Sportsbook is showing 1.42 odds which is far below than onehash, I don't have an account there. Seems like it's worth to check and bet couple of bucks. India will have an easy win.

Rain does also have some role to play and due to rain the pitch might change a bit and can prove a worthy to some particular side if overs get short and thus it could favor some country as D/L system might come into effect .

At this point of time, one has to agree that India are the overwhelming favorites to win the game. Pakistan is no longer counted among the top cricketing sides and in the meantime India have grown leaps and bounds.

And the good news from Old Trafford is that the the weather predictions have improved when compared to yesterday. The chance of a rain during the first half is 15% to 20%, while the same for the second half is 25% to 30%. Yesterday it was close to 55%.

We had some rain threats at the end of Indian innings and in start of Pakistan innings too but good thing is that game is going on, weather is also good now and we had no over loss. Pakistan run chase is started and i hope to see Pakistan batsmen shows a better performance today.

Well, Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam seem to be playing well right now. However, they need to get the partnership of at least 200 runs here, otherwise, it'll be pretty much useless as two-down batsmen of Pakistani team these days don't seem very comfortable with the big sixes and fours.

EDIT: Babar Azam gone.

Pakistan have lost the way now as they lose 4 quick wickets for 12 runs only and now they are 132 for 5 . The way Pakistan has started the match was poised balance but quick wickets have helped India to get back in the game and even to win the match .

20-20 world cup coming next year. Don't worry :p

India are looking in top form with their top order batsman all getting starts. Right now the top well balanced teams from what I can see are Australia, India and England. We will see how well New Zealand shape up once they start playing some of the top teams in the coming matches. India played a great game against Pakistan and deserved the win, it was a good all round performance by the Indian team.

[tsaroz]

India performed very well in every fields while Pakistan is struggling in every matches. Emotions and desires just don't make you win a game. You need to perform well.
Pakistan has a young team that needs more experience and exposure, they need more effort to get back to the glory the Pakistani team once had in Cricket. For now, they are one of the easy to beat team in this worldcup.

Seriously, I don't even like that T20 format. IMO, that format is the reason behind today's totally ruined Pakistani cricket team. They've become so habitual of that format that they've forgotten to play with the bat for more than a couple of overs. When the PCB decides the selection on the basis of that stupid T20-based league (talking about PSL here) and absolutely no training/experience, nothing good can happen.

One more loss in the upcoming four matches and it'll be game-over for Pakistani team. Pathetic.

Few observation as an outsider.

1. Cricket took a hit in Pakistan when SL team got an attack. Result: local cricket suffered drastically.
2. PCB not taking any step to kick start Domestic cricket, Pakistan is a gold mine for raw talent.
3. Petty politics in Cricket: Everyone wants to play politics here except cricket. Be it cricketer, Journalists, or management. Merits don't matter much for them.
4. Former cricketer doesn't have any say at all. PCB should include likes of Javed Bhai, Wasim Bhai, etc in a loop.

Still, 4 matches left. Anything is possible in cricket.

I hope that in case Pakistan gets out from Tournament then PCB will take the necessary step to cure cricket in ground level not blame game.

#1 is the cause for 90% of their troubles. Unless they resume playing international cricket in Pakistan, the PCB will remain as cash strapped as ever. It not just affects the funds inflow. It also has a negative impact on the younger domestic players, who never get a chance to play with the international players (who are mostly based in the UAE nowadays).

Bangladesh have outshine today the WI team and have beaten SA and today will beat WI . They are creating some space for themself to be in top5 ranking in the chart and if they continue like this they leave the top side behind .

[Vishnu.Reang]

It was a good performance by Bangladesh, but you need to be consistent in case you want to get yourself listed among teams such as Australia and India. And right now the top four teams are Australia, India, England and New Zealand. The other teams are far behind these 4, and the gap between them seems to be increasing, especially with the poor form shown by South Africa and Pakistan.

Indeed Bangladesh played well today and got what they deserve. Congrats to Bangladesh Supporters.

They are creating some space for themself to be in top5 ranking in the chart and if they continue like this they leave the top side behind .

Bangladesh is completely unpredictable and they have the ability to defeat any team.

IIRC then Bangladesh was the Dream Breaker and defeated England twice in the last two world cups (2011 & 2015), also they were the reason to break Indian dream in 2007 world cup. That's three world cups in a row and now its time to see which team gets busted by Bangladesh in this world cup 2019.

Shakib's performance so far is superb, imo Bangladesh needs 2 more batsmen to support Shakib.
I won't say Bangladesh bowling department is bad, that's the pitch which is batting friendly and every team is scoring huge.


According to the current point table, England has a risk to slip out from the top 4 because England yet to play with Australia, New Zealand, and India - the top performers.
If England losses in 1 or 2 matches then there is a chance for Pakistan, Bangladesh, and West Indies to claim the 4th position. Maybe I'm over predicting.

I still think that New Zealand won't be able to make it to the semi-finals. It'll either be Pakistan/West Indies or Bangladesh.

The way Shakib played today's game was impressive. I hope that it doesn't go in waste and Bangalis succeed in upcoming matches and make their way to the semi-finals!

I agree with most of your points. However, I think there's a bit more to it than that, such as Pakistani players aren't welcomed in IPL, which is the biggest cricket league of the world where the players get to play with each other and realize their weaknesses. PSL is, of course, nothing if compared with IPL.

[vella85]

Like I mentioned in the other discussion thread about Bangladesh, they could be the dark horse of this World Cup and I even said that they could sneak into the top 4 and play in the semi-finals. They have shown that they can play well against the good teams and maybe this World Cup is their time to shine. It will take just one slip up from one of the top 4 teams and Bangladesh can sneak in. Right now that team could be New Zealand as they haven't played the top team yet so we could see Bangladesh make it, outside of the top 4 I think Bangladesh is the better team.

[Tipstar]

Really great performance from Bangaldeshi team. They have consistently performed well. They could have easily won over Sri Lanka if the match hadn't been abandoned.
Shakib Al Hasan is a legendary cricket player and he again led Bangaldesh to a win.

[Duzter]

This time the match schedules without pools is making a big change over each and every match. None could have expected such a massive win from Bangladesh. The final four were almost confirmed, but these match results show more changes to happen in the further days.
