ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

England scored 198 from the last 15 overs of the innings including a whopping 125 from the final 8 overs.

I'd give Afghanistan their due in chasing down the total

I think after that innings Eoin Morgans back was ok again today
Just the seventeen sixes

Today match is New Zealand v South Africa at Edgbaston

It would certainly be a turn up for the books if SA were to win that game. Their poor form suggests that they are a team that really hasn't played to it's true potential. On te other hand we have not had any real surprises yet in this tournament and would not be surprised if the weather played it's part today.

Chasing down the total? They lost by 150!

New Zealand won the toss and put South Africa in to bat. Match now reduced to 49 over.
Current score 65-2 off 16 over

New Zealand against South Africa was the kind of match that a lot of people have been waiting for in this world cup, with a close finish and the outcome not decided until the last over. But New Zealand's win means the top 4 look pretty much sorted out and we still have almost half the group matches still to be played.

OK they may have lost by 150 but at least they gave it a go.

Here hoping we get more of the same as Australia take on Bangladesh today would love Bangladesh to beat the Aussies.

Yesterday New Zealand beat South Africa, thanks to a 106 by Kane Williamson.

Todays Australia take on Bangladesh. Here's hoping, I love a good underdog
