gameday #3 started with game #11, when :NZL beat :BAN by 8 wickets

 

after allowing :BAN to score only 245/9 in 50 overs in the 1st inning, a sleepy :NZL team took more than 30 overs in the 2nd inning to wake up and close the Bengali affair down, scoring 248/2 in 42.5 overs

 

in general, not the best and most entertaining match of the tournament so far

Tomorrow, time for game #12, the Mother of all Matches, the biggest rivalry in this sport: :IND vs :PAK at 10.30 a.m. in Ahmedabad (hopefully in front of a great crowd to heat up the atmosphere -as if it was necessary :p :lol:)

and all the hype finally did prove useless and senseless :cry:

 

in game #12, :IND easily beat :PAK by 7 wickets

 

:PAK started well, but when the 2nd wicket fell too early and Ul-Haq was gone, even their best pair (on paper) Babar & Rizwan couldn't do that much, they just did slow down and when the 2 stars were also gone, the middle and bottom order of the Pakistani batsmen were just destroyed by the Indian bowlers, with wickets falling one after another

in the end, :PAK just scored 191/all out in 42.5 overs in the 1st inning and it was basically a joke for :IND to win the match, scoring 192/3 in only 30.3 overs

Tomorrow, it's time for game #13, with :ENG facing :AFG at 10.30 a.m. CET in Delhi in a match they just can't afford to lose (still, they're heavily favourite, it would take a miracle to :AFG to upset the reigning world champions)

Former Netherlands all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

 

A fantastic day for Dutch cricket, the planning and the execution. We thought they were initially getting blown away and yet here they are shaking hands with the South Africa team with a win under their belts. It’s hard to believe but here it is.

They’re going to have to delve into it and tear it apart and work out how it actually happened. We’re going to be glowing in our pace for the Dutch team and also for individual performances. Van de Merwe changed it for this team and Scott Edwards jumped on that and put the South Africa team to the sword. It was Ackermann who then got the breakthrough and the game changed again.
