Australia’s World Cup campaign is back on track after David Warner and Mitch Marsh found form to power their side to a 62-run win over Pakistan.

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh powered Australia to a 62-run victory over Pakistan with their entertaining centuries Friday in the fourth game for both teams at the Cricket World Cup. Pakistan paid heavily for dropping Warner on 10 as the left-hander blazed his way to 163 off 124 balls and Marsh celebrated his 32nd birthday with a career-best 121 off 108 balls in Australia’s imposing total of 367-9. Pakistan, which won the toss and elected to field, came back strongly in the last 10 overs with Shaheen Afridi picking 5-54 and Haris Rauf, who was smacked for 24 in his first over by Warner and Marsh, taking 3-83. But the damage done by Warner and Marsh was more than enough to give Australia enough runs on board. Australia kept coming hard at Pakistan once claiming the wickets of both openers Imam-ul-Haq (70) and Abdullah Shafique (64) before it got Babar Azam's team bowled out for 305 with more than four overs to spare. “Pretty tough playing here, but good to get a win,” Australia captain Pat Cummins said.

ICC World Cup 2023: The current edition of the ICC World Cup is witnessing some fiery bowling from all teams. In particular, Team India's and New Zealand's bowling lineup has impressed a lot and one more team which has destroyed giant batting lineups with its bowling has been Afghanistan. Too much was said about the bowling lineups of Australia and Pakistan, but they are yet to display any major performances in bowling.

ICC World Cup 2023: Team India is in terrific form this World Cup season and is amongst the top contenders for the trophy. Virat Kohli's magnificent century ensured that India got its fourth consecutive victory as the Men in Blue defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets. KL Rahul, who is known for his responsible innings came on the crease and ensured that Virat Kohli gets his 100 along with India's victory.

In a thrilling World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, Indian cricket maestro Virat Kohli showcased his extraordinary batting prowess, notching up his 48th One Day International (ODI) century. This remarkable achievement was accompanied by another historic milestone, as Kohli became the quickest player to reach 26,000 international runs, a testament to his exceptional consistency and dominance.

Richard Kettleborough is the subject of a lot of discussion following his decision not to award a Wide Ball. With Virat Kohli at 97 and Nasum Ahmed bowling, India needed 2 runs to win.

In the third ball of the 42nd over of the chase, Virat Kohli came down the pitch, took the ball on the full from Nasum Ahmed and launched it into the stands over midwicket to seal a comfortable India win, and a century. With four wins in as many games, India are now on track to romp into the semifinals even if this is early in the tournament. When Kohli walked out to bat, on the day, India were already well placed at 88 for 1.

Put in to bat in challenging conditions after the rain reduced the contest to 43 over a side, the Netherlands found themselves reeling at 140 for seven before their captain Scott Edwards staged a remarkable recovery with an unbeaten 78 off 69 balls to take his side to a fighting 245 for eight. With the pitch offering variable bounce and some turn, the Netherlands sniffed an opportunity against a formidable South African batting unit which crumbled under pressure to be all out for 207 in 42.5 overs, handing the Dutch their first World Cup win against a Test playing nation. Until Tuesday, the Netherlands had only beaten fellow associate nations Namibia and Scotland in their World Cup history, having made their debut back in 1996. The surprise outcome came 48 hours after Afghanistan shocked defending champions England in Delhi, adding to the unpredictability of the 10 team competition. The Netherlands, who qualified for the their first World Cup since 2011 by finishing second in the Qualifier earlier this year, have shown significant improvement over the years. The Dutch had humbled the Proteas in T20 World Cup 11 months ago and at the scenic Dharamsala on Tuesday, they recorded another famous win over them in a less unpredictable format. At the start of the tournament, Bas de Leede, one of the few full-time cricketers in the team, had expressed delight at cricket being shown live on TV back home after four years.

Marseille | Owen Farrell was the official man of the match but not an England fan leaving the Marseille Velodrome is likely to have looked beyond Ben Earl for the outstanding player in England’s 30-24 World Cup victory over Fiji on Sunday (Monday AEDT).

Afghanistan pulled off one of the greatest World Cup shocks on Sunday when they defeated defending champions England by 69 runs in New Delhi. Chasing 285 to win, after opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz had hit a blistering 80, England were bowled out for 215 despite Harry Brook's 66 with spinners Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan claiming three wickets each. The stunning upset gave Afghanistan just their second World Cup win to add to a lone victory over Scotland at the 2015 tournament. They came into Sunday's clash having lost their opening two games in India and on a 14-match losing World Cup streak. After Gurbaz and the recalled Ikram Alikhil, with 58, had given them a decent target to defend, Afghanistan's bowlers went to work, striking at regular intervals. Jonny Bairstow (two) was lbw to Fazalhaq Farooqi in the second over before Joe Root was clean bowled by 22-year-old man of the match Mujeeb for 11. Mohammad Nabi got rid of Dawid Malan, who made 140 against Bangladesh, for 32 to precipitate a slide which saw England slump to 138-6. Skipper Jos Buttler was clean bowled by seamer Naveen-ul-Haq for nine, Rashid Khan had Liam Livingstone lbw on 10 before Nabi also dismissed Sam Curran (10). England were tied down, at one stage going more than eight overs without hitting a boundary until Brook managed the team's lone six of the innings in the 31st over. Mujeeb sent back Chris Woakes before effectively sealing the game in his next over, having Brook caught behind by Alikhil with England at 169-8. Brook's 66 came off 61 balls with seven fours and a six. Late fireworks from Adil Rashid (20), Reece Topley (15) and Mark Wood (18) only served to take England past the 200-mark. Earlier, Gurbaz, 21, piled up his runs off

Afghanistan were all out for 284 against defending champions England in their ICC World Cup match here on Sunday. England won the toss and opted to bowl.

Ramiz Raja, who was part of the 1992 World Cup winning team, rued another loss of Team Pakistan in a World Cup game vs India. Pakistan has never beaten India at the ICC ODI World Cup. Saturday's seven-wicket loss against India at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was Pakistan's eighth consecutive loss vs India in World Cups in a streak that began in 1992.

Afghanistan may be bottom of the World Cup standings after losing their first two games, but the Asian side have the ability to upset defending champions England in their group fixture on Sunday, their English coach Jonathan Trott said. Afghanistan lost their tournament opener to Bangladesh in a low-scoring encounter before hosts India registered a comfortable eight-wicket victory. Afghanistan have lost 16 of their 17 World Cup matches but Trott said there is a «a lot of fight in the dressing room» as they look to find consistency with both the bat and ball. «I think this side's got the ability to upset any side. We've been so close in previous matches, it's just about getting over the line and making sure that we do,» Trott told reporters. «We'll have an opportunity tomorrow to put pressure on England and we've got to make sure we do that.» England thrashed Afghanistan by 150 runs at the last World Cup but Trott said the gulf in quality between the two sides has significantly reduced. «England are probably in a very similar place to where they were then and we've got a bit better as well,» he added. «That's why I'm very optimistic with tomorrow's game.» Afghanistan will hope Ben Stokes, who smashed a record-breaking 182 in his last one-day international, remains sidelined as he recovers from a hip injury which kept him out of England's first two games. «Ben seems to be getting better day on day.
