Neither England nor New Zealand has won the World Cup before. Cricket is thus ready to witness the first new world champion in 23 years.
Virat Kohli’s (67) third consecutive 50 of the tournament helped him to enter top ten. With a total of nine wickets, Sheldon Cottrell is now at 8th place.
The week 3 wrap chronicles the splendid performances of Root, Finch, Rohit, Shakib and Morgan, the failure of Afghan bowlers, Williamson's hundred, and a du Plessis quote.
England will host Sri Lanka for the 27th match of World Cup 2019 on June 21 at Headingley, Leeds.
Williamson now averages an absurd 225. Morgan has hit more sixes than any two others put together. And Ferguson is second in averages and third in economy rates.
Bangladesh beat West Indies by seven wickets; Hamstring tear rules Jason Roy out for at least two games; Eoin Morgan doesn’t rule out Alex Hales’ return; Lungi Ngidi declared fit for New Zealand clash.
Afghanistan and South Africa won their first warm-up matches. Eoin Morgan developed a figure injury; Vijay Shankar and Shikhar Dhawan were hit by the ball during practice.
Bangladesh beat Ireland, during the course of which Shakib got injured; Morgan was suspended for an ODI; and Steyn and Rabada are likely to play South Africa's World Cup opener.
Mumbai in Playoffs, South Africa sweats over injuries, and Morgan lambasts Hales.
England have clinched the T20I series 2-0, but West Indies will look to regain some pride with a win in England's final match of the tour.
