 * Hi, please see my comments below:
 * Lead
 * with both teams scoring 241 add runs
 * Qualification
 * Ireland also missed the competition for the first time since 2003 link 2003 Cricket World Cup
 * Venues
 * All of the venues used are in England except for Sophia Gardens, which is in Wales add this ref
 * Refs are required for the capacity figures
 * Capacity of The Oval is 25,500 according to
 * Match officials
 * Swap David Boon and Chris Broad to correctly list alphabetically
 * Warm-up matches
 * These matches did not have One Day International (ODI) status include that they did not List A status either and add this ref
 * Opening ceremony
 * Jaya Ahsan, Damayanthi Dharsha, Chris Hughes, Sean Fitzpatrick and Pat Cash attending the opening ceremony is not supported by the ref
 * Add that prior to the ceremony a reception was held at Buckingham Palace where the Queen and Prince Harry welcomed the ten captains.
 * Group stage
 * The top four teams from the group stage progressed to the knockout stage. If teams were tied on points, then the number of wins and then the net run rate was used to separate them. add ref
 * A similar format was previously used in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, though that tournament featured nine teams instead of ten. add this ref
 * Week 1
 * the West Indies bowled out Pakistan for just 105 add the lowest completed innings score of the tournament (ref)
 * At the Oval, in the fifth match of the group stage → The Oval
 * as South Africa fell short by 21 runs technically South Africa fell short [of their target] by 22 runs but they lost by 21 runs.
 * The following day saw Pakistan cause an upset over one of the tournament favourites, as they beat England by 14 runs at Trent Bridge. This was despite Joe Root (107) and Jos Buttler (103) both scoring centuries in the chase, as they became the first and second batsmen to score hundreds at the tournaments. add that England became the first team in World Cup history to lose despite having two century-makers. also add this ref which explicitly lists Root and Buttler as the first two to score a century in this World Cup.
 * Sri Lanka got off to a good start in their game against Afghanistan in Cardiff, reaching 144/1 in the 21st over. This was before three wickets in five balls from Mohammad Nabi provided the catalyst for a collapse that saw Sri Lanka bowled out for 201. Kusal Perera top-scored for Sri Lanka with 78, while Nabi took another wicket to finish with four for the innings. Rain reduced Afghanistan's innings to 41 overs, but by the 14th over, they had already fallen to 57/5. A partnership of 64 from Najibullah Zadran (who top-scored with 43) and Gulbadin Naib steadied the innings for Afghanistan, but it was not enough, with Nuwan Pradeep taking two quick wickets as Afghanistan fell 34 runs short of their revised target. At five sentences long, this is longest summary for any match in the group stage. Suggest trimming this one back.
 * the Black Caps went from 160/2 to 191/5 chasing 244 New Zealand's target was 245
 * Week 2
 * with Australia having an early batting collapse to fall to 38/4 early in their innings against the West Indies early is mentioned twice, suggest removing the first
 * In Taunton, a five-wicket haul from Kiwi bowler James Neesham add it was his maiden ODI five-wicket haul
 * In the run chase, Australia were behind the required run rate for much of their innings, despite half-centuries from David Warner, Steve Smith and Alex Carey, and were bowled out for 316, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah taking three wickets each. Split this long sentence.
 * Week 3
 * after going off after the eighth over → after leaving the field in the eighth over
 * This was thanks to a century from Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who scored 124 from 99 balls as they chased down the target of 322. In the West Indies' innings, Shai Hope top-scored with 96 runs from 121 balls as he and Evin Lewis (70) got the West Indies to 321/8 from their 50 overs. Reverse these sentences as the West Indies batted first and also add that this was Bangladesh's highest successful run chase in ODIs and that this was the second highest successful run chase in World Cup history
 * leading the hosts to a total of 397/6, the highest total of the tournament so far remove 'so far' as it ended up being the highest
 * Hashmatullah Shahidi managed 76 in response for Afghanistan, but they were always behind the required rate and fell 150 runs short, managing 247 from their 50 overs. Afghanistan fell 151 runs short of their target for victory and move ref 68 to the end of this sentence.
 * Week 4
 * Week four saw David Warner score 166, aided by a score of 89 from Usman Khawaja in Nottingham. Australia's total of 381/5 proved out of reach for Bangladesh, despite Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim getting them within 48 runs of the target. Expand on this to included that Warner's 166 was the highest individual innings of the tournament ; that Bangladesh's 333/8 was their new highest total in ODIs surpassing the record they set against South Africa 18 days earlier; and that the 714 runs scored is the highest match aggregate in a World Cup match.
 * Stokes, who was left stranded on 82* replace asterisk with 'not out'
 * England fell 20 short all out 21 runs short
 * saw Afghanistan fall 11 runs short 12 runs short
 * within five runs of the target six runs
 * caught by Trent Boult at long on link Fielding (cricket)
 * as New Zealand won by only five runs remove 'only'
 * Week 5
 * The fifth week of the tournament started with India demolishing 'demolishing' is peacock term
 * out for only 143 remove 'only'
 * Starc became the first player to get three five-wicket hauls at a World Cup → Starc became the first player to take three five-wicket hauls at the World Cup and link to List of Cricket World Cup five-wicket hauls
 * before a century partnership between Khawaja and Carey Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey
 * New Zealand managed just 157 remove 'just'
 * add that Trent Boult took the second hat-trick of this World Cup
 * saw Afghanistan set 228 against Pakistan 227
 * Pakistan home to a three-wicket victory with only two balls to spare remove 'only'
 * Week 6
 * Despite Bangladesh losing the match, Shakib Al Hasan finished his tournament with 606 runs, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most runs in the group stage of a World Cup. Shakib's record would very soon be surpassed by Rohit Sharma and David Warner by the end of the group stage, with former top-scoring in the group stage with 647 runs Ref 79 needs to move to end of the first sentence and this ref needs to be added to end of the second sentence.
 * India cruised to a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka off the back of centuries from K. L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma as they chased down a target of 265 runs with seven wickets to spare. 'seven wickets to spare' is redundant
 * Add that Rohit Sharma became the fist batsman to score five centuries in a world cup and equalled Tendulkar's record of six overall.
 * Angelo Mathews scored his third ODI century for Sri Lanka, all of which had come against India. this is not supported by ref 91. But this ref does
 * India finished top first or top of the table
 * the victory by only 10 runs redundant
 * Fixtures
 * All times are in British Summer Time (UTC+01:00) no times are listed
 * Knockout stage
 * If any match ended in a tie, a Super Over would be used to determine the winner; each team would select three batsmen and a bowler, with the full team available to field. There would be no penalty for the loss of a wicket, but the loss of two wickets would end the Super Over. If the scores in the Super Over were also tied, the winner would be determined by the two teams' overall boundary count, including both the match itself and the Super Over this is not supported by ref 95.
 * Semi-finals
 * 85 off just 65 balls remove 'just'
 * Add the Mitchell Starc took his 27th wicket, the most in a single world cup.
 * Add that Rohit Sharma also finished as the tournament's top run-scorer overall with 648 runs.
 * Final
 * After two dot balls link Glossary of cricket terms
 * despite the Laws of Cricket Laws of Cricket should be in italics
 * Stokes left unbeaten with 84* remove asterisk

 * Images
 * All images need alt text.
 * Add this ref to the caption for the Root image.
 * For Hasan's image caption Shakib Al Hasan (pictured in 2009) became the only cricketer in the World Cup history with 600 runs and 10 wickets. specify that this was in a single World Cup. But to a wider point, the image is included in the Week 5 paragraph which is where he broke 500 runs. So reader as I went down it mentions 600 which I thought was an error. It is not until you reach the Week 6 paragraph that you find that he actually scored 600 runs. So I suggest that the caption is changed to list 500 runs or move it down to the Week 6 paragraph.

Right I have gone through and done the modifications as you suggested but I have left out some of those thoughts.
 * The Mitchell Starc and Rohit Sharma leading takers have been moved into the statistics to have some prose for that section as I felt like that bit was lacking.
 * Putting the fact that James Neesham getting his maiden five wicket haul doesn't quite fit into a summary sort of style.
 * Trent Boult took the second hat-trick of this World Cup - Again we are trying to summarise a tournament not needing to expand it.
 * I might have a missed a couple of things while going through the big list but when their is over 30 kilobytes of prose, you can sometimes miss stuff out. HawkAussie (talk) 03:48, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
