Men's T20 World Cup
Group C: West Indies beat England by 30 runs.
Mumbai, 11 February.
West Indies 196-6 (20 overs; S Rutherford 76*, R Chase 34, J Holder 33, S Hetmyer 23; J Overton 2-33)
England 166 (19 overs; S Curran 43*, J Bethell 33, P Salt 30, J Buttler 21; G Motie 3-33, R Chase 2-29)
Sherfane Rutherford acknowledges his half-century
A wicket in each of their opening overs for Jofra Archer and Sam Curren removes both Windies openers. Not great deliveries it has to be said, both wide and hammered away only to be caught. Two more gone before the halfway stage, Hetmyer and Chase to Overton and Rashid. Rutherford and Holder plunder runs in the closing overs adding 61 for the sixth wicket with Archer going for 48 off his four. Great recovery by the Windies after that shaky start. A big chase for England on a pitch taking spin. What a start from Phil Salt taking 24 off Holder's opening over. Powerplay over with England rattling along at 11/over. Exactly half way to their target at the 10 over mark but England can't take their foot off the loud pedal. They keep pushing and the Windies nibble away a few more wickets - 62 required off the final 5 overs and 47 off the last three. Jason Holder to bowl the eighteenth and presumably the twentieth if required - remember his first went for 24!! Three singles a Six from Curran and a run out is what is required. Dawson run out and Rashid caught at deep square off Joseph means Holder will not be required.
Men's T20 World Cup
Group B: Australia beat Ireland by 67 runs.
RPS, Colombo, 11 February.
Australia 182-6 (20 overs; M Stoinis 45, J Inglis 37, M Renshaw 37, C Green 21; M Adair 2-44)
Ireland 115 (16.5 overs; G Dockrell 41, L Tucker 24; N Ellis 4-12, A Zampa 4-23)
Quick work by Calitz to Adair runs out Travis Head
Australian skipper Travis Head was dropped by Calitz in Humphrey's opening over but run out in Adair's next. The Premadasa in Colombo has traditionally favoured spin and Ireland going big with it today, Harry Tector the fourth option used today and he has Glenn Maxwell well caught by Tucker off an under-edge. Australia 90-4 at the halfway stage. Can Ireland contain the Australian charge in the later overs - No is the answer as Ireland turn back to pace for McCarthy and Adair to finish off the innings with double digit rates against their name. First ball of the chase Paul Stirling retires hurt. Full ball from Bartlett dug out in around his feet and he hobbles a single. Hard to tell if it's blow on the foot or a tweaked muscle as he set off for the run. Adair survives a 'dolly' at cover before Tector goes without scoring last ball of the second over. Adair skittled next ball not offering a shot in the end to a Nathan Ellis back-of-the-hand slower ball and Campher comes and goes in the same over. Calitz drags on to give Ellis his third. It doesn't look as if Paul Stirling will be taking any further part today - he is in the dugout having changed out of his playing kit. Delany slogs at a Zampa top-spinner but only edges to the keeper - glum faces in the stands as well as on the Irish bench. Tucker becomes Zampa's second victim and George Dockrell who runs past a wide leg-break his third before Adair gifts him a fourth in his final over. A fourth for Ellis as McCarthy holes out in the deep ends the match with Stirling unable to bat. Grim viewing for those at home as well as for the travelling support.
Men's T20 World Cup
Group D: South Africa beat Afghanistan in a second super-over.
Ahmedabad, 11 February.
South Africa 187-6 (20 overs; R Rickleton 61, Q De Kock 59, D Brevis 23, D Miller 20*; A Omarzai 3-41, R Khan 2-28)
Afghanistan 187 (19.4 overs; R Gurbaz 84; L Ngidi 3-26)
Afghanistan just Inches from the win in 'normal time'
Two no-balls and a wide in the twentieth over by Rabada sees Afghanistan get 12 of the 13 runs they needed for the win. With Farooqi run-out by inches going for the winning run the game goes to a Super-Over. Sensational start to that as Omarzai goes 4,6,1 off Ngidi, A single for Gurbaz brings Omarzai back on strike and he cuts for 4 before a single to finish - Sourh Africa will need 18 runs. PLACE YOUR BETS! Big Afghanistan team meeting going on as they decide who will bowl the over for them - Farooqi is the chosen one while South Africa send out Brevis and Miller. Sigle to Miller, 6 to Brevis! WICKET as Brevis lobs a top edge to the keeper. Stubbs edges 4 through slip, DOT - full and straight back to Farooqi. SIX from Stubbs and now the Super Over is TIED!!! This time it's Stubbs and Miller versus Omarzai. SIX and a single from Miller . Two from Stubbs, SIX from Miller and ANOTHER, two to finish - that makes 23. Surely too many for Afghanistan? Nabi and Omarzai and to face Maharaj. No pace to work with and Nabi is caught at point after an opening Dot. Six from Gurbaz but he needs 3 more from the last 3 balls.SIX - well that's one of them!. SIX - That's the second! WIDE - four needed for a THIRD Super-Over. Aaaaagh, a squirted catch to point. South Africa escape for the third time in the match.
Men's T20 World Cup
Group A: Pakistan beat USA by 32 runs.
SSC, Colombo, 10 February.
Pakistan 190-9 (20 overs; S Farhan 73, B Azam 46, S Khan 30; S Van Schalkwyk 4-25)
USA 158-8 (20 overs; S Ranjane 51, S Jahangir 49, M Kumar 29; U Tariq 3-27, Shadhab Khan 2-26)
Shadley Van Schaldwyk is now the Tournament’s leading wicket taker.
Pakistan post a formidable 190-9 thanks primarily to decent knocks from Sahibzada Farhan (73) and Babar Azam (46) who added 81 for the third wicket, Late runs for Shadhab Khan who hit a 12-ball 30 probably has taken the game out of the reach of the USA. Four wickets again for former NCU professional Shadley van Schalkwyk. The chase has been all about Shayan Jahangir who scored 49 of his sides 68 runs at the halfway stage before holing out just after. USA making little attempt to chase down the target as they reach 111-3 off 15 overs - 80 needed off the last five overs. Do or die time. Ranjane struck a few lusty blows on his way to 51 being severe on Shaheen Afridi, but it was too little, too late as Pakistan closed out a comfortable 32-run win.
Men's T20 World Cup
Group D: New Zealand beat UAE by 10 wickets.
Chennai, 10 February.
UAE 173-6 (20 overs; M Waseem 66*, A Sharafu 55, A Choudhary 21; M Henry 2-37
New Zealand 175-0 (15.2 overs; T Seifert 89*, F Allen 84*)
Aryansh Sharma falls hooking Jacob Duffy to deep square leg
UAE opt to bat but lose a wicket in just the second over, Sharma caught hooking at Jacob Duffy. Captain Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu on the attack together - 50-1 at the end of the Powerplay. The duo continue on their merry way scoring half centuries in a second wicket partnership of 107. A final total of 173 for 6 gives the Emiratis something to bowl at. Won't be easy against a powerful Kiwi batting line-up, but they have given themselves a chance. Steady start to the chase but the fourth over doubles the score with 22 off it. Finn Allen and Tim Seifert into the 20s. The carnage continues with 78 coming in the powerplay. Been a great exhibition of controlled aggression by the NZ openers. Some huge blows as Seifert reaches 50 in 23 balls. Allen not far behind as the 100 comes up in the 9th over. 119-0 at the ten-over mark. Been very one-sided. Tim Allen reaches 100 sixes landmark and joins some illustrious company headed by Martin Guptill. The UAE have been blown away - not a sniff of a chance as NZ close out an emphatic 10-wicket victory.
Men's T20 World Cup
Group A: Netherlands beat Namibia by 7 wickets.
Delhi, 10 February.
Namibia 156-8 (20 overs; J Loftie-Eaton 42, J Frylinck 30, JJ Smit 22; L Van Beek 2-13, B De Leede 2-20)
Netherlands 159-3 (18 overs; B De Leede 72*, C Ackermann 32, M Levitt 28)
A match winning innings of 72* from Bas De Leede today
Jan Frylinck and Jan Loftie-Eaton added 50 in a second wicket partnership, before a strong second half to their innings saw Namibia add a further 91 runs. An attacking start to the chase sees the Oranje lose O'Dowd and Levitt but they are favourites at the halfway stage needing exactly 80 more for the win. Ackerman, dropped by Steenkamp on 14, goes for 32, but it's full steam ahead from De Leede who finishes unbeaten on 72 off 48 (5x4, 4x6), the Netherlands winning with two overs to spare.
