Australia's Josh Hazlewood: 'Our fielding has been outstanding so far'

Hazlewood hails "outstanding" teammates

Australia's Josh Hazlewood has praised the quality of his teammates after they sealed a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Hazlewood took 4-35 to help bowl Pakistan all out for 213 before his nation went on to reach the total inside 33 overs.

"We bowled well as a group, [Mitchell Starc]'s been outstanding all tournament," Hazlewood told the BBC's Test Match Special. "We were pretty happy - the wicket was good and we tried to keep attacking and taking wickets.

"I was a bit nervous at different stages, but our fielding has been outstanding this tournament. Shane Watson's been outstanding, it was great for him to get through that hostile spell."

Australia will battle India for a place in the final.
