England have won just 1 match in the last 7 matches thus they are at the bottom position of the points table. Netherlands is not a very good team they also lost most of their matches but Netherlands performance was better than England. England have batted first in today's match and their batting performance is looking very good so far England have scored 311 runs and they still have 2 more overs to play. England can target Netherlands with 325+ runs. It will be a huge target for the Netherlands. So there is a lot of possibility that England can win today's match. Ben Stokes has collected the most runs for England and he is still playing. England's performance today is very good which can be attributed to their hard work and Netherlands' poor bowling performance.
England trying there best to avoid further defeats in this world. As far as Netherlands is concerned, they have performed quite well despite being an associate team in this tournament. Netherlands have beaten teams like SA and SL so far. The last games are also important for teams at bottom of table because only 8 teams from this tournament will qualify for next champions trophy.

This match is not important. Still, both teams will want to win. Bangladesh has won just one match in the World Cup. After winning the first match, the team lost consecutively. Bangladesh will want to be above England in the points table by winning this match. Despite losing 3 wickets, Sadeera Rashen Samarawickrama and Assalanka are batting very responsibly. Assalanka remained unbeaten on 20 off 22 balls and Samarawickrama on 21 off 21 balls. Sri Lanka collected 108 runs in 19 overs. This is quite a good collection. Sri Lanka will collect more than 300 today if no wickets are lost.
I am also looking forward to watch the Afghanistan vs Australia match. This match is very important for both the teams. However, the Australian team is in a very good rhythm by winning the last 5 matches. At the moment, the chances of Australia losing against a team like Afghanistan are slim.
The top seven teams of the ICC ODI World cup will play ICC Champions trophy along with Pakistan next year. If Bangladesh win today's game and finishes at 7th or 8th slot then they will play ICC Champions trophy next year. SL must also win today's game if they want to secure there slot in next year champions trophy. That the only worth of today's game. SL so far are doing good as they looking to score somewhere around 270-280.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka today's match Bangladesh must win the match to play the championship. We all know that 2023 World Cup Bangladesh is not performing very well. There is no possibility for Bangladesh to play the semi-final. They have no choice but to think of today's match against Sri Lanka to basically play the championship. Our Bangladesh team batting line is very weak. So we have to stop Sri Lanka within few runs through bowling. If Sri Lanka can be stopped within 200 runs and if the Bangladeshi batsmen bat well, there may be a possibility for them to win this match today.
Both teams only playing to improve there standings in the table, both of them are already out of semi finals. The way SL is batting and if they don't lose more wickets then they are very likely to give a target of 270 - 280 and that wont be easy for weak Bangladesh batting to chase. Bangladesh got three quick wickets but now there is 45 runs partnership between Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka. Runs are now coming quite easily for SL.

However, Sri Lanka lost three wickets. But looking at the condition of the pitch now I don't think it is bowling friendly. Big collections on this pitch will not be too difficult if the batsmen are able to bat responsibly. Sri Lanka quickly lost three key batsmen in the top order. The team collected 87 runs in 16 overs. They have collected an average of less than 6 runs per over. Spin bowlers have a chance to do well on this pitch. So today I am looking forward to see Miraj and Shakib's performance. Shakib has already managed to pick up the crucial wicket of Kusal Mendis. If these two bowlers can do well, maybe the Bangladesh team will be able to stop the Sri Lanka team before 300.
Not a good start by SL today, after 17 overs SL 96/3. Somebody needs to take responsibility today and stay on the pitch unlike what they did in the last game against India. The outcome of this game won't affect both teams but both teams will try to win this game to avoid getting further down in the table. Bangladesh was lucky to have a victory against mighty Afghanistan, that's the only win they have in this tournament.

Both New Zealand and Pakistan are going to face weak teams in their last remaining group phase matches. New Zealand will be facing Sri Lanka, while Pakistan will face England. New Zealand has now lost 4 matches consecutively, although they were a bit unlucky in their last match. If there was no rain interruption, then they would have won against Pakistan. But then, they have only themselves to blame for the wayward bowling. Pakistan reached 200/1 after 25.3 overs, and as per the DLS laws, they were ahead and walked away with 2 points.
You can't say anything certain about Pakistan team, they can lose to the weakest team and defeat the strongest team the very next day. In last match, Pakistan was going great, 200/1 in 25 overs and they needed 200 in next 25 overs with 9 wickets in hands. It was Sodhi last over before the rain that conceded 20 runs and that took Pakistan above par DLS score. NZ was unlucky due to rain but Pakistan was unlucky in there game against SA due to mistakes of umpires and DRS.

I was checking Twitter and came across tweet that mentioned India was dominant in prior world cup's group stages too (2015, 2019) however, in knock-out stages they choked. Let's see what happens this time around. I was rofling when I saw this meme, may be you will too: SourceThe only team whose performance can't be predicted is Pakistan. They lost to Afghanistan but chased down 402 runs against NZ. This is not in this world cup rather performance of Pakistan from day one is unpredictable. Pakistan lose crucial game against SA due to some controversial decisions by umpires otherwise they will be in semis.

It will be a tough equation for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals as Sri Lanka is more likely to lose in the match against New Zealand. If New Zealand only win that match, they will be much ahead of Pakistan in net run rate. Moreover, if Pakistan wins against England, it will have to win by a big margin, which will not be an easy task at all. However, it is very difficult for Pakistan to pass the semis in this World Cup, but if New Zealand is defeated, the final equation will become much easier. So the only objective of Pakistan fans is to wish New Zealand defeat.
NZ have this thing in there minds also that they need to win against SL to secure there place in semis. Beating England by a big margin won't be easy thing for Pakistan. Turning point for Pakistan in this tournament is there loss against Afghanistan and Afghanistan. NRR of NZ right now is 0.396 while that of Pakistan is 0.036, there is huge difference.

Four teams will play in the semi-finals where two teams are already decided and the remaining two teams are yet to be decided. Of the remaining two teams, I would place Australia ahead and Pakistan, New Zealand and Afghanistan fighting for the number four position. Afghanistan have performed very well but are unlikely to make it to the semi-finals. Pakistan's next match is against England while New Zealand's next match is against Sri Lanka. Pakistan win against England might be a bit difficult but New Zealand will easily win against England, in which case I will place New Zealand as the fourth team for the semi-final. As per my prediction, Australia and New Zealand will play the semi-final as the third and fourth teams.
Afghanistan have there last two games againest mighty Australia and SA. It will be difficult for Afghans to win both these and hence there chances are rear for making it to semis. For Pakistan to qualify for next round, NZ must lose to SL. If NZ win against SL then there NRR will go further ahead of Pakistan. I also believe that Aus along with NZ will play semis.

India bowled out South Africa for just 83 runs in this match. I don't think it took as long as it took for you to post this to go all out in South Africa. South Africa's performance throughout the tournament was outstanding but in today's match I know why they played one of the worst matches in their World Cup history. However, a win or loss in this match will not matter for the two teams as both India and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals before the South Africa match. The team that will be the opponent in the semi-final against India will not go to the final because the way India is playing they will definitely fight against any team from the semi-final to the final. I am happy that India won, but if the match was a more closing match, I would have enjoyed watching this match a lot more.
India is becoming almost impossible to be beaten in this tournament. The way India is going it looks very much evident that they will lift this world cup quite easily. They bowled out SL for 55 and now they bowled out SA for just 83 runs. India is likely to play Pakistan or NZ in semis and they both dont any capability to stop India from going to Final.

Its very difficult Srilanka beat NewZealand because Srilanka is weak team they all out against India in just 55 runs. Afghanistan is also strong team if they beat Australia or South Africa in their Next match, they have good chance to qualify for semifinals of world cup. If Pakistan want to quality for semifinals they beat England by huge margin approx 150 plus scores, then their Net runrate important very much and they have very good chances to qualify for semis. The match of Sirlanka and NewZealand is very important, i hope Srilanka will comeback and beat NewZealand
After yesterday's loss NZ know that they must have to win there game against SL with huge win to keep NRR well above Pakistan. On the other hand England will try there best not to lose the last game in order to avoid last spot on points table. Pakistan is lagging behind NZ in NRR and that's the only edge NZ have.

India semifinal qualify South Africa semifinal qualify Australia has a 100% chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, but New Zealand or Pakistan are more likely to finish fourth. If New Zealand can beat Sri Lanka, they will go directly to the semi-finals. But if Pakistan can beat England by a huge margin, then there is a possibility of going to the semi-finals.
Both SL and England are weakest team of this tournament. Its very much possible that both NZ and Pakistan will beat SL and England in there next encounter. NZ are still ahead of Pakistan in terms of NRR. For Pakistan to make it to next round, SL must beat NZ in next match otherwise it won't be possible for Pakistan to make it to semis.

There was cyber-security board request which is much closer to this forum's niche yet it hasn't been granted yet, health board is too far fetched to be approved.
Already there are too many requests in queue for separate boards and now we have another one. As mentioned already by members on this thread that issues related to health can be discussed on off-topics so we dont need a separate board for health. For health related issues one must rely on doctors and verified literature rather then online forums as its a serious matter.

Play between Pakistan and NZ has resumed and target has been reduced to 342 in 41 overs. Pakistan now need 182 runs in 19.3 overs with 9 wickets in hands. Rain has somewhat helped Pakistan as they now have to play fewer overs with 9 wickets in hands. The game is still on for both sides. From NZ perspective they need to get rid of Zaman as quickly as possible otherwise game may drift away from them.

Match between Pakistan and NZ has been stopped due to rain and its Pakistan who loving this rain. As per DLS, Pakistan is 10 runs ahead of par score and if there is no match due to rain then Pakistan will be winner. Its mainly due to blistering knock of Fakhar zaman 106(69) that Pakistan are in a position to win the game. Time is passing and we might even have game with less number of overs which is also what Pakistan must want at the moment.

Asking other team to bat first on a batting friendly wicket is a suicide and looks like Pakistan has done the same with themselves today. Anything close to 350 will not be easy to chase and New Zealand is looking to get there easily with the start they have. Rachin Ravindra is about to make his half century and Kane Williamson who has come after a long time in the team, is also looking in good form.
From Pakistan's point of view, they need wickets and a few of them quite early now, otherwise, New Zealand may seal the match if they are able to score runs freely throughout the innings as they are doing it right now.
New Zealand also knows the importance of this match as the win today will mean a sure shot position in the semi final, so they won't play anything loose today.
NZ have given a target of 403 runs and this is highest runs scored by NZ in ODI WC. I dont think there is much chance for Pakistan to win todays game other then batsmen improving there personal stats. Pakistan pace attack failed miserably not only in today's match but though out his tournament. Muhammad Wasim proved to be most economical pacer for Pakistan in this tournament while Shaheen and Rauf are just a disaster for the team.

Yes, its surprising for me that Pakistan is playing with 4 Pace bowlers and NewZealand will all spin bowling attack. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first in Bangalore pitch. New Zealand players very good so far in fiest 13 overs the current score of NewZealand is 82 runs in loss of 1 wickets only. Hassan ali is only fast bowlers that picked 1 wicket of Devon Conway. Devon Conway is out after scoring 35 runs in 39 balls. Rachin Ravindra is playing good 30 runs not out in 31 balls alongside with Kane Williamson is playing at 15 runs in 10 balls. NewZealand will go to cross 300 plus total for Pakistan.
' NZ 112/1 in 17 overs, tells a lot about the match. If things went as they are right now then NZ will defiantly score somewhere around 350. The match is crucial for both teams and I think its not a wise move from Pakistan skipper to bowl first after winning the toss. To win this game Pakistan need to restrict NZ to some low total which at the moment is not looking possible.

Afghanistan is already a full member and therefore they should strive to enter the semi-finals. For a team like Netherlands (being an associate member) it will be great news just to defeat 2-3 full members. But that is not the case with Afghanistan. If they can't enter the semi-final stage this time as well, then questions will be raised about their test status (similar to the ones that are being raised for full members who failed to qualify this time - West Indies, Ireland and Zimbabwe). Defeating Netherlands today should move them close to a semi-final slot, but two more tough matches await them in group phase.
I think it's early to expect such things from Afghanistan, they have already done justice with there performance. They have won 3 games and looks like wining another game today. This WC is confined around 4 teams aka Aus, NZ, SA and India there is hardly anything left for others. This World Cup is a nightmare for SL as they have faced huge defeats this time.

Australia may qualify for the semis, and they have weak opponents lined up for all of their 3 remaining matches (England, Afghanistan and Bangladesh). For New Zealand, things are not that difficult as their remaining opponents are Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The Pakistan vs New Zealand match is like a knockout. The winner of that match will have a great chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. Pakistani has the match against England coming up as well. Afghanistan need to face South Africa and Australia, so I am not much hopeful about them.
Afghanistan already have done a good job in world cup as they have won 3 games. There only mistake is that they lost to weakest side of this tournament i.e Bangladesh. For Afghanistan it's like winning the World Cup. NZ already know that rest of there games are very crucial to qualify for semis. Pakistan have not secured any win so far against strong teams so there chances are less for semis.
