LAHORE: Australian opener Matthew Short will likely miss the Champions Trophy semifinal against either India or New Zealand after the in-form batter suffered a quad injury in the washed out match against Afghanistan here.
Short had scored a 15-ball 20 on Friday but had looked in visible pain before he was dismissed by Azmatullah Omarzai as Australia advanced to the semifinals with four points.
The 29-year-old white-ball player had scored 63 as Steve Smith’s Australia had chased down England’s mammoth 351 in their opening match of the Champions Trophy. PTI
