Look for West Indies to come good

With the semi-final places decided, the last few Super Eights games are bound to throw up some essentially meaningless encounters and Thursday's match is just that as West Indies and Bangladesh meet in Barbados

Warne and Hampshire the ones to beat

The World Cup is not even over but believe it or not the County Championship begins again on Wednesday, so expect the weather to turn ugly. Seriously, though, Sussex will be out to defend their title while Hampshire, and a certain Shane Warne, will be sni

Sri Lanka just need to win

Having effectively handed Australia victory on Monday by leaving out three of their best bowlers, only one through injury, Sri Lanka will be looking to return to winning ways when they play Ireland on Wednesday. Already through to the last

England still in with a chance

England have been abject at this World Cup, beating only Ireland and Bangladesh so far in the Super Eights. Somehow, however, they go into their match with South Africa in Barbados on Tuesday knowing that victory will almost certainly put them into the se

Sri Lanka to test Aussies

Champions and favourites Australia have cruised to victory in their five matches in the Super Eights but they could be tested for the first time in this World Cup when they take on Sri Lanka in Grenada on Monday

Bangladesh too strong for Ireland

Sunday's World Cup action takes place in Barbados again as Bangladesh and Ireland meet in a match which will mean nothing to the overall destination of the trophy but which still matters to both sides who exceeded expectations to get to this stage

South Africa hold the advantage

At last a big match to get our teeth into as New Zealand and South Africa clash in Grenada on Saturday. Victory for New Zealand would put them into the last four but having had just one day of rest after their defeat by Sri Lanka, the odds are against the

Understudies to get their chance

Cruising through the Super Eight stage so far, Australia take on Ireland in their latest match of the World Cup on Friday. The defending champions are sure to rest several top players, which means it could be time for some of the lesser lights to impress

New Zealand eyeing top spot

New Zealand appear to be virtually assured of a place in the last four of the World Cup but having won all four of their matches, Stephen Fleming's side take on Sri Lanka on Thursday knowing victory would move them a step closer to finishing top of the Su

England cannot afford to lose

With three matches to go, things get pretty simple for England from now on. Beat Bangladesh on Wednesday and they still have a chance to reach the semi-finals. Lose again and they may as well pack their bags

All to play for in Grenada

South Africa's defeat by Bangladesh was not only an embarrassment for Graeme Smith's side, it also opened up the race for the final semi-final spot in the World Cup. Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand all look nailed on, but any one of South Africa, Wes

England must win to stay alive

With all due respect to Bangladesh, who take on South Africa on Saturday, the biggest game of the weekend is on Easter Sunday itself when Australia, on course for a third straight World Cup triumph, take on an England side needing to win to stay alive

Big test for England

England eased to victory over Ireland but were pretty unimpressive and will need to make a big improvement if they are to clinch victory over Sri Lanka when the two sides meet on Wednesday

03-Apr-2007•Simon Cambers

Ireland up against it

Ireland are loving being in the Super Eights at the World Cup but unless something strange happens they probably won't win another match and South Africa, their opponents on Tuesday, look far too strong

New Zealand should be confident

The scheduling of matches in the Super Eights stage of this World Cup is becoming something of a joke with Bangladesh, hammered by Australia on Saturday, back in action on Monday against New Zealand, reducing their chances of an upset win

Tough task for West Indies

You have to feel for West Indies. Not only have they lost both their first two matches in the Super Eights, but now they play their third game in just six days, knowing that defeat by Sri Lanka in Guyana on Sunday will probably mean the end of their World

Aussies set for Bangladesh cruise

Bangladesh did superbly well to get through the group stages of the World Cup for the first time but things suddenly get an awful lot tougher for them as they take on two-time holders Australia on Saturday

England too strong for Ireland

Ireland did superbly to beat Pakistan in the group stages and seal their place in the Super Eights but even the most optimistic of fans probably don't believe they can beat England when the two neighbours clash in Guyana on Friday

West Indies need to bounce back

Having been easily beaten by Australia in a rain-delayed match on Wednesday, hosts West Indies have no time to mull it over as they are back in action again on Thursday when they take on New Zealand

South Africa hold the edge

South Africa begin their Super Eights campaign on Wednesday with an intriguing match against Sri Lanka, one of the most impressive sides in the group stage, with bet365 finding it difficult to split them in the betting
