Ben Stokes scored a fluent 108 in front of a 9,217 strong crowd as England beat Netherlands by 160 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday.

Eng 7th

The turnout was not as good as the 31,940 for South Africa New Zealand at this very venue a week ago, but still a decent crowd for a weekday game involving two teams not really in the running for the semifinals.

England vs Australia Attendance 55,052 Ahmedabad Cricket World Cup 2023 Motera Narendra Modi Stadium

An excellent crowd of 55,052 was in attendance at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as Australia beat England by 33 runs on Saturday, also eliminating them from the World Cup in the process. The number was bigger than the turnout for the opening game (47,518) of the tournament between England and New Zealand at this very venue a month ago.

Adam Zampa was instrumental in Australia’s win- his quickfire 19-ball-29 helped them reach 286, his three wickets (including the key ones of Stokes and Ali) halted England just as they were threatening to take the game away, and he took an excellent late catch to end David Willey’s cameo with the bat.

South Africa vs New Zealand Pune Attendance 31,940 Gahunje 2023 Cricket World Cup 1 November

An excellent crowd of 31,940 was in attendance at the MCA Stadium in Gahunje, Pune as South Africa went to the top of the table after thrashing New Zealand by 190 runs. The result saw NZ’s run rate drop from 1.23 to 0.48, and potentially opens the door for Pakistan, whose next game is against the Black Caps in Bangalore.

Somewhat oddly, Black Caps skipper Tom Latham opted to put South Africa in after winning the toss, and it backfired badly as centuries from Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen took the Proteas to an imposing 357/5 in their 50 overs.
