ICC World Cup 2011 Australia Set Target 260 for India | Live Score Card and Summary
Australia 260/6 (50 ov)
India 20/0 (3.0 ov)
India require another 241 runs with 10 wickets and 47.0 overs remaining
Captain Ricky Ponting marked his return to form with a scintillating century as Australia posted a competitive 260 for six in their cricket World Cup quarter final clash against India here today.
Opting to bat first, Ponting notched up his 30th ODI century and his 5th in the World Cup to not only silence his detractors but also guide Australia to a decent total on a rather slow and turning track at the Sardar Patel stadium.
The 36-year-old Ponting, who has been under intense pressure because of poor form in recent times, responded brilliantly as he anchored the innings to score his first ton in 18 innings.
Apart from Ponting 118-ball 104, Brad Haddin (53) and David Hussey (38 not out) were the other notable performers for the defending champions, leaving the hosts to score at an asking rate of 5.22 to set up a mouth-watering semi-final clash with arch rivals Pakistan.
