The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 has gripped cricket fans world over, including police officers.

First, it was the Mumbai Police whose tweet before India vs Pakistan clash went viral on June 16th.

Cricket fans applauded Mumbai Police for their wittiness.

After Mumbai Police, it was Queensland Police's turn on Wednesday, who took to Twitter to celebrate Australia's win against arch-rivals England. 

“The tears of English cricket fans have made driving conditions tricky this morning. Drive safe Brisbane,” Queensland police tweeted on Wednesday morning.

Earlier this year, a Facebook post by New Zealand police on the cricket team’s humiliating loss against touring Indian cricket team had gone viral.

New Zealand’s Eastern District police posted a comment on its Facebook page making fun of the Kiwi team’s loss against Virat Kohli-led Indian team in first two one-days. The post warned ‘New Zealanders about the exploits of a group touring the country at the moment.’

“Police would like to issue a warning to members of the public about the exploits of a group touring the country at the moment. Witnesses report seeing this group badly assault an innocent looking bunch of New Zealanders in both Napier and Mt Maunganui in the last week. Extra care should be taken if you are carrying anything that looks like a cricket bat or ball,” the post, which has now been removed, read with a winking smiley at the end.

England in a do-or-die situation

England plays India on Sunday and experts believe it will not be easy for the English team.

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh on Twitter said England has two very tough games ahead.

Australia has secured their place in final four after winning 6 out of 7 matches played so far. They have lost only one game to India.
