The two World Cup matches of March 4, 2011 played Ahmedabad and Mirpur, Bangladesh were only one-sided matches throughout. Probably, both New Zealand and West Indies might have enjoyed the easiest and least strenuous victory they can expect in a World Cup tournament. However, both the teams can celebrate the victory as the matches were crucial for them.

The New Zealand players strictly followed the advice from their bowling coach Allan Donald and really presented a clinical performance. They stunningly defeated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets and made themselves nearer to a quarter final berth – just one more win required.

The 50s scored by the Kiwi openers Martin Guptill and Brenden McCullum really scattered the Zimbabwe team.

Irrespective of a track which is very friendly to batsmen, the Zimbabwe put up a miserable performance. Their total of 162 was too little for the Kiwis. The Zimbabwe skipper Elton Chigumbura seemed to be still in poor form.

At Mirpur, West Indies advanced their stride towards the World Cup Quarter finals with their easy win over Bangladesh by nine wickets. Bangladesh was dismissed after 18.5 overs with a meager 58 runs. Just 12.2 overs was enough for the West Indies to meet the smallest target in the World Cup and thus the day-night match ended in the day itself. The opening batsman of Bangladesh Tamim Iqbal was out with the third ball without taking any run to his credit. Another batsman Mushfiqur Rahim also was out for no runs due to the catch by Ramnaresh Sarwan of New Zealand at short-mid-wicket.  The cricket fans of Bangladesh had to witness the falling of Bangladesh wickets in an unprecedented quick succession. The three West Indian Bowlers captain Darren Sammy, Suleiman Benn and Kemar Roach were able to send all the Bangladesh batsmen back. Only two of them – Junaid Siddique and Mohammed Ashraful could score in double digits.

The players of a favorite team are having another risk in these days – when their team fails in a match they have to face allegations of match-fixing. Players of Sri Lanka and Australia are already in the trap due to the unexpected defeats the teams had in the  World Cup.

Sri Lanka lost to Pakistan by 11 runs and the defeat was devastating for the defending champion and that too at the hands of Pakistan which was believed as a weak team this time. The former captain of Sri Lanka Mahela Jayawardene lost for just two runs and Thilan Samaraveera also was dismissed very easily.

A state run TV channel of Sri Lanka reported that a local businessman placed a bet for Sri Lanka loosing the game for $ 18000. The TV Channel argued that had Jayawardene and Samaraveera pair scored more runs, the out come of the match would have been different.

Mahela Jayawardene is considering suing the TV network for the false allegations. It may be recalled that many Sri Lankan players had been grilled in the past by the ICC over match-fixing.

The match played between Australia and Zimbabwe on Feb. 21 also has become controversial. Australia batted first in the match and the opening batsmen Shane Watson and Brad Haddin could score just 28 runs in the first 11 overs. The two batsmen are considered as the most aggressive openers in ODI. Basit Ali, a former Pakistani cricketer told a Pakistan TV channel it was a clear case of spot-fixing.

The ICC has decided to conduct a probe into the performance of the Australian batsmen in the match against Zimbabwe. The Australian openers Shane Watson and Brad Haddin are suspected of helping to bet irregularities.

The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of ICC is keeping close vigil on all matches in the World Cup and as a result the slow start by the Australian batsmen have come under investigation.
