The parallels to 1992 keep on increasing, and just as it had happened in that Oceania hosted World Cup, Pakistan beat New Zealand in the first semi-final today at the SCG in front of a crowd of 36,443 to book their spot in Sunday’s final in Melbourne. They will meet either England (whom they beat in the 1992 final at the MCG) or arch rivals India, who beat them at the same venue three weeks ago in the group stages in front of a 90,293 strong crowd.

The 36,443 fans in attendance for this Pakistan v Black Caps SF was also a record crowd for Sydney at this tournament, beating the 36,426 who had turned up for India against the Netherlands. It also comfortably bettered the 30,351 who watched Pakistan beat South Africa at this ground last week.

Pakistan vs Black Caps Sydney SF

It was a comfortable win for Pakistan. New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat, but never quite got going. Shaheen Afridi, who has looked more and more like his past self as this tournament has gone on, trapped the dangerous Finn Allen LBW in the first over. A lovely piece of fielding from Shadab Khan accounted for Devon Conway and SCG centurion Glenn Phillips made only 6 before he gave an easy return catch to Mohammed Nawaz. The Black Caps managed were 59/3 at the half way mark in their innings. Continue reading “Pakistan vs New Zealand SCG Attendance 36,443 T20 World Cup 2022 Semifinal November 9, 2022”

A sparkling half century from Suryakumar Yadav (61* off 25) helped India end their Super 12 campaign on a winning note as they beat Zimbabwe by 71 runs at the MCG. There was a 82,507 strong crowd inside the G for this clash- the second biggest of the tournament so far (Click here for attendance figures for all India games at the 2022 T20 WC so far).

Ind v Zim Attendance 82,507 MCG

The result means that India top Group 2 and will face England in the semifinal at Adelaide on November 10, with Pakistan squaring off against New Zealand in Sydney a day earlier. It also guaranteed automatic qualification for the 2024 World Cup for the Netherlands, who had stunned South Africa earlier at the Adelaide Oval and leapfrogged Zimbabwe in the table.

England vs Sri Lanka 2022 SCG Sydney Attendance 24,250 November 5 Super 12 T20 World Cup Report

England all rounder Ben Stokes scored a valuable unbeaten 42 to help his side reached the semifinals of the World Cup as they defeated Sri Lankan by 4 wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. A crowd of 24,250 was present at the SCG for this clash- a decent figure but lower than the 30,351 for Pakistan vs South Africa and the 36,426 for India Netherlands at the same venue.

SL vs Eng

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, with openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis getting them to a quickfire start. The duo added 39 runs for the opening wicket before Mendis (18) pulled a short delivery from Chris Woakes to Liam Livingstone, who took a fine running catch.

Dhananjaya de Silva then holed out to Stokes at deep midwicket off Sam Curran for 9. Charith Asalanka (8) fell to Stokes, edging one to Dawid Malan at point.

Nissanka looked in fine touch as he reached his half century in just 33 balls. However just as he was threatening to take the game away from England, he skied a delivery from Adil Rashid to substitute Chris Jordan in deep.

Mark Wood then pegged the Lankans back with wickets of Dasun Shanaka (3), Bhanuka Rajapaksa (22) and Chamika Karunaratne (0) in quick succession as they were restricted to 141/8 in 20 overs.

It was a poor score for the Asia Cup champions given that they were 100 after 13 overs, managing less than a run a ball in the final seven.

Chasing 142, England got off to a fantastic start as openers Alex Hales and Jos Buttler added 75 for the opening wicket. However Hasaranga broke the stand by dismissing skipper Buttler (28), caught brilliantly by a diving Chamika Karunaratne at deep midwicket.

Hales (47) fell three run short of a well deserved half-century, as he attempted a slog-sweep off Hasaranga and chipped one back to the bowler.

The English side lost a bit of momentum as they crumbled from 82/2 to 111/5. However Stokes held his nerve and guided his team to a four wicket win. The victory also knocked defending champions Australia out of the World Cup, with England and the Black Caps advancing from Group 1.

Australia vs Afghanistan 2022 Adelaide Attendance 18,672 November 4 Super 12 T20 World Cup Report

Rashid Khan’s fine 48* (23) went in vain as Afghanistan fell short against Australia in front of a 18,672 strong crowd at the Adelaide Oval. The Asian side were 96/2 after 12 overs while chasing 169, needing just 73 off the final 8 overs, but a middle order collapse gave Australia a route back into the game, and despite Rashid’s late game heroics, the hosts held on to win by four runs.

The victory takes defending champions Australia to 7 points, but the margin was not enough for them to leapfrog England on NRR. Should Jos Buttler’s men beat Sri Lanka by any margin tomorrow, they will join New Zealand in the last four from Group 1.

The 18,672 fans in attendance was some 11,000 odd lesser than the 29,302 that had turned up at the same venue to watch India against Bangladesh two days ago. Yesterday’s SCG game between Pakistan and South Africa saw 30,351 in attendance.

Australia owed their victory to Glenn Maxwell, whose fine half century took them to 168/8 after being put in by Mohammad Nabi. He also produced the moment that turned the game the hosts’ way- running Gulbadin Naib out with a direct throw from the deep, just as it had happened with KL Rahul & Liton Das at this very ground on Wednesday.
