ODI World Cup: Records set to be broken in title clash

Dubai, The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket (<keyword id="6354756" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci" source="Orion">BCCI</keyword>) have joined forces to unveil a new campaign ahead of the <keyword id="6974355" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="icc-mens-cricket-world-cup" source="Orion">ICC Men's Cricket World Cup</keyword> in India later this year. The 'It Takes One Day' campaign was launched in Mumbai on Thursday just 77 days out from the first match at this year's World Cup, with the campaign aiming to connect fans across the world to the 'Navarasa' which symbolises the nine emotions fans most commonly experience during a cricket match. A film featuring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan - along with renowned cricketers JP Duminy, Shubman Gill, Dinesh Karthik, current World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan, <keyword id="26689" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="muttiah-muralitharan" source="Orion">Muttiah Muralitharan</keyword>, <keyword id="86138" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jonty-rhodes" source="Orion">Jonty Rhodes</keyword> and Jemimah Rodrigues - was released in conjunction with the campaign launch and showcases many decorated moments in the history of the Men's Cricket World Cup. The campaign displays the journey of raw emotions experienced by both players and fans collectively over One Day, with the film connecting the nine 'Navarasa' emotions - anguish, bravery, glory, joy, passion, power, pride, respect and wonder - and explores how it takes one day to experience this rollercoaster. ICC CEO Geoff Allardice was thrilled to launch the campaign and is eagerly awaiting the commencement of the World Cup in Ahmedabad on October 5. "This campaign is a true celebration of One Day International cricket and builds a sense of anticipation of what we can expect when the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 returns to India. The emotions, or Navarasa, are felt by fans and players alike during One Day and this campaign brings to life that shared experience," Allardice said in a statement. "Cricket and cinema are at the heart of Indian psyche, and we've infused the two to create appeal far and wide. The involvement of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan together with an exceptional line-up of cricketers will only help us deepen our connect in this country, while captivating the attention worldwide." BCCI secretary Jay Shah echoed Allardice's sentiments. "The ODI format holds an unparalleled significance with its ability to deliver thrilling moments, intense battles, and unpredictable outcomes that will truly captivate fans globally. As we embark on this journey, we are proud to see the launch of the Men's Cricket World Cup campaign and create real excitement for the event across the world," he said. "We are fully committed to creating a world-class event that will witness the birth of a new generation of heroes, providing fans with unforgettable experiences and we believe the campaign does this. The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India will be a celebration of cricketing excellence, cultural diversity, and the unifying spirit of the game." --IANS cs

Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Ahead of the <keyword id="3859" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket-world-cup" source="Orion">cricket World Cup</keyword> 2023, actress <keyword id="6357860" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anushka-sharma" source="Orion">Anushka Sharma</keyword> exchanged a fun banter with Indian cricketer and husband <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword>, regarding the tickets of the tournament.

The tournament will begin with defending champions England taking on New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Taking to Instagram stories, Virat shared a post, which read as: “As we approach the World Cup, I would humbly like to let all my friends know to not request me for tickets at all through the tournament. Enjoy from your homes pls." Anushka also took to Instagram stories and shared Virat’s post. The actress added to the message saying: “And let me just add ... please don't request me to help if your messages get unanswered. Thank you for your understanding." Earlier, Anushka, whose pregnancy rumours are swirling around, refused to pose for the photographers adding more fuel to the speculations around her pregnancy. The rumours of her being pregnant with her second child started over the weekend. So far, the actress has not responded to the rumours and has maintained a silence. Anushka, who started her Bollywood career with the Aditya Chopra directorial ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ opposite Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, married Virat in December 2017. The couple welcomed their first child, their daughter Vamika on January 11, 2021. Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress will be soon seen essaying the role of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami, who is known as one of the fastest (female) bowlers of all times and is considered as one of the greatest bowlers (female) to ever play the sport. The film marks the return of Anushka to the screen after a hiatus of five years.

All 10 teams will play each other once and the top four will enter the knockouts or semi finals. This means a total of 45 matches will be played, with each team playing a total of nine matches before the knockout games.

 The last time this format was tried in a cricket world cup was in 1992 in Australia. That was the first white balls were used in cricket and the players wore coloured jerseys. That was also the year South Africa was admitted back into international cricket after 21 years of boycott due to the apartheid. The team from Pakistan led by the iconic Imran Khan, who is now the country's President, won the trophy that year, while the English team became the runner up. Going into this tournament, India is one of the favourites. The team has topped the International Cricket Council's (ICC) one-day international rankings since the start of 2018, with victories against South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand since then other than one lost series against England.

Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played in the same format as the one in 1992

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [<keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>], September 25 (ANI): Courtesy of their resounding win over Australia in the second ODI at Indore, India will go into the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 with momentum on their side. India's win in Indore has ensured that they go into the Cricket World Cup as the No. 1 side in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings. Before the start of the series, The Men in Blue needed at least two wins to go into the marquee event at home at the top. India reached the ODI Rankings summit after winning the first ODI against Australia at Mohali. They will now continue to reign supreme across all formats as the number one team, having already occupied the top spot in Tests and T20Is. India is placed at the top spot with 117 rating points, while Pakistan sit at second with 115 rating points. Australia, on the other hand, slipped further and is third with 110 points. This is only the second time in men's cricketing history that a side has achieved the No.1 ranking across the formats. Prior to this, only South Africa had achieved the feat back in August 2012. India needed to win the second ODI to ensure their reign at the top of the rankings continues and they did it in some style with a thorough all-round performance. Coming to the match, India was put to bat first by Australia. A 200-run partnership for second wicket between Shubman Gill (104 in 97 balls, six fours and four sixes) and <keyword id="982208" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shreyas-iyer" source="Orion">Shreyas Iyer</keyword> (105 in 90 balls, 11 fours and three sixes) laid the foundation for something big. Later, half-centuries from skipper KL Rahul (52 in 38 balls, with three fours and three sixes) and <keyword id="496245" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="suryakumar-yadav" source="Orion">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword> (72* in 37 balls with six fours and six sixes) and a cameo from Ishan Kishan (31 in 18 balls with two fours and two sixes) pushed India to 399/5 in 50 overs. Cameron Green took two wickets for Australia but gave away 103 runs. Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott and Adam Zampa took a wicket each. In the chase of 400, Australia was reduced to 9/2 and rain interrupted the action. Following resumption of action, the target was 317 in 33 overs. An 80-run stand between David Warner (53 in 39 balls, seven fours and a six) and Marnus Labuschagne (27) stabilised the innings a bit. But after this, wickets kept falling and the Aussies sunk to 140/8. A 77-run explosive partnership between Abbott (54 in 36 balls with four boundaries and five sixes) and Josh Hazlewood (23) entertained the audience, but the Aussies were bundled out for 217 in 28.2 overs, losing by 99 runs. <keyword id="200030" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravichandran-ashwin" source="Orion">Ravichandran Ashwin</keyword> was the pick of the bowlers for India with 3/41, with his spin partner <keyword id="6359948" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravindra-jadeja" source="Orion">Ravindra Jadeja</keyword> getting 3/42. Prasidh Krishna got two wickets while Mohammed Shami got one. India has won the series 2-0 with one match to go. Shreyas Iyer was awarded the 'Player of the Match' award for his century.

The battle for the final semifinal spot is on between New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan, who are at fourth, fifth and sixth spot with eight points and four wins.

New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka at Bengaluru on Thursday. It is a battle between Kiwis' aspirations for the CWC semifinal spot and Lankan Lions' aim to gain a spot in ICC Champions Trophy 2025, a privilege reserved for the top eight teams of this tournament, including hosts Pakistan.

Cricket World Cup 2019: Odds of India winning improve while batting second

Mumbai: Former Indian head coach and batting legend <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword> opened up on a potential Bollywood gig in future. Dravid, considered one of the finest batters to have not lifted a <keyword id="19978077" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket-World-Cup" source="keywords">Cricket World Cup</keyword>, was finally able to fulfil this dream of his as a coach with India defeating South Africa in a thrilling final by seven runs to capture the ICC T20 World Cup, ending their 11-year ICC title drought. With this, Dravid ended his stint with the Indian team as a head coach on a high. The 51-year-old has won the hearts of cricketing fans and experts throughout his cricketing and coaching career, both for his steely defence and composure and ability to create a positive, supportive atmosphere for players in the dressing room as a coach of the Indian team. During a Q&amp;A session during the CEAT Cricket Awards, Dravid responded hilariously when asked about the actor he would pick to play himself in a <keyword id="394815" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="biopic" source="Orion">biopic</keyword>, saying, "If the money is good enough, I will play it myself." Speaking on what changed between India's 10-match win streak which ended with a heartbreaking loss to Australia in the 50-over World Cup last year and this year's undefeated run to the ICC T20 World Cup title, Dravid said that the team could not have done anything different in terms of preparation, plans and execution and they did not want to change anything. "Honestly, I did not want to do anything different. I think we ran a fantastic campaign in the one-day World Cup, Rohit and the team, everyone involved in that one-day World Cup, we ran a superb campaign. There's nothing we could have done more in terms of our preparation, the planning, the execution of what we needed to do for 10 games in a row to dominate, to win the game we did, play the game we did," said Dravid. "I did not want to change anything. If you had asked me and we had a discussion with our support staff, we would get together with the coaches and say, what do you think we should do differently?" The common consensus (among the team) was we needed to do exactly what we did. We need to create the same energy, create the same vibe, the same team atmosphere that we had and then just hope that on the day, we will have a little bit of luck," he added. Dravid said that he was never a part of a home World Cup as a player and to travel all over the country and experience the passion of fans was a phenomenal experience to him. "To travel all over this country and to be able to experience that joy and passion of the fans. I have never been a part of a World Cup as a player in India, but just the experience as a coach to go from city to city and just walk and see what this game meant to the people of this country was phenomenal. It was incredible," Dravid said. "I thought we ran a phenomenal campaign. We came unstuck in the final and Australia played better cricket than us on the day. They were a better team and congratulations (to them). That can happen in sport and that's what sport is about," he added. Notably, during the title clash in November last year, Australia restricted India to just 240 runs, despite a fine start by skipper Rohit Sharma (47) and half-centuries by KL Rahul (66) and Virat Kohli (54). Mitchell Starc (3/55) and skipper Pat Cummins (2/34) unleashed heavy damage on Indian batters. Though Australia was off to a shaky start too with the scoreline reading 47/3 at one point, Travis Head (137*) and Marnus (58*) took the Aussies to their sixth 50-over crown with six wickets in hand. The 26th edition of the awards honoured a distinguished group of cricketers and sports leaders who showcased exceptional talent and leadership throughout the year. Phil Salt was celebrated as the Men's T20I Batter of the Year, while Tim Southee earned the title of Men's T20I Bowler of the Year. In recognition of his tactical brilliance, Shreyas Iyer received the Award for Outstanding Leadership for winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Sai Kishore was recognized as the Domestic Cricketer of the Year for his consistent performances on the domestic circuit. Virat Kohli took home the Men's ODI Batter of the Year award, and Mohammad Shami was named the Men's ODI Bowler of the Year. The Award for Most Matches as a Captain in Women's T20I History was awarded to Harmanpreet Kaur, while Yashashvi Jaiswal and Ravichandran Ashwin were honoured as the Men's Test Batter of the Year and Men's Test Bowler of the Year, respectively. On the women's side, Deepti Sharma was named the Women's Indian Bowler of the Year, and Smriti Mandhana earned the title of Women's Indian Batter of the Year. The Award for the Fastest Double Century in Women's Test went to Shafali Verma, while Jay Shah was recognized with the Award for Excellence in Sports Administration for their significant contributions to the sport. For his glorious contribution to the world of cricket, Rahul Dravid was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

During other matches – sometimes, even when India is bowling – the viewer numbers dropped significantly, to less than half of it. This outsized interest in team India is the source of the clout of BCCI (Board of <keyword id="1521" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket">Cricket</keyword> Control in India) at the International Cricket Council (ICC). This was what Hasan Minhaj highlighted in his Netflix show, Patriot Act. Both the ICC Cricket World Cup and the Indian Premier League (IPL) bring in billions in ad revenues and sponsorships, and millions in viewership. However, it seems like this edition of the World Cup is off to a slow start. Star vs Hotstar The opening World Cup match between England and South Africa clocked a reach of 114 million on television alone, according to a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/icc-world-cup-opening-match-records-reach-of-114-million-viewership/articleshow/69678607.cms">report</a>. According to <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/icc-cwc-final-star-sports-travel-firms-pad-up-for-july-14-super-sunday-119060501129_1.html">reports</a>, from the last World Cup, the semi-final between India and Australia saw over 309 million impressions. The data for the latest India versus Australia clash is not out yet. However, if online viewership on Hotstar in India is any sign, the number of live viewers online at any point has ranged anywhere between 2 million and 8 million in the matches so far. This number did not even touch a quarter of IPL’s numbers. The IPL 2019 final between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians saw over 18 million concurrent viewers at one point. The IPL matches this year that ended in May saw a total reach of 462 million through <a href="https://www.insidesport.co/vivo-ipl-2019-462-million-tune-into-star-sports-netw/">television </a>alone. Hot on Hotstar Hotstar, during IPL alone, had garnered an excess of 300 million unique users and also witnessed a 74% increase in watch-time as compared to last year. And, it was hoping for more from the World Cup. “We aim to continue delivering an uninterrupted and immersive cricket watching experience not just to the domestic consumers, but to global audiences in the US and Canada as well,” Varun Narang, Chief Product Officer, Hotstar had then, said in a statement. With the numbers on its side, the streaming platform had also announced Dream 11, Uber Eats, Amazon Pay and Coca Cola as the co-presenting sponsors this year, while the associate sponsors include Royal Challenge, Acko, CEAT, and ICICI Lombard. Big ad spends With such massive records being set in viewership, brands are obviously leveraging from the World Cup too. According to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/advertising/ad-spend-may-go-through-the-roof-this-world-cup/articleshow/69669540.cms">reports</a>, indian businesses are reportedly spending ₹10-₹12 billion during the World Cup on advertising. Obviously, the numbers are bigger for India matches alone. In an interview with <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/sports-trends/sports-advertising-to-boom-during-icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-4044111.html">Moneycontrol,</a> MK Machaiah, President Content+, Mindshare, South Asia, said, “The cost for an India match is ₹2 million onwards for 10 seconds. Over ₹ 1 million lakh is for all match packages. The sponsorship package is ₹ 400 million onwards on television and digital sponsorship is over ₹150 million." Cricket accounted for 93% of all sports viewership in India in 2018, according to a BARC India <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/cricket-draws-93-of-sports-viewers-in-india-barc-119060400786_1.html">report.</a> And, this was before the World Cup. So far this year, the IPL has proved to be a bigger crowd puller than the World Cup, though there are still a few interesting games to follow, like the high-tension clash against Pakistan on Sunday (May 16). And as the tournament progresses, the interest level is likely to rise.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 viewership so far on Hotstar is far from the IPL peak

India have qualified for the final of the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup after their semi-final clash against <keyword id="6355981" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="england">England</keyword> got washed out at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday. Persistent rain since morning delayed the toss and eventually the semi-final had to be called off without a ball being bowled. India have made it to their first-ever T20 World Cup final by virtue of finishing at the top of the points table in Group A with eight points.

England, on the other hand, had finished Group B at the second spot with six points. India captain <keyword id="535545" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Harmanpreet-Kaur">Harmanpreet Kaur</keyword> expressed disappointment after the game got cancelled and said: "It is unfortunate not to get a game due to the weather. But that's how the rules go. In future, it would be nice to have a reserve day. From day one, we knew that we have to win all the games because if in case we don't get any play in the semi-finals, it will be hard for us." Harmanpreet also credited the team for their comprehensive wins in the group stage and hoped they would be able to replicate the performance in the final to be played at the MCG on Sunday, which co-incides with the International Women's Day. "As a team, we just want to go out there and play our best cricket. I feel that if we can play our best cricket, we will have a strong chance. We aren't thinking about whom we want to face and just focusing on our game," she said. Meanwhile, England captain Heather Knight said it was frustrating for her team as they didn't want their World Cup campaign to end in such a manner. "It's frustrating. We didn't want the World Cup to end this way but not much you can do about this. It would have been good to have a reserve day perhaps," Heather said. Earlier, <keyword id="44302" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket-Australia">Cricket Australia</keyword> had made a last-minute request of having a reserve day for the semi-finals. Cricket Australia's chief executive Kevin Roberts on Wednesday revealed that the request was made to the ICC, which the apex body declined. India will face the winner of the other semi-final between Australia and South Africa to be played at the same venue.
