Australian skipper Rickey Ponting’s 104 took Aussies to 260 runs total against India in the crucial match on Thursday at the Sardar Patel Stadium. Haddin and Watson started well scoring 53 and 25 runs, respectively. Indian spinners did not allow any Australian batsman to play strokes freely.

While Brad Haddin had played a superb hand to lay a great platform but didn’t carry on, driving Yuvraj to cover where Suresh Raina took a sharp catch. Rickey Ponting made 104 from 118 balls with seven fours and a six as it was his 30 th One-day International hundred and the fifth in World Cups.

David Hussey scored 38 vital runs for his team at the end of the innings. Ashwin, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh picked 2 wickets each. Now this is the big sign of interrogation that will Rickey Ponting’s century be able to save Australia from defeat?  For the answer of this complex question, we should have to wait till the match end. So, let’s see what does become off! India or Australia will play Pakistan at Mohali, India, in a semifinal on March 30.
