Cricket match prediction discussions

England did well, broke a record of highest chasing win. England started slow, but consistently maintained their game, loved it.
Tomorrow quite a big game between neighboring countries, Australia vs New Zealand. Cannot say anything, but I think and want Australia to win this match.

Yeah that was a great win by England to chase down that big total and break a record in the process. I really thought that Bangladesh had a very good chance at winning this game after taking a quick wicket early on but England showed that they are a great one day team and will be tough to beat in this tournament. Looking forward to the next match as my country now plays Australia which I think they should win but matches between New Zealand and Australia can be hard to pick sometimes but I am hoping they win.

This was the first time team has chased down 300+ runs in Champions trophy. England has given a hit that this time they are the front runner for the champions trophy to win. Yesterday both teams have played well and we should give more credits to Bangladesh because being not so strong team they gave a very good fight.

Today's match will be the best one to watch between Australia and New Zealand. Both teams are super strong and not so easy to guess the winner of this match.

I wouldn't say great win for England because Bangladesh provided no real resistance after the first wicket . They must be more serious if they need to win or atleast reach semi finals . Australia will win this match according to me because NZ are down in confidence.

It wasn't a great win but England did play well while Bangladesh failed to restrict those runs and that's why they lost the game. They still have time to analyse their shortcomings and play well and one more loss means they will be out of the league.

NZ is lacking confidence and before Australia, they might fair really badly. Can't even see good odds for this game as everyone has chosen Aus only. If NZ wins, it might be a miracle while I don't get why they chose to bat first.

Today's match will show up between strong pace attack and decent batting line up, usually NZ plays well against their Neighbor Australia but in the big stage Aussies are the strongest sides always. Hopefully,  four pace attack will be exciting for the cricket fans like me.
But I'm sure, this match is going to be a good cricket match.

One of the interesting matches of the Champions Trophy today and both team will go in until the last over.Australia, as usual, has an edge over NZ.I bet New Zealand will win the match today.

That's a good pick on the odds. This could be a interesting match. As usual can expect a stable scoring from the Australian team, when it comes to New Zealand the play will be going good if the opening order batsmen score good and develop a partnership. Pace attack is found with both the teams, so something unexpected will serve as the turning point on the match.

i think we cannot take new Zealand as light because they have the best bating order and have good batsmen as well as bowlers who can really give tough time to Australia, result may be anything but i am hopeful that the match will be more interesting and will be a good fight between the two teams. lets see who win the match and my favourite team is New Zealand.

They chose to bat first keeping weather in mind . It rained and it will be difficult for Aussies to chase as ball won't come on to the bat . I think its great decision by NZ but still should see how Aussies perform , right now it looks like NZ will post 300 ( 46 overs).

[sergio red]

Williamson and Taylor are looking very confident and they are playing fantastic cricket, it can be projected that, NZ will score over 300 easily, since this pitch is totally batting favored so Australia will also bat comfortably, in the pitch, bats man is getting full favor, so it's going to be a big score match.

If Williamson continues to hit like this then there is no doubt that New Zealand will cross 300. I think it'll be a competitive match as Australians too in great form. Let's see.
My bet is for NZ right now

Australia require another 182 runs with 7 wickets and 24.0 overs remaining. Rain has stopped the play again . Required run rate now is at 7.58. If there is further reduction in overs than OZ will have an unfair advantage of wickets since they can easily chase score of even 9 in over in 15 overs as they have good batsman to follow if D/L comes in place again.

Damn it!! New Zealand would have won for sure. Now England got a good chance of moving into the semis with it's point lead.
Looks like South African players having some trouble in the team management. I would go with Sri Lanka for tomorrow's match. Let's see what happens in group B.

SA is a better unit and considering the Aamla form and their fielding SA has advantage compared to SL. But its a different game considering the pressure and playing away from home will make the difference. I hope it should be full 50 over match and should not be reduced due to rain,

Even if over gets reduced hope the match doesn't get cancelled as today's match. I also think South Africa has more chances to win as I see Sri Lanka being inconsistent in their previous few games. Imran Tahir is also in a good form. Wishing to watch ABD showing his extraordinary batting skills.

How unfortunate for NZ. They made 291 runs which was more than what was expected and then the match got delayed due to rain. Australia were looking so weak after losing 3 wickets and as we assumed, the team may have lost the match instead of winning it. NZ must be cursing the match as this could have been a major booster for them.

Ya it is true that Newzeland were unlucky as from winning the match they got only 1 point and Australia will be happy and praying to god for saving them from shame of loss. Now tommorrow will be a interesting match between Sri Lanka vs south africa.

It would have being a very interesting match and with wickets being lost at regular intervals the possibility of a New Zealand win was higher and they were really unlucky to test the waters and it could have being a good match,some of the matches are pretty straight forward and i am looking for good matches from strong teams rather than one sided encounter.

[vella85]

It was unfortunate that the match between New Zealand and Australia was washed out. More so for New Zealand as they were looking like they would win the match after posting a good score and taking early wickets in the Australian innings. Australia were lucky to come out of it with 1 point and now it will be interesting to see which teams will make it through in this group. England would be happy with the result and same goes for Bangladesh as this also now gives them hope to make it through if they can upset New Zealand or Australia.

[Adelajda]

I think more matches will be washed out because of rain and this is just the beginning,usually ICC never conducts matches during these rainy seasons in the past  but now they have changed the schedules for almost everything and cricket is being played round the clock.I really hope to see some competitive matches in this tournament.

Clearly a disappointing result for New Zealand. They would have been comfortably placed in the group, if they had beaten Australia.
Another washout for either of the teams (say against Bangladesh) might put them out of the tournament. We have to blame the ICC for the scheduling of these matches. I know that the available slots are limited, but do we have to play in England at this time?

Yeah, New Zealand have been playing good in the batting as well in the bowling track. But I don't describe it an disappointment for New Zealand, because by the second innings start the pitch has changed a lot due to the weather conditions, which served as a advantage. Australia is not that bad, it could have been a strong chasing as partnerships were gradually increasing between players though wicket fall often.
