Match Preview
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / New Zealand in form, but Australia formidable at home
New Zealand are electrifying, but Australia are clinical at home. The visitors are unbeaten, but the hosts have big-tournament pedigree
ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP 2015 / India not carrying any scars: Rohit
Scars? What scars? Everyone's talking about scars, but Rohit Sharma sees none. The scars being discussed do not concern cosmetic surgery for a movie star, but the Indian team's memory of what Australia had been like around six weeks ago.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / Who will be the World Cup's newest first-time finalist?
Nine World Cup semi-finals, zero World Cup finals. New Zealand and South Africa are no strangers to the last four, but neither has ever experienced the ultimate shoot-out.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / New Zealand aim to continue as overwhelming favourites
South Africa are not the only country to have struggled with knockout games in previous World Cups. New Zealand have won only one such match.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / Surging Pakistan prepare for dominant Australia
Contentious-selection riddled, injury-ravaged, have Pakistan limped to this quarter-final, or have they surged?
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / Bangladesh aim to fell a giant
At the start of the World Cup, defending champions India would have accepted gleefully the position they find themselves in - a quarter-final against Bangladesh
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / Ireland, Pakistan in virtual shootout
This has already dubbed been "the biggest game we've ever had" by Ireland's key batsman, Ed Joyce. The winner of this game is assured of a quarter-final place.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 / WI must beat UAE, weather and then watch
This is what it has come down to. The group stage of the World Cup will end with two Full Members, West Indies and Pakistan, fighting for their spot
Eyes on the knockouts for Ireland
Thirteen venues have been used so far in this tournament. On Saturday the fourteenth and final ground makes its 2015 World Cup debut: Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
WI quicks key to stopping Indian juggernaut
The last time these sides played each other, West Indies pulled out of the tour of India midway over a payment dispute with their board. That led to a change in leadership and the exit of a couple of players.
Bangladesh seek quarter-final boost
If Bangladesh are to make the World Cup quarter-finals, they have to win at least two of their next three matches.
Hosts look to inject momentum into slow campaign
One win. One washout. One loss. Australia wouldn't have thought that the first half of their World Cup group matches would pan out this way. But you cannot control the weather, which was really bad in Brisbane, and as Michael Clarke said, Australia were beaten by a quality New Zealand side in Auckland. Afghanistan may just run into a keyed-up outfit determined to put that narrow loss behind them.
England seek surge against rallying Sri Lanka
If social media is to be believed, England's players have been enjoying themselves in Wellington. Several have been spotted in bars and restaurants.
Clash of the trans-Tasman Titans
When good neighbours become good friends. Perhaps not on Saturday at Eden Park when New Zealand and Australia renew a rivalry which, in one-day cricket, has been in hibernation apart from at global tournaments since 2010.
South Africa need to make statement
West Indies played the role of punching bags for AB de Villiers and his team during their recent bilateral series in South Africa
Fortunes of well-matched teams to diverge
There is a remarkable similarity in the route Afghanistan and Scotland have taken in this tournament so far. They registered big wins against each other in the two games they played in the UAE this January.
Ireland, UAE seek to keep shop window open
Ireland and the UAE represent two sides of the Associate coin. The Irish have emerged as the tightest unit outside the Full Members, many of their players fully professional via the English system, and their record at ICC events conspicuous for its gallantry. The UAE are a little more problematic, having never won a World Cup match in two appearances 19 years apart, their ranks occupied by journeymen amateurs of largely subcontinental origin.
Shaken England an opportunity for Scotland
Scotland face England in the 14th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 at Christchurch.
