10th match, Group B

India move into the semis with a perfect record

India beat Pakistan in front of 22,000 boisterous flag-waving supporters from both sides at Birmingham by 8 wickets in a rain-marred match that resulted in three revised victory targets. Pakistan played 40 overs, made 165, and India at first needed 168 from 40 ov by the D/L method. The target was then revised to 157 from 36 ov after another rain delay and finally India were asked to make 102 from 22 ov as more time was lost to rain.

Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 114 vs South Africa and 102 not out vs West Indies, hit a fluent 48 after sharing an opening stand of 58 with Rohit Sharma. Earlier, man-of-the-match Bhuvneshwar Kumar made things difficult for Pakistan with figures of 8-2-19-2, while Jadeja claimed two crucial wickets for 30. Ishant Sharma and Ashwin also claimed two wickets apiece.

Already confirmed as winners of Group B and assured of a place in the semi-finals, India maintained their 100% record while with the third loss from as many matches, Pakistan has been eliminated from the tournament. India's opponents in the last four will be the Group A runners-up.

No Champions Trophy after 2013

The last edition of the tournament!

The ICC Champions Trophy will feature the top eight-ranked sides in the world in the only ‘best versus the best’ 50-over-a-side tournament. First held in 1998, the Champions Trophy was held every two years, except for the 2008 edition, which was postponed until the following year. Australia will aim to complete a hat-trick of titles, after it won the past two events in India and South Africa in 2006 and 2009, respectively. India will take on South Africa in the opening game of the 2013 Champions Trophy in England, the last time the tournament will be held.

Meanwhile, the World Test Championship, originally scheduled for 2013, will make its debut in 2017 and continue every four years. The World Twenty20 will operate every two years, while the World Cup will continue on a four-year cycle with the number of teams reduced to 10 from 2019 onwards.

Delhi Test, Day Three

India seal series whitewash in Delhi [IND-AUS:4-0(4/4)]

India completed a 4-0 series whitewash, as Cheteshwar Pujara helped seal the win with an unbeaten 82 in Delhi. Chasing 155 to win, India were 5/3 in a mini-collapse before MS Dhoni (12 not out) and Cheteshwar Pujara (82 not out) guided the home side to an historic series triumph, reaching 158/4 off just 31.2 overs to win with more than two days to spare.

At the start of the day, the outlook was promising for Australia as they restricted India to adding only six runs to their overnight total (272 all out) with the help of spinner Nathan Lyon's career-best 7-94. Australia were skittled for 164 as man-of-the-match Ravindra Jadeja claimed 5-58 with his left-arm spinners to put the hosts on top. For Australia, tailender Peter Siddle (51 and 50) top-scored for the second time in the match - the first time a No.9 has done so in Test cricket.

It's the first time Australia have lost four matches in a Test series since going down 5-1 in the 1978/79 Ashes. It is also the first time that Australia have lost a series 4-0 since a defeat by South Africa in 1970.

India XI: A M Rahane, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Ravindrasinh Jadeja, Mahendra Dhoni (c, wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma.

England XI: Shane Watson (c), David Warner, E J M Cowan, Philips Hughes, Steven Smith, Matthew Wade (wk), G J Maxwell, Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Nathan Lyon.

Delhi Test, day 3: India 272 (Vijay 57, Pujara 52, Lyon 7-94) and 158/4 (Pujara 82*) beat Australia 262 (Siddle 51, Ashwin 5-57) and 164 (Jadeja 5-58) by 6 wickets
