England needs to win this match but their batsmen didn't really bat well. Faling to play 5o overs they just managed to score 171 runs in 45.4 overs, thus giving South Africa a target of 172 runs to win. I dont see South Africa will have any probelm achieving this target and a win by 7 wickets must be satisfactory for South Africa.
But as they say its not over yet and England team might havea little opprotunity if they can mamage to get some quick early wickets as South African bowlers did. Let wait and watch South African batting is about to begin in 20 mins from now and at the same time its less than 1.5 hours left for next match i.e. India Vs Ireland.
Bopara - Trott partnership builds innings after 3 early wickets
Winning the toss was the only good thing that happened to England for the first 10 overs of the game. England won the toss and elected to bat first, but they have a horrble start to the innings and lost 3 quick wickets. Ravi Bopara and Joanthan Trott now building the innings and a good partnership is going among them. Lets hope they build a health partnership that can enable England to post a competitive target for in-form South African team.
RJ Peterson the spinn bowler for South Africa caused all the damage to the England team he picked all the three wicket by giving only 4 runs in his first spell of 4 overs. Also its now less than 3.5 hours left for the most waited match between India and Ireland to begin. Just wait for the updates to be posted here at http://icccricket.blogspot.com/

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.

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.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat start but they didn't get the start they might have wanted and the opener Dilshan was out in second over scoring just 4 run in as many deliveries. Current score for Sri Lank is 20/1 in 3.3 overs.

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.

Fastest World Cup Centry by Obrien
Fastest World Cup Centry by Kevin Obrien helped Ireland win the match against England. This match Ireland team break lots of records including mentioend below:
- Fastest century in worl cup history
- Highest 5th wicket partnership
- Highest socre chased in world cup
I must also admit here that this was the most interesting match in the 2011 world cup so far, next best can be rated as the one between India and England played at the same venue last Sunday. England team is having trouble with macthes against under dogs as they had problem with match against Netherlands as well but they somehow managed to escape the Ryan ten Doeschate's onslaughter.
I can now defintely agree with the post match statement od Ireland captain who said the team still can qualify for the nest round of the tournament. They do have thre chances at the same time India and England will definitely have to work harder in comming matches so as they can qualify easily to the next round. India will play Ireland this sunday and this game wll be interesting one to watch now.
World cup match today: Today in world cup Netherlands is playing against the strong South African team who already have scored 284/4 in 46 overs. Now we will have to see if Netherlands can do the same thing as the Irish team did yesterday.
Good luck to the Netherlands team.
Player of the day : Kevin O'Brien
In the mean time South Africa have scored 351/5 in 50 overs and thus set a target hard for Netherlands to achieve.
