***Official***Match #18- Australia vs Pakistan- October 20th-Bengaluru (D/N)

[Sunil1z]

Am I missing something? Don't they have 5 matches? 9 each team?

Yeah , my error. I thought they had played 5

 

[Qlder]

Well played Aussies, now 4th

Confused about tomorrow now as if SA win Aussies stay 4th but a win behind, while an Eng win would make a more exciting SA, Aus, Pak and Eng on same points but drop Aus back to 5th

 

[King Kane]

The search for a close finish goes on.

A couple of big games coming up over the next two days with SA v England and NZ v India but it will probably be SL v Netherlands that's a humdinger.

Sorry they have to win 4/5 . I thought they had played 5 matches .

Although this team isn't looking very good. So yeah, its looking unlikely that they will make it to the semis

Do they actually move Marsh down the order below 3 if Head is fit? I actually like Marsh opening or at 3 like in t20s. Their sure as hell aren’t dropping Warner down the order.

 

[number11]

Pakistan is all but out.
They will not beat England, NZ or the Saffers - realistically.

NZ and SA are their bunny team . So their only threat is England

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Pak will beat SA, but lose to NZ. NZ and Ind are a level above all teams in this tournament.

Summary of the match

 

[number11]

The gulf between the best sides and the middle of the pack sides is insane these days.
Cricket has a gloomy future if this is not addressed.

Australia will whack NZ regardless their form

Somethings just don't change

Only side that is comfortably ahead of everyone else right now is India. I'd have said England aswell about two weeks ago but they seem to have gone backwards. Rest can beat each other on a given day

India truly the adarsh balak of world cricket

 

[Sunil1z]

Lol@ India Being ahead of the rest

We follow FIFO principle

FIFO = First to enter semi-final and First to get out of Final race

 

[Adorable Asshole]

NZ should not qualify for the SFs

You must have thought cricket would go extinct when these ***** were playing then.

That’s the thing with odis and t20s you can have form but come knockout stages you can have a bad powerplay and lose like 3 wickets or concede 70-80 runs and the games gone.

That was a unique team where they were levels above everyone. Now there is a pack of 3/4 teams who are excellent and the rest who are pants.

Then your 6 wins are guaranteed.
SL + Pak+ NZ+ Netherlands + Bangladesh + Afghan

They can very much drop a game against Bangladesh or Afghanistan especially if they are played on a low scoring/ spinning wickets
