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.

Most of the people are expecting that Pakistan is almost out, and it's so hard for them to make a comeback in this World Cup, including me, but still there are chances for Pakistan to qualify.

Yeah it sounds impossible but if we look at the history so it is not new for Pakistan, most latest example in 2022 World Cup when Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe and India and no hopes, that time Pkaistan needs India to beat South Africa but one sided game for South Africa and another door were closed to Pakistan later on Netherlands beat to South Africa, can you imagine this term. And then Pakistan qualified for the finals just because of the Netherlands, yeah, they lost in the final against England, but still they qualified till there.

Yes, Sri Lanka team beated strong team like Australia in past but in super eight stage, Sri Lanka team lost two games in a row and has now removed. In NZ vs SL game, SL team won toss and they got chance to choose field and batting lineup first and they elected field first. NZ batsmen batted well and set target of 168 runs in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Tim one of opener batsmen of NZ team performed poor and made only 8 runs. Mitchell batsmen helped alot team to win this important super eight game and he made 47 runs in 26 balls and hitted two 4s and four 6s. Cole and Rachin batsmen also showed their good struggle and Cole made 31 runs and Rachin scored 32 runs. SL batsmen did not chase all runs and lost this 2 nd super eight game by big margin 61 runs. Rachin also bowled out 4 good wickets of SL team in 4 overs.

I am very disappointed to see Sri Lanka's consistent failure. Sri Lanka won three consecutive matches but lost the next three consecutive matches and were eliminated from the tournament. I did not expect such a poor performance from Sri Lanka at home. Sri Lanka lost by big margins in the last two matches, they lost to England by 51 runs and yesterday against New Zealand by 61 runs. In my opinion, the reason for Sri Lanka's defeat in the last two matches is the failure of the batsmen. Because England scored 146 runs which was not a very difficult target but Sri Lanka was all out for only 95 runs. Yesterday New Zealand scored 168 runs and Sri Lanka scored 107 runs. Actually, Sri Lanka's batsmen are not doing well consistently, no batsman could play a big innings in the important match yesterday. Anyway, New Zealand won and is one step ahead in the race to play the semi-finals and Pakistan is one step behind here. I think England and New Zealand will play the semi-finals from Group 2.

Theoretically Pakistan has a small chance of qualifying for the semis. At the moment, New Zealand has three points and Pakistan has one. If New Zealand loses to England in their next match, and Pakistan wins against Sri Lanka in theirs, then run rate will decide who qualifies as the second team from Group 2. But here the problem is that Pakistan is so far behind in the NRR. They have a net run rate of -0.461, while New Zealand has a NRR of +3.050. In order to overtake the Kiwis, Pakistan needs a giant win (something like winning by 170-180 runs) and also they need New Zealand to lose heavily.

A very interest and good match is going on between West Indies and South Africa in which the hard work and effort of both are going well and the victory between them will be due to the good effort and strength of one of the team. The West Indies have made a good effort by batting first and if their bowling is also strong like their batting then West Indies will be successful. The West Indies batsmen play well together and also took wickets with their careless. If they had not wasted balls their target could have been even strong. The effort of their batsmen has been enough strong at 176 runs and their victory will also be successful. South Africa is also a very strong and good team and if their batted is also good and strong this target will not be difficult for them to victory.

[noormcs5]

Before the match between Zimbabwe and India, I was full of uncertainty because before the last game against South Africa, India was also very confident but when the game started, it was totally different from the expectations that is why now this time we are even feeling uncertain for world champion to win against normal team of Zimbabwe but at the same time I am also little bit confident that India would not repeat mistakes. In fact, it should not be a challenge for India now, especially when they made 256 in the first innings.

Today's in World Cup game South Africa defeated West Indies big margin. West Indies opens inning first with Shai Hope and Brandon King and among the openers Brandon king gives a positive start to the team by scoring 21 runs but Shai Hope scores only 16 runs and in middle order all the team was panicked but Jason Holder played a well innings of 49 runs and also Shepherd played a aggressive innings of 52 runs and at the end of the innings West Indies set a very strong target of 177 runs.

This is the 47th match of group ine of the series. It is a super eights match between West Indies and South Africa. The West Indies team batted first and their start was not very weak, which the other team took advantage of with their bowling, but in the end, some players came together to make the target strong, which was 176 runs. But it was not expected at all that the South African team would have come so prepared. Out of all their players, only one player was out, which meant that three players took the bat and together they completed the target given to them, in which the names of Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock are mentioned, and they completed the 20 run target in 16 overs and once, they achieved a brilliant victory and defeated the other team.

South Africa won their semi final spot officially through huge nine wicket win over West Indies in Ahmedabad. And we know that South Africa had made chase to seem easy. Captain Aiden Markram was playing perfect game with not out 82 runs, and Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton were giving great help end game in only 16.1 overs. And now as much as Proteas may be only unbeaten team in the cup, this is in fact huge help to India. South Africa lowered Net Run Rate of West Indies to +1.791 so making this India vs. West Indies match on Sunday direct fight to last spot in semi final.

By the way, I was just thinking that they are playing so many all rounders in the team and because of this they are struggling, their current coach Mike Hesson prefers this strategy. The day before yesterday, when Shaheen Shah Afridi came to the press conference, a journalist asked a question about what he thinks about Mike Hesson's mindset of going with maximum all-rounders. Shaheen said it was a tough question, but the coach knows well, and he can answer it better. This statement clearly says that Shaheen Shah Afridi also does not totally agree with this approach, but yeah, let's try this too.

South Africa successfully has been qualified in semi final game and they won 2 super eight games and have 4 points total. Yesterday, SA team beated WI team by big margin 9 wickets. In start of game, SA team won toss and they elected field first and gave batting lineup WI team. WI team batsman set 176 runs target in 20 overs by losing 8 wickets. Jason and Romario batsmen batted well from WI team and he made 49 runs in 31 balls and hitted four 4s and three 6s.

Aiden opener batsmen of SA team performed brilliant yesterday and he made 82 runs in 46 balls and hitted seven 4s and four 6s. De kock and Ryan also helped team to win this game and played great with Aiden batsman. Congratulations SA team on winning this important game and best of luck to next games.

It is being seen in this match that was played between West Indies and South Africa in which South Africa has given West Indies a chance to play first so that they can give them a target with their strong batting and later they can break their score and they did exactly that and they won this match with their good performance and lost only one wicket which is a good thing they saved their remaining wickets. From the South African team, Aiden Markram scored 82 runs for his team and remained not out and along with this Quinton de Kock scored 47 runs and remained not out which is a good thing to break the target of the next team by staying steadfast and these two players have shown an outclass performance. In comparison to them, Romario Shepherd from the West Indies scored 52 runs but it was of no use because the South African team won this match with 9 wickets and 23 balls remaining which was a good win.

For Pakistan and Mike Hesson, allrounders just mean spin bowlers who can bat a bit. I agree that this tournament is hosted in South Asia. But bowlers such as Shadley van Schalkwyk, Blessing Muzarabani and Lungi Ngidi are among the wicket takers list. And Pakistan's strength historically has been pace bowling allrounders. I am talking about players such as Azhar Mahmood and Abdur Razzaq. And before that they had exceptional allrounders such as Imran Khan. It changed recently, and now they only have spin-bowling allrounders. I guess it started when Shoaib Malik became the captain.

In the recent days the teams are playing so good in the T20 cricket, not targeting to such champions teams or some big names like India or Australia that is fulfill with their power hitters, targeting to the World cricket understood how to score big runs and get big boundaries just due to the T20i cricket and now to have target of 170 to 185 sounds normal and I think for the second time in group stage we got up to 250 as a team total, so when it progress more maybe 300 sounds normal. The World of Cricket has progressed now.

This is actually a different game, a team with a better performance like Ind lost the match to SA, but Ind performance was not that weak compared to Zim, which was strong compared to Zim. Ind performance was strong in this game and Zim players were controlled, owing to which they could not struggle much and Zim performance could not see any improvement. Congratulations to Ind on this win, but they are currently out of the next round, owing to which their performance was useless. Although NZ loss can benefit Ind and Pak, Eng will have to play with better performance and struggle so that the interest of the game increases in the final moments. With this target, Ind lost in the first game, it was a surprising game that we all see very different results.

If we think from the point of view of the Indian team, they were full prepared for this big clash because it was so important and you can say crucial factor for the team India to win this game and somehow they did it but still the story did not end here as they have to beat West Indies to have 2 more points and get 4 points in total to qualify for the Semi-Final. Zimbabwe next game with South Africa which is also not going to be an easy clash for them.

In this match of the series, the West Indies team did not expect that they would lose so easily because they set a target of 176 runs, but the South African players together completed their target in 16 overs and not one ball, which started their team going backwards after the loss. If you look at it, the West Indies players had set the target, but there was no passion and passion in their players that would have helped them win, but still they could not bat. Attention should be paid to the polling, but the South African players, who entered with good preparation, with which all three of their players together completed their target in the second half and gave their team a victory and the spirit to move forward. The PTS of both the teams was going to be equal, but after winning this match, South Africa's PTS increased from two to four.
