The English fans can heave a sigh of relief... Jason Roy is not being suspended for his behaviour or for arguing with the umpires and will be able to play in the World Cup final. He has been fined 30% of his match fee and has been given 2 demerit points. The opening batsman refused to walk after he was adjudged caught behind in the 20th over of England's innings in the semi-final match against Australia. The hosts had no review left so he had to ultimately walk back but not before he had a heated argument with the umpires. Replays later showed that the ball had indeed not touched his bat. Roy played a blistering knock of 85 to see England through to the final.

It will be a test of nerves for the pre-tournament favourites England, as they gear up to take on arch-rivals Australia in the 2nd semi-final of the 2019 World Cup at Edgbaston on Thursday. Though the 3 lions are playing their 1st semi-final at the mega event in 27 years, but with a destructive batting line-up and home advantage, they will fancy their chances. But it's easier said than done. Australia not only comfortably beat the hosts in the group stage but also thrashed them in the warm-ups. Moreover, the Aussies haven't lost any of their 7 previous World Cup semis, and England would have to bring out their A-game to come up trumps over the 5 time World Champions.
