The 2015 Cricket World Cup continues to enthrall, as we were treated to a pair of thoroughly entertaining fixtures in the latest round of Pool B fixtures.
In the first game of the day, South Africa suffered a shock defeat to a resurgent Pakistan side. The Proteas failed to chase down a modest target of 232 in the match, eventually losing by 29 runs despite a battling knock of 77 from captain AB de Villiers.
A tough game to follow, no doubt, but Ireland’s five-run win over Zimbabwe arguably topped it for drama. A century from Ed Joyce helped the men in green to an ominous score of 331/8 first up, and while a magnificent 121 from Brendan Taylor got his side close, they came up just short despite taking the match into the final over.
With some big scores smashed and some exemplary bowling on display, here’s how the overall standings in various individual classifications are shaping up after an absorbing day of action.
