2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis

[Raja_MBZ]

Pakistan Vs Srilanka match is badly effected by rain and i think it may be declared as a draw. I think Pakistan should not be happy with one point 
They could have easily beaten the Srilanka team considering their previous performance against England.

I agree. One point at this point is NOT enough for Pakistan, they could've defeated Sri Lanka in this match and gain two instead of one. But, it's cricket and sh!t happens. They're probably going to lose the next two matches (against Australia and India), but after these two, they've got some easy ones (against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and South Africa). They'll have to not only beat Afghanistan and South Africa but also maintain some nice gap while beating them to get better on the points table.

About the idea of retractable roof stadiums, I think it'd greatly affect the swinging of the ball. But other than that, I don't see any other downsides of that. They should be made.

Another most anticipated match today at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff against England vs Bangladesh. Bangladesh had defeated England in the World Cup 2011, 2015 respectively! One more time we can expect it in CWC2019 today? Anyway, best of luck both teams!! Hopefully we'll enjoy an exciting game today!

Fortunately the weather predictions are saying that there is no sign of rain. So we'll be having a full 50-over match today, after the washout that we had yesterday. Apart from the England vs Bangladesh match, we have another one today, which is between Afghanistan and New Zealand. Both the matches are crucial, for England and NZ respectively. If they lose, then their playoff spot will be in trouble.

Bangladesh have won the toss and bowling first . England have made a good start as they are 40 runs in 7 overs and no wickets . So if they can capitalise this start for next 5 more overs or more then they are set to make a big score if middle order batsman can fire .

I am betting on Win for both England and  New Zealand today. England having lost their previous match, they will be under a lot of pressure to win this one as they cannot afford a loss against Bangladesh. England have started the innings slowly but now they are pickup pace and also they have not lost a wicket yet in the first 10 overs.

[Sithara007]

Bairstow got out just now and that breaks a well set opening partnership. England is now 128/1 after 19 overs. Anyway, they have got a good start. The responsibility is now on Joe Root and Eoin Morgan, to ensure that they finish above 350. The pitch is not offering much support for the bowlers, and therefore any score below 350 will be very vulnerable.

Now both teams are very strong in terms of batting but when it comes to bowling Bangladesh is weak, so there is a huge chance for the England team to win the team even if we compare with the previous world cups. Bangladesh has already defeated one of the best team in the world is SA, so England should carefully play the match.

No interest for the New Zealand vs Afghanistan match? Perhaps everyone is expecting this match to be one-sided in favor of NZ. But I think Afghanistan will be able to give good fight today. They are batting first, and have scored 18 without loss after 3 overs (the in form bowler Matt Henry went for 12 off his first over). Any score above 300 will be competitive at Taunton.

England have made the highest team score in the World Cup today by making 386 runs against the Bangladesh . Bangladesh are struggling and require 13 runs per over in remaining 15 overs and 6 wickets in hand . So England will win comfortably.

386 is a massive total by England and i think it is not possible for Bangladesh to chase it.
Shakab is playing excellent and he is not out at 120.  Although Bangladesh may lose it  but his batting will be remembered.

Edit: Shakab is out at 121.

England won, easily. Once again they put a big score on the scoreboard and defended it successfully. It seemed like they weren't under pressure after losing their match against Pakistan last week.

OTOH, New Zealand defeated Afghanistan with 7 wickets in hand. This will surely boost their net Run Rate on the points table!

Finally we saw a big total scored,hopefully we see many more games like the England match. We will see two of the top teams play later today as India take on Australia. This is going to be an interesting match as the winner will most likely be the favourite to win the World Cup.

This time each and every match we can see good cricket being played, another thing it is getting to be very common to see the scores above 300. Today's match seems to be really interesting, and I'm not sure among the two one winning to be the favourite for the Cup. Good expectation is found over both the teams, but with each and every team performing good the conclusion from my view needs more time to predict the cup winner.

We're seeing big totals by English team for a while now. Within the last 8 matches, they've succeeded in scoring 300+ runs in all of them.

However, we must admit that the English conditions this time are favoring the batsmen way more than the bowlers.

It was a very nice match but it surely could've been a lot better if the umpires were in complete senses when they were making decisions. The way they handled the batting line-up of the West Indies batsmen was pathetic. ICC "should" definitely take an action on this mess!

This is not what I meant by "ICC taking an action":

If you look at their high scoring totals both the openers or at least one will be scoring a big century most of the time, be it  Roy or Bairstow and then Root and Morgan will keep the score board ticking with almost the same runs per over and occasional boundaries and then Buttler and Stokes will put the finishing touches and the score will be 350 plus  , Buttler is the most destructive batsmen in present day cricket and the way in which he score runs is flawless.

Seeing the recent performance of England in the current WC and before series, I think they should win the world cup for the first time on their home ground. The national sports of England is cricket and this is the best team they have, which can win them their first ever World Cup title.

We are almost two weeks in to this edition of the world cup, and it looks like the Brits are having the best batting lineup among all the teams that are participating. And the Kiwis are having the best bowling attack, with Matt Henry, Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson terrorizing the opposition. But IMO, the trophy will be won by the Aussies, who are having the most balanced team out there.

Today we should have some tough match between India vs OZ as both team looks good and are a balanced side. Overall it should not be a one side match and should go till last over if things go well and their is full 50 overs match without any rain or showers.

Check out your favorite team of World cup is being hammered by the Indian batsmen today. I think India has the best batting line up in this world cup.
I think worldcup will be won by England / Australia / India  and the two teams which can surprise in this world cup are NZ and PAK.

My outright prediction is that Australia will win the cup this year too. The final will be in between India and Australia. England will be eliminated by either Australia or India in the semi.

So, technically we are watching the demo of the final match today :-D
