I was cheering for Hyderabad Sunrisers some years ago when IPL was live on Youtube.

Too bad those free live coverage times are history.

 

IPL is now available free on Jio TV (https://www.jiocinema.com/) with various camera angles including spidercam, umpire, stump cam. Not sure whether it can be accessed via VPN

Tomorrow, time for game #18, the very, very important clash between  and  at 10.30 a.m. CET in Bengaluru

 

the loser, especially if it's , might get already out of the race for the top 4 spots at the end of the round robin phase

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - players from the old guard

game #18,  b.  by 62 runs

 

in the first inning, a lethal combination of unwatchable  bowlers and the  duo Warner (163 runs from 124 balls ) and Marsh (121 runs from 108 balls) being unstoppable basically killed the match

 

 tried an amazing comeback in the second stint, but when their best batsmen did fall one after another (Iftikhar the last one, who almost put  back in line for a miracle), any hope was gone and now  are really in trouble, if they want to stay in the medal race they really need to win against teams like  and  (other than all the "smaller" teams)

 

 scored 367/9 in 50 overs,  stopped at 305/all out in 45.3 overs

Tomorrow, games #19 and #20 to complete the 4th gameday

 

first  vs  at 7 a.m. CET in Lucknow, then the almost decisive clash between  and  at 10.30 a.m. CET in Mumbai

[Thagard 39]

At this run rate from Sri Lanka in the 2nd innings (153 runs and 7 wickets with 188 balls remaining), the Netherlands can not produce another surprise.

 

In the other match of the day, South Africa is building a solid 192 runs after 30 overs in the first innings.

Right, yes, but what I mean is that massive wins can be overs or in wickets and small wins as well. Whereas first I thought that maybe "won by X wickets" meant it was a small victory whereas "won by X overs" was a big victory, because of a different unit of measurement being used.

 

I still have 4,5 years or so to learn the basics...  

I think you are looking at a massive win for South Africa right now. They've scored 399 in their inning and England is struggling 145/8 after 20.3 overs. It is a matter of time until they are bowled out.

[phelps 6,951]

wow! just wow! what a show by   

 

game #19,  beat  by 5 wickets

 

 posted a 262/all out in 49.4 overs, then  replied with a late charge, scoring 263/5 in 48.2 overs to avoid another upset by the Dutch team

in game #20, instead,  destroyed  by 229 runs

 

under very, very difficult weather conditions (hot and humid beyond imagination), the South Africans put on the most impressive show of the CWC so far, scoring 399/7 in 50 overs (thanks above all to the heroic performance by Heinrich Klaasen, who scored 109 runs from 67 balls despite at a certain point he was completely done because of the weather and also an ankle injury)

 

 never looked in contention and in the 2nd inning they only scored 170 runs, going all out in just 22 overs

 

now the reigning world champions are basically out of the race for the top 4 places and the semifinals; only a miraculous and improbable renaissance in the next games (they need to win them all to get back in the race) would give them a chance

Standings after gameday #4

Tomorrow, it's time for the 5th gameday to start:  will face  at 10.30 a.m. CET in Dharamsala in the most anticipated match of the whole round robin (for what we've seen so far, at least)

[phelps 6,951]

the most anticipated match of the CWC so far did confirm how  are really the big, big favourite to win it all

 

not even the brilliant  team could do anything against the host Nation

 

game #21,  beat  by 4 wickets

 

the Home team started with a very solid performance by their bowlers, letting  score only 273/all out in 50 overs in the 1st inning

 

then,  answered with a relatively easy 274/6 in 48 overs to earn the 5th win in a row and consolidate the lead in the standings
