Do they count the performances from these practice matches into the players ODI career stats ?

Doubt it. Would hope not, anyway.

No they don't, as they are not xi vs xi.

We played 12 a side a couple of weeks ago. Today's game vs Sri Lanka is 13 a side.

Players per side
13(11 batting, 11 fielding)

In theory that should make the game a better standard, so I'd think the game counts more than a random dead rubber 8 months out from the world cup, but whatever.

England absolutely smashed (literally) Afghanistan

Chasing down 160 England knocked the runs off in 17 overs

Jason Roy 89* off of 46

[The Dark Knight]

Aussies won last night by 5 wickets, chasing down Sri Lanka's 239. Khawaja opened and top scored with 89 from 105.

As Locky posted above England smashed Afghanistan by 9 wickets. England are definitely the favourites, such a dynamic team but we'll see how they go against, Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa in a pressure match against world class bowlers.

On tonight is-
West Indies v New Zealand
West Indies currently 1/125 from 15 overs

Bangladesh v India
India currently 1/32 from 9 overs

Just 2 days until the real stuff, England v South Africa at the Oval on Thursday night

Really exciting World Cup ahead. Most even we have had for years, as an English fan it’s really exciting to go in as favourites and to see how our game stands up in the big moments. Australia will be really hard to beat but after Starc and Cummins not sure the bowling is as good as usual, Smith and Warner will be awesome though with the bat. I’m not sold on india, England has never been a good place for them to play but kohli is obviously a superstar as well as bumrah with the ball. The dark horses are the kiwis and windies, kiwis are always reliable in big tournaments without ever being good enough to win. The windies have a lot of batting talent and could make some big scores but not sure they can defend them. South Africa’s bowling might be the best in the cup but a lot rests on de cock, Amla and du plessis with the bat, the rest of the teams are just making up the numbers but hopefully they cause an upset or two.

In terms of an even spread of contributors England, New Zealand and to a lesser extent Australia have more than India. They will rely heavily on Kolhi and Bumrah to win matches, with support from Dhawan and Sharma with the bat and Shami and Jadeja with the ball, I feel as though the English conditions are less favorable to them than the other top teams.

NZ are my dark horse, got some class with the bat and ball mixed in with some solid second tier players. The West Indies look dangerous and might possibly be less of a rabble on this occasion.

Like you said it looks to be an even tournament, really looking forward to it and seeing what happens.

Well the Windies turned that on, small grounds will play right into their hands if that innings is anything to go by

All out for 421 with most getting good starts

The NZ bowlers took a pounding but none more so than Matt Henry 9 overs for 107

I think they're a real smokey at 19's.
