Good comeback from the Windies bowlers, although Zimbabwe did slightly throw the match away. Both groups still to be sorted out.

How many years are we from a 16 team, 4 groups of 4 competition working well? Genuinely think every team in Group B is solid enough to challenge the top teams on a good day and only get embarrassingly thumped on a bad day (besides, South Africa beat England by 90 runs in July, it happens to all teams). Group A feels a lot weaker, but we're getting there!

Never mind years, we're decades away from India having a reasonable chance of being knocked out before the semis again.

Namibia fall short by seven runs against UAE, Netherlands through to the next stage.

This tournament has been loads of fun.
The quality is there for a 16 team tournament, but it won't happen whilst maximising India games is the only priority.
I'd almost be fine with allowing India B to be in one of the other groups if it allowed the format to happen!

Not sure Nicholas Pooran's media trained 'lots of positives to take' interview is going to go down especially well.

It is downright tragic to see such great cricket mouthpieces as Alan Gardner forced to talk about 'Crictos digital collectible moments'. NFTs really do sully everything they touch.

NX whacking Aus all over the SCG is fun.

Can't wait to see Australia somehow thump them in the final again.

Can't wait to see Australia somehow thump them in the final again. Or alternatively England could knock them out on Friday if results go the right way.

Well I'm sure that run out decision will be uncontroversial and accepted by all.
EDIT: Same with the no ball.

What a game though. Not sure I can remember one more dramatic.
