Image
This Saturday begins in the Hagley Oval of Christchurch the eleventh World Cup of cricket jointly organized by New Zealand -end of the opening game- and Australia where on Sunday March 29 the final will be played in the imposing MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). Both countries were already co-organizers of the 1992 World Cup won by Pakistan . Worth of every team in psl Format of game 16 countries (including the debutant Afghanistan), divided into two groups of eight, will dispute a group phase of a month that will lead to direct eliminations of the quarterfinals, semifinals and final. The matches will be played in ODI format (One Day International), that is, with 300 balls for each team (divided into 50 overs of six pitches each), which will lead to each match lasting approximately eight hours. In each team there are eleven players, who battled in pairs, and it is about getting the maximum number of races possible before they eliminate ten of them (when there is only one player i...

Eight countries have risen to the podium: Australia (which has the record for medals with six and for titles with four), England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies (the grouping of 15 Caribbean countries of the former British Empire), Sri Lanka and Kenya. The record of titles followed is Australia with three to be champion in 1999, 2003 and 2007. The West Indies also won consecutive World Cups to win in the first two editions (1975 and 1979, both in England). The organizers who have been proclaimed world champions are Sri Lanka in 1996 (played in their territory four group matches but none eliminatory) and India in 2011 that opened the championship in Bangladesh but played the rest of the tournament in his country .

In cricket you can tie

Image
In the Test it is almost a miracle to see a draw - in 2156 matches there have been only two cases - but in the World Cup, as there are only 300 balls per team, it is more feasible and has happened four times, one in each of the four last World Cups. In 1999 they tied Australia and South Africa in 2003 South Africa and Sri Lanka, in 2007 Ireland and Zimbabwe and in 2011 India and England . WHAT`S NEW IN PSL 2018 AND NEW PLAYERS IN PESHAWAR ZALMI 2018   Four players finished a game without receiving any races, that is to say with 0.00 of economy , but three of them with only one ball thrown (the Pakistani Mohammad Yousuf threw a ball in all his race mundialista, in 2007 before Zimbabwe). The best economy for a minimum of 10 balls thrown is in the power of the Englishman, born in Hong Kong, Dermot Reeve who in 1992 against Pakistan launched five full overs (30 balls) and only received two runs for a 0.40 economy  

The greatest victories

Image
Because each team completes its 300 pitches at one time there are two ways to win in cricket, by races or by wickets . To win by races you have to hit first and eliminate the ten rival batters before they reach the mark established by the first team; To win by wickets you have to bat second and beat the runs scored by the opposing team before you eliminate all hitters . Thirteen times he has won a match for more than 200 races and the record is held by India who, in Port of Spain in 2007, defeated Bermuda by 257 races (413 to 156). India snatched the record to Australia that four years earlier had won by 256 races to Namibia. The maximum possible victory for wickets is to win by ten, that is, to overcome in races your rival when you have not eliminated any batter. Eleven times this has happened and the most outstanding was New Zealand against Kenya in 2011, which in only 48 balls and when they subtracted 252, had already improved the Kenyan brand without suffering eliminations ....

More and fewer races

Image
Psl schedule and teams 2018   In the biggest win in history (in 2007 against Bermuda) India set the career record with 413 (and five batters eliminated). The best mark without suffering eliminations has Pakistan with 349 races against Zimbabwe in 2007. And the best ratio is in possession of South Africa with 353 races in 40 overs (240 balls), that is, a ratio of 8.82 races per over , which It is as explained in cricket (another way would be to say 1.47 runs per ball). Negative records are owned by Canada. The one of total races established it in 2003 before Sri Lanka with 36 races and the one of ratio data of 1979 when the Canadians did before England a pauper one 1,11 races by over that is the worse mark in any ODI party (and they have been played more of 3600 throughout history).

Hat tricks

Image
The hat-trick is a word of cricket that has found accommodation in many other sports and that consists of eliminating three batters in three consecutive balls. The manner in which the elimination occurs, for example, by directly knocking down your wicket or catching the ball without a boat, is irrelevant. If you see a game it seems impossible to happen but in the World Cup it has happened seven times. The first was made to pray and occurred in the fourth edition of the championship, on October 31, 1987 in Nagpur (India) when the Indian Chetan Sharma eliminated three New Zealanders knocking down their wicket to all of them (only case in history). In 1999 it was obtained by the Pakistani Saqlain Mushtaq. In 2003 there were two cases thanks to Celeste Chaminda Vaas and Australian Brett Lee. In 2007 he did another Ceylon, Lasith Malinga, who, in the following shot to his hat-trick eliminated another South African batter. And in the last World Cup, in 2011, the Barbadian Kemar Roach...

Other individual records

Cricket is a sport crushed by statistics and there are many sections, both defensive and offensive. The most important are the achieved races, the ratio of races, the wickets and the economy (which is another ratio, specifically the one obtained by dividing the races received by the number of overs thrown, so the closer it is to zero the better)  New players in PSL 2018 . Gary Kirsten set the career record by scoring 188 against the United Arab Emirates in 1996. He was the second batter, meaning he participated from the start of the game, and was not eliminated. The New Zealander James Franklin scored 31 runs in only 8 balls against Canada in the last World Cup, a ratio of 387.50, more than a hundred points higher than the previous best mark. Siete wickets is the best record in World Cup history in a single match and has been produced three times. In 1983 the windie Winston Davis did it before Australia and twenty years later they equaled the English Andy Bichel (also again...
