Team 1 & 2 defeated in the semi finals, Team 3 & 4 making it to the final.
England defeated Australia comprehensively.
It will be a good final to watch. #ENGvAUS #SemiFinal2

Australia were no match to England on the day!
England have played some poor cricket recently but they should know that they aren’t a poor team. Their best chance of getting out of this funk is to trust the strategy that took them to pre-tournament favourites; not abandon it. Three losses doesn’t invalidate four years. #CWC19

An impressive knock from Roy!
England in the #CWC19 final...a first World Cup final after '92. Much needed for English cricket. Jason Roy the standout player for the hosts. But credit to Smith and Carey for fighting the way they did. Let's review this semi-final in this episode of Castrol Activ #AakashVani. pic.twitter.com/6fBu4VaWen
