24 January 2012

A cricket video for Cricket World TV about the latest cricket news looking back at two major stories - Australia's fine start to the fourth and final Test against India in Adelaide and the changes sweeping through Sri Lanka Cricket.

In Adelaide, Australia overcame a poor start when they slipped to 84 for three to close on 335 for three. Excellent unbeaten centuries from Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke put them in the ascendency as India continued to struggle. Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka, Tillakaratne Dilshan has resigned as captain and been replaced for the Commonwealth Bank ODI series in Australia by Mahela Jayawardene.

Latest News Updates
The dust has barely settled on Sri Lanka's 20-run victory over Australia that saw them into the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 semi-finals but Mahela Jayawardene is already looking ahead to the clash with India. The elegant right-hander stroked an unbeaten 84 to set up Sri Lanka's winning score of 253 for eight and says that he is looking forward to taking on India, who sailed through the group stages with three wins in three.
Sri Lanka survived a late Australian fightback to take a 20-run win and claim their place in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. After half-centuries from Mahela Jayawardene and Lahiru Thirimanne had set them up for a score of 253 for eight, they needed three wickets from Nuwan Kulasekara and a brilliant caught and bowled by Tillakaratne Dilshan at the end to dismiss Australia for 233.
In another day of high drama at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, England beat New Zealand by 10 runs to secure a place in the semi-finals. For a large part of the day it didn't look like any play was possible but the tournament hosts eventually came out on top of a 24 overs-per-side match in Cardiff.
India maintained their winning record at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 with an eight-wicket victory over Pakistan, eventually escaping the rain showers in Birmingham. Shikhar Dhawan made 48 as India reached an adjusted target of 102 in 22 overs having earlier dismissed Pakistan for 165 in 39.4 overs.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2013 continues to produce drama, none more so than in the tied match between South Africa and West Indies in Cardiff. The rain set in moments after Kieron Pollard's dismissal had levelled the scores on the Duckworth/Lewis method, and as the players were unable to return, South Africa qualified for the semi-finals.
There may be little more than pride at stake for Pakistan when they take on arch-rivals India in tomorrow's ICC Champions Trophy Group B clash at Edgbaston, but captain Misbah-ul-Haq says he is relishing the task of taking them on. Misbah, who averages 41 against India in ODIs, says that despite the fact that Pakistan have already been eliminated following defeats to South Africa and West Indies, the match is an important one.
