the tournament finally started earlier Today at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

 

this stadium is the 2nd largest in the world, 132,000 seats...and it was so sad watching today's game with basically no audience  

 

I just can't believe the Cricket World Cup in India started with such lack of atmosphere, just like the most anonymous senseless test match in the middle of nothing

 

 

by the way, in the opening match New Zealand dominated the field against England in the revenge match of the last World Cup Final @ The Lords in London

 

after England scored 282/9 in the first inning, they answered with 283/1 (Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra both going well beyond "100, not out") in just 36+ overs and won by 9 wickets

Tomorrow it's time for Pakistan to open their campaign against the Netherlands

[phelps 8,705]

 won game #2 of the World Cup vs  by 81 runs

 

the Dutch team had a very good first inning, keeping the Pakistan's bats at bay, scoring only a reasonable 286 runs, all out in 49 overs

 

but they just couldn't do almost anything on offense, giving up too many wickets in the early stages and finishing their effort with 205 runs, all out in only 41 overs (most likely, they wouldn't have scored 287 runs even if they could complete all the 50 overs, tbh)

not legally

 

for the European viewers (except for GBR and IRL), the official provider is Yupp TV, which charges 25€ for the special pack covering the whole World Cup

 

 

speaking of not so legal options, if you have a Firestick (or an Android TV), I can tell you that you can download (not from the official store) an app called Sportsfire, where you have all the channels you need for a full world of sports coverage (all the US and Canadian sports network, all Sky Sports from ITA to GER, UK and NZL , the Indian Star Sports, South African Supersports and many more)

 

p.s. to be used absolutely under vpn coverage (and you also need some powerful broadband connection, because with vpn all these channels have some buffering issues with a weak wifi connection)

[phelps 8,705]

meanwhile, in game #3,  easily beat  by 6 wickets

 

 scored only 156 runs in 37 overs (all out);  replied with 158/4 in just 34 overs

in game #4 (still underway),  established a new record for the highest score ever in the ODI's World Cup, 428 runs (5 outs) in 50 overs   

 

 bowlers just unwatchable; 2nd inning is running right now, but  are basically hopeless

[phelps 8,705]

finally, game #4 ended with  winning by 102 runs (428/5 in 50 overs vs 326, all out in 45 overs) vs

 

and also the total score is a new record in terms of runs scored (754) in a single match in the history of the World Cup

Tomorrow, it's time for the great clash between  and  in Chennai (10.30 a.m. CET)

[phelps 8,705]

game #5, the great clash between  and  resulted in a disappointing underperformance by the Australian batsmen in the first inning, scoring the misery of 199 runs, all out in 49.3 overs

 

so, despite a dramatic start of the second inning,  finally settled down and did their job with the bats, scoring 201 runs in 41 overs (with only 4 wickets given up)

 

 (201/4, 41.2 overs) b.  (199/all out, 49.3 overs) by 6 wickets

Will be watching it at the stadium. Netherlands better play well, a lot left to be desired in batting.

Disney Hotstar is offering free streaming in India. Not sure if vpn is required to watch from elsewhere
