This WC Had Many Exciting Matches

This World Cup has had many exciting results. At least five matches were extremely interesting. One was the stunning victory of Ireland over England where the Irish killers chased down a mammoth 327 of English. It showed they had great character, immense courage and super strength. It’s never easy to chase a 300-plus score. It was one of the greatest wins in the history of ODIs. The second was the contest between India and England which resulted in a tie. It was an extremely thrilling and enchanting match. A memorable one. Both teams fought to their best potential showing extreme intensity and passion. The third was the South Africa-England tie which was a low-scoring affair. Both teams made low scores and still managed to deliver one of the most intense fights. Eng batted first and scored 172. SA who were 124/3 went all out for 165. It was a tremendous fightback by the British – another thriller match. Another exciting match was the India-SA tie. India did a great start scoring 142/0 in 20 overs and then 267/1 in 40 overs thanks to big innings by Tendulkar and Sehwag, but went down to 296/9 in 50 overs. SA were confident from the beginning and chased the target easily. They were never out of the scene and did the required with 5 wickets in hand. The last thriller was between England and Bangladesh. BD did an excellent job by restricting the English to 226 and then managed to chase their target with 2 wickets remaining. It was another big upset of England in the tournament and made it all the more difficult for them to qualify for the quarter-final with Ireland and BD giving them competition in the points table. With the group round still not finished we have already had five thriller matches and this promises the knock-outs to be even more exciting.
