This match saw Glenn McGrath overcome Wasim Akrams record of maximum number of wickets in the World Cup. With this match McGrath claimed 57 wickets where previous best was 55 wickets held by Wasim Akram. Bangladesh looked all but inspiring in this match. The aimless batting order crumbled, as none of the players were able to stay on the crease for a long time. With this win Australia continued its successful win record in the World Cups.
Coming into chase the paltry score of 104 runs, Australian opener Adam Gilchrist hammered a swashbuckling fifty. His fifty came in 40 balls. This was his 50th one day international fifty. The other opener Matthew Hayden, who is in great form, provided some fireworks from the other side. The pace of the runs flurry was evident as Australia went past the score of 50 runs in less than 6 overs. Australians eventually won the match with more than 8 overs to spare and 10 wickets in hand. Reported Earlier: Australian captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The game was reduced to 22 overs following overnight rain.
Australia have swept aside their four opponents in the tournament so far and look set to add momentum to their bid for an unprecedented title hat-trick against a side ranked ninth in the one-day international rankings. Australia team: A Gilchrist (Wicket Keeper), M Hayden, R Ponting (c), M Clarke, A Symonds, M Hussey, S Watson, B Hogg, N Bracken, S Tait, G McGrath
Bangladesh team: T Iqbal, S Nafees, M Rahim (Wicket Keeper), A Ahmed, S Hasan, H Bashar (c), M Ashraful, M Rafique, M Mortaza, A Razzak, S Rasel

Australias Glenn McGrath is highest wicket-taker in world cup history

Veteran Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath on Saturday overtook Pakistan great Wasim Akram as the highest wicket-taker in World Cup history.
McGrath, who started the Super Eight match against Bangladesh on 54 wickets at Antigua, one shy of equaling Akrams feat of 55, picked two of the first three Bangladeshi wickets to have fallen to sneak ahead of the Pakistani left armer. McGrath picked the wicket of Shahriar Nafees and Aftab Ahmed to raise his World Cup tally to 56 from 33 matches. The Aussie great needed three matches fewer than Akram to reach the record tally.

Super 8, Match 5, AUS vs BAN: Bangladesh make super eight debut against Australia

Defending champions Australia will look to extend their 4-match winning streak in the World Cup against Bangladesh in their second Super 8 encounter in Antigua on Saturday.
Australia have already beaten West Indies by 103 runs in their first Super Eight tie while Bangladesh make their first appearance in the second stage of the World Cup. Veteran Australian seamer Glenn McGrath goes into the game just one wicket short of Pakistan paceman Wasim Akram's World Cup record of 55 wickets.

Australia team (from): Adam Gilchrist (Wicket Keeper), Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting (Captain), Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Shane Watson, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath.

Super 8, Match 4, ENG vs IRL: England Beat Ireland in a lacklustre win

Another significant middle-order innings from Paul Collingwood and Andrew Flintoff's best all-round performance of this Cricket World Cup helped England start its Super 8s campaign with a 48-run win over Ireland on Friday. Collingwood's 90 runs from 82 balls and Flintoff's 43 lifted England to 266 for seven after a subdued start. Flintoff returned to take four wickets as Ireland was bowled out for 218 in the 49th over. Ireland started as if it only had everything to gain. Paceman Boyd Rankin bowled former teammate Ed Joyce with his first ball for one and removed Michael Vaughan for six to have England in trouble at 23-2.
Collingwood belted three sixes and eight boundaries in his second half century of the tournament before he was run out in the last over. Ireland's reply never gathered momentum after losing wickets with the total at six and 11 despite a defiant 63 from Niall O'Brien and a 61-run third-wicket stand he shared with opener William Porterfield (31). In the morning English captain Michael Vaughan won the toss and elected to bat against Ireland in Georgetown. World Cup debutantes Ireland tied with Zimbabwe in the group stage before producing a stunning three-wicket win over Pakistan which effectively sent the sub-continent side home. England team: M P Vaughan, E C Joyce, I R Bell, K P Pietersen, P D Collingwood, A Flintoff, R Bopara, P A Nixon, S I Mahmood, J M Anderson, M S Panesar
Ireland team: J P Bray, W T S Porterfield, E J G Morgan, N J O'Brien, K J O'Brien, A C Botha, D T Johnston, W K McCallan, A R White, D Langford-Smith, W B Rankin

Super 8, Match 4, ENG vs IRL: England wary of debutants Ireland in Super 8

England are wary of giant-killers and debutants Ireland as the two meet in the first Super Eight game of the World Cup in Guyana on Friday.
Ireland have already made a significant impact in the World Cup by knocking out former champions Pakistan from the group stage and England know they need to improve on the form they showed in beating Canada and Kenya. All-rounder Andrew Flintoff is expected to play for England on the morrow after suffering a stomach upset earlier this week.
Ireland should be boosted by the return of captain Trent Johnston following a shoulder injury. Ireland were certainly not disgraced when the two sides met in Belfast last summer, replying to England's total of 301-7 with 263-9 in a 38-run defeat. England team (from): M Vaughan (Captain), J Anderson, I Bell, R Bopara, P Collingwood, J Dalrymple, A Flintoff, E Joyce, J Lewis, S Mahmood, P Nixon, M Panesar, K Pietersen, L Plunkett, A Strauss.
Ireland team (from): T Johnston (Captain), A Botha, J Bray, K Carroll, P Gillespie, D Langford-Smith, K McCallan, J Mooney, P Mooney, E Morgan, K O'Brien, N O'Brien, W Porterfield, B Rankin, A White.

Super 8, Match 3, WI vs NZ: New Zealand beat West Indies by 7 wickets

New Zealand defeated West Indies by 7 wickets in a match that looked one sided right from the start. Scott Styris and Craig McMillan completed the proceedings for New Zealand. Styris made a credible 80 runs from 90 balls and McMillan made 33 runs from 57 balls.
Middle order batsman Scott Styris continued his top form and made another prolific half century. Styris 18th ODI fifty came in 72 balls. This was also his third fifty in this edition of the World Cup Reported Earlier: New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming won the toss and asked West Indies to bat in their World Cup Super Eights match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Thursday.
New Zealand selected Hamish Marshall, who has flown to the Caribbean as a replacement for injured opener Lou Vincent. Marshall will bat at number three with Peter Fulton moving to opener for the second stage game. Strike bowler Shane Bond, who was rested for the final group match against Canada, returned in place of Daryl Tuffey, who is also injured, and left-arm pace bowler James Franklin replaced off-spinner Jeetan Patel. West Indies team: Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Brian Lara (Captain), Dwayne Bravo, Dwayne Smith, Denesh Ramdin, Lendl Simmons, Daren Powell, Corey Collymore.

Super 8, Match 3 Antigua & Barbuda: New Zealand 179 for 3 (39.2 overs) beat West Indies 177 all out (44.4 overs) by 7 wickets

Four in a row for Lasith Malinga

Malinga took four wickets in successive balls towards the end of the Sri Lanka South Africa game at Guyana. His world record spell gave Sri Lanka hope of a stunning win before Robin Peterson hit the winning runs in the 49th over.
Malinga (2-49) yorked Pollock (13) and had Hall caught at cover in successive balls at the end of his eighth over, and returned to clean up Kallis for his hat-trick and then Ntini next ball. It was the first time in World Cup history a player had taken four wickets in four balls and all of a sudden the impossible seemed possible.
The paceman with the low-slung round-arm action, bleach-blond hair and eyebrow ring is the first bowler in one-day history to grab four wickets off successive balls. Other hat-trick bowlers in the World Cup were India paceman Chetan Sharma (v New Zealand in 1987), Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq (v Zimbabwe in 1999), Sri Lanka paceman Chaminda Vaas (v Bangladesh in 2003) and Australia fast bowler Brett Lee (v Kenya in 2003)
Malinga was rated the fastest bowler at home when he made his one-day and Test debuts in 2004, but lacked consistency. He kept learning and improving with every match to eventually become a strike bowler. He played a big role in his team's 5-0 one-day series victory in England, grabbing 13 wickets in five matches. He also impressed in the Champions Trophy in India in 2006 with his pace and control Malinga has so far captured 50 wickets in 32 one-dayers.

Super 8, Match 2, SA vs SL: South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 1 wicket

South Africa clinched a nail biter on Wednesday as they claimed victory by just one wicket. On their way to win the match convincingly, Proteas stumbled dramatically while nearing the end of innings. South Africas batting line was in turmoil as Lasith Malinga re-ignited hopes for Sri Lankas revival by picking up four wickets in a row.
By doing this he claimed his first World Cup hat-trick and became the fifth one to do so in a World Cup match. South Africa lost four of its batsmen within ten runs of achieving the target. Last man to go was Makhaya Ntini who was clean bowled by Lasith Malinga. Ntini departed on naught. Shaun Pollock fell the hapless victim of Malinga as he too was clean bowled by the latter. He made 13 runs. Reported Earlier: South Africa produced a clinical bowling performance to restrict Sri Lanka to a modest 209 in the World Cup Super Eight cricket match here today. The free-stroking Sri Lankan batsmen struggled to get going on a damp wicket at the newly built Province Stadium before a record partnership between Tillekaratne Dilshan and Russel Arnold propped up the innings.
Dilshan and Arnold put on 97 runs for the sixth wicket which gave the Sri Lankans a target to defend which seemed unlikely after they were reduced to 98-5 in the 25th over. Dilshan made an uncharacteristically subdued 58 and Arnold played a similarly risk-free knock of 50.
The duo seemed to have pulled their side out of trouble and were preparing for a late assault when a lower order collapse cut the innings short with three balls to spare. Charl Langeveldt was the most successful among South African bowlers with 5-39 while Makhaya Ntini was also impeccable to return with figures of 2-26. Reported Earlier: Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in the second match of Super Eights in Georgetown. South Africa and Sri Lanka will be entering new territory when they meet at the Guyana National Stadium.
The match Wednesday is the first of any consequence to be played at a new stadium, outside the capital Georgetown, where workers are still battling to get everything ready. Rain prevented both teams from practising Monday and the pitch remained under cover, so the players could not make any assessment of it. South Africa team: G C Smith, A B de Villiers, J H Kallis, H H Gibbs, J M Kemp, M V Boucher, S M Pollock, A J Hall, R J Peterson, M Ntini, C K Langeveldt
Sri Lanka team: W U Tharanga, S T Jayasuriya, K C Sangakkara, D P M D Jayawardene, L P C Silva, R P Arnold, T M Dilshan, M F Maharoof, W P U J C Vaas, S L Malinga, M Muralitharan

Super 8, Match 2, SA vs SL: Cricket pitch mystery for South Africa and Sri Lanka

South Africa and Sri Lanka will be entering new territory when they meet in a World Cup Super Eight match at the Guyana National Stadium. The match Wednesday is the first of any consequence to be played at a new stadium, outside the capital Georgetown, where workers are still battling to get everything ready.
Rain prevented both teams from practising Monday and the pitch remained under cover, so the players could not make any assessment of it. South African coach Mickey Arthur said he hoped the pitch would have more pace and bounce than Guyana's old international ground, the Bourda in Georgetown, which was notoriously low and slow. South Africa team (from): G Smith (Captain), J Kallis, L Bosman, M Boucher, AB de Villiers, H Gibbs, A Hall, J Kemp, C Langeveldt, A Nel, M Ntini, R Peterson, S Pollock, A Prince, R Telemachus.
Sri Lanka team (from): M Jayawardene (Captain), K Sangakkara, S Jayasuriya, U Tharanga, M Atapattu, T Dilshan, R Arnold, C Silva, C Vaas, F Maharoof, L Malinga, D Fernando, N Kulasekara, M Muralitharan, M Bandara.

Super 8, Match 1, AUS vs WI: Australia beat West Indies by 103 runs

Veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrath and leg-spinner Brad Hogg, who picked three wickets each, returned to haunt the West Indies, as Australia routed the hosts by 103 runs to emerge the first Super Eight team to taste victory in the World Cup at Antigua in a rain-extended tie.
Australia, who on Tuesday, had squeezed out 322 runs off the Windies bowling attack leaked only 219 when they came on to bowl the next day after rain had abandoned play yesterday afternoon. Matthew Haydens 158 had lit up the newly-built Sir Vivian Richards stadium after Australia had been asked to bat first. Reported Earlier: Rain has played spoilsport in the first super eight clash between the host West Indies and the world champions Australia. Match will now resume on the scheduled reserve day with West Indies needing to score 323 runs to win from 50 overs. Reported Earlier: World champions Australia rode on a rollicking hundred from their strongly-built opener Matthew Hayden to reach 322-6 in 50 overs in the first Super Eight fixture of the World Cup at the newly-built Sir Vivian Richards stadium at Antigua on Tuesday. Hayden was in magnificent touch today as he blazed his way through to 158 off 143 balls and single-handedly shaped Australias destiny in the contest after being asked to bat by Brian Lara. Australia team: A C Gilchrist, M L Hayden, R T Ponting, M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, S R Watson, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath
West Indies team: C H Gayle, S Chanderpaul, R R Sarwan, M N Samuels, B C Lara, D J Bravo, D Ramdin, D S Smith, J E Taylor, D B Powell, C D Collymore

Super 8, Match 1, AUS vs WI: Lara will be targeted by confident Australia

Australia will see Brian Lara as the main hurdle in their race towards an unprecedented third successive World Cup title when they meet West Indies in the first of the second-stage matches on Tuesday.
Australia's progress to the Super Eights of the tournament has so far been serene with comfortable victories in all of their Group A games including an eventually emphatic 83-run thumping of top ranked South Africa on Saturday. Lara's West Indies have possibly not shown quite the ruthless form of Ricky Ponting's men but they too arrive here with a 3-0 perfect record from Group D, their opening-day victory helping to knock out Pakistan. Lara, a thorn in the side of most teams during his illustrious career which has brought him high-scoring records in both test and first class cricket, will be the man the Australians fear most. Australia team (from): R Ponting (Captain), A Gilchrist, N Bracken, M Clarke, B Haddin, M Hayden, B Hodge, B Hogg, M Hussey, M Johnson, S Clark, G McGrath, A Symonds, S Tait, S Watson.
West Indies team (from): B Lara (Captain), I Bradshaw, D Bravo, S Chanderpaul, C Collymore, C Gayle, K Pollard, D Powell, D Ramdin, M Samuels, R Sarwan, L Simmons, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith, J Taylor.

Captain Rahul Dravid has taken responsibility for India's cricket World Cup failure but says resigning the captaincy was not an issue.

Group B, Match 6, BAN vs BER: Bangladesh beat Bermuda by 7 wickets

Bangladesh defeated Bermuda by seven wickets to march into the Super Eight stage of the 9th World Cup at Queens Park Oval, Trinidad on Sunday.
Requiring 96 to win in 21 overs, following a revised target on the D/L method, the Tigers made light work of the Bermuda total to seal a berth in the second round of the showpiece event, since making a Cup debut eight years ago. The match, which saw several rain-stoppages during the first innings, finally produced uninterrupted play during the second half, as Bangladesh finally reached their summit after enduring early hiccups.
In the meanwhile, Sri Lanka topped Group B with six points while Bangladesh finished second with four points. They will enter the Super Eight stage, which kicks-off from Tuesday. India and Bermuda are the teams knocked out of the group.

Group B, Match 6, BAN vs BER: Bangladesh needs to beat Bermuda to enter super eight

Bangladesh are all set to advance into the Super Eight stage of the World Cup, as all they need to do is beat Bermuda in the final Group match in Trinidad on Sunday.
Only a shock result on the morrow will prevent Bangladesh from progressing for the first time since making their World Cup debut eight years ago. Bangladesh beat heavyweights India in their first group match but flattered to deceive when they lost to Sri Lanka in the next match.
Bermuda has lost both matches and only David Hemp has scored a half-century. India lost to Sri Lanka by 69 runs on Friday to put Bangladesh in charge of their own destiny. Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar said: "Defeating Bermuda is all that we're thinking of right now, but we do realise that this will take us into the next round."
Bermuda, the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup, has had massive defeats in both matches. Sri Lanka outplayed them by 243 runs and India then defeated Bermuda by a limited-overs record margin of 257 runs. However, a defeat to Bermuda may mean curtains for Bangladesh, as India would then gain a back door entry. Hemp, who captains Glamorgan, is Bermuda's only professional player. Bangladesh team (from): Habibul Bashar (Captain), Shahriar Nafees, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza, Shahadat Hossain, Tapash Baisya, Syed Rasel, Rajin Saleh, Javed Omar.

Group A, Match 6, AUS vs SA: Australia clinch victory against South Africa

Australia won the match against South Africa by 83 runs in an impressive fashion. The mighty Australians seemed to be back in their full flow as wickets after wickets tumbled and South Africa was given no opportunity to make a come back in the match. Proteas looked unnerved and fumbled to the huge target of 378 runs.
South Africa attained the 200 run mark in 29.2 overs. They achieved it with an effort from Graeme Smith, AB de Villliers. Graeme Smith was retired hurt and was sent back to the pavilion. South Africa began their chase of 377 runs in style by smashing the Australian pace bowlers all over the park. The Proteas reached their hundred in the thirteenth over of their innings with AB de Villers doing the maximum scoring.
Earlier, World Cup's fastest ever hundred by Matthew Hayden and aggressive half-centuries by Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke propelled Australia to a massive 377 for six against South Africa in the Group 'A' encounter here today. Hayden led the Australian run-fest with a 68-ball 101 while Ponting (91) and Clarke (92) capitalised on the platform provided by the Queenslander to end the innings with a flourish at Warner Park. The Australian total was the third highest in World Cup matches, after India's 413-5 against Bermuda earlier in the tournament and Sri Lanka's 398-5 against Kenya in 1996. Australia team: A C Gilchrist, M L Hayden, R T Ponting, M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, S R Watson, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath
South Africa team: G C Smith, A B de Villiers, J H Kallis, H H Gibbs, A G Prince, J M Kemp, M V Boucher, S M Pollock, A J Hall, C K Langeveldt, M Ntini

Captain Steve Tikolo struck 76 before being bowled by Flintoff, back into the side after being dropped from the Canada win because of a drinking scandal. Kenyan captain, Steve Tikolo surprised everyone by electing to bat and the decision looked to have backfired when a James Anderson bowled opener Ravi Shah for 4 runs in the fifth over.
Chasing a target of 177 runs, England lost their first wicket in the form of Michael Vaughan for a mere 12 runs on the board. Obuya picked up a spectacular low catch and sent the English captain on his way back for 1. Ian Bell was the second man to go for England when he played a complacent stroke and was caught at mid-off for 16. Ed Joyce played the anchor innings for England but when he done in by Tikolos doosra for 75.

Group B, Match 5, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka beat India by 69 runs

The Indians failed to chase a target of 255 runs set by the Sri Lankans which practically knocks them off the charts for the remainder of the World Cup. When it was most required, the famed Indian batting line-up failed to deliver and the entire team was bundled away for 185 runs.

Group B, Match 5, IND vs SL: India-Sri Lanka critical match today

India faces Sri Lanka in a critical Group B match of the ICC World Cup at Port of Spain on Friday. They lost to Bangladesh, but registered a comprehensive victory over Bermuda while Sri Lanka has beaten both Bangladesh and Bermuda. Sri Lanka also has the best net run-rate of +4.594 in two matches.

Sri Lanka has four points, while India and Bangladesh have two points each.
A victory over Sri Lanka could ensure India a Super Eight berth since Bangladesh is way behind in the net run-rate. India, theoretically, will not be eliminated even if it goes down to Sri Lanka. If India fail to reach the Super Eights stage of the World Cup, analysts and businesses have already started to weigh up what the impact would be in the cricket-crazy nation. If India reach the Super Eights, 300 million viewers are expected to tune in for the matches. But if they go out, companies fear the numbers are likely to fall by 60 per cent.

Group D, Match 5, PAK vs ZIM: Pakistan earn consolation victory; Ireland through

Pakistan paid tribute to former coach Bob Woolmer with a 93-run victory over Zimbabwe under the Duckworth-Lewis method at a rainy Sabina Park. The win, which was largely down to Imran Nazir's ferocious 160, means Ireland qualify for the next phase. Pakistan were 349 all out, departing skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq hitting 37. Zimbabwe fell to 30-3 before a rain delay, after which they were asked to chase a revised total of 193 from 20 overs. They were dismissed for 99.

Group B, Match 4, SL vs BAN: Jayawardene wary of Tigers

Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene has urged his team-mates to show full respect to Bangladesh in today's World Cup clash in Port of Spain.
The Tigers claimed warm-up victories over New Zealand and Scotland and then caused a shock with a five-wicket victory over India. Sri Lanka, who opened with a 243-run win over tournament debutants Bermuda, have it all to do to stop Bangladesh winning a fourth match in a row and Jayawardene said: "They have been improving with every game and their win against India suggests that they must be taken seriously.
"We have seen what they are capable of doing and we have taken notice of their young players who are doing well." Jayawardene said it was important for Sri Lanka to win to remove the pressure when they play their final game against India on Friday. In Sri Lanka's favour is the fact Bangladesh have won just one of the 18 matches between the teams, and Bashar concedes his side will have to improve on their previous record against their opponents to progress.
