Pool B: Netherlands vs Sri Lanka
NETHERLANDS 183 47.4 overs
SRI LANKA 186/4 45.1 overs
Sri Lanka won by 6 wickets
Man of the match: DPMdS Jayawardene
Very good fight by Holland in this one. With the bat they resisted Muralitharan superbly (Lefebvre hit him for consecutive sixes) and with the ball they were tight enough to take the game down to the last few overs. Important win for Sri Lanka to have a very very small chance of qualifying.

Pool A: Australia vs Pakistan
AUSTRALIA 291/4 50.0 overs
PAKISTAN 246/8 50.0 overs
Australia won by 45 runs
Man of the match: RT Ponting
Behind a blazing century from captain Ponting, Australia racked up a challenging total against Pakistan's finest. With runs in the bank, he then marshalled his men to limit Pakistan impressively for a comfortable victory and a second round spot.
Pool B: New Zealand vs India
NEW ZEALAND 250/6 50.0 overs
INDIA 224/6 50.0 overs
New Zealand won by 26 runs
Man of the match: MHW Papps
Having been dropped by Nehra on 10, Papps went on to push his team to a moderate total. The real performance came with the ball though, as the early wickets of Sehwag, Tendulkar and Laxman pushed back the chase and, despite the efforts of Dravid and Ganguly, India fell short.

Pool D: South Africa vs England
SOUTH AFRICA 267/4 50.0 overs
ENGLAND 155 42.0 overs
South Africa won by 112 runs
Man of the match: SM Pollock
In difficult batting conditions, Jacques Kallis and Jacques Rudolph guided South Africa to a very handy total. Then Pollock took over the spotlight, shredding an English batting order which only saw Trescothick and Flintoff apply themselves properly.

Pool A: Kenya vs Scotland
KENYA 163 42.3 overs
SCOTLAND 165/3 31.5 overs
Scotland won by 7 wickets
Man of the match: GM Hamilton
The shock of the World Cup to date. Kenya falls to Scotland! With a bit of seam movement in the air, the Kenyans collapsed for 163, which they could not defend against some positive batting.
Pool C: Canada vs Zimbabwe
ZIMBABWE 161 44.1 overs
CANADA 162/6 30.3 overs
Canada won by 4 wickets
Man of the match: D Joseph
Another huge shock! Amazingly Canada managed to upset Zimbabwe too! Davis Joseph the star on this occasion, as the low point of Zimbabwean cricket arrives and the high point of Candian cricket.

Pool C: CW XI vs Canada
Well we're here for the final round of this preliminary round of matches of the 2004 World Cup. Both these teams, Canada and the CW XI, are on highs at the moment. Canada comes off a great win over Zimbabwe and the CW XI have won both their matches convincingly thus far.
A convincing win for Canda today can therefore knock the hosts out of the tournament rather prematurely.
Blewy has won the toss and he has elected to take strike on this Skydome wicket...
..................................
..................................
........... 48.3 Thura'ngam to Wright, OUT, Thats out by a long way!!! Great throw from D Chumney
Mr Wright 9 (20b)
run out (Chumney)
All over! The Cricket Web XI have been shockingly knocked over for just 203 runs in 48.3 overs. What an effort by the Canadian minnows thus far! Can they finish it off?
End of innings (48.3 overs)
CRICKET WEB XI 203/10 (RR: 4.19)
S Thuraisingam 6.3-0-16-3
David(Jr.) 8(15b)
-----------------------
-----------------------
Mr Mxyzptlk will pick up the attack to start off...
0.1 Mxyzptlk to Davison, FOUR, Here we go! Just short of a good length and swatted over midwicket
0.2 Mxyzptlk to Davison, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down - no chance there
0.3 Mxyzptlk to Davison, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by Mxyzptlk
0.4 Mxyzptlk to Davison, SIX, What a wonderful shot! Wristy flick over midwicket, this time over the ropes!
0.5 Mxyzptlk to Davison, FOUR, Mr Mxyzptlk cant belive it as that one flies over cover's head!
0.6 Mxyzptlk to Davison, two runs, Overthrow by Eclipse instead of 1 they get 2
End of over 1 (16 runs)
CANADA 16/0
(R/R: 16.00 R/R Req: 3.84)
Mr Mxyzptlk 1.0-0-16-0

That's the performance I've been looking for! Shame I couldn't hold out with the bat for a bit longer. A win is a win boys (& girls).
