Spinner Adam Zampa starred with bat and ball as Australia knocked England out of the World Cup semi-finals race with a convincing 33-run win on Saturday.

Batsmen set up victory for Australia with Marnus Labuschagne top-scoring with 71 and useful contributions from Steve Smith , Cameron Green , Marcus Stoinis and Zampa .

Green and Stoinis, the two players coming into the team in place of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh, put on 45 for the sixth wicket.Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis , Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins , Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
