Well unlike the first quarter final of the world cup, second one between Australia and India was a thrilling one day cricket match many one will remember for years to come. Till the last half an hour of the match it was hard to decide which team is going to win the match and no doubt Australia looked better in most of the match but 2 over is a row that cost 25 runs to Australia changed the game. Not only they eased the pressure off for both Yuvraj and Suresh Raina but also bring the required run rate under 6 runs.
It was third man of the match for Yuvraj Singh in this world cup and he is having a wonderful world cup so far. He has been second highest wicket taker for India in the world cup after Zaheer Khan and he has batted sensibly also. So far he has got more than 300 runs in the tournament. Even Suresh Raina proved that his inclusion for today s match was not wrong. The only thing that went wrong for India today and which might be an area of concern to the think tank is the bowling of Munaf Patel. Munaf is neither picking up wicket nor containing the batsmen. It might be good if Indian cricket team can take risk in including Sreesanth who played only single match in the world cup so far.
Now it’s confirmed that India will play Pakistan in the semi-final match at Mohali on 30th March.
Till then we have two more quarter finals and important one comes tomorrow between South Africa and New Zealand at Dhaka. New Zealand has been responsible for sending South Africa out of the world cup tournaments in the past but this time South Africa seem to have learned from their past and it looks more balanced team now. It would be interesting to see the competition between Imran Tahir and Daniel Vettori.

New Zealand Vs South Africa - 3rd Quarterfinal Match
India v Netherlands match live - ICC Cricket World Cup
Many people are taking this match as Sehwag vs ten Doeschate. Let see how the match will progress. Like many other ICC assosciates Netherlands mayalso want to go home with atleast one win. Tomorrows match may not ne the one they may consider winning. But yes Netherlands team will have a great experience playing against the number one team at the home. For Team India I want to see some changes in the team like gettin R Ashwin and Ashish Nehra back in the team.
Indian team looke very poor in bowling and they will need to get a good bowling combination before moving to the knock out rounds of the world cup. Let wait and watch how tomorrows match may go for team India and Netherlands as well. In the mean time New Zealand has accelerated heavily in the slog voers and team score reaching 257 for 6 in 48 overs. Pakistan here played a heavy price for Dropping birthday boy Ross taylor in the very first over he played bowled by Shohaib Akhtar.

New Zealand 142/4 in 35 overs - Need to push for runs
New Zealand lost 2 quick wickets at the start of the innings but Martkin Guptil and Ross Taylor batted well to build the innings for Neww Zealand. Once Marting Guptil was bowlede by Shahid Afridi delivery, other wicket also fell quickly. Now New Zealand can make a strong comeback in the match only be batting well in the last 15 overs and if they can manage to score somewhere around 280 it won't be easy for Pakistan to chase the score.
For Pakistan it would be ideal if they can pick some quick wickets and manage to restric New Zealand under 250 otherwise it wont be easy for them to chase.

New Zealand Vs Pakistan Match Live Coverage
Tomorrow is another important match specially for New Zealand team. They definitely need to win this match so as to make it to the next round comfortably. Pakistan on the other hands looks comfortable for the next round but I doubt the team will have to win thins match so as to boos the confidence and also make an impact that is not a AFRIDI only team.
For those who have watched today's match and saw Canada defeating Kenya, one question must have raised in the mind - Will any of the associate team make it to the next round of the ICC world cup 2011. Well I really want one associate team from both the groups to proceed to the quarter finals but chances of this looks very rare. Let see how the tournament progresses.

Boring Week day Matches Vs Interesting Weekend Matches at world Cup
Boring Week day Matches Vs Interesting Weekend Matches at world Cup, perhaps this statement is going to be true till the world cup matches proceed to the knock out stage (Quarter finals). For instance you can see this weekend there were two interestign matches first one Pakistan vs Sri Lanka and Second one India Vs England on Sunday. Both the matches were interesting but as the week started today there were two boring matches played whose summary is as below:
Zimbawe Vs Canada - Another boring match which again raises the quesdtion of associate nations of ICC participating in the tournaments like world cup. Canada was all out at 123 while chasing 299 to win. Interesting Netherlands also made 115 runs.
West Indies Vs Netherlands: I doubt if this was the same team that fought so well against England the other day. Perhaps the team had a bad day today I wish the Netherlands team good luck for next match. I want this team to win atleast one match beffore leaving home from the world cup.
Some boring matches you can catch this weekdays:
Sri Lanka v Kenya : Tomorrow day nigh cricket match. Kenya team once have gain some respect among the opponents but this Kenyan team looks much like other associates. Sri Lanka wont have any problems in this one sided match. Lets see how many records will be broken or created tomorrow.
England v Ireland - 2-March: Another one sided match, Ireland team has a long distance to travel before they canhope of competiting and winning matches against these test playing nations.
March 3 : two matches will be played amongh; Netherlands v Sth Africa & Canada v Pakistan. Once again pretty one sided games.
March 4: N Zealand v Zimbabwe and Bangladesh v West Indies . These two games can be worl cup turning matches in case Zimbawe or Bangladesh win the matches.
some good matches will be on 5 and 6 march I will post about those later.

Match 11 ICC World Cup - India vs England
Another Sunday encounter for team 11, this match will definitely be one turning highest crowd in the group stage matches. India will take on England in the group stage on 27th Feb in a day night match. Match will begin at 2:00 pm local time (+5:30 GMT).
No matter England has won the Ashes test series but for me England is a team capable of performing against Australia and Ashes only. In one day format team lacks the discipline in both batting and bowling. Specially when you check bowling in the sub-continent team definitely require someone in the spin bowling capable to turning matches. India team on the other hand have already 3 regular spin bowlers in the 15 members squad and they have other part times like Yuvraj, Raina, Sehwag etc who can bowl couple of good overs and hence India team can have the option of playing one extra batsmen if needed.
In this match Indian team definitely looks strong and capable of winning the match. Let the match begin and catch all the live action.

Sri Lanka v Pakistan World Cup Match Live
This is definitely one of the most exciting matches of the group stage in the world cup 2011. Sri Lanka and Pakistan, both one time champions taking each other in the group stage of 2011 world cup. Both the team have good combination of spin and pace bowlin atttack and some very good batsmen in the world. This match between the two team will be goin to be a high scorig match.
As this is going to be a day nigh t match I guess toss may play a littly role guessgin the due factor which can make fielding and bowling little difficult under lights.
You can catch all the live action of the match here at the ICC Cricket Blog. Thanks was visitng and enjot the world cup :)

World Cup Live Score – Match 8 & 9 - Australia v New Zealand, Bangladesh v Ireland
World Cup Live Score – Match 8 & 9 - Australia v New Zealand, Bangladesh v Ireland
25-Feb-2011 – Two matches will be played today one at 9:30 a.m I.S.T between Australia and New Zealand and the second one will be a day night match starting at 2:30 p.m IST. You can catch all the live action of both world cup matches here at ICC Cricket Blog.
Match between Australia and New Zealand is going to be an exciting match, although New Zealand team lost to Bangladesh and India in the series played in Bangladesh and New Zealand respectively. I still think they must have done the required refinements in the team and there world cup strategies. Australia too is not having a good series against England. They lost the ashes and now in one day series they lost the recent game. However it is totally a different scenario when you are playing a world cup tournament. Hence I see this match as a closer one in the world cup matches of group A. Watch the live score of the match here, enjoy the game.
Second match today between Bangladesh and Ireland can be virtually a knock out one and I see winner from this match will have 60% chances of making it to the next round of the world cup. Bangladesh has here a little edge over Ireland because of home conditions and experienced team.
Watch the live scores of both the matches and in case you have any query, feedback post as a comment or email at m23mike@gmail.com
Live Score World Cup Match 7 South Africa v West Indies
Welcome for the post on live score for the seventh match of the world cup 2011. Match will be played between South Africa and West Indies. You can catch the live scoring action of the match at ICC Cricket Blog. Below are few highlights of both the teams.
South Africa may have been number 2 or number 3 ranked team in ICC Cricket Rankings for both one day and test cricket for many years, but this team has always hard luck when it comes to major ICC tournaments like ICC World Cup, Champions Trophy etc. West Indies on the other hand was the champion in the initial years when cricket was growing as a sport. AFter winning the first two world cup tournaments West Indies team is on a decline and never looked so threatning it was once with 5 fast bowlers in the bowling and some really tough hitting batsmen.
I personally want West Indies win this world cup reasons are it will become the team to win maximum number of world cups after Australia and at the same time it would get the game some life in West Indies.
Let wait and watch which team will win the worlc cup. Enjot the tournament.

Match 4 - Australia vs Zimbabwe -Ahemdabad
Fourth match of the ICC cricket world cup will be a group A match played between
Australia v Zimbabwe at Ahmedabad. Given the fact that Australia has won the world cup maximum number of times and Zimbabwe is a troubled nation team, this match is also going to be a one sided match. Now till now we have seen that all the 3 previous matches also seem to be one sided affairs. Her is the pre-match review of the first three matches of the 2011 world cup:

- Match 2 World Cup 2011 Kenya v New Zealand at Chennai
- Match 3 world Cup - Sri Lanka Vs Canada
Perhaps this is the trend of all worl cup tournaments be it hockey, cricket, soccer or any other game. Games get exciting as the competition goes by. My best wishes to the zimbabwe team this nation definitely needs a world cup win fo rthe game to survie and grow in the nation. I really wnat them not to exit in the first phase of the tournament.
