Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand Match score Update

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.

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.

World Cup Updates - Match Reviews and Forecasts

All of us who have watched today's world cup match between Netherlands and England would definitely say that it was most interesting match of the world cup 2011 so far. Also many will not forget to praise for the the Netherlands team, who gave a tight fight to England team.

So for this was the best performance from the underdogs in the tournament. Especially brilliant performance from Ryan ten Doeschate from Netherland who not only scored a century but also took 2 wickets giving just 47 runs. ten Doeschate was also awarded Man of the Match, which he definitely deserved today. I am sure this Netherlands team will give tough time for other teams in the group too.

Coming on to tomorrows match between Pakistan and Kenya. Kenya who lost their first match badly to New Zealand will be looking to forget the nightmare performances that day but I don't expect much from the Kenyan team and all I want is to wish them good luck and hope that tomorrows match will not be one sided match.

Excitement begins day after tomorrow when South Africa will take on two time champions West Indies. Will write about that match later.

Below are wallpapers of Ryan ten Doeschate man of the match for today:
