What is a defendable total for Australia in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Semi-Final?

[QalandarFan]

So Australia reeling right now at 28/3 after 11 overs. What do you think will be a total they can defend?

It has been a bat first and win type of World Cup if you can put runs on the board. So will an average score such as 250 be enough?

255

I think 250+ and Aussies are going to win. Gotta bat really well to get there Carey and Smith need to have a big partnership!

 

[topspin]

England just need to see off the first 10 overs without losing more than a wicket and they should chase be able to chase anything up to 280. Not sure Australia will get to that total having lost 3 early wickets.

250 wont be an easy chase for England.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I reckon 230 will be match winning

250+ with Australia's pacers is a great score.

The pressure of a semi-final immediately adds 20+ runs to the total. It's just a completely different ball game.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Any score above 250 is safe, especially this WC where pitches are challenging.

 

[hadi123]

These two are rebuilding. 250 + could be defended.

 

[ZaudStorm]

Anything above 200 isn't gonna be easy with the bowlers they've got.

 

[Jeetlodil]

275 safe.
250 - Fighting total

So will 224 be a good enough target? I don’t think so but you never know with the Aussie fighting spirit and bowling attack.

So far it looks Aus are definitely 15 runs short, 240 would've been good. 223 not so much.

 

[Artaxerxes]

If Australia don't take wickets in first power play then England will chase 223 easily.England bat very deep.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Good first over for England. They shouldn't take any risk, it's their game to lose.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Total was below par. 275 would have been challenging score.
