[number11]

India and Pakistan should qualify. Pakistan's batting is pedestrian but they should qualify.

 

[Himannv]

Looks like Gill is a reserve?

 

[duffer]

I can't believe we just keep on drawing Pakistan. What are the odds of that?

 

[ankitj]

More rigging for India Pakistan match. smh.

Being an ICC WC I'd assume seedings were based on the ICC T20 rankings but I can't make any sense of their logic

Group A: Ind (1) and Pak (5)
Group B: Eng (2) and Aus (3)
Group C: NZ (4) and WI (7)
Group D: SA (6) and SL (8)

 

[Sunil1z]

So, ICC has made sure they get 2 very good games in early stages .

It makes sense if you consider only four of those teams actually subject to seedings as far as their group allocations go (with India/Pakistan and England/Australia always being grouped together regardless of rank).

 

[zaremba]

Now Corey Anderson is playing for USA will he be known as Cilantroson?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Ireland squad for the Pakistan T20Is, Netherlands tri-series, and T20 World Cup includes:

Paul Stirling (captain), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Josh Little*, Barry McCarthy, Neil Rock (wicketkeeper), Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wicketkeeper), Ben White, and Craig Young.

*Josh Little will join the squad before the World Cup.

 

[Qlder]

Well this group just got more interesting, Ireland just beat Pakistan in a T20

 

[number11]

Pakistan's T20 batting is a generation behind. Bowling also has gaps these days.
Pk are a 180 max side, won't defend that too often against top teams.

Pakistan has talent but poor organization, look how long they are taking to name their squad

[Qlder]

So last week we had Ireland beating Pakistan and now USA just beat Bangladesh. Minnows in this group looking pretty good

 

[Silver Silva]

USA won their first ever series against a test nation today. 2-0 unassailable lead now

 

[centurymaker]

Ireland beat Pakistan
USA beat Bangladesh twice
Canada just thrashed Nepal.

This might pan out to be a competitive group.

 

[number11]

India will waltz through the group, but then it is close. Pakistan look terrible and may well fall to any of the other sides.

 

[_Ed_]

Not much more than 12 hours to go now until the opening game, which should be an interesting one (weather-permitting). Looking forward to it.

Would normally consider Canada the stronger team, but USA have to be favourites on their recent form.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

USA bowling rubbish

Good number of attendance for this
