Australia are closing in on a World Cup semi-final berth after a pulsating five-run win over New Zealand, who came perilously close to pulling off the biggest successful run chase in the tournament’s history. Australia appeared in the box seat after a 175-run opening stand from a fit-again Travis Head and an in-form David Warner. The pair propelled the Aussies to a formidable total of 388 in Dharamshala on Saturday.
” After beginning the India-based tournament with consecutive defeats, Pat Cummins’ side have now won four games in a row and will likely make the knockout stage even if they lose one more. They will start favourites in their three remaining group-stage games against out-of-sorts England as well as Afghanistan and Bangladesh. In his first hit-out since breaking his hand six weeks ago, World Cup debutant Head partnered with Warner to punish the Kiwis for sending Australia in to bat.
