Cricket match prediction discussions

It could have been an easy victory for the Afghanistan team, but they were made to struggle by the Pakistanis. This is why I get frustrated with these lower ranked sides (Afghanistan, Ireland.etc). They show a lot of enthusiasm in the field and put in a lot of hard work. But their finishing is horrible. Ireland can be classified as the choker team, but Afghanistan would come close.

What is there to get frustrated, Afghanistan is a fairly new entrant in world cricket after their war torn homeland and we have to appreciate that they are performing really well in the world stage and they have some world class players in their team who could easily fit into any world eleven. They might not have the best finishers and they might not have classical players but they are playing well and winning matches which is important.

we should delay our bet and place the bet later when 25 - 40 overs are done of the 1st innings. In this way we might get the low odds but our losing chances will be less.

Low odds are more risky if the team is Pakistan. In Eng vs Pak series, Pakistan lost matches even if they scored 359. Your theory can only be applied against lower team which in some cases may not come true again. You are risking more money for a lower return.
In case of Pakistan, I would always say you to bet against them in 80% match, though I too would bet for Pakistan today. Didn't expect Afghan to win at the beginning.

I agree as its going to take time for these countries to make a name for them self in world cricket. Just take a look at Bangladesh and what they are doing now and we can see Afghanistan has the potential to be good in the long term so we just need to give them time to mature. They can upset some middle ranked teams on their day.

Afghanistan cricket team is very new to the cricketing world amound the other teams and yet they have shown some great performances and talent. Rashid Khan from Afgansitan is considered as one of the best spinner of the world. I am sure in less than 5 years or so, Afganistan team will be ranked as one of the strong cricket team.

If Pakistan had their previous glory of the bowling attach then I would say they would easily win this match defending 262 runs but looking at this inexperience bowling attack I am worried if they will be able to defend it.

I will hate to see them losing because in that case I will lose 15mBTC. Let's hope the best for them. Come on Pakistan :-P

Pakistan always had a great bowling attack in the past but that cannot be said about them now, they still have great bowler who performed in the past but they are just mere images of their prime form, i remember how lethal Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Junaid Khan used to be in their prime long time ago and Pakistan is the worst team to bet as they are the most unpredictable team in this world cup, one day they will surprise everyone and the next day the same old story as they will play as a sub par team.

If I can remember properly, I never have seen Wahab Riaz to bowl extra ordinary. He was maximum a good level bowler at the beginning of his career. Amir was great. Junaid Khan was also good one.
I don't know how their bowling become such useless. They used to depend on their bowling much.

I think they are already doing really well, considering the precarious security situation in their homeland. Defeating Pakistan is not a mean achievement. And this victory should set alarm bells ringing. None of the teams can take Afghanistan lightly. If the luck is also on their side, they are capable of defeating any of the other 9 teams in England.

They have one of the best bowlers in the world in Rashid Khan and he is a true marvel and they can defeat any team on any given day.
Really disappointed with the way India is playing today, really thought of watching the match live but when i saw them lost 4 wickets for 39 runs i changed my decision and went to sleep rather than spending my time . Looks like i should change my prediction by the way they performed today, they cannot built partnerships and all out for 179 runs  .   

[sujonali1819]

I can not believe the Indians performance as a Indian Supporter against New Zealand. Only 179 runs (39.2) All wicket where India played with their most strong team. Really its so  downfall by India. And This is the fantastic performance by the New Zealand Balling

Well, Pakistan team has not much options to choose from. A lot of is expected from Muhammad Amir and he is the main strike bowler and wahab has to equally support him to keep the runs restricted in the early overs of the matches.

I can not believe the Indians performance against New Zealand. Only 179 runs (39.2) All wicket where India played with their most strong team. Really its so  downfall by India. And This is the fantastic performance by the New Zealand Balling

Seeing the recent performances of Pakistan and India in warm up matches,  we might see many upsets in this world cup.

It was terrifying to watch, yesterday Pakistan defeated by Afghanistan, here world's best batting line up 179/10 all out though playing with full batting strength. Don't underestimate any opponent, anyone can beat any team. A challenge to all teams, if this fantastic performance continues, we may see many surprises in this world cup.

I have been saying this for quite sometime. Historically, the Indian batsmen have fared poorly in England. And I don't think that this time it is going to be any different. The only batsman who is not going to get affected is Virat Kohli. But as we have seen in the past, Kohli will be helpless if the other players don't offer him any support in building the innings.

Virat Kohli alone may win one or two matches for India but he cannot win the cup for India all alone. The whole team needs to perform well in order to win this world cup. Newzealand is the team which is very well composed and yet no one is thinking about them that they can be the favorites for this world cup.

I see no one talking about Steve Smith's performance. He is back in fine form just at the right time, like I have been saying Smith plays well on English pitches and with the form he is in only increases Australia's chances at going back to back even more a reality. The top order for Australia batted well with Smith being the stand out making a century, I also thought Warner batted well and all the others getting starts but not going on with it. The Australian bowlers also played well considering that Strac and Cummins didn't play. Australia would have to be second favourite to win as they have been the best in form team for the past few months.

Yeah, I did closely watch his today's performance against England in the warm-up match, and it was amazing. Australia couldn't have won this one without his century (with quite a good run-rate). Let's see if he's able to keep this performance up, his good performance will be vital for Australia in upcoming matches of the world cup if they really want to remain the world cup champion!

[Vishnu.Reang]

With the return of Warner and Smith, Australia looks like the strongest team in the world cup. I won't be too surprised, if the final is between Australia and New Zealand (just like the case in 2015). NZ also looks to be in fine form, and they have performed well in England. Trent Boult is going to play a major role for them and the conditions suit him perfectly.

It's less likely to be happened that Nee Zealand will play final. I think Australia vs England or Australia vs India will be the final although in last match India played shit.

I agree. I honestly could not believe my eyes when I observed the entire Indian team collapse like a bunch of dominoes.

Jadeja was the only saving grace for the team while Pandya played a decent cameo. This clearly proves how different the T20 and ODI formats truly are.

However, it is unwise to judge the performance of a team just because of a single match(Specifically a warm up match). India lifted the World Cup twice when they lost their first warm up matches before.

Lets see how they fare in the upcoming matches.

+1
It will be foolish. It's a warm up match and this is the forst match here for this series after long time. Addition, Boult was bowling pretty awesome.
However, vs Bangladesh, they need to comeback, otherwise their journey will a bit salty. But, I solely want Bangladesh win the match.

Everyone tend to under-estimate New Zealand. The same was the case in 2015, and they won the semifinal and became the runners-up. Their team composition is perfect for the English conditions. Their bowlers are well suited for the English grounds, and their batsmen have good a record in England. I expect them to reach the Semi finals at least, during this edition.

I agree. New Zealand could lift the cup this time in my opinion especially after reaching the finals in the last tournament due to a group of high quality players in their team.

Batsmen like Ross Raylor and Williamson can take the game away from the opposition on their day while bowlers like Boult can wreck havoc at any time.

Underestimating such a powerful team is unwise if you ask me.
