Australia set a meagre target of 223 runs, which was easily achieved by England in 32.1 overs after losing only two wickets. Roy played a swashbuckling knock of 85-runs within 65-balls. He caught behind in the 20th over, via a Pat Cummins delivery. After being declared dismissed, Roy expressed dissent at the umpire's decision during the Cricket World Cup semifinal clash at Edgbaston on July 11.
