Sports:: Australia finds luck not on their side!

There hasn't been this desperate times for Australian team in near future, but the new team is having a real tough time matching up with the champions. The ICC Champions Trophy saw a drastic let down to the Australian team leaving them with a tough chance with the mighty Sri Lankans. The villain was the rain that stuck the match between Australia and New Zealand.

The New Indian Express outlines the match as:

Both New Zealand and Australia have garnered a point each from today's washed out encounter.

New Zealand, who defeated Sri Lanka by one wicket in their tournament opener, are at the top of Group A with three points from two games, followed by England (2 points 1 match), Australia (1 point from 2 matches) and Sri Lanka who are yet to open their tally.

New Zealand will now face England in their last group match, while Australia face a must-win situation against Sri Lanka in their final encounter.

However, a win against Sri Lanka alone won't guarantee Australia a place in the semi-finals as their fate would hang on the results of the remaining Group A matches.
