The very important matches of the T20 World Cup have started in which each team is trying its best to defeat its opponent and their hard work on the field shows how seriously they are playing the match just like England team won the match with its great performance.If you look at it the aim that Sri Lanka got from England was modest because 146 runs are considered very low in Super Eight matches but England acted wisely and strengthened their bowling and put the Sri Lankan team under difficulty and pressure due to which they be out in 16 overs.No one from England has established a strong partnership with Phil Salt.Sri Lanka bowled well but could not show their batting.No batsman from Sri Lanka has looked capable of strengthening the scoreboard.If Sri Lanka keeps losing like this it will definitely be out of the World Cup.

When Hardik Pandya got out in the match between India and South Africa, the crowd was silent, all the Indians were silent and Hardik was surprised and disappointed because he was the last hope of the crowd and used a lot of balls to be settle on the pitch and now Rinku arrives so it is for sure he would also take some bowls and then goes for big shots but in the search of runs he tried big but again dismissal by another batsmen of the Indian team. India was losing the match and it is super great for the South African team in the match.

South Africa team scored 187 runs. In starting they lost early on wickets but then they focus on securing wickets and making runs. Dewald Brevis, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs played outstanding inning after losing the wicket pressure came on him but they released pressure and put it on opponent team. And if wo talk about Indian team performance then in this inning they could not perform well like they are performing from some previous matches. Bowling side looked weak especially Varun Chakravarthy and pandiya they gave more runs and they were proved expensive for his team. In batting side also they could not perform best just Shivam dube scored more runs remaining other players could not played well even they have experienced but useless. And the totally credit goes to South African team who's efforts brilliant in both sides and they won the match brilliantly.

It is the qualify round and it is allowed to have maybe one loss but the problem is that it is Super 8 so you have just one chance to loss and now India have to win their remaining couple of games at any cost otherwise they are out of this tournament.

By the way India is so good on number 1 ranking, India should not be dishearten or disappointed on this small loss because they have won 12 games in a row in T20 world cup, India had been totally out played in this game by South Africans.

South Africa ruined 12-game winning run of India with crushing 76-run win in Ahmedabad to leave world number one team at bottom of Super 8 Group 1. Going after goal of 188 runs, batting list of India fell apart under pressure who only made 111 runs and their Net Run Rate was cut to dangerous -3.800. I also agree that fact that India held first spot might be worth its praise but this was definitely not small loss. Big gap means that they now have to win rest of their matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies by big gaps, otherwise any chance at semi finals will be gone. Reports on current positions show that as West Indies also adds their huge win over Zimbabwe, India is in nearly hopeless spot which needs just one more mistake which will probably end their title run in cup.

In the match between Pakistan and England, the pitch is looking very good as it is providing a bit of extra bounce, it looks close and fresh and Pakistan have couple of fast bowlers, including Salman Mirza as well as Shaheen Shah Afridi.

This is good but I think having Shaheen Shah Afridi here is not so good, Pakistan should not try him early especially in the power play and also try to avoid in the middle order. When the situation is well under control, then they can try him otherwise, I think he is the worst option for now.

When the power play ends, England team started to bowl with spinners and their spinners were bowling with a degree of accuracy. They were putting pressure on the Pakistan batsmen, the max they could do was just to run between the wickets.

England knows how to create pressure on the opponent team and how to make them feel demotivated so they would try for sixes or big hits that may lead them out. Wonderful plan by England's captain in the middle overs to stop Pakistan from making runs.

Previous Super Eight match was not played and both squads received 1 point each. But today, Pakistan lost their first Super Eight match against England squad. Pakistan squad was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 164 scores off 20 overs with lost 9 wickets. Saim Ayub performance was bad today and he just collected 7 scores and other starter batter, Sahibzada Farhan  played wonderful inning and he managed to collect 64 scores. Liam Dawson bowler played crucial role in victory and he picked up 3 significant wickets of Pakistan squad. England batters were successfully achieved target and emerged victory with 2 wickets and 5 deliveries. Harry Brook was top scorer and performer of this match and he really played amazing inning and he collected 100 scores off 51 deliveries.

Just as Sahib Zada Farhan did his duty the rest of the batsmen should have performed well but Pakistan lost a very important match.Pakistan has lost twice in the T20 World Cup which is not great .The bowler you are talking about of course took England wickets but he could not stop them from increasing due to which he win the match by 5 balls and 2 wickets.Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4 wickets but he gave away too many runs so he should not come in the opening overs.Pakistan should play well there are still 10 remaining in the World Cup so Pakistan mistakes and poor performance can get them out.They should strengthen their batsmen and openers so that the last batsmen do not have to face problems.

This game was played with a very better performance in which both of them played well and fought hard and ended the game and the result of this game was made by Eng for their winning and they have succeeded in it well. There could not have been a better target than Pak players. If their players had fought better and given a target of 190, their comfortable bowling could have also been a winning for them. Pak wins in this game was owing to their excellent batting, owing to which they were to succeed, but they lost due to their poor performance and low runs and if they had played better, it could have been quite powerful.

Yes, you are right Pakistan disappointed batting and bowling performance in most important match of world cup and almost out from the tournament but only 10% chance to qualify for the semi final of world cup and depends on other teams like New Zealand and England. England team chase down the target of 165 runs with lost of 8 wickets and chase it down in last over of the match. The man of the match is Harry Brook for his wonderful batting display scoring a well deserved century playing with strike rate of 200 plus and assited England to win this match and qualify fir the semi final of the world cup. Now Pakistan will pray England will win their next match against New Zealand and they wil beat Sri Lanka on 28 February but i don't Pakistan have enough chance to qualify for semifinal.

England is already in the semi-finals. And Pakistan has only one point from two matches. So the fight is going to be between New Zealand and Pakistan for the sole-remaining semi-final slot. Sri Lanka is also in contention, if they can win both their remaining matches. They have a match against New Zealand today, but as usual there is a risk of rains happening. But these rains are likely to be intermitted and at least a partial game should be possible. If Sri Lanka can win today and also defeat Pakistan in their next match, then it will come to run rate. But at the moment, their run rate is also very poor.

Today is going to be the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, this is going to be so interesting just because that Sri Lanka is in form in recent days, they even beat to Australia and most likely they are in a position to give a tough time to New Zealand as well.

Yeah, their start in the Super 8 was not that good, as England beat them, and right now they are at the bottom of the table. It sounds like it will be difficult for them to win this game, but at the same time, it is do or die for them otherwise, they are surely out of this tournament.

I am not expecting something good from Sri Lanka even today, yeah, they beat Austria, so what next, lost to Zimbabwe and South Africa then that was you can say by chance   and not by strategy, that day was not good for Sri Lanka, in fact, it was a bad day for Australia.
 
Let's see how Sri Lanka will take this game. First of all, we should check the head-to-head between both teams in the last 5 games. New Zealand won thrice, but the last combat between them on 2 January 2025 was won by Sri Lanka. They are almost going to face each other after a year.

Sri Lanka team started well in the beginning of the match, they took early on wickets and dismissed main players which could be prove dangerous for him. Top order players of NZ team could not played well. Also middle order players could not play well. Top order and middle order batsman could build partnership. They could not make 164 runs if Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie did not build partnership. On the other Sri Lanka team was performing well but in last overs they did not perform well in bowling. And in batting side they showed very disappointed batting, it was not tough total for him they could easily chase it some senior and experienced players showed irresponsible performance. It was important match for Sri Lanka team and they did not take it serious and lost the match with very bad defeat.
