That brings us to the end of this first match. But it's a double header today and the next match is a big one as well. Join us as South Africa will take on West Indies in the next match at Nagpur. Until then, take care and ciao!

Pakistan captain, SHAHID AFRIDI credits the Australian team and wishes them good luck. Adds they are not playing good cricket and that is why they are losing games. (On his retirement) Says that he will go back home, think over his retirement and will declare in few days. He thanks his team, country and all the coaches and his staff. Ends by saying that he loves doing captaincy for Pakistan. Also thanks Kolkata for their support to them, to all the Pakistanis who came all the way to India to cheer their team. Finally ends by thanking to the BCCI and India.

Australian captain, STEVEN SMITH says they played clinical cricket and he is happy. Adds that Warner is playing well and Finch came in and looked well today as well. Says they need to keep winning and victory in three more matches will get them the cup. Thinks it's going to be a tough game and India are a world-class side and hopefully they will give India a run for their money. Adds that Faulkner bowled well and plays smart cricket. Ends by saying they have two days left and they will rest tomorrow as T20 game takes a lot of you.

Man of the Match, JAMES FAULKNER says he was lucky to get a fifer. Adds he tries to give hundred percent and is happy they won. Further says they didn't start well but has enough depth to bounce back. Ends by saying India match is very important and it's tough to beat them in their own backyard.

Pakistan started off well with some firing but they kept losing wickets in short intervals which caused them a defeat here and are so out of the competition. Today again Pakistan displayed poor performance, while bowling as well as batting which results in a heart-breaking defeat. Hence, ends their journey to move further in the tournament. Australia have one more game to play against India and will look to bat the same way against them as they did today. Victory against the Men in Blue will let them into the Semi-final's. Presentation next up.

Superb show by the Kangaroos! Australia showed their class today, both with the willow and the leather. They were looking in touch from the first ball of the match and displayed their victorious efforts. The Kangaroos put giant score on the board and never allowed Pakistan to reach the mark. James Faulkner was outstanding today and bowled a dream spell of four overs by picking up 5 wickets for his team. These are the best figures by an Australian bowler in this format.
