Australia Shocks England, Eliminates Defending Champions from World Cup
Australia knocked out defending champions England from the ODI World Cup with a 33-run win. Adam Zampa's three breakthroughs in the middle overs proved crucial as England's batting lineup struggled once again. Despite valiant efforts from Ben Stokes, Dawid Malan, and Moeen Ali, Zampa's decisive blows limited England to 253 runs. Australia's batsmen, including Marnus Labuschagne, failed to convert their starts but managed to post a total of 286. Australia's sharp fielding and England's missed opportunities contributed to Australia's fifth consecutive victory.
