Who's going home without a win?

[_Ed_]

My thoughts...

I'll start with Pool B and say UAE. The way Ireland and Zimbabwe have played so far makes winning a game look like a big mountain to climb for UAE, and I think they might be out of their depth here.

In Pool A I'm going to go with my heart more than my head, and I'm going to predict that no one goes home winless. Whoever loses the Scotland-Afghanistan game will have their work cut out to win one, but I reckon either of those teams could have it in them to give Bangladesh a hell of a fright if they're even slightly off their game. I'd love to see everyone in this group win a game.

This post may well look pretty dumb in a few weeks' time, but never mind. What do you guys think?

Yep, possibly with Bopara coming in as an injury replacement and single-handedly winning a knockout game.

UAE and BD I think.

 

[smash84]

BD possibly, and UAE

 

[morgieb]

West Indies.....if they were in Group A.

 

[Daemon]

UAE and Afghanistan

 

[GIMH]

India

Beating Pakistan doesn't count, for reasons I will try and come up with and work into this post via the edit function.

UAE and Pakistan

I'm thinking Sri Lanka. Long shot though

 

[GirtBySea]

Sri Lanka will win. I'll come back in a few weeks and let you know...

If Sri Lanka are one thing, we are minnow bashers, especially in the short formats we have a pretty happy habit of smashing minnows I've noticed

 

[cnerd123]

Could be the Afghanis unfortunately. Scotland look to have a really good side and they haven't been able to pinch a win off BD.

 

[eroticfishcake]

Afghanistan it is

That explains some of the stellar career records then...

Yeah, after that game last night I think you're right.

Looks like "A New Challenger Arises" in England.
