India's top order fired in unison and their bowlers produced a tidy display to beat reigning world champions Australia by 36 runs in a thrilling World Cup match at the Oval on Sunday.

Shikhar Dhawan (117) smashed his 17th ODI century and forged significant partnerships with fellow opener Rohit Sharma (57) and skipper Virat Kohli (82) to power India to a commanding 352-5.

Several frontline Australia batsmen got good starts but none could bat deep enough to see them home as they were all out for 316 in exactly 50 overs.

Steve Smith (69), David Warner (56) and Alex Carey (55 not out) scored the bulk of the runs for Australia, who tasted their first defeat after wins against Afghanistan and West Indies earlier in the tournament.

Australia fight on

Australia require 115 runs from 10 overs with six wickets remaining.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah took the wickets of Usman Khuwaja and Steve Smith in quick successions to put the Aussies in the back foot, just as they were looking to score some runs. India look to be on top, however, the batting depth for Australia go deep.



Aussie hopes reside with Smith, Warner

Skipper Aaron Finch fell to a run out but old guards David Warner and Steve Smith are currently at the crease as Australia look to assail the huge target of 353 set by India at the Kennington Oval.

Warner and Finch started things at a slow and steady rate. Finch was the aggressor in a 35-ball 36-run knock while Warner played the anchor role. The required run-rate has climbed aggressively to 8.46 as Australia reached 99 for 1 in 20 overs. Much will rest on this duo who came back to the Australia fold after serving one-year bans.

India post a mammoth total

India scored 352 for the loss of five wickets at the end of their 50 overs. It Is now the second-highest team total of the 2019 World Cup.

Opener Shikhar Dhawan smashed his 17th century in one-day internationals as India's top order fired in unison to power them to 352 for five wickets in their World Cup match against holders Australia on Sunday.

Dhawan added 127 runs with fellow opener Rohit Sharma (57) and 93 with skipper Virat Kohli to lay the foundation for a big total before departing for 117 at the Oval.

Kohli made a typically breezy 82 and Hardik Pandya, dropped behind the wicket on the very first ball he faced, smashed 48 off 27 balls to justify his promotion in the batting order.

India on course for a big score

As Virat Kohli reached his 50th half century in ODIs, he seemed to have accelerated the pace of scoring runs. Whereas, Hardik Pandya also joined the party scoring 38 runs off 19 balls only to take this partnership beyond the half century mark. India look to score a huge total ahead. India reach 281 for two in 44 overs.

Starc missed his yorker again, went too full on middle and leg. Dhawan ventured an almighty hoick, got more height as opposed to distance – those were bigger boundaries anyway - and holed out to deep midwicket. End of an excellent innings nevertheless. Hardik Pandya to the crease.

Over 32.3, IND 188/1

Shikhar Dhawan reached an excellent 100 runs off 95 balls as he takes a nervy single. There was a bit of confusion between Kohli and Dhawan, as there was a direct hit to the stumps. However, they took the run comfortably as the ball bounced from the stumps.

Kohli dished out a full-stretch dive at the non-striker's end and wass safe. Kohli and Dhawan exchanged wry smiles. Then came Dhawan's trademark celebration. He had his hands aloft, bat raised, and acknowledged the cheers. His coach Shastri was on his feet in the dressing room applauding Dhawan. Very full on off, jabbed to mid-off. Yes-no, yes-no, Dhawan somehow got a single in the end and reached a hundred - his sixth at an ICC ODI tournament. Only Tendulkar and Ganguly are ahead of him on this list

India were given an incredible start by openers Rohit Sharma and Shikar Dhawan in their match against Australia at the Kennigton Oval in London today.

The Indian duo clinched the second best opening stand against Australia at the World Cup, only behind AB de Villiers and Graeme Smith’s 160-run partnership in 2007.

Sharma also became the fastest ODI batsmen to score 2000 runs against any side in cricket, reaching the landmark in his 37th match against Australia. The duo set India up for a big total before Coulter-Nile removed Sharma in the 23rd over. Dhawan is batting on 71 off 68 deliveries while Virat Kohli has just joined him at the crease. India 136/1 after 25 overs.

Rain has been a constant companion of the Bangladesh team since their fourth World Cup match against Sri Lanka was washed out in Bristol on June 11, and it was a presence in Taunton yesterday during their first practice session since that game.

However, in their eagerness to get their World Cup campaign back on track and lift themselves from seventh position after four matches, 12 of the 15-man squad started practice in the afternoon drizzle at the Coopers Associates County Ground. The small ground will be the venue for the Tigers’ next match against the West Indies on June 17. The players missing from the optional practice session were Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das and Rubel Hossain. Shakib, who sustained a left thigh strain in the match against England on June 8, has been advised to rest and may join the team during practice today or tomorrow.

During practice itself, the Tigers appeared to have overcome the gloom of rain setting back their race to the semifinals, and were enjoying the warm-up game of keepy-uppy and their fielding drills. As the sun broke through batsmen like Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim were eager to get the net batting started as there was no telling how long the good weather would stay.

Apart from Shakib’s injury, there are lingering concerns regarding Mohammad Saifuddin’s back problem which first flared up during the warm-up match against India on May 28. Bangladesh bowling coach Courtney Walsh said yesterday that Saifuddin had played a couple of games ‘under duress’ but hoped that the two days of rest would be good enough to have the pace-bowling all-rounder back to 95 per cent fitness. Skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has been nursing hamstring trouble since the India match as well. Both players, however, looked fit enough during fielding practice, both diving around to take catches.

With the match still three days away, settling on a playing eleven was still a way off. The square boundaries in Taunton are short, which may play into West Indies’ power-hitters’ hands. One change could be to include an extra pacer in Rubel Hossain, but Walsh said that they would have to see the pitch closer to the match day to come to that decision.

The Expert Opinion  ||     from ABDUR RAZZAK    ||

At this moment, I have to say Shakib Al Hasan is the most in-form all-rounder in the world.

He is in very good touch with his bowling and his batting has been brilliant at this ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

He made another century in the win over the West Indies, his second of this tournament with two other half-centuries.

He is the number one all-rounder in the ICC rankings as well and he is in tremendous form.

In fact, I have never seen him play like this – the consistency he is showing is incredible. I have played with him many times over the years but this is the best form of his career.

That was a very good win for Bangladesh against the West Indies because they are a very, very good side – they’ve played really good cricket in this World Cup.

For Bangladesh it was a crucial game because if they lost or even it rained, then they wouldn’t have had a great chance to go through to the semi-finals.

It’s really, really important to start quickly, especially in England. If you start well, either bowling or batting, most of the time those teams win – we’ve seen that at this World Cup.

We started well with the ball by getting Chris Gayle out early and that was important.

When West Indies scored 300+, I heard from quite a few people saying ‘Bangladesh will lose this game’. But I told them just wait and see.

I know the ground at Taunton, I’ve played over there, and on a wicket which wasn’t seaming they had a chance. It was a batter’s wicket and at Taunton, 320 isn’t an easy target but it isn’t that hard either.

They started well with the bat and then Shakib and Liton Das did brilliantly to put on that 189-run partnership and see them over the line.

It’s really difficult coming into the team in the middle of this type of tournament, so Liton Das was definitely under pressure.

When a new player comes to play in a big game, in a big tournament, with this type of atmosphere, it is really tough.

It was a pressure moment and he coped very nicely. He showed what he can do as a player and it’s exciting for Bangladeshi cricket.

Bangladesh had confidence from their recent record against the West Indies, which is now eight wins in the last ten ODIs.

They’ve beaten them in the West Indies, in Ireland and in Bangladesh as well. If you keep beating any team consistently then it’s really, really confidence-boosting.

When they were set 320, the boys would have still felt they were going to win the game because they know they can do it against the West Indies.

Importantly, their chances of reaching the semi-finals are still alive. Each and every game is so important because if you lose one now, it will be really difficult to go through.

This one was crucial and the game against Australia at Trent Bridge on Thursday is the same but this confidence will help them and carry over to that clash.

They will believe they can beat anyone because they are playing really good cricket.

Bangladesh reached the quarter-finals at the 2015 World Cup and then the semi-finals at the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 – they’ve done really well at recent big tournaments – but I honestly believe they are playing even better than that at the moment.

Afsana Mimi has high hopes for the match today. “The tigers have played remarkably well in the World Cup so far, and I feel that under the dynamic leadership of our captain Mashrafe, good things are coming our way today,” she says.

Aupee Karim was delighted to see Bangladesh win their first match of the World Cup. “I hope that our cricketers put up a good fight today and play well. I support them, regardless of whether they win or lose,” says the actor.

On the other hand, Chanchal Chowdhury believes that the Bangladesh team has come a long way in cricket. “Our team managed to earn much respect with their tenacious work, and we as a nation share that happiness,” he says. “Our ambitious achievements in the sport led to a recognition that was unheard of in the past. So, I am rather enthusiastic about today’s match and am really looking forward to the rest. I believe the Bangladesh team will bring us glory!”

David Warner scored an unbeaten 89 as champions Australia launched their World Cup defence with a seven-wicket thrashing of Afghanistan in Bristol yesterday after New Zealand pacer Matt Henry led an inspired bowling unit to run through Sri Lanka’s batting in the Black Caps’ 10-wicket win.

In his first major international appearance since a year-long ban for his role in a ball-tampering scandal, Warner scored a brisk 89 off 114 balls with the help of eight boundaries. He looked in fine form and will probably rue the fact that the Afghans had not scored a bit more given that the Aussies romped home with 91 balls to spare, as 11 more runs would have made him the first player at this World Cup to score a century.

Afghanistan’s total of 207 all out, made following captain Gulbadin Naib’s surprising decision to bat first at Bristol on Saturday, never looked like troubling Australia.

Former Australia captain Steve Smith, who was also given a 12-month ban for his part in the ball-tampering affair in South Africa, made 18 before being dismissed just three runs shy of a victory completed.

In the day’s earlier game, Henry returned figures of 3-29 and combined with fellow paceman Lockie Ferguson who also took three wickets to bowl out Sri Lanka for 136 in 29.2 overs in Cardiff.

Martin Guptill and Colin Munro then struck unbeaten half-centuries to make short work of their modest target. The Kiwis cruised home in 16.1 overs to register their third win in a World Cup game by 10 wickets.

The right-left batting combination of Guptill, who hit 73, and Munro, who scored 58, had little trouble in smashing the Sri Lankan bowlers to all parts of the ground.

Guptill hammered eight fours and two sixes including one hit that sailed out of the ground.

But it was Henry’s spell of seven straight overs that opened the gates for New Zealand’s domination against the 1996 champions.

Henry stood out in the absence of senior paceman Tim Southee, who missed the game due to a calf injury, with his incisive pace and swing.

He struck with the second delivery of the game to send Lahiru Thirimanne trudging back to the pavilion after the left-handed opener had hit a boundary from the first ball.

Thirimanne was initially ruled not out by the on-field umpire, but the Kiwis successfully reviewed the lbw call in their favour after replays suggested the ball pitched on line and would have hit the batsman’s leg stump.

The left-handed Karunaratne, who has returned to the one-day side after a gap of four years, then put on 42 runs for the second wicket with Kusal Perera.

But Williamson kept Henry on for the bowler’s fifth over and the move paid off as he got Perera for 29 and Kusal Mendis without scoring on successive deliveries.

Dhananjaya de Silva played the hattrick ball with a glorious off drive, but soon fell to the pace of Lockie Ferguson after being trapped lbw.

Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne stood out amid the ruins with his unbeaten 52 including a 52-run stand with Thisara Perera, who made 27 off 23 balls, to give his team’s total some respect.

The rest of the batting showed little promise with three scores of nought in the innings including from former captain Angelo Mathews.

Karunaratne registered his third ODI fifty in 81 balls as he ran out of partners after Lasith Malinga was bowled by Ferguson for one.

Pacemen Colin de Grandhomme, James Neesham, Trent Boult and the team’s only spinner in the XI Mitchell Santner claimed a wicket each.

South Africa finally got a World Cup win under their belts as they eased to a nine-wicket triumph over Afghanistan on Saturday to keep alive their hopes of reaching the semi-finals.

Leg-spinner Imran Tahir took 4-29, engineering an Afghani collapse after a 75-minute rain break as they were dismissed for 125. Chris Morris contributed with figures of 3-13 and Andile Phehlukwayo took two wickets.

The South Africans set about chasing a slightly adjusted target of 127 from 48 overs in cautious fashion, reaching 131-1 with 19 overs to spare.

Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock shared a 104-run opening wicket partnership before De Kock was dismissed for 68.

Amla finished on 41 not out and Phehlukwayo hit a six for the winning runs to end unbeaten on 17.

After three defeats and another game called off because of rain, Saturday’s match was always going to be a big chance for Faf du Plessis’ South Africa team to get their first win.

But they still looked sloppy in the opening overs as Afghanistan dealt well with the new ball and were 69-2 when the teams went off for rain.

When they came back, however, they lost four wickets for the addition of one run in two overs, with Phehlukwayo taking the wicket of Mohammad Nabi and Tahir striking with his first delivery as he bowled Noor Ali Zadran for 32.

Tahir claimed a second victim four balls later and the wickets tumbled regularly after that.

“We planned a lot for their seamers but not so much for him and credit must go to Imran for his spell. He bowled very well in the right areas,” Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib said.

A cameo of 35 from Rashid Khan took Afghanistan into three figures before he became Tahir’s fourth victim.

“I knew I wouldn't get it to turn but I tried to vary it and get the batsmen to make mistakes. It came out well and I’m really pleased that I played my part for the team,” said Tahir after being named man of the match.

After their poor start to the tournament, South Africa effectively need to win their remaining four matches, starting with New Zealand in Birmingham on Wednesday, to make the last four.

Afghanistan all out for 125

Imran Tahir's four for 29 and right-arm quick Chris Morris' three for 13 helped South Africa bundle Afghanistan out for a meagre 125 in just 34.1 overs at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff today.

 

 

The match between Afghanistan and South Africa was once again halted due to rain at 3:30 pm local time (8:30 pm Bangladesh time). The match at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff has been reduced to 48 overs a side. The game is scheduled to resume at 4:35 pm local time (9:35 pm Bangladesh time). 

Afghanistan were on 69 for the loss of two wickets at the end of 20 overs before the rain started for the second time in Cardiff.

Noor Ali Zadran                32 (57b)

Hashmatullah Shahidi       8 (18b)

 

Chris Morris                      5-1-13-1

Andile Phehlukwayo          5-0-13-0

 

 

 

Struggling South Africa restricted Afghanistan to 65 for two after 17 overs in their must-win World Cup match in Cardiff on Saturday.

Faf du Plessis's side have endured a torrid campaign so far, losing their first three matches and then picking up one point from a rain-ruined match against the West Indies.

Only Afghanistan, with three defeats in three games, are below them in the 10-team table

Earlier, unfancied Afghanistan made a bright start, reaching 33 without loss when rain temporarily stopped play in the sixth over, with Hazratullah Zazai and Noor Ali Zadran both unbeaten on 16.

After the resumption, Zazai was the first to go, caught by Rassie van der Dussen for 22 off the bowling of paceman Kagiso Rabada before Chris Morris trapped Rahmat Shah in front when he was on six.

South Africa, who were unchanged, won the toss and chose to bowl.

Afghanistan made one change, bringing in former captain Asghar Afghan in place of Najibullah Zadran.

"Chasing when there is rain around generally gives you a better indication of what to do," said Du Plessis. (AFP, Cardiff)

Match delayed due to rain

Afghanistan scored 33 runs without losing any wickets in 5.5 overs before rain halted the game at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. 

  

South Africa opt to bowl against Afghanistan

South Africa have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Afghanistan at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff today. 

The two sides have never met in ODI before. South Africa are yet to register a victory in this edition of World Cup as Faf du Plessis' men lost their first three matches and their last game against West Indies was also washed out due to rain. With just one poimt from four matches, South Africa will be desperately looking for a win today if they are to have any chance of progressing to the semifinal.

Afghanistan have also lost all the three games that they have played so far in the tournament.

South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Hashim Amla, Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Beuran Hendricks, Imran Tahir.
