Tournament Summary
in South Africa. Australia were placed in Group B and their first official match saw them take on Zimbabwe on 12 September 2007 in Cape Town
.
To prepare for the tournament, Australia played two warm-up games against New Zealand and South Africa.
and Brett Lee
restricted New Zealand to 4/61 off 9.2 overs. Despite this, a strong partnership of 67 between Ross Taylor
and Craig McMillan
saw the Kiwis claw their way back. Nathan Bracken
claimed the vital wicket of Taylor
for 53 and Mitchell Johnson
dismissed McMillan
for 60 on the last ball of the innings restricting New Zealand to a chaseable 182. Hilfenhaus was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking 3/11 off his 3 overs. Nathan Bracken
also played a vital role taking 2/34 off his 4 overs.
Australia's innings began poorly with Shane Bond
taking the wickets of Adam Gilchrist
and Matthew Hayden
within 4 deliveries. Brad Hodge
was dismissed in the second over leaving Australia reeling at 3–15. A very strong partnership between Andrew Symonds
and Michael Hussey
rescued Australia, as they put on 113 for the fourth wicket. Despite their dismissals, this partnership was enough to see Australia cruise to victory with ten balls to spare. Hussey
top scored for Australia scoring 72 off 44 balls, however Symonds
was not far behind scoring 70 off 43 balls.
and Brad Haddin fell in successive balls to South African pace-bowler Shaun Pollock
. Brad Hodge
fell in the fourth and Australia were in trouble at 3/21 after 3.4 overs. Just as he did in the warm-up against New Zealand, Andrew Symonds
steadied the ship scoring a strong 45 off 26 balls. Despite Symonds'
resistance, South Africa continued to steadily take wickets, and only a late flurry of powerful hitting by tailender Mitchell Johnson
propelled Australia to a healthy target of 8/179.
South Africa's innings got off to a flying start, and despite Ben Hilfenhaus
continuing his good warm-up form by dismissing Herschelle Gibbs
in the 6th over for 20, Graeme Smith
and AB de Villiers put on a partnership of 116 runs which helped guide South Africa to an easy 8 wicket victory.
, Brad Hodge
Australia got their new season off to a poor start, losing their first official match to Zimbabwe. After winning the toss and electing to bat, Australia were off to a shaky start as some tight and effective Zimbabwean bowling had them at 3/19 off 4 overs. Things never really picked up for the Australian batsmen, who appeared to be suffering from a lack of match practice. In slow conditions Brad Hodge
did his best to attempt to steer the innings in the right direction, scoring 35 off 22. However regular wickets falling at the other end meant that Australia were restricted to 138 off their 20 overs.
Brendan Taylor
was the hero for Zimbabwe, as he remained not out on 60 to see the Zimbabweans home to a memorable victory with only one ball remaining. It was a severe wake up call for a quite complacent Australia and in the post-match interview, captain Ricky Ponting explained that Australia have "got to start respecting [Twenty20] now".
sent Australia in to field. The Australians put in a very disciplined performance with the ball, taking wickets at regular intervals and keeping the run rate low throughout the innings. Nathan Bracken
and Mitchell Johnson
each took 3 wickets, while Stuart Clark
and Brett Lee
took 2 and 1 respectively. Several of England's batsmen got starts, however failed to convert them with their top scorer being Andrew Flintoff
, reaching 31.
Australia cruised to victory on the back of a 79 run opening partnership between Matthew Hayden
and Adam Gilchrist
. They reached the target within 15 overs and therefore successfully progressed to the Super 8 stage of the tournament
.
Australia finished first in Group B based upon net run-rate, and were placed in Group F for the Super 8 stage.
elected to field first. Australia bowled excellently, tying down the Bangladeshi batsmen, and only allowing them to score at 6 an over. Brett Lee
took the first international Twenty20 hat-trick during this innings and finished with figures of 3/27. Bangladesh's innings never gained momentum and Australia restricted them to 123 off 20 overs.
Adam Gilchrist
and Matthew Hayden
put on their first Twenty20 century partnership to help the Australians chase down the target of 124 comfortably with over 6 overs to spare.
top scored for Australia with 37, and at one point a total of 180 plus even looked possible for Australia. Effective bowling at the death however, restricted Australia to 7/164 off their 20 overs. During this innings, Australian captain Ricky Ponting
received a hamstring strain and was ruled out of action for between two and four weeks.
Pakistan's top order had struggled throughout the tournament, and this continued in their innings. Stuart Clark took 3 quick wickets to have Pakistan 4/46 after 6.4 overs. Despite this, an excellent 100 run partnership between Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik
and Misbah-ul-Haq
rescued Pakistan and guided them home with 5 balls to spare. This loss meant that Australia had to win their next Super 8's match against Sri Lanka in order to progress to the semi-finals.
elected to bowl first. This decision was justified as Australia demolised Sri Lanka's top order, having them 7/43 down after 10 overs. While Jehan Mubarak
resisted, Sri Lanka were dismissed for a meagre 101 and needed a minor miracle to escape with a victory. Stuart Clark
was the pick of the Australian bowlers taking 4/20, the best ever figures by an Australian in Twenty20 Internationals.
Openers Adam Gilchrist
and Matthew Hayden
once again got the Australians off to a magnificent start, and guided them to a very comfortable 10 wicket victory, the first in the Twenty20 World Championship. As a result of this match, Australia finished second in Group F, and therefore qualified for the semi-finals where they would meet India
.
saw Australia knocked out by eventual winners India. The Indians won the toss and elected to bat, and after a steady start, an explosive innings by Yuvraj Singh
coupled with a quickfire 36 by MS Dhoni
saw the Indians reach a strong total of 188 from 20 overs on a batsman friendly Durban
pitch. Mitchell Johnson
was Australia's best bowler taking 2 wickets in his 4 over spell.
Facing a difficult task to progress to the final, Australia seemed on target to reach India's total after Matthew Hayden
once again top scored for the Australians with 62 off 47 balls. It was in the later overs that Australia's chase was dismantled, as the wicket of Andrew Symonds
seemed to give the Indians momentum. Australia managed 173 off their 20 overs, and thus India won by 15 runs and knocked Australia out of the tournament.

Australia got their new season off to a poor start, losing their first official match to Zimbabwe. After winning the toss and electing to bat, Australia were off to a shaky start as some tight and effective Zimbabwean bowling had them at 3/19 off 4 overs.
