14 teams competed in the ''group stage'' of the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]] which took place between 9 February and 4 March 2003. The top ten nations with Test status participated. They were joined by 4 affiliate members, [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] being a co-host. The other three teams had to qualify from the [[2001 ICC Trophy|ICC Trophy]]. |
|||
Both group stages had games mainly held in [[South Africa]]. All of [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]]'s group games were held in [[Zimbabwe]] and two of Kenya's games were held in [[Kenya]]. 9 of the games would be Day/Night matches starting at 2:30. This seemed to give the team batting first an advantage. Each group contained 7 teams with each team playing each other once. There were four points awarded for a win and two points awarded for a tie or no result. If teams were ranked even on points, [[net run rate]] would decide the ranking order. |
|||
The top three teams in each group progressed to the Super Six stage of the competition. |

The World Cup started with the hosts kicking off the tournament against two-time winners [[West Indies national cricket team|West Indies]]. [[Captain (cricket)|Captains]] [[Shaun Pollock]] and [[Carl Hooper]] tossed the coin with Hooper winning and choosing to bat first. So, [[Chris Gayle]] and [[Wavell Hinds]] came out to bat against the opening attack of [[Shaun Pollock]] and [[Makhaya Ntini]]. West Indies struggled at the start of the innings with the first three overs producing three [[Maiden over|maidens]]. 4 runs were scored when [[Shaun Pollock|Pollock]] got [[Wavell Hinds]] to produce a thin edge to [[Mark Boucher]]. [[Brian Lara]] came out to bat and had an enormous amount of luck when he edged [[Makhaya Ntini|Ntini]] of his first ball to [[Jacques Kallis]]. However, he dropped the ball as he went one-handed to his left. [[Shaun Pollock|Pollock]] removed [[Chris Gayle|Gayle]] as well but [[Brian Lara|Lara]] and [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] re-built steadily. [[Allan Donald]] came on and conceded the first boundary of the tournament in the 13th over. He also conceded the first six as [[Brian Lara]] produced a big drive over long-off. The pair brought up a 100 partnership but [[Lance Klusener]] got [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul|Chanderpaul]] to edge behind on 34. [[Brian Lara|Lara]] got past 50 and was marching onto a hundred as he and [[Carl Hooper|Hooper]] were also starting to establish a solid partnership. [[Brian Lara|Lara]] brought up his hundred with a dab to third man. [[Carl Hooper]] was caught on the boundary for 40 and [[Brian Lara|Lara]] was dismissed for 116 slicing a big shot, [[Makhaya Ntini]] claiming both wickets. [[Ricardo Powell]] and [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]] came out to bat and took an aggressive approach. They brought up a 50 partnership off 21 balls as the innings ended on 278-5. In reply, [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] came out to bat and they had to chase 279 of 49 overs due to a slow over rate in the West Indies innings. [[Herschelle Gibbs]] and [[Gary Kirsten]] got them off to a good start. They raced to 46 within 9 overs before [[Mervyn Dillon]] removed [[Herschelle Gibbs|Gibbs]] who edge behind to [[Ridley Jacobs]]. [[Gary Kirsten]] batted nicely to register a [[half century]] but he saw partners [[Boeta Dippenaar]], [[Jacques Kallis]] and [[Jonty Rhodes]] get dismissed, [[Carl Hooper]] being the main wicket taker. [[Mervyn Dillon|Dillon]] came back on to then remove [[Gary Kirsten]] for 69. [[Captain (cricket)|Captain]] [[Shaun Pollock]] was dismissed shortly afterwards to leave [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] 160-6. [[Mark Boucher]] and 1999 World Cup player of the tournament [[Lance Klusener]] came together in a disappointing position. Both played aggressively especially against occasional spinners [[Chris Gayle]] and [[Carl Hooper]]. [[Mark Boucher|Boucher]] made a run-a-ball 49 before he was clean [[bowled]] by [[Chris Gayle|Gayle]]. [[Lance Klusener]] got past 50 and the game went to the final over. [[Vasbert Drakes]] bowled it and there was 8 needed of 4 balls. After a lengthy plan, [[Carl Hooper]] (the captain) was sent to the boundary by [[Vasbert Drakes|Drakes]]. The plan worked as a [[full toss]] was hammered to [[Carl Hooper|Hooper]]. After a dot ball to [[Makhaya Ntini]], the next ball 8 was needed of 2 balls. [[Vasbert Drakes|Drakes]] bowled a full wide ball which [[Makhaya Ntini|Ntini]] smashed in the air to [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]] on the point boundary. Despite, [[Nicky Boje]] hitting a boundary of the final ball, [[West Indies national cricket team|West Indies]] had beaten [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] by 3 runs. A poor start for the hosts who needed to bounce back from this. As for [[West Indies national cricket team|West Indies]], they would take confidence from this into the rest of their group games and they would be confident of qualifying from the group now. |

[[Namibia national cricket team|Namibia]]'s first ever [[One Day International|ODI]] was against [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] in [[Zimbabwe]]. There were many critics wondering whether [[Zimbabwe]] should host a World Cup match but the [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] were sticking with them. In sunshine, [[Craig Wishart]] and [[Mark Vermeulen]] came out to bat after [[Namibia national cricket team|Namibian]] [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] [[Deon Kotze]] elected to field. This seemed to be a poor decision after [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] and in particular [[Craig Wishart]] raced away to a good start. [[Craig Wishart|Wishart]] got [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] off to a great start when he hit three boundaries in the second over of the innings. |
