Match Analysis

Rohit turns up awake, alert

Where other Indian batsmen had stomped their authority in the World Cup, Rohit Sharma's scores appeared to nodding off. At the MCG on Thursday, he stepped up as the leader and backbone of India's batting

19-Mar-2015•Sharda Ugra at the MCG

Green islands swamped by sea of blue

This was Bangaldesh's big day out but their fans were forced to swim against a surging Indian tide

19-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria at the MCG

No logic in the no ball

The ICC protocol, which suggests that a no-ball can be checked only if there has been a dismissal, could do with some tweaking. If an umpire's assessment of an lbw can be questioned, why not a no-ball?

19-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria and Sidharth Monga

The sadness of Mahela's unscripted farewell

Cricket does not seem ready to give up Mahela Jayawardene - but the game rarely does perfect endings

18-Mar-2015•Sambit Bal in Sydney

Relief all round as South Africa are freed from suffocation

It was relief, rather than raucous, rampant celebration for South Africa because relief has to be the leveller for a side who have made history but still have more history to make

18-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda at the SCG

Lifetime of grace trumps one stinging night

The years of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene making millions happy together were more fulfilling than a final piece of silverware could ever have been

18-Mar-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando at the SCG

Sri Lankan defeat defies basic arithmetic

Just how did Sri Lanka manage to lose? They ticked nearly every box required for victory, and put up all the right numbers

18-Mar-2015•Andy Zaltzman at the SCG

De Villiers wears the face of a winner

AB de Villiers and Angelo Mathews. One captaining a must-win game of cricket, the other captaining a past awash with disappointments. For AB de Villiers, the disappointment was banished

18-Mar-2015•Jarrod Kimber

Pakistan's death bowlers step up again

At one stage Ireland seemed poised to set Pakistan a target in the region of 270, but Misbah-ul-Haq attacked with his fast bowlers to keep them down to far less

15-Mar-2015•Daniel Brettig in Adelaide

WI miss a chance to make a statement

They got the job done - and ultimately that is what matters - but West Indies need to address the fact that they were switched off for large parts of the game, and lacked the ruthlessness they will badly need in the quarter-finals

15-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

A familiar despair marks Taylor's farewell

Brendan Taylor did everything in his last match to give his side a real chance of stunning India, and all he could do was watch it slip away. In so many ways, the theme of his Zimbabwe career

14-Mar-2015•Abhishek Purohit in Auckland

Middle-order masterclass hides troubles at the top

In an otherwise strong campaign, India will be wary of the fact that their openers have struggled to come out firing and are time and again being bailed out by others down the order

14-Mar-2015•Sharda Ugra at Eden Park

Pragmatic Australia ace rain hurdle

Despite the nervousness caused by the weather, Australia's professional victory secured their preferred route for the knockouts

14-Mar-2015•Brydon Coverdale in Hobart

England underwhelm one last time

The flaws were still visible in England's win over Afghanistan but to blame the coach and the players does not go far enough

13-Mar-2015•George Dobell in Sydney

New Zealand read off very different script

A changed XI was not the only difference for New Zealand as they closed out the group stage under rather difficult circumstances

13-Mar-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Hamilton

Defeat no dampener for fearless Bangladesh

Mahmudullah's second century on the trot and the intensity of their bowling and fielding performance against New Zealand will give Bangladesh plenty of confidence to carry into the quarter-finals

13-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria in Hamilton

Four years on, fire in their belly

This Bangladesh isn't the side that collapses in a heap at the first signs of pressure. This Bangladesh is the side that can challenge till the end, if not yet beat, the very best

13-Mar-2015•Andy Zaltzman

Afghanistan's fortunes fade

After a strong start to the World Cup, Afghanistan lost steam in the closing matches, and will be especially disappointed that they couldn't push a dispirited England harder

13-Mar-2015•Daniel Brettig at the SCG

Good, but not nearly good enough

South Africa may have come out of the group relatively unscathed, but all their rivals would have taken note of the team's chasing struggles and over-dependence on pace

12-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Wellington

Sri Lanka's local hero

They have a trio of big names to bolster their batting but Lasith Malinga is the kid on the beach who wins Sri Lanka games
