Ja. Irishers coming back well. Burl holes out as I type this.

Second ball of the innings wickets in both innings!

Shaping up to be a good World Cup for Africa. Hope the Proteas keep it up.

Jeez! How tall is Muzarabani! 2.03m Wikipedia says.

Ire 28/4 game over

64/5

Raza having some game, wicket with his second ball!

92/6
102/7
102/8
111/9

So how much of this is Zimbabwe being good and how much Ireland being poor?

It's mik en moer cricket. Any team can lose on the day.

The Zim quicks look quite good. Aus bouncing wickets will fit all Africans.

Decent warmup for England v Pakistan. Chased 160 in under 15 overs for the loss of 4 wickets. Spinners seem to have done a good job - Livingston 1-8 off 2 overs, Ali and Rashid both 0-14 off 2. Wood, Curran, Jordan all miserly. 2 wickets for Willey too.

Salt and Hales with no scores, Stokes with 36 off 18, Livingston 28 off 16, Brook 45no off 24 and Curran 33no off 14. That'll do.

England and SA favorites?

Probably with India around there somewhere as well?

Hat-trick!!

SL shitting the bed now, 4 wickets gone in 7 balls.

152/8 - UAE have given themselves a chance here

UAE now 19-3

Dutch beat Namibia earlier, much in the same fashion as against the UAE - tight, controlled bowling and a low target, cruising with the top order, a total collapse and then the one remaining to order batsman guiding them home in the last over.

If SL take a big win against UAE as now seems likely, the NL v SL game is a virtual knock out, assuming Namibia take the win against UAE (which is a big assumption tbf).

Looks like they needed to restrict SL to 50 to give themselves a chance.

Great to go into a cricket world cup with no hope and expectation.

Couple of big games tomorrow, with Ireland & the Windies both needing wins to stay in the hunt.

Scots put up a good score

The format is weird. When do the Proteas lose their first match?

The current lot have to qualify (2 teams per pool)to play the top 8 teams. Our WC starts monday

This pair doing well, and have completely turned the game around. Scots need a wicket badly now.

Shite. Game was there for the taking for Scotland and we've fucked it.

Some utter shite bowled in this last ten overs.

What a start to Zim's chase!

Proper T20 - boundary or wicket, none of that nurdling stuff.

Sikandar Raza will have to do it again for Zimbabwe although he still has Madhevere for company for now.

Hi.

We're Scotland. I assume you've never seen us play international sport before.

I was hoping the Windies would lose, so they won't be too interested in the game against Ireland, but it looks like this group will go down to the wire

Madhevere and Raza both out and can't see Zimbabwe doing an Ireland from here. Probably all four teams tied in the group after this, quite exciting.

Namibia 70/7 after 13 chasing UAE's 148/3

not bye just yet, need 31 from 16

So won't progress in Group A, Netherlands and Sri Lanka go through.

David Wiese on a roll

20 from 12 - Namibia favourites again.

15 from 9

10 from 2 but Wiese gone. Oh no!!!

Very good bowling from UAE in last two overs.

Veldskoen!

UAE have clinched their first ever win in an ICC World Cup tournament! Namibia fall short of the Super 12s. Netherlands are joining Sri Lanka in the Super 12s!
