phelps 7,003 Posted November 10, 2023 #101 Share Posted November 10, 2023 as expected, didn't have the fire inside, but still did show how difficult is for them chasing other teams' scores game #42, beat by 5 wickets posted a not so amazing 244/all out in 50 overs, then it took good 47.3 overs to to overtake that score with 247/5 (despite never being in danger of not completing the chase, tbh) game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102782 so, after Today's match basically we know the 4 teams qualified to the knockout stage, as would need more than a miracle to overtake as written in the previous post: are safe in 1st place, no matter how the last match goes; are also safe in 2nd place; are the favourites to keep the 3rd spot, but they have to avoid a bad loss Tomorrow vs to seal the deal; almost surely will be 4th Tomorrow, game #43 is scheduled between and at 6 a.m. CET in Pune, meanwhile game #44 features and at 9.30 a.m. CET in Kolkata those 2 matches will mathematically put the last nails on the coffin of the round robin for what concerns the top of the standings and will finally determine the semifinals' matchups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thagard 39 Posted November 11, 2023 #104 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I guess no big surprises, except for England having a terrible tournament. And of course West Indies not participating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 7,003 Posted November 15, 2023 #107 Share Posted November 15, 2023 well underway right now... Semifinal #1, vs in Mumbai won the toss and choose to bat so far they're really batting hard, their score is 197/1 after 28 overs (RR: 7.04) and they're slowing down in the last few overs, they started so strong that they completed the 1st power play with a RR of almost 9 tbh, I expected a (lot) better bowling from the team, if can keep this pace until the end of the 1st inning, will have absolutely no chance in their offensive stint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,003 Posted November 15, 2023 #108 Share Posted November 15, 2023 1st inning completed, posted 397/4 in 50 overs now it's turn to try and overcome that very impressive score of the Home Nation and they started with 2 "Fours" off Bumrah in the first 4 deliveries...not bad!

phelps 7,003 Posted November 15, 2023 #109 Share Posted November 15, 2023 as expected, could do nothing against the mighty Indian bowlers (Shami was totally dominating the game, he recorded 7 wickets )... actually, they were very good to score 327 runs, but clearly it wasn't enough in this game, moreover, an amazing and unforgettable milestone was set by Virat Kohli, who scored his 50th "century" (117 runs from 113 balls) and now he's the man with the most centuries in ODI matches in the history of the game, overtaking in this special ranking the great Sachin Tendulkar (and he did it at Tendulkar's sport home, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai...poetry is not dead, after all) Semifinal #1, beat by 70 runs as written earlier, posted a 397/4 in 50 overs, could only answer with 327/all out in 48.5 overs, so advance to the big Final game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102740 Tomorrow, it's time for the Semifinal #2, vs at 9.30 a.m. CET in Kolkata the big Final, instead, is scheduled for Sunday in Ahmedabad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,003 Posted November 16, 2023 #110 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) won the toss and chose to bat (which is the most obvious choice of the entire CWC) but nothing went according to plan for them, as bowlers dominated the game and didn't let any chance to post a decent score completed their offensive inning with just a miserable 212/all out in 49.4 overs I don't see how they will be capable to defend that... they need more than a miracle (which actually already happened in the past, but they were on the wrong side ) Edited November 16, 2023 by phelps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
