West Indies Vs Pakistan

Pakistan struggling to find the stance. Fast bowlers of WI has ripped apart the top order batsmen one by one

Successful review for West Indies, Sarfaraz Ahmed has to go, Pakistan sink deeper at 75/5 after 16.1

Power hitter Audrerussel is on fire with his bowling skills. Pakistan players look like they are playing for school team, not for the world cup

Full length deliveries of Oshane Thomas is giving nightmare to Pak players. I repeat, Paksitan not prepared well for world cup

Now, every Pakistan fan can say ‘ It's ok we lost our first match to the West Indies at the 1992 World Cup and you know what happened there’ LOL !

Another wicket for #JasonHolder before the over ends Imad Wasim top edges it to slip where Gayle puts in a lot of effort to take the catch Pakistan 77/6 in 17 ! Whats happening Pakistan ?

Make it three for the #MenInMaroon skipper #JasonHolder Pakistan are 81/8 in the 19th over

Pakistan have been destroyed by the short ball today - and they have just refused to learn. They've attacked roughly half of the short balls they've faced, despite the fact that they've now lost six wickets to those deliveries. Remarkable unwillingness to adapt

Again some history! In 2011 world quarterfinal WI got all out for 112 and Pak won y 10 wickets

Even Viv Richards is shocked by Pak’s performance! he says , "They're much better players than this, I've spent some time with them at the PSL and I'm disappointed with what I'm seeing from Pakistan today"

Why Pakistan why? 104/9 - 21.3 Overs

More sarcastic shouts from Pakistani fans at Trent Bridge was "come on boys let's at least reach 100 ! Anyhow they heard it.

Oshane Thomas gets his fourth and Pakistan are bowled out for 105 ! Khallaaz!

Pakistan's lowest World Cup total since 1992

What’s next? Will men in maroon finish of this target of 106 as soon as possible within 10-15 overs ?

WI and Pak played 133 times, WI won 70 out of them. Pakistan won the last match they fought against WI by 6 wickets

World Cup 2019: West Indies 108/3 in 13.4 overs (C Gayle 50; M Amir 3/26) beat Pakistan (105) by 7 wickets

Game over in just 212 balls. West Indies, showing what they are capable of ,and Pakistan too.

Pakistan's Mistake | Sarfaraz Ahmed is the most consistent batsmen of all time, he fails to score in every match

11 defeats in a row in completed ODIs. Pakistan's worst losing streak in their 46 years long one-day internationals history.

Total time of that match 166 minutes: Pakistan innings 111 minutes West Indies 55 minutes

Now its time for Grandhomme! Angelo Mathews OUT! Sri Lanka 59/5

Looks like Sri Lanka doing a Pakistan here!

Oh No! Sri Lanka shatters! Fergusan bags another! Jeevan Mendis walks back! Lanka 60/6

When a player like Angelo Mathews walks back with a 9 ball duck, its pretty obvious that Sri Lanka never expected this! This is beyond Pakistan level!

Some disaster management happening in Sri Lankan side! D Karunaratne 25*(43) - Sri Lanka 80/6- 17 Overs

Aus 137/1 - 21.3 Overs

This is going to end as another one sided match

And there it is, 50 for David Warner! The slowest half-century of his career - plenty of boos from the crowd when the bat was raised. AUS now 1/150 off 27 overs, need 57 to win

Australia is playing organic game

Australia 171/2 (29 overs) need 37 runs more vs Afghanistan (207 all out). David Warner (67*), Steve Smith (6*

Warner and Smith deserve this moment! Such a great moment and perhaps the saddest chapter in Australian cricket has closed.

Even after the last year's incident, No matter what, Warner will always feature in all time greats of Australia!! But Bristol crowd treated him other way around.

Australia won the match 34.5 Overs. 209/3

Virat Kohli declared fit ahead of India’s World Cup opener

6/48 - Its the home team against Pakistan today

England win the toss and opt to bowl first vs Pakistan

Sensible batting so far by Pakistan! 31/0- 5 Overs

England have surely underestimated Pakistan here thinking that they will easily exploit Pakistan weak link which is batting otherwise why put a team to bat first on such a pitch?

Pakistan 67/0 9.1 Overs

Babar Azam hits Mark Wood for a 4! 89/1 (15.4 Ov)

Enough spin in the track. Pak with 310-325 should be handful

15 overs 85, that too on batting pitch... Eng will be 100 in 15. Pakishtan should increase the strike rate

England is tightening the game with spinners. Excellent six overs from England. Mark Wood and Moeen Ali have given away just 21 runs between them in that time after Pakistan raced away to 69/0 after the first 10 overs.

England is playing like Pakistan and Pakistan is playing like England

A simple catch dropped by England?!?! Is this the sign its Pakistan's day? Hafeez should make more out of this luck life

Pak 25.5 Overs 145/2

England seem STUBBORN to make this one as HARD AS POSSIBLE on themselves. LOL

So far so good. This is where Pakistan needs to be careful. These 2 tend to slow down in these middle overs & they cannot afford that. They will need 350 to pose a threat to the English batting

Beef up the run rate Pakstan, do it. In last In 15 overs only 71 runs have been scored losing two wickets. Time to score quickly and improve the run rate.

Hello Babar Azam, This is not a test match. You are playing world cupODI and its a smooth batting pitch

Hafeez falls for 84 Still no hundred this WC 89* Warner 89 Stokes 84 Hafeez 78 Mushfiqur 75 Shakib

Pak 283/4 - 43.3 overs

On a tough pitch Moeen ali did an excellent job with the bowl. What an asset for ENG

Who is going to explore next 6 overs ? Asif Ali or England?

Extremely unusual for England to be so sloppy in the field!

Innings Break! Pakistan finish with 348. Terrific performance

England 50/1 7.2 O50.0 Ov J Root 16(13), J Bairstow 25(24) 299 runs required from 256 balls

11 match jinx broken; Pakistan tastes a 14 run victory

South Africa’s Dale Steyn ruled out of World Cup with shoulder injury

Supporter's going next level !

In India, people from Varanasi offered prayers in the temple for the team's success in the match.

Ground report | The boundaries are small. 350 must be the least target by SA

South Africa chose to bat ! score 4/0

Bumrah is impressive! SA 8/1 - 2.2

Hellow world! look how Bumrah is balling! BOOM BOOM BUMRAH

Jasprit Bumrah is anyday better than Archer & Rabada

Bumrah's irst over in the World Cup has been more entertaining than the first 6 days of WC put together. What a man!

GONE! Bumrah on demand! Amla lost his wicket! SA 11/1 3.2

Amla gone! Proper advantage for India! You don't understand the importance of getting Amla early!! You need to watch 2010-11 Ind-SA series....

De Cock is looking more uncomfortable than Amla but the latter got out ! Who's next?

Kohli set an aggressive field ! Love the 3 slip dragnet.

Bumrah is not a player. Bumrah is a weapon

Oh no! Rohit dropped a catch! India missed 3 chances already... Hope the brilliance overshadows these misses

Jasprit Bumrah's first wicket

ODI: Steve Smith Test: AB de Villers T20I: David Warner IPL: Virat Kohli WC: Hashim Amla

Boomrah killing it! Second one down! SA 26/2

Oh my god Bumrah.. You putting heat into million of Indians, hardly any Indian bowler did so

LOL!

This joke is brutal! don't underestimate ! 'Ireland are not out of the worldcup their soul is in South African Team'

Why Sanjay Manjerakar is referring 92 world cup in every second line?

SA killing ODI cricket by playing 90's style cricket. Even Indian medium type bowlers dominating them

SA 34/2- 10 overs

Last time Indian Bowler took 5 wickets haul in Worldcup was:- Yuvraj Singh vs Ireland (WC 2011) 10-0-35-5

0,0,0,2,0,0,B1,W,4,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,W,2,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0 in the first five overs of Bumrah in the world cup.

43 dot balls in first 10 overs !!

BTW! Good to see Hardik pandya in a decent hair cut!

Hardik is a good bowler but better don't use him for death overs!

Bohot hard, bohot hard! Hardik bowling bohot hard today! Inspired by Bumrah?

Faf Du Plessis making Indian medium pacers look like Shoaib Akhtar. Good luck against Starc and Cummins

Back into his original form Kuldeep yadav first two overs only spent eight runs including a four

Restless Du plessis must find a way to stick in - if he gets out, we will be seeing another batting collapse from the proteas

Some sign off determination from Du plessis. SA 59/2 15.3 Overs

SA is coming out of Bumrah's shock spell?

Time to change bowling attack now ? . Pandya and yadav undoing the work of Bumrah

SA is slowly building a partnership. Time for spinners to deliver

Sloppy fielding is causing harm to India?

Hello Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit! Whoever is captain, bring Jadeja for a change

India need a wicket now

The same ground where a whopping 734 runs were scored just over three weeks ago in the match between England and Pakistan. South Africa needs a long partnership

Chahal did the job! Third wicket gone!

Chahal magic again!2 wickets in one over! 20.1 over , 81/4

A brilliant delivery from Chahal find its way onto the stumps to send du Plessis back to the dugout.

India hunt in pairs and SA loose in pairs

It's Kuldeep Yadav's turn now! SA 89/5 23 overs Duminy gone! LBW

Hello ABD! Why you left ? We all miss you!

Such are times when fans more excited about India's bowling than its batting at a World Cup

Irrespective of result of the match, this is great start for India in world cup. Bowlers have used the conditions well, haven't allowed batsmen to settle

That's some real spin work!

Have SA always been this bad against spin? Playing like amateurs! Remember Sunil Joshi's 10-6-6-5

Miller gone! Chahal's third wicket!

SIX! 39th over! The first six of the match has come off Phehlukwayo's bat and Kuldeep's bowling

Chahal shatters SA again! SA-173/7 Ov: 42 Progressive towards 3rd lost?Or will they fight back?

Why is Pandya bowling when India have the chance to finish SA’a innings early? Why not give it Bumrah? What is the logic behind keeping Bumrah’s overs?

Rabada and Morris teaching the rest of the Proteas how to bat

As usual IND let the tail play for long. SA 224/8

SA 227/9. 50 Overs! Let's say say 'Both sides bowers did well' LOL!

ndia need 228 to win this match.. Rabada can trouble Indian batsman on this pitch

Should've bowled them out at around 150, considering SA was 89/5 after 23 overs.

India struggling 4/0 . 2 overs

Struggling Shikhar Dhawan departs for 8 India: 13/1 (5.1 overs)

Top 2 ranked ODI bastsmen in the crease right now Kohli & Rohit

NZ won the game!

This game is going to fun to watch 21.3 81/2

Rohit is perfectly handling the match

50 for my man RO super HIT Sharma

Rohit haters can't take this 50. An inning with full patience, determined, focuse

25 overs done. India are 95-2. Need 133 runs to win.

Rohit Sharma has completed 12000 International runs

Oh KL Rahul gone for 26! . He should have capitalize on it. Another good start but not able to score big

Sharma ji beta yet again doing better than others. Raw-Hit Sharma 83*

Only 12 balls left for Rabada. If India plays smart cricket, then easy win for India

Story of the Day: Rohit Shama cutting the SA bowlers today.

South Africa were low on confidence which was shown by them in the first half of the game. Bumrah has been excellent with the new ball. Rabada is fighting hard but the show is being stolen slowly by the world class Hitman Sharma.

Dhoni should rotate the strike and play with at least 80 strike rate. If not it will increase the pressure on the other end which will lead to slog and loss of wickets

India (164-3) 38 overs

First Indian century for 2019 CWC Loading ? Touchwood!

Well played Rohit Sharma. 23rd ODI hundred. Calm and composed innings.

INDIA need 50 runs in 54 balls

New Zealand defeat Afghanistan by 7 wickets

Chasing a below-par target of 173, the Kiwis got off to a shaky start as they lost their opener Martin Guptill for a duck on the very first ball off Aftab Alam.

Despite the fall of wickets, New Zealand managed to bounce back as Williamson (79) and Tom Latham's (13) 43-run stand took the Blackcaps over the line, securing their third consecutive win in the World Cup.
