Well exactly. If they take out Pandya and Shardul and replace with Sky and Shami, you could almost argue it makes them an even stronger team.

And this is Shami with new hair, right?

Is a washout forecast? If a tie they keep playing super overs til someone wins.

Just been looking at toss wins, electing to bat or bowl and outcomes. Also factored in whether you'd have expected the side that won to have won anyway
Chose to bat : P4 W0 L4
Chose to bowl : P13 W4 L9
Inserted : P13 W9 L4
Asked to chase : P4 W4 L0
As you might expect, paired, despite no success electing to bat 9 sides asked to bat won (out of 13) and is pretty even on wins, 9-8 to target setters
Out of 17 results to date I'd venture only FOUR have been heavy duty clashes, where you mightn't be sure of the winner (ENG vs NZL, AUS vs IND, SAF vs AUS, PAK vs IND) You could argue other clashes involving Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, but pretty much all games involving them have gone to form including deshi win over Afghanistan although could argue that was not necessarily destined to be easy.
of the four heavy duty clashes you had chose to bowl and won (twice), chose to bowl and lost, chose to bat and lost so whilst no successes chosing to bat there was a mix chosing to bowl
Both the upsets/shocks were where a big gun chose to bowl..... only big gun that chose to bat, and lost, was Australia vs India and maybe as much down to the opponent as the decision ie maybe opting to bat isn't a mistake, depends if you are playing India or some other big gun on their game
including last point I checked the current game :
average runs per wicket - bat 1st = 32.8, bat 2nd = 36.6
run rate - bat 1st = 5.84, bat 2nd =5.69
obviously includes minnows, bowled out cheaply etc but is only 6-8 to side batting 1st in terms of bowled out, 11-8 if you extend that to 9-10 wickets lost
somewhat surprisingly only one side, South Africa 428/5, has lost 5 wickets or less batting first
wickets lost
10 : bat 1st = 6, bat 2nd = 8
9 : bat 1st = 5, bat 2nd =0
8 : bat 1st = 3, bat 2nd =0
7 : bat 1st = 2, bat 2nd =0
6 : bat 1st = 1, bat 2nd =0
5 : bat 1st = 1, bat 2nd =1
1-4 : bat 1st = 0, bat 2nd = 8
I haven't including Pakistan, last time I look, 0 wickets down but have aussie total as the innings was completed. Quite remarkable in chasing that 8 sides were all out and 8 sides lost less than 5 wickets, would think there'd be a bit more of a spread/contest.

An England win tomorrow would push them back to 5th and a big Netherlands win could even see them 6th.Be afraid, be very afraid - Australia completes their 5 day march up the table from 10th to 4th
Not really sure which result from the Eng/SA game best suits the others.
Nope, Aussies going to hold on to 4th

England is basically out of the world cup after the drubbing that is unfolding today. NRR is gonna be so bad that they won't be able to survive even on 5 wins.
So would have to win all 5 remaining games. Not happening tbh.

SA, NZ and Ind all very likely to make the cut.
Fight for the last spot is now only between Aus and Pak, with Aus looking more likely to grab it.

SA, NZ and IND- even if they finish on 5 wins their NRR is so oustanding that can't see any of them failing to make the top 4

I think it will be very very difficult for the 1-3 teams - they would PROBABLY have to win out. Shocked that England are here honestly.
Good opportunity for Great Britian to field a team to qualify for 2028 Olympics. England won't be there lol

Pakistan probably dropped the WC by losing to Australia
