New Zealand continues their charge through the field knocking out Bangladesh. They really creamed them, it was sad for Bangladesh. NZ put up 145, which isn't a huge number but proved to be WAY to big for Bangladesh. Although kudos to Mustafizur Rahman for a 5 wicket haul. Bangladesh just could not get past NZ's bowling. It's like they never came back after tea time. Catherine, did you see them at Patisserie Valerie? I think they might still be there. They went all out after 15.4 overs and only managed to get 70 measly runs. 3 wickets each to Elliot and Sodhi.
In the second match England edged out Sri Lanka. Which puts England through to the semis. Well done England. England opened the game and only dropped 4 wickets. Half century for Buttler and a total of 171 to chase. As good as that opening inning was, it wasn't a slaughter. Sri Lanka fought back and got close, very close. The opening batsmen for Sri Lanka dropped pretty quick but their middle order held ground. Angelo Matthews took 73 runs to the bank but at the end of 20 overs they were 10 runs shy. 4 wickets to Chris Jordan.
I am closing in on Catherine, I have her in my sites.........Anna took a dive, Bob made a surge, and Missy just keeps asking, why?? why??
Tomorrow Afghanistan will try not to embarrass themselves in front of the West Indies while India and Australia will battle it out for a semi final spot.

I need to stop hanging out with Bangladesh at Patisserie Valerie and work on my team. Are you all finding it as difficult as I am to make the choices? To Chris Gayle or not to Chris Gayle? That is the question.
ReplyDeleteIt's really not difficult, Cath. It's just a matter of eeny meeny miny mo. See how well I do with that strategy?
ReplyDeleteDon't pick Chris Gayle. I had him and my team stinks.
ReplyDeleteNow you tell me, Missy.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Katy!! But the contest is not over yet. Why did I put Chris Gayle in?? The Aus/ India match was so exciting and Kohli was a hero.
ReplyDeleteWell, how sad that the Afghans could defeat the Oz but the South Africans couldn't! Eish. But, hey, I picked Kohli. Who knows? I may just beat you all!
ReplyDeleteI meant, the Afghans beat the West Indies, but South Africa couldn't. I am on top of this game. Promise.
ReplyDeleteWe know what you mean. Sad yes. So everyone must shout for England now. They have done well so far.
