First of all lets talk about match between Ireland and Netherlands. It was an interesting and high scoring match. In the end Ireland chased down the score of 306 runs comfortably with 2.2 overs still left. However this match didn't effect any of the team in the group B as both Ireland and Netherlands team are out of the world cup.
However suspense about who are the other 3 teams that will qualify for the quarter finals along with South Africa from the group B is still maintained. England best West Indies to keep there hopes for the next round live. Now its a virtual quarter final ahead of knock out rounds for West Indies and India who will play against each other on Sunday 20th March.
Now its time for score update Sri Lanka despite gettin a good start ended up with a score of 265/9 in 50 overs. Now lets see if the Kiwi team will be able to chase this score or not. As far as pitch conditions are concerned it will remain a good track to bat despite some assistance to the pace bowlers.

Match 24 ICC world Cup Sri Lanka VS Zimbabwe
Sri Lank got of to a flying start both the openers scored centuroies and are still not out while game is progressing in the 41 over. Dilshan is playing on 127 and Upul Tharanga is batting on 109. Now I rarely see if Zimbabwe bowlers can do any miracle here but they can get some compensatory wickets in case Sri Lanka batsmen try to exce,l the score.
Sri Lanka has score 248 run in 41.1 overs without loosing any wickets and this game is also heading for a 300+ score.

World Cup India Vs Ireland Match Live Score Updates
Well 2011 world cup has another draw match but this time match was drawn due to rain. Sri Lanka and Australia both shared a equal points from todays match and are now placed second in the poins table after Pakistan in groub B. Though both team hav equal points theonly difference is that Sri Lanka has played one more match as compared to Australia. The other draw match was between India and England.
Please note that both these drawn matches will havea great influence on the future of the world cup especially the knock out stages.
Another important match will be played tomorrow between India and Ireland. Ireland who already have won match against England, but I must say team is not riding high on the win as the captain said on pre match conference that they (Ireland team) will
have to make a fresh start for tomorrows match. No matter Indian team looks strong here but the Indian think tank is also worried after Ireland's victory over England.
I am confident of Indian team winning tomorrows match and I want that team India should bat second in tomorrows match as I will want to see how strong batting line up can chase a score. I will keep you updated tomorrows about match progress. Do visit again. In the mean while dont forget to havea look at updated world cup points table.

Australia Vs Sri Lanka World Cup Match Preview
After the Pakistan and Sri Lanka game the tomorrows match between Sri Lanka and Australia is being considered to be one of the match that will test the real strength of the world cup favourites. For Sri Lanka this match is a must win match not only just to keep hopes for next round of the world cup alive but also to keep the team morale high. If Sri Lankan team loses the match to Australia then I can definitely say world cup is not for this Sri Lankan team. On the other hand for Australia the match will be the real test of the batting and bowling skills against the team in the sub-continent.
No doubt tomorrows match will also decide the fate for Australian fourth consecutive world cup title. Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis are three top guns in bowling Sri Lanka have, I am not sure how many of Australian batsmen will have any special plans to handle the 30 overs to be bowled by these three bowlers.
Though Australia have won the matches against New Zealand and Zimbawe but one should keep in mind the fact that Ausralia lost both the warm up matches hey played against world cup favorties South Africa and India. Luckily for Ricky Ponting both the teams are not in the same group.

Bangladesh & Zimbawe lost in short one sided games
Both the mnatches played today were one sided matches and also very short durartion matches. Both Zimbawe and Bangladesh team bated badly and the score was chased easily by the opposition teams.
Match one - Zimbawe Vs New Zealand: Its has been noticed that New Zealand team win matches against ICC associate teams by large margin and at the same time they get defeated by world cup hot favorites by same margin. Today New Zealand beat Zimbawe by 10 wickets, they score of 166 was chased easily without loosin a single wicket in 33.3 overs. This win definitely give some boost to New Zealand team and they can now think of moving to the next round of the world cup.
Match two - West Indies Vs Bangladesh: A horrible performance from Bangladesh and this performance one again raises the question if Bangladesh Test status be canceled or not. Bangladesh team managed to score only 58 runs whic West Indies chased easily by loosign just one wicket in less than 15 overs. With this victory West Indies team too looks to be in the next round of the world cup easily.

New Zealand and Ireland lost their matches
New Zealand lost to Australia and Ireland lost to Bangladesh. the only difference is that Ireland being an underdog in the tournament played very well and were on the verge of winning the match before poor batting and problems playing spin took match away from them. New Zealand on the other hand never looked like a test playing nation and now people can belive that this is the team that lost to Bangladesh and India without winning nay match before the world cup. I doubt when will ICC take some action and take away test playing nation cap frm both Bangladesh and New Zealand. Both the teams are not playign to the potential of a team that have won the right to play test matches for ICC.
Another thing common in both the matches played was both were low scoring matches only 200+ runs was the target. Let see what will happen in an exciting match tomorrow between Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Pakistan Steady despite early wickets
Today it was a different team in the ground. Yes I am talking about Kenya crciket team who take on Pakistan in their second match of the world cup. Pakistan won the toss today and elected to bat first. Unlike their previous match Kenyan bowlers bowled superb openign spells and Pakistan lost two early wickets in first 10 overs with score less than 40 runs.
Now the middle order batsmen Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal are batting and both are building the partnership well. They have managed to stablize the Pakistan innigns now. Scoreboard now reads Pakistan 65 for the loss of 2 wickets in 16 overs.
Now it'd be interesting to see how game proceed from here. In case Pakistan manage to build some partnerships game will turn their way and in case Kenya keep on bowling the way they are, they can create the first upset win of the worlc cup 2011.

Former England batsman Ed Joyce has been cleared to represent Ireland at the World Cup in February next year after being granted a special dispensation by the ICC.
"Ed was granted permission for his four-year standout period to be slightly reduced so that he could compete in the World Cup," explained an ICC spokesperson. "This was done on the basis of exceptional circumstances and the unique facts of his specific case, which included his Irish background and his very strong ties to Irish cricket from childhood up to senior national representation."

ICC Cricket World Cup Opening Match - World Cup 2011
ICC Cricket World Cup Opening Match - World Cup 2011
Feb 19, 2011 will be the day when the opening match of the ICC cricket world cup 2011 will be played between the two co-hosts India and Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Bangladesh. Sri Lanka is the third hosting country, initially the other country Pakistan was also one of the co-hosts for the world cup but later ICC ruled out any possibility of world cup matches in Pakistan due to security concern, remember Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked by terrorists in Pakistan while they were on there way to the Stadium and many players had a narrow escape.
Coming back to the first match of the cricket world cup 2011 between India and Bangladesh. Both the teams are in Group B. England, West Indies, Ireland, Netherlands and South Africa are the other teams in the Group B.
India may seem to be the favorites for the world cup opener match however If you go by stats then the only world cup match played between India and Bangladesh was won by Bangladesh, also match in being played in Bangladesh thus the Bangla team can be a surprise package in the opening of the 2011 cricket world cup.
