game #31, :PAK b. :BAN by 7 wickets

 

:BAN just scored 204/all out in 45.1 overs, so it was a really easy task for :PAK to complete the chase with 205/3 in only 32.3 overs

Tomorrow, game #32 features :NZL vs :RSA at 9.30 a.m. CET in Pune and it's likely to be a great clash and a decisive matchup for the top 4 final lineup

will it be :RSA year?

 

they already grabbed the Rugby WC and Today they did show that they're for real also in the CWC

 

meanwhile :NZL look to be struggling a lot right now...and Henry's injury doesn't look good at all for them

 

game #32, :RSA destroyed :NZL by 190 runs

 

the red hot :RSA bats set a very high target of 357/4 in 50 overs in the 1st inning, score that :NZL couldn't even think to match and in fact, they only managed to get 167 runs / all out in just 35.3 overs to lose big time this key match

 

now they have to be very careful of a possible (but unlikely, tbh) comeback by the surprising team from :AFG to save their place among the Top 4

Tomorrow, game #33 sees :IND facing :SRI at 9.30 a.m. CET in Mumbai

 

on paper, there's no match, but it's always a derby and I'm sure :SRI would try everything they can to steal a prestigious result (even if it doesn't mean anything to their ranking)

they scored a lot of runs, but, aboive all, their bowlers really humiliated :SRI batsmen :facepalm:

Tomorrow, game #34 features :AFG and :NED at 9.30 a.m. CET in Lucknow

 

this is a very, very important match for :AFG that desperatly need a win to stay in contention for an improbable but not yet completely out of reach 4th place

game #34, :AFG beat :NED by 7 wickets, keeping their dream alive

 

:NED scored 179/all out in 46.3 overs, then :AFG smashed that scoring 181/3 in just 31.3 overs

Tomorrow, it's time for the 2nd last doubleheader of the tournament: first, :NZL vs :PAK at 6 a.m. CET in Bengaluru, then a big classic, :AUS vs :ENG at 9.30 a.m. CET in Ahmedabad

we had to wait until match #35, but finally the unfair DLS method hit...and hit very hard :cry:

 

:NZL in fact might even lose their Top 4 spot because some rain ended well in advance their match vs :PAK and gifted the Asians of the most improbable win of the tournament after giving up good 401 runs in their bowling inning :yikes: :facepalm:

game #35, :PAK beat :NZL by 21 runs (DLS method)

 

as written above, in the 1st inning :NZL went 401/6 in 50 overs, then :PAK offensive inning was stopped twice and finally ended because of rain showers when they were 200/1 after 25.3 overs

therefore, the result was determined with the (in)famous and unfair DLS method and :PAK came home with the win

in the other match of the day, instead, there were no climatic issues and :AUS could, continue their comeback towards the top places in the standings

 

game #36, :AUS beat :ENG by 33 runs

 

:AUS started the match with a 286/all out in 49.3 overs, leaving :ENG with a solid chance to chase that score

 

but the reigning champions once again struggled with their bats and went "only" 253/all out in 48.1 overs without completing their chase (which was not so unlikely until Ben Stokes fell by hand of Adam Zampa -bowler- and Marcus Stoinis, the man who caught Stokes' ball)

Tomorrow, it's time for game #37, with the super clash between the best teams of the tournament so far: :IND vs :RSA at 9.30 a.m. CET in Kolkata

wow! just wow!

 

:RSA confirmed themselves as an awful chasing team, but Today it would have been a "mission impossible" stuff for every team in the World

 

game #37, :IND destroyed :RSA by 243 runs :yikes: :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

the Host Nation sailed through the 1st inning, increasing their pace over after over and finally setting a target of 326/5 at the end of the 50 overs

 

:RSA superstar batsman Quinton De Kock fell after just 10 balls at the start of the 2nd inning and from that moment on, it was just a painful punishment for the Africans

they only managed to score a miserable 83/all out in 27.1 inning and went home with one of the biggest losses in this CWC

Tomorrow, game #38 features :BAN vs :SRI at 9.30 a.m. CET in Delhi, not the most anticipated match of the tournament, to say the least

after the shameful controversy, :BAN took advantage of the situation and got a win that leaves :ENG dead last in the standings (for now) :yikes: :facepalm:

 

game #38, :BAN beat :SRI by 3 wickets

 

:SRI posted a decent (but not unforgettable) 279/all out in 49.3 overs, then :BAN answered with 282/7 in 41.1 overs and won the match

Tomorrow, game #39 might be a decisive one with :AUS facing :AFG at 9.30 a.m. CET in Mumbai

 

:AFG win might put them really in contention with :PAK and :NZL for the 4th place, even if they have another really difficult task in the last game vs :RSA, meanwhile :PAK have to face :ENG and :NZL have to play their last match vs :SRI, teams with no more interests in the standings

What a great day for Virat Kohli as he scored 101 not out on his 35th birthday!

    • Who do you think was worse: Netanyahu or Ariel Sharon?
    • Finally done    ICC issues arrest warrant for Benjamin Satanyahu/  Gallant for  Gaza war crimes   Satanyahu and Gallant are at risk of arrest if they travel to any of the 124 countries that signed the Rome statute establishing the court     this is the list of 124 countries : https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties    
    • https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
