The only way to follow a cricket match, not long ago, was on television, with perspective on the game delivered by the commentators. It’s a different world now.

While you may not watch every match this ICC Cricket World Cup, here are the social media accounts and hashtags you need to follow to help you keep updated.

Twitter Account: @bhogleharsha

Probably the most obvious choice on the list. The commentator and journalist has more than 8 million followers on the social media platform and insights on teams and players’ performance trends.

Don't look at past results with Pakistan cricket. Yesterday has little connection with today which means nothing when it comes to tomorrow. Just take what you get on the day.

Already Archer showing his value and class. And pace. There was never any doubt about his presence. He could play a big part in this World Cup.

England v SA on Thursday and people asking who Iâm backing...?

Here we go:

I left SA as a kid & got an unreal opportunity to fulfil a childhood dream. England did that for me & I ended up with 104 Test matches.

I have over the last 5/6 years been emotionally attached back...

West Indies v Pak: two mercurial teams that can be sizzlingly brilliant or hopelessly mediocre given their mood on the day. Should be fun. Who do you pick?

If South Africa manages to reach their target, it will be the fourth highest successful run chase in #CWC history.
But this will be the highest successful run chase in a CWC match between two major cricketing sides!#CWC19 #EngvSA #SAvEng #CWC2019
