Today in this competition total two semi final matches will be played and first semi final match finished a few times ago Botswana Squad against Uganda Squad. Botswana sqaud was begun this match for batting inning first by calling of Ugnada squad. In this match, Uganda squad was terrible and too good in all innings. In beginning of match, Uganda squad clear out all squad's batters of Botswana sqaud only for 62 scores but they played all overs and in last delivery their all squad wiped out. Then, Uganda squad batting inning, they easily defended this low quality target after playing 5.2 overs, only starter batter enough for this defending target. Next second semi final match will be played after some time in between Kenya squad against Malawi sqaud.

Phill Salt was really great and he made the whole match salty hahah!

Just like his name is salt, he salted the entire match hahaha.I feel like the West Indies team is getting upset with him for his performance as the entire West Indies team has been blown away by his single performance.
It was a great game to watch as both teams fought hard to win and in the end England got a great win.
Andrew Russell bowled and batted very well in the first match.But he didn't bowl very well in the third match, miscuing 3.5 overs and conceding 50 runs which was very costly.

It cannot be said for sure who will win in the game of cricket, it is proved based on the performance on the field.In the third T-20 match between West Indies and England both the teams played well as they both scored 200 plus runs in each innings of the match.West Indies batted first and collected 222 runs where Nicholas Pooran scored 82 runs off just 45 balls.His innings of 86 runs included four sixes and six sixes.
If I give more credit to England for winning it is Philip Salt.Philip Salt played very very well in this match.He completed his T-20 career century and was even Man of the Match.England beat the West Indies by seven wickets.

Exactly you are right the performance decide that who will win the match. But when I saw the performance of West Indies as compare to the last Matches, that was awesome. And they just went above 200 runs and made 222 runs. At that time I was thinking that England could not this Match but the Phill Salt was really great and he made the whole match salty hahah!
He played really well from start to end and remained not out.
Sometimes man think something else and happen something else and this match proves that.

Philip Salt alone led the entire match and was on the field from first to last to win the match. His performance was amazing. It is always seen that after the series win, the team does not have much pressure to win the last match, but the way West Indies batted in the last match, it seemed that they might win the match in one stage. 222 score is certainly not less in T20 cricket and at that time it was really difficult to think that England will win the match. Philip Salt was unbeaten with a strike rate of 194 along with Harry Brook whose performance was even better as he scored 31 runs off just 7 balls at a strike rate of 442. If such an aggressive game is played in T20 cricket, even if there are 250 runs, chasing it is not impossible.

Uganda has defeated Botswana dominantly in the semi-final by winning by 10 wickets. The other Semi-final is yet to be played between Kenya and Malawi.

I can see Kenya is unbeaten in this tournament so far winning all 3 matches of group stage. Malawi on the other hand has only won 2 of the 3 group matches. That only loss came against Uganda who has already reached the final. Statistically looking, Kenya looks stronger as they won 3 of their group matches in a dominant fashion. @ThemePen, Yes, I also think the final will be between Kenya and Uganda and Kenya will win the tournament.

For those unaware, tomorrow is IPL auction, starting 1 PM IST. Coetzee, Starc, Cummins, Madhushanka will likely get high bids. Pat cummins should captain the team wherever he goes

Am really excited for this auction. Cummins is amazing in the test and ODI formats, but sucks in the T-20 format which is why he shouldn't be handed captaincy wherever he ends up going.

Also, I feel really sad for Rohit who might not play in the upcoming season despite his huge contributions to MI and the IPL.

He has been retained that means he will play but not as captain and there are lot of rumors/speculations about this on social media but we don't know what is the real truth but as per the veterans this decision can't be made without discussing with Rohit.

@libert19, On the batting we may expect Head, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin will probably go for the highest bid and I expect this year we may see new record for costliest buy since the many teams have huge purse. Previous costliest sold player Sam Curran– Rs 18.50 Cr. – Punjab Kings (2023).

I agree with you brother, I also see standings table of this competition Kenya squad total played three matches against these squads Botswana, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Kenya squad has emerged fight against all of these squads. But in current match, their performance was going good in batting inning and better than previous match. With batting of three overs, their batters collected 18 scores with no lost of batter. Rushab Patel batter successfully collected 13 scores by playing 10 deliveries and other starter batter Collins Obuya also collected 2 scores by batting 5 deliveries, I hope these batters build up strong and long batting combination and made much runs for their squad. Malawi sqaud also seems strong and we do not underestimate the performance of these squads.

That's true, I mentioned about it in India cricket thread. There ought to be yes nod from rohit before making Hardik captain

History has shown, costly players usually don't play up to their cost, so hopefully bidders won't overdo it. I feel players also feel pressure due to high purchase, pressure to play good and in return they do worse.

In 1st semi final Uganda won toss and bowls first Botswana made only 62 runs in 20 overs excellent bowling by Uganda bowlers Bilal Hassun takes 8/3 wickets in 4 overs Uganda chase down the target 65 in 6th overs without lost of any wicket Ssesazi 34 runs on 16 and Roger mukasa 26 on 16 balls help Uganda team to chased the target early Uganda won 1st semi final by 10 wickets Uganda played well start of the tournament while Botswana failed to set big target in semi final which causes lost single handedly

Damn, true. Sam Curran, Benstokes, Yuvi, Pat cummins can be the best examples for this while contrastingly players bagged at the base price is becoming the future part of the teams and the best example is Rinku who is banging the doors for finisher spot in 2024 T20 WC.

I am excited to see the Auction tomorrow because few teams released a lot of their players and need to build from the scratch now.

How bad Botswana played today. Couldn't able to gives a good target in the crucial semi final match. All their hardworking comes to an end with a worst performance. 62 runs in 20 overs and 65 runs in 5 overs show the strength of Uganda team. Batting score card from Botswana laugh me. No player is able to score a good runs. How shame is that the highest score is 13 and 3 player out with duck. bilal hassan,Ssenyondo,Alpesh Ramjani and Masaba all have great balling performance today. Batting is also remarkable as how good they are to chase target in just 5 overs. i think Uganda will win this final.

Kenya has beaten Malawi and they will play against Uganda in the final. It was no surprise they won, but the match was very close. Kenya gave a target of 139 but after DLS it was required to score 44 runs in 5 overs for Malawi. Malawi came very close and fell 5 runs short.

Kenya vs Uganda will happen tomorrow. I believe Kenya will take it all. I hope Kenya wins the upcoming match and return to their old days of glory. They used to be a good team and used to play bilateral series against some of the good teams currently like Bangladesh. But now they have become a team which nobody knows about. They are making a return.

Uganda won the toss and first decided bowling. Botswana batsman makes 8 run in 3 over and Uganda no any wicket against Botswana batsman. Botswana batsman could not worked hard and struggle. Botswana batsman makes 32 run in 11 over and 4 outs. This is very bad condition for Botswana batsman. Botswana could not played very well. Botswana batsman makes 62 run in 20 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Uganda batsman. This is very easy target for Uganda batsman. Uganda batsman complete this target and won the match. Uganda batsman makes 63 run in 6 over and 0 outs. Uganda bowler could worked hard and struggle and won the match.The Botswana batsmen did not show any effort.  If they make more than 150 runs.  But their bowlers could control them.

A lot of times they bring in players for a huge amount of money and the player also comes into the team with a lot of expectations. But in the end, he does not perform as well as he was supposed to. And that causes a lot of problems. Because most of the time the team is made around him. So it starts to be a big problem for the team.

I would actually like to see the teams that build from scratch. Because I do not want to see the same players play for the same team for a long period of time. Because what's the point of having a tournament like this then?

Kenya won by 4 wickets against Malawi by DLS method in second semi final. The player of the match is Neil Mugabe for his amazing batting performances scored 56 runs unbeaten in just 42 balls. Keny batting first scored 138 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Rushab Patel played well scored important 32 runs in just 25 bslls. Mawi bowling performance is good Donnex Kansonkho bowling outstanding picked 4 crucial wickets by giving 16 runs in 3 overs and Moazzam Baig picked 1 wicket. By DLS method target is shorter and Malawi scored 39 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 5 overs.

Here we go people. IPL 2024 auction time. Sam Curran's preposterous 18.5 cr bid will most probably be broken by someone being bought for 20+ cr and that someone could be Daryll Mitchell in my opinion.

Shahrukh Khan will probably get the highest bid for an uncapped player thanks to his finishing skills. Excited!

In my opinion, that oction is in start. Record will be break on Viral Kohli and Rohit Sharma because Indian businessmans invest money in  their own batsmans. They invest on foreign players but they prefer first their own players. Indian IPL investor will break the record and they will end the  oction on big players like MS Dhoni.

Now it's time for investors  to make money . They will invest on big players especially prety zenta will invest on Maxx well and now Maxwell is in form batsman. And prety zenta will make the new record in my opinion.

As we are having early media reports this time we are going to have new records for investment with few players are under radar to have historic amounts and for me Australians can break the records because currently they are at their best in all formats even this huge amount never pay back rightly many times IPL most expensive players fall like crap as we have Sam Curran who was completely failure and few more examples are available but IPL is all about money and personal likes so lets watch now in this season who is going to have huge amounts from rich Indians.
I am feeling not good about Rohit Sharma because this is not a good way to sidelined him Mumbai Indians officials needs to do something different for his long services for this franchise because without doubt he was one of the best in this team for long time.

[Heulahee]

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.
