One most of the Indians fans expected to come to England had not anticipated a last minute change in the semi-final line ups. They expected India to play England on July 11 in Birmingham and they booked their flights and hotels accordingly. The other reason is that many Indian fans who live in London thought they had very little chance of getting a ticket. And they all stayed away from taking the five-hour road journey from London to Manchester. Whatever may be the reason the fans who came ready to buy tickets at expensive rates weren’t complaining one bit. In fact, they spread the word fast to all their friends and relatives that tickets were available at throwaway prices. India’s possible chase scenario In case New Zealand doesn’t bat again, India’s target to win would be In 46 overs will be 237 runs; In 40 overs will be 223; In 35 overs will be 209; In 30 overs will be 192; In 25 overs will be 172; And in 20 overs will be 148. If a 20 overs per side match cannot be completed on Wednesday as well, India would go through to the final on the basis of having finished first to NZ’s fourth in the 10-team group stage.

  • GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 a Friend Was Determined To
    GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 A friend was determined to watch the London Olympics. He saved for a year to be there and savour the mother of all spor�ng ac�ons, the Olympics. We all know the ac�on and the layered drama that sports produce but he speaks about a completely different aspect about those Olympics. A�er having spent more than 20 years of his life watching cricket in India, he swears by the organisa�onal ability of England to host an event of that magnitude. He claims that even in these �mes of terror a�acks and hyper-security measures, London never seemed ruffled. It was always polite and seemingly laidback. My buddy is now off to the UK again to watch the Cricket World Cup. Since the Summer Olympics of 2012, a school in Peshawar has been a�acked, so has the Manchester Arena and lately even a mosque in New Zealand. It is clear. The perpetrators want to widen their strike zones to increase the fear. Hence as I write this preview to this mega cricke�ng event, I want to share that safety of all concerned is paramount for me. Afghanistan, the babies of the cricke�ng world, would know what I mean. For them, cricket provides iden�ty, it gives them a purpose and above all it gives them pride. They will certainly not win this one but their mere presence gives hope to our region. I will be checking their progress very closely. I am not sure if Madame Tussauds, London has a statue of ViratKohli.

The 16 teams have announced their squads, and warm-up games will provide a chance for teams to trial different line-ups. On Friday, South Africa and England will face each other in the first of two Twenty20 International fixtures. So who should the selectors pick? A new study published in the Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation has provided an optimal team ordering algorithm consisting of three components: team selection, batting order and overs bowled. The research shows that an optimal Twenty20 line-up sometimes calls for non-traditional roles from players. Below are the optimal line-ups for England and South Africa as given by the researchers’ algorithm, formulated after publication of the original research.
