ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Is Dhoni's past it. He's struggling to get bat to ball. And he's not the Dhoni of old.

ENGLAND WIN BY 31 RUNS!!!!!!!

Good performance by a lot of the England team. Some decent batting, quality bowling and excellent fielding (except from the dropped sitter by Root)

So now it all hinges on that NZ game whether we go through or go out?

Not entirely on that game, though if England win they go through no matter what happens in other games. If England lose it depends on what Pakistan and Bangladesh do in their remaining games.

If Pakistan win their remaining game vs. Bangladesh they'll finish on 11 points.
If Bangladesh win their remaining two games vs. India and Pakistan they will reach 11 points.
England beat New Zealand and they reach 12 points and can't be caught. England could lose against NZ and still go through if other results go their way.

Weather seems set fair for the week so points are unlikely to be gained or dropped due to abandoned games.

Today, Sri Lanka take on the West Indies at Durham

But you would still agree it would still be a must win game for England i some ways.

West Indies won the toss and elected to field

Oh yes. Definitely. Don't want to rely on others. Win and in.

Sri Lanka have made 338/6 today. It's their highest innings total by far in the tournament, but it's come in a dead rubber.
