NEW ZEALAND v INDIA @ Auckland:

India (339/6) beat New Zealand (330/5) by 9 runs.

India managed to win a must win game for them - just! After deciding to bat first on a poor pitch, the Indians set up a huge target of 339/6 for New Zealand to chase. India looked in firm control of the match, however, the New Zealand batsmen almost proved them wrong and could've caused one of the tournaments biggest upsets. However, India must rely on the result in the next game going their way.

Man Of The Match: G Gambhir

WEST INDIES v AUSTRALIA @ Sabina Park:

Australia (255) beat West Indies (197) by 58 runs.

A great bowling performance from the Australians, in particular, Brett Lee (4-42), gave them an unexpected victory after being bowled out themselves cheaply. Once again, Justin Langer provided the Aussies with a solid start after blasting 75 from 60. The West Indies never looked decent enough to chase the small target and have now let India in with a chance of taking their semi final spot.

Man Of The Match: Brett Lee

Pakistan continue their unbeaten run to 9 games now as they scored the highest one day score of the season at Lahore today. 5 of the 7 who batted crossed the half century mark, with Younis Khan getting a century. He ended on 118 off 76 balls as Pakistan crushed the South African bowling attack to confirm them as mega-favourites for the one day competition. South Africa did well in response, themselves crossing the 300 mark, which would be great in the normal one day game!
