The first weekend of the Super 12 brought few major surprises as New Zealand saw off Australia, England swept aside Afghanistan, Sri Lanka bested Ireland and Bangladesh survived a late scare to beat the Netherlands. Farcical scenes in the rain, with players sustaining injuries due to slippery conditions underfoot, eventually curtailed South Africa's derby encounter with Zimbabwe, but the tournament highlight so far was India's last-gasp charge to steal victory from Pakistan, complete with umpiring controversies and Virat Kohli at his six-smoking best.
