As much as Jasprit Bumrah is up there as one of my all time favourite players to watch I’m genuinely hoping either Pakistan or New Zealand end up with the trophy.

 

Failing that, then India to absolutely decimate Australia in the final would also work for me

Pakistan for the sheer banter that would descend from it. If not then New Zealand or South Africa for novelty sake. And then if not then India as the ABA (anyone but Australia) rule comes into place.

Netherlands running themselves out of the tournament

Afghanistan have done damn well this Cup.

 

They probably won't beat the Aussies or Saffers to get to the semi finals, but they've certainly made a noise.

They have such a likeable team as well. I like their mid-innings huddles they do every now and then to seemingly recollect and take stock of where they are.

For Afghanistan to go from 0pts in 2019, to 4 wins from 7 is some going.

Jonathan Trott for England coach?

[Super_horns]

David Wiley certainly not happy with the lack of a contract offer .

Probably jinxed them but New Zealand look set for a very big score v Pakistan.

 

230-1 .

Big total for NZ. 

Ravindra with another ton!

They reach 400.

 

England got both openers out .

[StanSP]

Record broken twice in one innings for most expensive world cup overs. 

 

Rauf for 85, then Afridi surpasses that barely 10 mins later

 

[StanSP]

England doing well. 

[foxfanazer]

Nice Rashid

[RonnieTodger]

Needed that. Incredibly in the PAK v NZ Game, Pakistan are ahead of the DLS  

[RonnieTodger]

Zampa is taking the piss

[Super_horns]

287 for Australia.

 

Not a bad effort by the bowlers but with our batting this tournament not sure you can trust us to get close !

Looks like rain will stop the other game .

Pakistan ahead on DLS.

[foxfanazer]

Bairstow

[StanSP]

Rain back at Bengaluru. Pakistan well ahead of DLS. 

They've gone all out early in their innings knowing the rain was coming.

[Super_horns]

Every ball looks like it could be a wicket !

 

Pakistan probably wish they had picked Fakhar earlier .

[Tommy Fresh]

Australia want to appeal a bit more....

[Corky]

Our batting is disgustingly bad.

Yep! The fast start and after the resumption has bagged them the two points. 

 

Means Australia vs Afghanistan carries more significance.

And perhaps England vs Pakistan on Friday.

 

4 teams on 8 points currently!
