Here’s our regular update on the competition, featuring a look at the Matchday 3 games that took place over Gameweek 33. We also have some fun handing out some Matchday Awards and a look ahead to Matchday 4. Please use this article for all tournament chat.

MATCHDAY 3 RESULTS

The final Matchday 3 results have been updated in the Cup spreadsheet and we can reveal that after a hard-fought round, Bangladesh and South Africa top Groups A and B respectively.

In Group A, four teams are on four points apiece. One more win for any of those four teams will guarantee them a place in the knockouts. Scotland with two and Sri Lanka with no points may be lagging behind but are still very much in the race for qualification.

In Group B, South Africa and West Indies are through to the knockouts, courtesy of their unbeaten run. All the remaining four teams still stand a chance to take the remaining two knockouts spots.

Congratulations to all the victorious teams and a reminder to those that lost that everyone is still in this hunt for glory.

Sachin Tendulkar Award for the best batting lineup – WI with 658 runs

Salma Hayek Overnight Award for the player of the week – Never Trust Bony with 70 runs from IND

    I think the differentials in the Trans-Tasmanian 😉 clash are this:

    Australia:
    De Gea, Krul, Harper, Courtois
    Skrtel x4, Terry x2, Baines, Schlupp, Bertrand
    Sterling x2, Bolasie x2, Silva
    Ulloa, N'Doye

    +12

    NZ:
    Davis, Mignolet x3
    Toby x3, Kolarov, McShane, Wollscheid, Smalling, Moreno
    Fabregas x2, Coutinho x2, Young 😯
    Costa, Aguero, Giroud

          A Kane goal would make it a very long weekend for me. Double Soton defence and Kane on the bench with -8 could see months of work ruined.

            Depends on WHY he did it (or didn't).

            Simply forgot or tried to be clever and hide it from his opponents.

            In any case, I hope he did it for himself and not for "The Team".
