fourteen Match - Sri Lanka

This is the fourteen match already. Sri Lanka vs Kenya it's their third game in the world cup. Sri Lanka won one and lost one. Kenya lost both their games played already and shall loose again. Sri Lanka is the top form team in the world cup they where the favourites when they played Pakistan but then they lost.

I did not watch today match was busy. Sri lanka won by 9 wicket's it was a quick win for them.

Match 12 & 13- Zimbabwe & WI

We witness a exciting draw against India & England. Now we see another two match's on a day. Zimbabwe vs Canada they have both lost their first game. And West Indians vs Netherlands.

Netherlands could of won England they played very well and am sure they going to win.

Zimbabwe is doing very well with Canada. Zimbabwe 298 runs in their 50 overs just two balls short tell 300 runs. Target for Canada 299 going to be a tough run chase I think I would get my prediction wrong again. Canada is not surviving with Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is going to have a point on the board.

Zimbabwe won by 175 runs. Won their first match in the world cup.

Netherlands won the toss and chose to feild. West Indians is making a steady start and Gayle is not out it's low score for West Indians. 163/1 and it's 30 overs I think they would get 250. West Indians scored 330 Kiren Pollard & Gayle made the score for West Indians. West Indians going to win.

I did not watch any cricket was busy. Just check the score's on line.

Match eleven - Tied


So the games are moving on and the table points are just adding up. A group A match India that played a week ago is playing the second game against England. So this is the first second match of Group B being played. India won the opening match against the co host Bangladesh with a throbbing highest scored runs of 370 for this world cup 2011.Since the last ten match being played it was just 250,270 I think SL first game they scored 300 runs not sure.

Would India do it again Shewag well he playing last time I heard he got injured in the net's but he well to play. Would we see a terrific innings by him again. Well just have to wait and see what happens. India won the toss and chose to bat. England got the wicket of shewag but it's Tendulkar & Gambir going to make a the score for India.

I did not watch India innings I was busy had to hang up the washing an help my mom in the kitchen with the food. India played well Shewag did not get to score as he did in the opening much. But it was Tendulkar, Gambir & Yuvaj that made it high for them. Target for England is 339 runs could they chase it down or India going to back fire on them again.

What a second innings that was it was getting boring because Andrew Strauss was batting all the time and they could not get is wicket. Just got two wicket's and it's stayed like that for a long time overs and India was wasting balls they just could get wickets. They got the wicket of Bell then Zaheer was on a hat trick but lost wicket's after that. The game changed completely around we did not know who going to win. We would not like an upset if India had to loose. Ajmal Shahzad hit a SIX off his first ball it was for that six England would of lost but then they could get the runs so it ended in a tie. The point's would be shared. They are on three point's each.

Match ten - Pakistan won


These two played their first game already and both won. Sri Lanka won against Canada but I wonder why so much Indians playing for Canada?
They both are on two points and now some one should win & loose and I think Sri Lanka is going to loose. Pakistan won Kenya on a heart throb it was so easy they made a high score and could not chase it down.

Pakistan has batmen & bowlers and they are aggressive. The openers went out early Hafeez & Shahzad hope they get a chance to bat. Kamran, Younis, Misbah and Umar all did well in their first match they would do it again. With the bowling I think maybe Wahab or Junaid well come in or I think they would drop Hafeez.

Pakistan has won all their match's played against Sri Lanka in a world tournament so they shall win again.

Afradi is so good in winning the toss he won it again. And chose to bat.It's a unchanged side from the last game. Misbah scored 83 runs not out. Younis batting was just superb he plays sensible cricket.

They made a big score Pakistan 277. They went over the highest score made at that stadium can Sri Lanka chase down that score I don't think they can for batting second and it's under lights. Sri Lanka can't chase down the score they trying but they lost wickets against Pakistan.

But as the second innings started I said if it's a big score to chase the team that bat seconds would not get the score they would loss wicket's get close to the score but not reach it.Sri Lanka has not won Pakistan in the past world tournament's they played against each other. They are keeping there memento going with Sri Lanka. Shahid Afradi got too his 300 wicket's in and one day international.

Sri Lanka needs 17 runs off 4 balls. It's game over they can't win now but a close game they come close but not too winning sorry your lost of points. Pakistan is on four points. It was a great second match played by Pakistan well done boy's keep up the good performance Pakistan won by 11 runs.Afridi is the Man of the Match. Finally, a bowling effort gets rewarded!

Match 8 & 9 Australia & Bangladesh won



So it's going to be two match's on Group A & B. Australia vs New Zealand. Australia won their first match against Zimbabwe but they struggled Zimbabwe really gave them a hard time. We would of seen an upset but any way that did not happen hope they would get their upset with New Zealand. They have both won their first match so who is going to loose it's a early match. But both match's would be on the same time.

Bangladish lost their first match against India. They do want to make a come back in this match against Ireland. It would be Ireland first match being played. We would see who leads the point table in Group A. India is on top of Group B.

Australia won the toss and they chose to feild. So they are the third country that won toss and field. New Zealand lost wicket's and early. I don't think New Zealand can make a big score they would not even reach 250. New Zealand only got too 206 very low Australia would win quickly. Australia won there second game by 7 wickets. I did not have to watch because I knew they would win.

Bangladesh won the toss again but they choose to bat.Bangladesh is in trouble they loosing wickets they need to get 230 at least. And they playing so terriable on their home ground. Bangladesh is in really trouble they only scored 205 runs. So low for Ireland to chase would they loose their second match. Let's see if they can take wicket's in the second innings.

So I decide to sleep this after noon and not watch Ireland innings. Why did I do that. Bangladesh was taking wickets. Ireland was getting nerves because non of the players got half century's the high score in Ireland was 38 runs. The last four wickets fell cheaply. This was a very low score I thought they would not make it but when I woke up I check the score they had seven wicket's and then the others fell shortly after that. Bangladesh wins by 27 runs. and they put the name on the board of Points.

My predictions where Australia & Bangladesh to win I am doing the quiz on Cricket companion.

Match seven- South Africa


It's the seven match to be played it's Group B. First Match of both teams playing against each other. West Indians vs South Africa. this is the only second match to be played so far in Group B.

South Afica is doing well and the in good form for the world cup. With West Indians they have played not so well as they use to play. Maybe it would be different we have to wait and see there best players would play in the world cup.

South Africa would field. Smith won the toss and choose to field. Bangladesh won the toss choose to field where they lost the game. Would there be lost again an the first upset in the world cup. I am going to watch the game. Imran Tahir will make his debut.

South Africa did well with the ball. Congrats too Imran Tahir he took four wicket's on debut. His first time he plays International and in a world cup. West Indians made 222 all out. Target for SA is 223 it's easy for them to get but they batting under light's so we see what would happen in the the second innings.

South Africa lost two early wicket's but Smith & AB is looking at ease at the crease.Well not long to go then SA win's there first match in group B. A.B a match winner for SA. 107 runs off 100balls but I still think Imran should be man of the match. Smith made a right decision to field first and it worked.
Dwayne Bravo went off he has a injury I don't know if his condition serious or anything.AB Devillers was man of the match he scored 107 runs off 105 balls it's a batsmen game. And if they batmen game I think it's totally unfair not give man of match to Imran that's being racists. He playing for the very first time in international world cup game took four wicket's and he does get man of the match. So unfair it's still all about colour in South Africa.

Match six - Pakistan


This is match six played already in the world cup. Pakistan is the last team to play their first match in the group. They are playing against Kenya. Kenya has lost every match played with Pakistan. Kenya lost there first match against New Zealand won by 10 wickets. New Zealand bowled all out for 68 runs. How much would Kenya score against Wahab, Khan, Gul, Rehman.

Pakistan first game of the world cup 2011. Shahid Afradi won the toss and elected to bat but they have lost two wicket's for 12 runs.

A bad start but am sure they going to win this game Pakistan. It's long still tell the overs are up. Pakistan is not doing bad at all for the early wicket's that has fallen. Kamran Akmal & Younis Khan looks steady and going to make a big score for Pakistan. But hope Misbah makes his 100. Kamran just got OUT misbah comes in let's see if he can make a partnership with Younis I think he would. That was a good innings by Younis reaching is 50 runs and got out by LBW.

Pakistan had a great innings four half century scored by Kamran,Younis, Misbah & Umar Akmal. If Pakistan going to win Umar Akmal would be man of the match. Kenya gave away 46 extra's and they bad in feild also. But they got seven wickets but it's still high score for them to chase 318 to win off 50 overs. It's Pakistan highscore against Kenya. Let's wait and see how the chase going to be

Kenya was not bowled out for 68 runs this match they where bowled all out for 112. Afadi took 5 wicket's for 16 runs. He made record he say's he more for the bowling because he don't survive long with the bat. Umar Akmal was man of match he made 71 runs off 56 balls.

26 Febuarury 2011. It's Pakistan second match and they would meeting Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won Canada in their first match who going to win. I can't wait.

Match 5 - England

Match 5 of the world cup. Group B England vs Netherlands. Netherlands won the victory over England in the world cup T20. Can they do it in a and ODI. We just have to wait and see. Just got home now went with my friend. But she made me mad this morning anyway am back home catching up on the match.

Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat. Netherlands did well with the bat they got too 294 runs. I did not watch the whole game but England won it by 6 wicket's sad I wanted Netherlands to win.

World cup point's table!!

I am wanted to know how many points each team get's for a win and it's only two points a game. If they win all six games they would end with twelve points.

Group A six teams has already played each other expect Pakistan would play on Wednesday against Kenya. Kenya lost against New Zealand. Kenya lost against Pakistan.

First match
Pakistan - 6 points
Sri Lanka - 7 points
Australia - 5 Point's
New Zealand - 6 points
Zimbabwe - 2 Point's

these three has points on the table. I would update this always than making a new blog.


Group B
India - 7 points
England - 5 points
West Indian 6 points
South Africa 8 points
Ireland 2 points
Bangladesh 6 points

Fourth Match!! Australia won


It's another group A match. Why are they playing group A's first. Must it be Group A one day and Group B the next. Yesterday, there were two matches of Group A. And today it's a Group A match Australia vs Zimbabwe but after tomorrow and after it would be Group B with Group A. As the days moves on lot's of games would be done. But each team got to play six in their group. So round robin would take long to come.

Australia & Zimbabwe lost both their warm up match's but I know for sure Australia would end the game fast quick. Zimbabwe does not score much if they have to win the toss. Okay they did not win the toss Australia did and they would win the toss & they would bat first.

Zimbabwe bowlers are really playing very well with the ball they going to restrict Australia too 250 runs. Zimbabwe did well with the ball now they into for a bat well they reach there target of 263. There was a time that I thought Australia would not reach 250 but they did with Smith fired 11 runs in 4 balls but got wicket.Would we get the first upset in Cricket world cup. I hopes so Zim deserves to win them and they going to make it happen.

Zimbawe should work on their batting they could not cope and they where loosing wicket's after the six wicket I went too sleep. Australia won by 91 runs.

Two Match's!! NZ & SL won!!

I am starting my blog now so in the morning I can just update it while the game is on. Two match's of Group A so this would be game number 2 & 3.
Kenya vs New Zealand & Sri Lanka vs Canada I try to watch between the channels.

Kenya vs New Zealand match was early but not a match to watch. I would of just wasted my time if I had to woke up and watch the game but glad I did not. I just checked the score on my mobile & Kenya was all out for 68 runs. New Zealand would smash that score down in eight overs.

New Zealand won the second match of cricket world cup. Next up is the second match of the day Sri Lanka vs Canada. Sri Lanka going to give Canada a hard time.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. could they reach 370 runs like India did?? Well have to wait and see if Canada got good bowlers or not.

My aunt called and she wanted to go out so we went to the water front it was great weather to be out doors. I was checking the scores on my mobile sri Lanka got too 322 runs. Canada could not get there so Sri Lanka wins the third match of world cup.

Opening Match!! India won

It's the opening match of the cricket world cup. It started this morning and Bangladesh won the toss and made a bad de scion to field first. There bowling was not good at all. They could not take wicket's and Sehwag was outstanding he made 175 runs. Virat Koli got his 100 runs not out.

A very high score for the opening of the cricket world cup India scored 370/4 and the target for Bangladesh is 371 could they chase the score?? That's a big question.

Let's wait and see what's happen in the second innings.

Bangladesh had a good start but did not play so well. They where scoring in the power play at the start but then just could not keep up. Tamim Iqbal he scored 70 runs and Shakib 55 runs others just scored 37,34,25 runs. We did not see that big hitting like what we see if Pakistan is under pressure and they need the runs or India they hit big huge that's makes exciting nothing like that. But the crowd was disappointed they lost but not to panic Bangladesh has five more match's to be play and they must win the next one.

Virender Sehwag was outstanding for India he missed the tour of South Africa but in the world cup squad and coming out with a bang. He was man of the match scored 175 runs off 140 balls.

Next match Bangladesh would be playing 25 February 2011 against Ireland
Next match India would be playing is on 27 February 2011 against England.

five days for Bangladesh to get in to practice for there next game in Dhaka
seven days for India to rest tell there next match in Bangalore.

CWC 2011

It's the cricket world cup in 2007 Australia won for the third time. I would not want them to win this year world cup in the subcontinent.

Fourteen countries is going to play in this year world cup.

Two groups A & B

Australia
Canada
Kenya
new Zealand
Pakistan
Sri Lanka
Zimbabwe

Group B

Bangladesh
England
India
South Africa
Nerthlands
Ireland
West Indians

HOW IT ALL WORKS

The first round of the tournament will be a round robin in which the fourteen teams are dived into two groups of seven teams each. The seven teams play each other once with the top four from each group qualifying for the quarter finals. The format ensures that each team get's to play a minimum of six matches even if they are ruled out of the tournament due to early defeat.The final will be played in India at the renovated Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The semi final venues are the R. Pemadasa stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka and PCA Stadium in Mohali India

The World cup is starting on 19 February - 2 April 2011

Opening game would be he hosting countries in group b. Bangladish vs India.

Opening Ceremony

It was the opening ceremony of the ICC world cup 2011. Bangladesh was to host the opening ceremony. For the first time every one can't be the best. As there are getting bad comments of the opening. People saying that this could of been much better if it was held in India it would of been a rocking opening ceremony. India held a opening & closing before of IPL and Conmen Wealth games. Where Bangladesh did not host any thing but they did there best to put up a show for the world cup opening ceremony and they did well.

Now I know how the people are Bangladesh are different dances for different areas there languages are not the same. Bangladesh is so near India they have simpler culture but different in away. Bangladesh does not have a president but has a prime minster and she a lady. Sheikh Sakina she a beautiful lady. The fourteen captains represent there countries. They all come in with a rickshaw that's was cool some thing different. And that's put of Bangladesh culture and that's used as transport in the country.
It was an amazing opening ceremony with all three culture shown of the three co-host countries.

India warm up


This is India second warm up and it looks like they going to win New Zealand with a blow.
There batting are just superb half century from Virat Koli & Ghambir, a huge partnership with Ms Dhoni & Raina. MS Dhoni the first Indian to make his their fastest hundred. MS Dhoni & Yusuf Phatan end India's inning up scoring 360 runs.

A big score to chase down for New Zealand but they can do it if they want too. But India has attacking bowlers so I don't think they would reach the score. New Zealand is scoring slow and it's already 5 overs down and they just got too 36 runs.

But let's see what's happen. I would update this blog again as I must type who wins this game hope it is India victory.

India won by 117 runs they bowled New Zealand all out for 243. India has won both their warm up match's. India has attacking bowlers so they go far in this World cup.

ICC World cup

It's the cricket world cup hosted by India & Bangladesh. Warm up match's has started as the world cup is too start on the 19 February 2011.

Each country get's to play two warm up match's before the world cup begins. Just a small summery of how it has been so far.

South Africa won both their warm up match's they played Zimbabwe & Australia
India played won and really gave a hard time to Australia and playing their second match now against New Zealand. I am sure India want's another victory.
Australia lost both their warm up match's but for them that's nothing they well come back with fire when the world cup begins.
England is playing against Canada but they would win. their second match is against Pakistan on Friday.
West Indians am not really following but they having a hard time they lost against Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh lost too Pakistan Ahmed Shehzad a 19 year old and Misbah scored their century and won their match. They play against England on Friday.

Well, the match's are not broad cast only India for the warm up.

The opening ceremony well be in Dhaka Bangladesh on the 17 February 2011

I would keep my blog updated for the duration of the world cup.
