ICC World Cup 2023, Australia vs England awards: Australia beat England 33 runs in match 36 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday (November 5).

A half-century from Marnus Labuschagne (71) and a fine bowling performance from spinner Adam Zampa (3/21) helped Australia push themselves further ahead in the race for the semifinal spot. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins took two wickets each.

After posting 286 against their Ashes rivals, thanks chiefly to Labuschagne's 71, Cameron Green's 47, Steven Smith's 44 and Marcus Stoinis' 35, Zampa returned with superb bowling figures of 3/21 to dismiss England for 253 in 48.1 overs and end whatever slim hopes they had of making it to the semifinals.

Mitchell Starc (2/66) and captain Pat Cumins (2/49) too struck at crucial moments of the match for the five-time champions. For England, Dawid Malan (50) and Ben Stokes (64) struck half-centuries, while Moeen Ali contributed 42. Earlier, England bowlers Chris Woakes (4/54), Adil Rashid (2/38) and Mark Wood (2/70) restricted Australian batters to a sub-300 total.

Australia vs England: Who Said What

Pat Cummins (Australia captain): "It's been great, the boys played brilliantly, we're getting better with each match. We've improved with each game, still not playing the perfect game. It's something we pride ourselves on, we didn't start well, but the boys have put their hands up, ever since the first 2 games.

"He has been bowling beautifully in the last 3 games (on Zampa), made 29 and took a banger (of a catch). We thought it was a good wicket and would probably break up to his strength. Maxi and Mitchy will be back, they have had a great tournament and for the others to come in and put in a performance was nice.

"It wasn't too bad tonight (on the dew), sometimes we do see players getting wet as they slide on, but it wasn't that bad today."

Jos Buttler (England captain): "Disappointment, we were having the same chat after the match. Improvements today, more with the bat, but we were still well short, no complaints if you lose by 30 runs.

"A low point as a captain, you stand in this position, you came to India with high hopes and expectations, we haven't done ourselves any justice, everyone knows how much hard work we've put, these losses weigh high on our shoulders.

"We did well (with the ball), but we could have done better, we let them put up frustrating little partnerships. With the dew around, we backed ourselves and we fell 30 runs short. It was the right shot to play (on his dismissals), the execution wasn't great, I was trying to take it back to them.

"I haven't played as well as I can, in such a pivotal position, I think I let myself and my team down. Only way to come back is to put in the hard yards at the nets and come back better in the next game."

Adam Zampa (Man of the Match): "I mean just summing up the conditions was important. We batted really well to get to 286. The ground got really dewy. Attacking the stumps was important. It came out as good as it ever has.

"Felt really good. Just tried to be really positive and bat out the 50 overs. Was important to rotate the strike. One of those days. Felt satisfying. Hopefully my best is yet to come."
