Minnows Beat Each Other Up

Bangladesh beats Scotland

Zimbabwe beats Bermuda

Ireland beats Canada

Kenya beats Netherlands

Some Observations:

Bangladesh is running high on confidence. They trashed Zimbabwe prior to the world cup and had a great time beating New Zealand two days ago. India and Sri Lanka better watch out. An off day in the field from either of these teams might be enough for an upset win for Bangladesh.

Dwayne Leverock bowled his 10 overs for 54 runs but took 2 wickets.

Jon Davison, the Canadian team captain, is in horrendous form. He lit up the last world cup with his big hitting and hopefully, he will find his batting form soon.

In the ground (Jamaica, Greenfields) where India made 300/9, Kenya, batting first, made 274/8 and Netherlands, chasing 274, made 265/9. Suddenly, 300 runs doesn't sound that impressive.
