While India vs Pakistan remains the most hyped rivalry in world of cricket, Australia vs england is one of the most thrilling and evenly matched rivalries one can see on a cricket field.
In a must win game, Australia began their innings very well but soon started losing wickets and ended up on a below par total of 277, England had a bumpy start to their chase losing three early wickets, but an explosive and match winning partnership between skipper Morgan and Ben Stokes took the game away from Australia and knocked them out of the tournaments. Twitter went crazy in praise of Ben stokes stupendous century and the prospect of Bangladesh playing in semi-final of champions trophy ahead of Australia.
Here is all the action from the twiiter:
Edgbaston Attendance:
Ind vs Pak: 23,156
Eng vs Aus: 23,227Both rivalry set record attendance!

Deja vu at #CT17. England does a Bangladesh for Bangladesh. @Eoin16 and @benstokes38 doing a Mahmadullah and Shakib #ENGvAUS

I'm not certain, of course, that England will win Champions Trophy. I'm quite certain they are the best England ODI team I've seen

Anyone told England they are batting against a very decent international attack? They are having fun, like it's some college kids bowling
