WascallyWabbit (FormerMod)

Congratulations West Indies!

West Indies set a score of 311 for 6 in their 50 overs
Afghanistan played their best game of the tournament, but fell short by just 23 runs
and were all on for 288 on the final ball



Sadly that was the last game for Afghanistan, with 0 wins,
which means that just 3 people did not win a badge & that seems a bit unfair,
so the special "HOWZAT - Wooden Spoon Award!" goes to:

Team Afghanistan

Thank you, sometimes a long shot pays off.

Congratulations Pakistan!

Pakistan scored 315 for 9 in their 50 overs
Bangladesh were all out for 221 in 44.1 overs



The win puts Pakistan equal to NZ on points,
but was not a big enough win to beat their Run Rate,
So it is 5th place for:

Team Pakistan

AjneszporPlayer (AU1)
Jimmy Johns ll (US1) Maggiltilda (NL1)
Nelie (NL1)
sirali (US1)

Hahahaha, I like that.  You only get England if you already voted at the beginning before it all started.   So, me too!   I voted England.  Go England Go!

History goes against England. So far they are 3-times runners up, never champion. Australia won the championship highest number of times. 
But England this time is a formidable team, playing well. At their home soil too. So they have a good chance.

All the best England.
But I somehow carry a soft spot for New Zealand. My bet is still New Zealand.

TMKC (IN1)

India will win the World Cup.

Blue Denim (US1)

I am still Team England,

You don't place a bet. new each time a game is played for this contest.  When it first started we stated what team we were for, and that was final once voting ended.  So, who did you vote for the first time?   That's who you get to be in a drawing for if the team you voted for wins.  Unless, that is you just want to have fun with voting to see how it goes. 

Edit:  I see at the top you voted for Team India.

Summer (SKN1)

Yes, I voted for India to win And stand by it.

hmm are there two sets of voting now? One for the finals (goldwinner) and another where we vote pr match?

SuzyQ22 (US1)

I don't think so, I think once it is all done the final team that wins and those who voted for them get into a drawing for the gold and other prizes.  So, even if the team you voted for wins, you still have to be lucky enough to win the drawing.  I am not positive there is nothing for participating but I do remember I did not win the drawing last year. 

Rocky123 (IN1)

Grats to the Kiwi supporters . Thought Jaddu and MS will finish the match but unfortunately couldnt  .

Congratulations New Zealand!

Well that was certainly an event!
New Zealand got 211 for 5 yesterday before rain stopped play & it resumed today.
With their remaining 23 balls New Zealand increased their score to 239 for 8.
Then in the shock of the tournament India were all out for 221 with just 3 balls left.

It is on to the finals for:

Team New Zealand
