*Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

Not Terrible
Id genuinely prefer an expansion of the IPL/return of the Champions league. Full mercenary, club football style. Than T20 WCs.

T20 Olympics sure

This world cup has really lacked close games so far
It's not been great so far yeah. The Pak SL game atleast had a great chase and India v Australia was fun even though it ended up being an easy win, but not much else.

I remember feeling the 2019 wc was disappointing halfway through the group stage (mainly because of the ran ruining the flow), but it really picked up once the teams got bunched up in the table and each game felt important, particularly England and Pakistan coming back strong after a few stutters. Hopefully, that happens here too.

Yeah, very early days yet. Positive way of looking at it. Pakistan v SL definitely entertaining because of the Mendis innings and Pakistan's great chase but the result was clear enough with fifteen overs to go and the standard of SL's bowling was gratingly poor at times.

This world cup has really lacked close games so far, and yes the 2021 WT20 was truly awful.
You don't see many close ODI finishes these days as ODIs are so high scoring now, they normally end in one sided blowouts.

The 2019 WC final was one of the few exceptions as that was more like an old ODI with lower scores with something in the pitch for the bowlers.
