A number of readers have been asking about tonight’s ICC World Cup Cricket quarter-final between Australia and India at Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad, India. So here are the times once again, with some extra info.
In India the game begins at 8pm AEDT but won’t begin until 10:30pm in Melbourne when it picks up the game live. Nine then rolls out live coverage in all cities but due to different time zones it means it picks up at different stages of the game. Perth viewers will see the least, just 2.5 hours of play.
Melbourne 10:30pm
Adelaide 10:30pm
Sydney 11:00pm
Brisbane: 11:00pm
Perth: 10:30pm
Australia, the reigning champions, lost their first World Cup match since 1999 in going down to Pakistan by four wickets on Saturday. A strong bowling performance from Pakistan restricted Australia’s total to 176 runs, with Brad Haddin top scoring with 42.
Australia now face an enormous challenge to stay in the tournament against an Indian side bristling with batting power – led by superstar openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. Pressure is mounting on Ricky Ponting to bounce back to form against a bowling attack featuring his nemesis Harbhajan Singh, the world’s best off-spinner.
Should Australia win they will confront the winner of the Pakistan and West Indies quarter-final on Wednesday, March 30.
Join Mark Taylor and Tim Gilbert as the Aussies fight to avoid the knockout blow in the World Cup.
