World Cup 2019  

Pakistan still have to play two more league matches, against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. If they win both the games and other results go in their favour, then the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side could make the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2019

After India captain Virat Kohli had won the toss and elected to bat, India were jolted early as Rohit was given out by the third umpire when the Windies skipper Jason Holder decided to review an on-field ‘not out’ decision

India are currently on 123 points, one point ahead of England after the hosts lost to Australia on Tuesday to surrender the top position to India. However, if India lose to the West Indies, they will slip one point behind England to 121 points

London: Left is right at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. Left-handed cricketers are ruling the 10-team tournament. Here is a look at all the left-handers who are calling the shots at the ICC showpiece event. The two biggest stars so far are Australian duo of David Warner and Mitchell Starc, who have topped the batting and bowling charts respectively. All statistics as on June 26, after the end of Pakistan-New Zealand match in Birmingham.

The number one player in the list is India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar who scored 523 runs at the age of 22 in the 1996 World Cup. In that edition, India reached the semi-final where they lost to eventual champions Sri Lanka. Can Babar Azam break Tendulkar's World Cup record?

And with Babar already ranked as the No. 1 T20 batsman in the world, batting coach Grant Flower is confident his charge has what it takes to now kick on and join the pantheon of Pakistan greats - most notably because of the way he battled sickness to shine in Birmingham

So far in the ongoing tournament, Pakistan have played seven matches and the pattern of results are similar to that of the 1992 edition. Although Pakistan are not still assured of a berth in the semi-finals, fans are hoping the current pattern culminates in World Cup glory just like 36 years ago

Opening batsman Chris Gayle on Wednesday (June 26) declared himself as one of the West Indies greats and said he will come out of ODI retirement to play the home series against India. On the eve of the India-West Indies World Cup 2019 match in Manchester, Gayle said he will continue to play after the ICC showpiece event. Earlier, he had announced ODI retirement in February. Gayle also spoke about West Indies cricket’s future and the youngsters who are likely to make a big impact.

Manchester: Unbeaten India take on West Indies in a league match of the ICC World Cup 2019 on Thursday (June 27). A win for the Virat Kohli-led side will almost confirm a semi-final spot. Windies on the other hand will find it difficult to make the last-four stage even if they manage to beat India. Andre Russell is ruled out of the entire tournament with an injury and Sunil Ambris has replaced him. India start as favourites. Here is India’s likely Playing 11.

With this win, Pakistan have now moved up to number six in the table with seven points from as many games. They now need to win their last two games against Afghanistan (June 29) and Bangladesh (July 5) to hope for semi-final qualification at the ICC World Cup 2019

'I think Virat Kohli is probably the number one batsman across all formats. So I think to compare anybody to the way he plays is not right,' Bharat Arun said ahead of India's World Cup 2019 match against West Indies

'Bhuvneshwar's injury is not of any great concern. It is just a niggle, which we didn't want to take a chance. And it was also an opportunity for us to plug Shami into the games. But the fact he's done exceptionally well all goes well for us; it's an embarrassment of riches,' said Bharat Arun ahead of India-West Indies match at the ICC World Cup 2019

'To be very honest we are not even aware of what colours we're going to be wearing. So we have not given any thought to that. And all our focus is on the match tomorrow,' India's bowling coach Bharat Arun told reporters on the eve of the World Cup 2019 match against the West Indies in Manchester

'In terms of the squad, I think everybody's upbeat for the occasion. Playing India is always a big game for West Indies, and we're looking forward to it. First we need to finish the campaign as best as we can. And our objective is to win all three games,' said Jason Holder before the India-West Indies game at the ICC World Cup 2019

At the ICC World Cup 2019, Chris Gayle was asked about the future of West Indies cricket and he gave his views. He chose three youngsters who could have a big impact on the team
