Then bowled England out, who flopped spectacularly with the bat.

England v Bangladesh was a one sided affair, in their second game of the Cricket World Cup. Joe Root, Dawid Malan and the boys posted a huge score. In response Bangladesh didn't really do anything. As an early innings spell from Reece Topley effectively ended the chase before it began.  Later Pakistan took on Sri Lanka in a thriller. Kusal Mendis was brutal once more, and was ably backed up by Samarawickrama. However, in response, and pursuing a record score to win a Cricket World Cup game, Pakistan were excellent. Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique starred, as they both hit tons and guided Pakistan towards the score.  Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Want to create live streams like this?

Virat Kolhi helped the Indian team beat Australia in a low scoring game in Chennai. This gets their 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup campaign off to a great start. Earlier in the match the Australians had struggled against Jadeja, Kuldeep and Bumrah, before Kohli notched a good score, in partnership with KL Rahul, to steer India to victory. The defeat for Australia leaves them in jeopardy of not making the semis, whilst the India's in puts them in pole position. Earlier in the weekend Bangladesh began their Cricket World Campaign by beating the Afghanistan team, as they bowled them out cheaply. And the South Africans destoryed Sri Lanka as they smashed multiple Cricket World Cup records.  Aiden Markram was the star man in that contest as he hit the fastest hundred in the history of the World Cup.

Pakistan took on the Netherlands in both team's first game of the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup. Batting first, Pakistan were given a big scare by the Netherlands, who took early wickets and had Pakistan rocking after the fall of Babar Azam.  Saud Shakheel and Rizwan were able to stead the ship though and despite wickets for Bas de Leede, Pakistan managed to reach a good score of 286.  In response Netherlands did threaten a couple of times, as Bas de Leede, once again, batted very well. However, the pace of Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi was too much, and Pakistan ended up winning by 81 runs.  You can find Assad on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/LeftArmAround Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.
