CWC 2015 LIVE - Rubel Double Blow Seals It For Bangladesh vs England

#England vs #Bangladesh,

What a phenomenal game! Probably game of the tournament (although the NZ v Aus game comes very close). 

After 98 overs, we didn't have answer to our question WHO WILL BLINK FIRST?
England answered it by blinking against #RubelHossain who castled both #StuartBroad and #JamesAnderson with peach deliveries to deliver a famous win for Bangladesh at the #AdelaideOval. #ChrisWoakes, the star batsman and looking extremely well placed to sail England through, was stranded at the other end for a superb 42* (in vain though)

#LIVE #SCORE
Bangladesh: 275 for 7
England: 260 all out
Bangladesh win by 15 runs.

Man of the Match: #Mahmudullah

With both sides needing to win this game to keep their hopes alive in the tournament, the battle went down to the wire. The tug of war continued until the very end but the Bangladeshis held their nerve and a Rubel Hossain special sealed their win in style.

With this win, #Bangladesh have qualified for the quarter final stages of #CWC15. Currently in third position, they should end up 4th since Sri Lanka's last game against Scotland should see them seated in third spot.

Current Pool A Standings
New Zealand - 10 points (5 matches)
Australia - 7 points (5 matches)
Bangladesh - 7 points (6 matches)
Sri Lanka - 6 points (5 matches)

Extraordinary scenes here at #AdelaideOval as Bangla fans go berserk in their celebrations.
But, do spare a thought for #England, especially Buttler and Woakes who really challenged that total from a hopeless position.

CWC 2015 LIVE - Drama At Adelaide Oval - 2 Wickets In 2 Balls

#Eng v #Ban

Drama, tension, nail biting stuff this ...

Just when Buttler and Woakes were about to explode and finish off the game, Bangladesh have struck. #TaskinAhmed induced an edge off #JosButtler to deal a huge blow to England.

The following delivery was even more dramatic.
#ChrisJordan set off for a run, was sent back by Woakes and found short of his ground by a direct hit. Replays werent very conculsive but the third umpire gave it out.

From 238 for 6, Eng were 238 for 8

#StuartBroad walks in a huge pressure situation.
The scenes at Adelaide are dramatic.

#LIVE #Score
Eng 246 for 8 (47.1 overs)

#TaskinAhmed the bowler ...

The question throughout the day has been WHO WILL BLINK FIRST?
We are in the 98th over of the match and dont have an answer yet .... thats drama for you!

CWC 2015 LIVE - Buttler Blitz Ignites Chances Of Win v Ban

#Eng v #Ban, #Adelaide

#JosButtler is blitzing his way towards the target of 276 needed to win this game for England vs Bangladesh. In a precarious position at 163 for 6, #ChrisWoakes joined him and they have taken the fight to the opposition camp.

He is using all his orthodox and unorthodox techniques to bludgeon boundaries and runs all over the Adelaide Oval and sent shock waves in the Bangla team.

Just goes to show, the match ain't over until the last bowl is bowled or wicket taken. Bangladesh seemed to have started their victory celebrations prematurely and are caught off-guard. They need to regroup.

#LIVE #SCORE
Eng: 229 for 6 (45 overs)
Buttler - 63*
Woakes - 25*

What atmosphere at the Adelaide Oval!! Wonderful scenes as we uncover an edge-of-the-seat thriller!

CWC 2015 LIVE - Mahmadullah Pushes Bangladesh To 275 vs England

#Bangladesh v #England
9th Mar 2015

#Mahmadullah's rear guard #ton put Bangladesh in a fighting position against England in their do-or-die encounter at the #AdelaideOval. At the end of their stipulated 50 overs, they scored 275 for 7 to set up a mouth watering run chase under the beautifully lit Adelaide ground.

In the process, he went on to become the first Bangla batsman to score a #CWC century. He was brilliantly supported by #MushfiqurRahim (89). The two came together with the team in a big spot of bother, wobbling at 99 for 4 in the 21st over.

From then on, both of them took charge, steadied the innings before cutting lose. Given their form, the partnership was broken in the only way possible, a #runout. #ChrisWoakes accounting Mahmadullah with a direct hit for 103.

Game ON for England batsmen.
Their openers are IN.
We've already have a review situation where #MooenAli reviewed a OUT decision against him, lbw to #RobelHussain. Replays showed he was NOT OUT and decision was overturned. He was run out shortly after for 19.

#LIVE #Cricket #Score
Bangladesh: 275 for 7, 50 overs
England: 64 for 1, 13 overs)
#IanBell - 29*

CWC 2015 LIVE - Knockout Time For England And Bangladesh

#Eng v #Ban,, #AdelaideOval

#Knockouts have arrived earlier than expected for Bangladesh and England in the league stage.
In the decider game today (for the 4th team to go through to quarter finals from Pool A), both teams need to be on top of their game to make the cut.

England have won the toss and elected to field first.
The English seamers (#JamesAnderson and #StuartBroad) vindicated that decision by bowling great lines upfront. Jimmy Anderson picked up two early wickets as well. He first had #ImrulKeyes edge to third slip and followed up with a beauty to #TamimIqbal, edged to first slip. 

At 9 for 2, Bangladesh were wobbling but #SowmyaSarkar and #Mahmadullah have steadied things since. They are now getting a move on with some crisp strokeplay pushing the England bowlers back.

#LIVE #Score
Bangladesh: 78 for 2, 17 overs (Drinks break)
Sarkar - 29*
Mahmadullah - 41*

Game on at the Adelaide Oval.
Who will blink first?

CWC 2015 LIVE - Australia Overcome Spirited Sri Lanka

#Aus v #SriLanka, #SCG

In a fantastic run chase spearheaded by a record breaking #KumarSangakarra century and cameos from #Dilshan, #Chandimal and #Mathews kept them in that chase for a long time. But the run pressure was too high and they fell short by 64 runs.

For Australia, it was #MitchelStarc once again to their rescue with a lion hearted bowling performance. He was supported well by #JamesFaulkner with his speed changes to keep things tight.

Overall, a tight game for both teams to learn from before they head into the quarterfinals. Looks like SL will take on South Africa in that quarter final. Australia may face Pak or WI or Ireland (i.e 3rd placed team in Pool B)

#LIVE #SCORE
Aus: 376 for 8
Maxwell - 102, Watson - 67, Clarke - 68, Smith - 72
Malinga and Perera - 2 wickets each

SL: 312 for 9 (Dinesh Chandimal - retired hurt)
Sangakarra - 104, Dilshan - 62, Chandimal - 52*, Mathews - 35
Faulkner - 3 wickets, Starc and Johnson - 2 wickets each

Man of the Match: #GlennMaxwell
