Defending champions Australia needed to contain their opposition to 106 runs or fewer to overhaul England's net run rate even before England play Sri Lanka in their final group game on Saturday. The hosts managed 168 for 8 from their 20 overs on the back of Maxwell's knock after Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi took five wickets between them to restrict their opponents to a total that looked competitive for the match but not so much to ensure their progression .
