Both groups schedule are exposing issues with cricket scheduling. NZ and West Indies have a clear advantage over India & SA by playing last.

I suppose they could have bowled out Bangladesh for 20 I guess 8-). Post match interviews were saying that wicket was very tricky to bat on, and all those chances the Bangers had backs that up.

According to our favourite "jounalist" the NRR actually went down even though the team won :confused1
Sure but sometimes one needs to be brave, the 12 wides didn't help either. Also as mentioned not just the Bangladesh game there was also a chance in the west Indies game to lift nrr. Small details matter in world cups.

Sadly our journo is right this time. Our nrr did drop. Before the game it was 1.527 dropped to 1.382

That's always possible and would be true if the NRR of the latest win was less than the NRR before the last match.

Someone has to play last unless they schedule two games at the same time (TV rights might not allow) and even then one team in a group of 5 has already finished.

Football has all last round games in a goup at the same time. Think its quite an advantage to know what you need to do.

England did the expected job on Scotland. Now even with a defeat against WI should qualify unless they are hammered and badly effect their NRR compared to RSA. Am sure they will want to avoid playing Aus.

i know India has more on the line than Australia here but this is threatening to get interesting especially given that start from Gardner

I’ll do the numbers tomorrow morning, but I suspect England will need to win to go through.

But they ought to anyway.

One of the worst lbw decisions given not out I’ve ever seen. Nearly as bad Bowden on Kaspro in 2005!!

Wisden has it as England having a margin of 2 run defeat.

Harmanpreet should have done a Dhoni. No point giving the strike away and back yourself to hit the boundaries.

Whatever it takes!!!
Our lack of depth in batting was always going to come back to haunt us. But hope women's cricket keeps going on the up and up in India and by the next tourney we have a proper lineup that can bat all the way down.
