eliminated defending champions England from the ICC World Cup with a 33-run victory. Spinner Adam Zampa was the standout performer, contributing with both bat and ball. England failed to chase down Australia’s target of 287 and were bowled out for 253. This loss marked England’s sixth defeat in seven matches, leaving them at the bottom of the table. Australia’s win brought them one step closer to securing a place in the semi-finals alongside India and South Africa, who have already qualified. Zampa’s leg-spin proved instrumental as he claimed three wickets for 21 runs to dampen England’s hopes. Despite a valiant 64 from Ben Stokes, England’s batting line-up faltered. Zampa also played a crucial role with the bat, scoring 29 runs. Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali’s quick dismissals resulted in England’s downfall. Mitchell Starc’s early wickets and Pat Cummins’ breakthrough dismissed key English batsmen. Australia’s victory was set up by their batsmen, especially Marnus Labuschagne who top-scored with 71 runs. Contributions from Steve Smith, Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, and Zampa also played a significant role in Australia’s total. Chris Woakes was the standout bowler for England, claiming four wickets.
