ICC Cricket World Cup Updates

USA beats Pakistan. Canada beats Ireland. Now Afghanistan trashes Newzealand. This world cup has turned everything upside down.

Nepal almost beat South Africa (Lost by 1 run). No team is safe. SAfrican batsmen struggling against Nepalese spinners on this pitch. I wonder what will happen on Aus V Afg on this same ground next week.

Oh, and by the way, NZ, Pak and SL are out of the World Cup Super Eights qualification. England probably would qualify, provided the rain stays away.

And Afghanistan beat Australia. I half called it in my previous post!!! Though it was medium pace that did them in on a sluggish surface.

If not for Maxwell's magical innings, Aus would have lost to Afg during last year's ODI world cup as well.

And Aussies out. Happy that a new team will have a chance to win in Final - Safrica or Afghan. If its India v any of them it would be good.

Read article on Cricbuzz (not able to find it now) about ranking done in points table based on T20 rank of the team. So India knew exactly when and where they would play semi-final if they qualify.
Afg-Ban Match happened day-night like usual T20 matches and telecast in India today morning. But all India matches happen early morning so it can be telecast at prime time 8 pm India time

This is based on broadcaster demands. It was spelled out as so by ICC.
