The Numbers Game

The knockout stage of the ICC World Cup 2015 is almost upon us after an exhilarating Group Stage filled with feats and records. 42 matches lead to a lot of numbers to crunch and digest, but we have tried our best to process, arrange, and present the Group Stage stats to you in an exclusive and entertaining format.  It was a combined effort of The Daily Star Sports team's two newest members, Saaber Shoyeb and Ekram Hossain who have compiled all the facts and figures. We believe it's an effort worth reflecting on for our readers after an absorbing four weeks where the Tigers were the beats of millions.
