  Australian captain Michael Clarke to retire from one-day cricket after final against New Zealand

29th March 2015, Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Australian captain Michael Clarke has announced that the World Cup final against New Zealand on Sunday will be the last time he plays ODI cricket. Clarke made the announcement at the pre-match press conference on the eve of the final in Melbourne. "I'm extremely thankful and grateful - I've just found out that tomorrow will be my 245th one-day game - it's been an honour and a priviledge to represent my country for that amount of games. I'm grateful to every player I have been lucky enough to play with and this team is no exception to that." "I think it is the right time for me and the Australian team. I was very fortunate four years ago to get the opportunity to captain this one-day team. That was really good preparation for me leading up to this World Cup, I think the next Australian captain deserves the same opportunity. I don't think it is realistic that I'll be fit and healthy and available to play the next World Cup so I believe it is the right time.

Game 45, Friday 20 March, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Australia

"India versus Australia semifinal is a bigger game than an India versus Pakistan match," Ganguly said on STAR Sports. The odds are in favour of four-time champions and co-hosts Australia, but Pakistan's unpredictable nature and four consecutive wins after a poor start to the tournament make them threatening opponents when the two teams face off in the quarters. Australia will start favourite to win their WC quarterfinal against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval on Friday not only because they have the team with the better all-round strength but also because there is a hint of fragility about the batting unit in Misbah-ul-Haq's team. Curiously, Australia captain Michael Clarke expects a wonderful, entertaining game.

Pool B, Match 39, Saturday 14 March, Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand India skipper MS Dhoni and Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor give out bytes to press-men post an engaging contest at Auckland. Here is Dhoni talking about himself and Suresh Raina. Dhoni and Raina are both supremely talented batsmen, with very different styles and techniques, but put them together, when the team is under pressure and they become India's 'super saver combo'. Dhoni and Raina are the most successful batting pair ever in ODI chases. Dhoni and Raina have scored over 1000 runs in 18 successful run chases while batting together.

The final 2015 WC group stage match for India and Zimbabwe at Eden Park on Saturday has been given added incentive for one of the teams: it will be Brendan Taylor's last international assignment before he leaves Zimbabwe on a three-year Kolpak deal with English county Nottinghamshire. It will, of course, not be easy. India have not lost a match in this tournament, and have ticked many boxes in doing so. Wins by 76 runs, 130 runs, nine wickets, four wickets and eight wickets have carried MS Dhoni's team into the knockouts on a wave of confidence and credibility - they had been beaten hollow in the preceding tri-series in Australia - and they will be eager to iron out any remaining creases before their quarter-final fixture.

Pool A, Match 37, Friday 13 March,Seddon Park, Hamilton, New Zealand.

Having sealed a quarterfinal spot for the first time, the Bangladesh cricket team will be banking on spin to create another upset in the ICC World Cup 2015 when it faces Group A leader New Zealand. Co-hosts New Zealand have looked in ominous form so far in the tournament while the confidence of Tigers from Bangladesh must be sky high post their famous win at Adelaide where they knocked England out of the tournament. New Zealand, with five wins in as many games, have already won the group and face the fourth-placed team from the other group in the quarters. Bangladesh are most likely to run into Pool B toppers India. Leading into the inconsequential game, both Bangladesh and New Zealand have made their intentions clear — they want to end the group stage on a high.
