Live Mint  

Virat Kohli’s masterclass in the demolition of South Africa at the Eden Gardens. England’s aggression comes unstuck: The biggest story of the World Cup is the sinking of the defending champions to the lowest position in the league. Ben Stokes hitting out in desperation against India’s Mohammed Shami, nearly a month later on 29 October, after being pinned down by the seam wizard, epitomised England’s confusion. Of course, it’s the first time they’re playing there, so it has taken a little bit of time to get used to the conditions.” When Pakistan return to the Eden Gardens to play their last game against England this Saturday, they will be better prepared after their win over Bangladesh there. At this World Cup, barring their initial victory over England, New Zealand have lost against all the major teams: India, Australia, South Africa, and Pakistan.
