Watch Live Cricket Online Streaming - WI Vs Eng
Well the title says, must win for England and West Indies win is the wish of India and Bangladesh. That is true! That makes this match one of the most important clashes of World Cup 2011. England has to win this one to stay alive in this world cup. Besides this India and Bangladesh is praying for a West Indies win here for them to qualify to the quarter finals with West Indies.
England has been impressive against better teams like India and South Africa but West Indies has things the other way round. So probably England has an upper hand here. A win for England will keep the Group B qualifying thing interesting. West Indies win will make ways for India and Bangladesh too towards the next round.
Chennai being the venue today, England again anticipates a low and turning pitch. They played on this pitch against South Africa and clinched a shocking win. West Indies isn't familiar with the behavior of this pitch so they will take time to adjust to the conditions.

We have bowling plans for India: Smith
Smith has cleverly used his varied attack, especially the spinners. When Smith played three spinners in their opening match against West Indies in Delhi and opened the attack with off-spinner Johan Botha, it was clear that the thurst is on spin.
Botha, left-arm spinner Robin Peterson and leg-spinner Imran Tahir have successfully executed Smith's plans.
It was something new for the opposition, who usually prepare to face the fearsome Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.
Smith says they wanted to be “unpredictable” and make the opposition think.
"Everything we tried seemed to have worked. As a bowling unit, we have been very strong in the tournament so far. The unpredictability is good as most people take us to be predictable. The only thing is that the bowlers have to execute the plans.”
Smith said they have plans against India too.
"The fact that we are talking about the bowling options means that we have been pretty successful with our plans. We have few things up our sleeve. We have got the options available. Our bowlers had a fair amount of success against India. We obviously know each other pretty well. We played the whole summer.”
India have quality players to tackle the spin. They have had a tough time facing the heat of Steyn, Morkel with Lonwabo Tsotsobe doing a fine job as third seamer on bouncy pitches back home.
The wicket here is expected to have some bounce and carry also.
Smith, however, did not reveal whether he will rely on pace or attack with spinners.
His experiment with Botha succeeded against the West Indies as he got rid of the explosive Chris Gayle quickly. Smith then completely foxed England, backing left-arm spinner Peterson to open the attack against Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Strauss and the spinner got both. Smith has also used his spinners in short spells, not allowing the batsmen to settle down.
“We have been lot more different with our planning. We have done that in the last three games.”
Smith said the game against India will be important to both teams in terms of gaining confidence and momentum.
“But it is not the be all and end all of the World Cup. The quarterfinal, semifinal and final stages are the most important.
"This is the ground where our bowler were successful, we had a very successful Test win here," Smith said, reminding of the innings victory last year.
Smith said reverse swing may be a factor in the match.
"We reckon there will not be much dew. The conditions are pretty warm. The outfield is lush and the pitch is really good. I expect an amount of reverse swing with the white ball, not much like it did in Chennai. But I think reverse swing will play a factor."

India win by five wickets against Netherlands
Opting to bat first, the Netherlands had earlier put 189 runs on boards before losing all their wickets in 46.4 overs at the near-capacity Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
Eric Szwarczynski (28) and Wesley Barresi (26) provided a sedate 56-run opening stand and down the order, captain Peter Borren (38 off 36 balls) came up with a desperate knock to push the score but the 200-mark eventually eluded them.
Ireland pledge all-out attack against India
The non-Test-playing nation provided the shock of the tournament to stun England by three wickets on Wednesday and all-rounder John Mooney said they would adopt the same fearless approach in Bangalore.
“Our expectations going into the India game will be the same and we will go all out. Every game we play, we play to win,” said Mooney, who took four wickets and scored a crucial 33 not out against England.
“As it was against Bangladesh, it will be the same against India too. It didn’t happen in the first outing, but we went out with the same attitude against England and the approach will be the same against India.”
“We have our own expectations and we don’t want to put pressure on ourselves.”
Ireland, who lost a close opening match against Bangladesh, have two points from as many games and a win over India would be a major step towards reaching the quarter-finals.
They owed their victory to powerful batsman Kevin O’Brien, who hammered a 50-ball hundred — the fastest in World Cup history — as they overhauled England’s imposing 327 for eight.
India, with three points after two matches, including a dramatic tie against England, may be struggling to find the right bowling combination but O’Brien said the hosts had the resources to keep pressure on his team.
“A couple of bad matches won’t make them a bad bowling attack. I’ve seen the likes of (paceman) Zaheer Khan and (spinner) Harbhajan Singh and they’re very good bowlers,” said O’Brien, who turned 27 on Friday.
“It’s going to be a difficult game on Sunday. I’m looking forward to it as it’s not every day that you play in front of 50,000 screaming fans. If I’m playing on a flat wicket, I’d try to hit the ball if it is there to hit.”
The track has favoured batsmen in the past two matches — England v India and Ireland v England — as each team topped 300 runs.
India need to back up their batting with tight bowling and fielding against Ireland, who showed the depth of their batting against England as lower-order batsmen Alex Cusack and Mooney made crucial contributions.
The hosts’ batting looked formidable in their two matches so far, with Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli cracking centuries against Bangladesh and Sachin Tendulkar scoring 120 against England.
But India’s bowling has left a lot to be desired despite trying out different combinations as they conceded 283 runs against Bangladesh and could not defend 338 against England in the tied match.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said the hosts needed to be at their best against Ireland, who have “some outstanding players”.
“India will have the chance to review their bowling attack as to whether they go with three fast bowlers or continue with two spinners and two seamers, which I don’t think is the way forward,” said Ganguly.
“India are the better side, but they must be ready and up for the challenge that Ireland will provide them with. India will have to be up and ready for it.”
Cricket World Cup 2011: we will raise our game for India, says England captain Andrew Strauss, after Holland scare
A six-wicket win over Holland came after an, at times, embarrassing fielding performance at the VCA Stadium - where Ryan ten Doeschate hit a career-best 119 as the minnows set England 292 for six.
England recovered their composure, on the back of half-centuries from Strauss (88) and Jonathan Trott (62), to pass a testing target with eight balls to spare.
Even so, it is hard to envisage Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team being too concerned about the threat likely to be posed by England on Sunday after their lacklustre first attempt.
"I hope India will take us lightly after this performance," Strauss said, with half a smile.
He is optimistic that England will prove themselves capable of much better when it is required.
Millions tune into India’s Cricket World Cup opener
The average TV rating rose slightly to 7.8 in India’s six metro areas. Bangalore leads the pack with average TVR of 9.17 for the first match followed by Mumbai (9.14 TVR), Kolkata (7.7 TVR), Delhi (7.65 TVR), Hyderabad (6.43 TVR) and Chennai (4.94 TVR).
The figures show 33 million viewers in India watched the opening match from Dhaka on Star Cricket; 28 million watched the state channel Doordarshan 1; 25 million tuned into ESPN; and 17 million to Star Sports.
Of these viewers, 12 million watched on terrestrial television, and 76 million on cable and satellite, according to Indiantelevision.com. A total of 14 million viewers watched the initial cricketing action via digital transmission on either direct to home (DTH) satellite platforms or digital cable.
Fourteen million Indian viewers also tuned into the opening ceremony of the tournament on 17 February.
Broadcast rights holder ESPN Star Sports has also announced that requests for its live streaming of the Cricket World Cup on its website had reached over 3 million in the first four days of the tournament. Of these, one million were unique video viewers.
“We are indeed delighted with the ratings,” said Sanjay Kailash, Executive Vice President – Advertising Sales & New Media, ESPN Software India. “There have been lots of discussions and comparisons with rival properties over the past few months but the opening match of the tournament has clearly proved the fact that ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is indeed the ‘The Cup That Counts’.
"In fact, the ratings of the opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup are substantially higher than the corresponding opening match of IPL 3 for starters,” he added. “And here we are talking of a larger time duration vis-Ã -vis a T20 match in IPL. We expect the ratings to go up even further as the Indian cricket team marches on in its quest for victory and we wish them all the best.”
The opening match between India and Bangladesh began at 2pm on Saturday 19 February, and lasted for 470 minutes. The ICC Cricket World Cup, which is being jointly hosted by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, runs until 2 April 2011.
India Vs Bangladesh - Cricket World Cup 2011
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first. Fielding decision was decided for taking benefit from dew while batting in headlights. Both Captains had admitted before the start of the match that the game was going to be affected due to dew in evening.
While batting first, Virendra Sehwag scored an impressive 175 runs on behalf of India. Virat Kohli was the other man to chase 3 figure of runs. Dhoni at the place of Suresh Raina chose Kohli; Kohli proved that Dhoni was correct in his decision. The Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar, lost his wicket while running with Sehwag. He made 28 runs. Gambhir scored 39 runs; Mohmudullah bowled him out. Sehwag scored 175 runs when Bangladeshi bowler bowled him out. At the end of their innings, India scored 370 runs against Bangladesh. Bangladeshi crowd could not greet their team due to the Indian domination of the match.
In reply to Indian inning, Bangladeshi bowlers took an impressive start. Sri Santh was the most expensive bowler up to the 5th over of Match. He gave 24 runs in fifth over of the Bangladeshi Inning. Bangladesh had crossed 50 run mark in first five overs of the game. Tamim Iqbal was the top scorer with a score of 70 runs. Shakib Al Hassan who scored 55 runs followed him.

India had been put into bat by co-hosts Bangladesh but Sehwag overcame the run out of opening partner Sachin Tendulkar to register the tournament's first century, as well as hitting the tournament's first six.
