Cricket: Australia reach Champions Trophy semis after washout in Lahore

# Cricket : Australia sailed into the Champions Trophy semi-finals after their final Group B match against Afghanistan was abandoned at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore last night. Chasing 274 for victory against the Afghans, Australia raced to 109 for one in the 13th over when heavy rain stopped play. While the pitch was kept under cover, the outfield appeared soaked, prompting the match officials to call off play. South Africa, who have three points and face an already-eliminated England today, look primed to join Australia in the semi-finals.
