"They are in good form. M S Dhoni is leading them well. We look forward to another really tough contest. We'll have to bat a lot better, specially the top-4," Clarke said when asked about his thoughts on the semifinal, following their six wicket win over Pakistan here.

have spoken about not putting the World Cup on a pedestal, so
preparation as always. Every time you play for Australia, you want do
your best."
The Australian captain said it was "a really close game in the end".
"The bowlers did a fantastic job, our fielding was excellent, but Wahab came out and really put us under pressure, one of the fastest spells I've seen in a long time," he said.
