At Colombo

March 01, 2011, 14:30 IST (09:00 GMT)

COLOMBO, March 1 – Sri Lanka is scheduled to take on Kenya today. It’s an important encounter for Sri Lanka after their loss against Pakistan on Feb. 26. Sri Lanka has to regain their confidence before another big match against defending champion Australia on March 5.

On the other hand; the Kenyan team reached the semifinal of the World Cup 2003 and won a lot of respect. But in 2011 edition after losing first two encounters in an uncomfortable way the Kenyan team has lost all of the respect. They have been bowled out for 69 and 122 to New Zealand and Pakistan respectively and are fast turning out to be an embarrassment to the tournament.

They have to fight back strongly to earn some respect among their fans and cricketing nations.

 NEW DELHI – West Indies thrashed Netherlands by huge margin of 215 in Group ‘B’ match here on Monday (Feb. 28) at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi.

Devon Smith fell on 53 while Chris Gayle (80) kept on punishing Dutch bowlers. First five batsmen contributed with good scores to help West Indies past 300 marks. Kieron Pollard proved to be the maser blaster of West Indies innings smashing 60 runs off just 24 balls. Pieter Seelaar was the most successful bowler from Netherlands picking up 3 wickets; while Muassar Bukhari claimed two.

Later on Kemar Roach tore away the Dutch batting line up with his six wickets haul including a hat-trick. He picked up last three wickets of Pieter Seelaar, Bernard Loots and Berend Westdijk in first three balls of his 9^th over. Sulieman Benn also claimed three wickets. The only resistance came from Tom Cooper (55*) of Netherlands while only four batsmen touched the double figure.

Except South Africa and Ireland each team of Group ‘B’ have played two matches each and India is leading the table followed by England. West Indies climbed up to third position in Group ‘B’ with this big victory while Netherlands slipped to seventh.

Tim Bresnan Scolded While England Team Fined for Slow Over-rate in Thrilling Tie Against India

BANGALORE, India – International Cricket Council (ICC) has scolded England pacer Tim Bresnan for smashing the stumps with his bat after getting out to Piyush Chawla at the last moments of the Sunday’s dramatic World Cup tie against India.   

Moreover, England team have been fined for a slow over-rate in the breathtaking tie at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

Tim Bresnan received the minimum penalty; he could have been fined up to 50 percent of his match fee, because he reacted apparently in frustration with himself.

The England team were fined for a slow over-rate, deemed to be one over short of their target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.

England skipper Andrew Strauss, who made a career-best 158, was fined 20 percent of his fee while his players received 10 percent fines.

India v England - Feb. 27: Today's Match Summary and Group 'B' Team Standings

 Bangalore – A nail biter ended in a draw. A see-saw game at last ended as a historical tie between India and England.

It was all going well more than England ever expected until Zaheer Khan picked up two set batsmen on the crease in 43^rd over. His first prey was Ian Bell who was brilliantly caught by Virat Kohli and then on the very next ball he picked up England skipper Andrew Strauss plum in front of Stumps. Andrew Strauss innings of 158 runs off 145 balls was the core of the England innings and superbly accompanied by Ian Bell who scored 69 off 71 balls. After 43^rd over by Zaheer Khan the remaining target became a mighty challenge for the rest of the batsmen.

Paul Collingwood (1) fell cheaply to Zaheer Khan’s next over while Matt Prior (4) caught by Suresh Raina trying to it the maximum on the bowling of Harbhajan Singh. Michael Yardy (13), Tim Bresnan (14) and Graeme Swann (15) played little cameo to vitalize the hope to win the thriller. In the last over 14 runs were required to win and Graeme Swann had to face Munaf Patel who scored 3 runs on first two balls and Ajmal Shahzad came to face his first ball with 11 runs in last four balls to win. Shahzad hit a brilliant six on the third ball of the over. Crowd stood still with this might shot. Target reduced to 5 runs on 3 balls. Next ball went to Dhoni but English couple ran for a single and survived Dhoni’s throw. Fourth ball of the over fetched double for Graeme Swann and then a single on the last ball. What a match!  

Earlier, India won the toss and elected to bat first. Indian batsmen completely dominated English bowlers led by little master Sachin Tendulkar who completed his 5^th century of the world cups in the process. Tendulkar got out after a brilliant 120 runs with a supportive innings from Gautam Gambhir (51)Yuvrag Singh (58).

A target of 339 was too big for England but they reacted strongly and managed to tie the match. It was a fourth tie in the world cup history. Andrew Strauss named man of the match for his outstanding innings of 158 runs.
