🏏 πŸ† ICC World Cup 5th Oct - 19th Nov 2023

If NZ beat Sri Lanka tomorrow Pakistan can still make the semi-final if they hand out a tonking to England. Chances of that?

Odds on I’d imagine

Currently the same price for an England win as for a Pakistan win

41st Match - :new_zealand: v :sri_lanka:

New Zealand chose to field.

After 7 overs Sri Lanka are 61-3!!!

And in the 8th Over Kusal Perera brings up his 50 from 22 balls!!

70-4 from 8.2 overs

Boult to Asalanka, OUT

Confident appeal for leg before from Boult, but nothing given by the umpire. Boult convinces Williamson to review as he thinks the two noises were two pad noises instead of the bat. And he might be right here, there is no bat and that’s three reds! Terrific review

70-5 from 9.3 overs

Ferguson to Perera, OUT

And now Perera departs! This was not quite there to drive, Perera goes hard at this and only manages to get under it. It goes straight up in the air and Santner circles under it around cover and takes well judged catch as the ball fell over his shoulder. Sri Lanka in all sorts of trouble now.

104/6 Mathews gone for a real dismissal

Pour coffee. Turn on, tune in to see Malan out
86-1 14.3

221-2 from 37

300 hundred up

I have given up with the cricket as in the philippines you cannot watch it

337 - 9. Very defendable surely

10-2 from 2.4

Dave Willey with both. After late hitting 15 from 5.

Yeah let’s not give him a contract eh. :rage:

40-2 from 8. Not ideal!

Shami getting the ball to talk - winning it for India

220-2 from 32.

In any other game, a cracking score, but need 10 an over from here
