2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis

[Ayiranorea]

India has started slowly, 82 for 1, Rohit was gone earlier. India till now playing nicely in the whole tournament. O think they will get easy win on this match as well.

From my view this match is not gonna be a easy win for India, after the start of the second innings only we can come to a conclusion regarding the winning probability for each team. West Indies have made wins that weren't predicted to be on its side. The team gets stronger as well goes low anytime which means it lacks consistency in the game and the same make the games a hard fight back at times.

I think so, although the stats are in favor of India. Both team has met 5 times in world cup probably and win all the matches. Their performance are also better than previous I think. Will India can score 300+ today? It's only 126 after 26.1 overs. 3rd wicket fallen.

At this moment West Indies score is WI 84/4 (21.0) . The shity started by West Indies I think. They lost 4 wickets very fast and Now the team is depending on Hetmyer and Holder. At this moment according to the performance of WI want to say they lost their all wicket before touching the target.

Poor performance by WI --
Isn't it the world cup event going on? Win or loss is not all about, but a good match also matters. Ind vs Afg was a good match.

I don't think in Pak vs Ban, Pakistan should be the favorite. Bangladesh, at the moment, doing great and having the best performance of their entire history. Their batting line up is huhe strong.

Don't rely on Bangladesh's past performance, Bangladesh is totally unpredictable. Sometimes they play awesome and sometimes shitty, not just avg. There is a lack of consistency on their avg gameplay IMO.

West Indies have been playing poor cricket in the World Cup, despite having players who can single handedly influence the game if they wish to. Indian players were outstanding in this match, they gave West Indies players no room to play their natural game, and hence they won the game comfortably. I’ll second that Bangladesh is not a reliable team to place a bet on, as their form is inconsistent and they often tend to choke in big matches.

But if you look at the practice matches you can see how they performed even with poor captaincy but in main matches they are not performing well.
I completely suspect that big match fixing is going in this world cup. It is not worthy to because of the dirty organising over the this series. However, today Indian team won the match.

The remaining matches include:

after the '=' sign, I've placed the team that I feel is going to win in that particular match

Aus vs. Ban
Eng vs. Sri = Eng wins
Ind vs. Afg = Ind wins
WI vs. NZ = NZ wins
Pak vs. SA = Pak wins
Ban vs. Afg = Ban wins
Eng vs. Australia = Eng wins
Pak vs. NZ
WI vs. Ind = Ind wins

Amazing, I got 6 out of 7 predictions right.

That was a nice NRR boost for India and they still have a game in hand so they could potentially finish on top of the table. Now the matches start to get interesting as teams outside the top 4 still have a shot at finishing 4th. It starts with the Sri Lanka v SA, if SL can get the win they will be on equal points with England, I can't see them jumping England as SL have a poor NRR. Then we should see Pakistan jump England and move into 4th as they play Afghanistan which they should be able to beat. Now we are down to the business end and still there are three teams outside the top 4 that can make the finals so its going to be exciting time for them teams and supporters.

[Vishnu.Reang]

A win against South Africa today can give Sri Lanka two more points and place them at the same level as England. The advantage for England is that they are having a better NRR. But neither of the two teams looks like the favorites to enter semi-finals as of now. Tomorrow Pakistan can win the match against Afghanistan, and they'll be having 9 points. Another win, and they are in the semis.

 Let's see what Pakistan can do to win against Afghanistan, because the results can be judged once the actual game happens. England do have that advantages and I guess they'll able to make it to the finals, if no circumstances that could contribute to their possible loss.

[virasog]

South Africa registered only one win at CWC19 so far. ICC Cricket World Cup and South Africa don't coordinate. They never show up for the big games. They completely disappointed us. Tragic for South Africa, however the match is in Sri Lanka's favor. Sri Lanka should win the game.

Although South Africa is out of the world cup but they will still want to win the last two matches left for them.  Sri Lanka is still in this world cup and they must win this match. I am hopeful to see an interesting contest as both teams are more or less of same caliber and talent. Although i do believe that SA has disappointed in the WC and this is one of their poorest performance in the world cup.

Yes, I think Sri Lanka will give their best for winning the match. They have played 6 matches and now they have 6 points So if Sri Lanka will win todays match then they will go to the top 5 in the points table. And there is a chance to play Semifinals if they will win the last all matches. Hope the match will very interesting.

That's good to see maximum win on the predictions. Have you spend funds on any of the match.
Also most of the predicted winning team has the lowest odd on almost every gambling website.

How about the team to reach semifinals and the two teams to get qualified for the finals.

[sujonali1819]

At this moment Australia and India already the way on semifinals. So what do you think about the other 2 team who will qualified for semifinals. England, new Zealand, pakistan or Bangladesh?  How you will predict this? Plz explain here..

I have said from the start that Bangladesh is the dark horse to make the finals however they have a tough match coming up against India so I'm not sure if they can make it now unless they cause a massive upset and win. Pakistan is the team that can make the finals as they have an easy match coming up against Afghanistan and then Bangladesh which could be a match to decide which teams makes the finals. For New Zealand I think they could be safe due to their good NRR even if they lose to Australia in their up coming match. This is why I said we got some exciting matches to look forward to as most of the games are vital for England, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Sri Lanka blew their chance losing to SA so I can't see them making the finals now.

My final 4

1.Australia

2.India

3.New Zealand

4.Bangladesh or Pakistan

Yes I am leaving England out because they have a tough run home.

That's where you're wrong. England has worked really hard to get here in the World Cup. They have proven to be a great team during the other tournaments. They can be under the pressure but it doesn't change the fact that they have one of the best batsmen in the world. They will use it to the advantage to beat India and qualify for the semi-finals.

[Sithara007]

Those who think that either Bangladesh or Pakistan can qualify need to think again. I know that it is going to be tough for England. My prediction is as follows:

ENG: win against NZ, loss to India. To finish with 10 points.
PAK: win against AFG, loss to BAN. To finish with 9 points.
BAN: win against PAK, loss to India. To finish with 9 points.

The 4th semi-final spot in all probability belongs to England.

That's a fair prediction, but the fourth spot will have a hard fight. England seems to be in the tough situation as the team it has play has already qualified. Those two matches can't be predicted to be on the side of England though they have the home ground support.

If England wins tomorrow against India, then the further matches will be very interesting as Pakistan and Bangladesh will be under the compulsion to win to stay on the top.

Well, I think Pakistan will not lose to Bangladesh and they will finish up with 11 points which take them straight to the 4th position. And the results of other matches do not matter.

Anyways, its a do die situation for Bangladesh, Pakistan and England and we are going to see some exciting matches in which these three teams are involved.

[UmerIdrees]

Surely Pakistan is coming to take two additional points from Afghanistan. However, Pakistan has no consistency in their performance in CWC19 except last two games. As Afghanistan beats Pakistan in warm up, will they do it again in today's match?

A focus of public attention also put in New Zealand vs Australia match. I supposed to state NZ will win today!

That's the unpredictable nature of Pakistani team that they can beat the best team on any day or loss to the weakest team. We cannot grantee that Pak will win today unless they win it.

Australian are consistence in nature and this will mean that they will win this match too against Newzealand (seeing their current form).
