Namibia vs Australia
That was a short match with Namibia being all out making 72 in 17 overs. Australia chasing the target of 73 completed it in 5.4 overs losing a wicket. Australia surely is one of the favorite for the cup and Namibia is lucky to meet them in this platform.

That was looking a one sided match and Australia proved it. First of all Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and they bowled excellently. I appreciate the bowling of Adam Zampa who collected 4 wickets. And at the end Australia restricted Namibia at 72 runs and all team of Namibia got out. And then Australia started their turn and they played really and they lost only one wicket and they chased the target in 5.4 overs. And the target was not high Namibia gave only 73 runs target and Australia chased it easily. Congratulations to Australia for this massive win against Namibia.

A one sided game from a Champion team Australia about how you perform against a low-level team and improve your RUN RATE. Australia performed like a champion in every match either its a big game or small.

Nepal vs Sri Lanka
Sad to see another match being abandoned due to rain. The timing and place of this tournament has been a bad one. A world cup should have been prioritized over any other games. The rain now could be a deciding factor for making a team to qualify for the super 8s and some not.

Today's match of Nepal vs Sri Lanka was very important for Sri Lanka. As the Sri Lankan team was badly defeated in two consecutive matches, Sri Lanka would definitely have a chance to win against Nepal in today's match. But the match was abandoned due to rain and Sri Lanka had to share the points with Nepal. To be honest Sri Lanka's fate is very bad.  Because the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 due to the fact that they lost the first two matches in the T20 World Cup badly. But if the match had not been abandoned today due to rain, Sri Lanka would have easily won against Nepal, but that's what happens with bad luck.

After this draw, Sri Lanka is almost out of the World Cup and its chances of going into the Super 8 are almost gone. Matches that are abandoned without playing any ball hurt both teams as they are closely focused on run rate and points.

I was thinking that USA may get to around 130-140 against India, but then they lost quite a few wickets lately. Once Nitish Kumar and Corey Anderson got out, the scoring rate also went down. At this point, Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jasdeep Singh are at the crease and they have 2 more overs to go. If they get to 115-120, then they should be happy about it. India fielded a full-strength side today, with bowling attack being led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.

As we have start of the match and Arshdeep takes two early wickets I was not sure about the USA to have three figures in this game because Indian bowling is currently at his best on these difficult tracks and things are favourable with their line and length as they are doing now for the last few months but still we have some good resistance and USA able to have 110 runs which are not enough for them against one of the best batting lineup of the world, but pitch is not easy which is surely going to have some positive point for the USA bowlers.

Mohammad Siraj and Juspirat Bumrah both having no success but if we are having easy win for the India then without any doubt I am going for the Man of the Match to Arshdeep Singh.

[marii awan]

USA ended up with 110-8 against India, with tailenders Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jasdeep Singh adding valuable runs towards the end. At one point it looked as if they may get to 130, but even this score is quite good given the fact that the tracks so far have been very supportive towards the bowlers. Still India may walk away with 2 points from this match, and USA need to contend with the fact that this match may not do much damage to their net run rate (which may be important later on).

It is a good total on this pitch and early wickets cause a lot of problems for the Indian team but what a performance by Arshdeep Singh. The way India restrict the USA is amazing and now they are trying to achieve this target and secure their position in the final 8.

I was quite surprised to see Jasprit Bumrah being hit for a few boundaries, that too against the weak US team. Both he and Mohammed Siraj went for more than 6 runs per over, and don't forget the fact that the pitch was quite supportive of pace bowling. It was Arshdeep Singh who limited the damage with dream-like figures of 4-0-9-4. He got important wickets, including those of Nitish Kumar and Harmeet Singh. And then Hardik Pandya also provided a lot of support, with his spell of 4-1-14-2.

After this draw, Sri Lanka is almost out of the World Cup and its chances of going into the Super 8 are almost gone. Matches that are abandoned without playing any ball hurt both teams as they are closely focused on run rate and points.

Bad time for Sri Lanka team from this t20 world cup because already they have lost 3 consecutive matches so till now their condition is over. However Sri Lanka will definitely have a chance to win against the Netherlands later. Moreover the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 after losing badly in the first two matches of the World T20. So from the next match we have to do our best. You can never underestimate Netherlands team because they have already shown best performance in t20. So you have to change your position by playing the rest of the match with proper planning.

After having good batting against spirited Indian bowling we are having interesting start of the Indian batting with Virat Kohli having his Golden duck against Saurabh Netravalkar and Rohit Sharma also give his wicket to same bowler with just after 2.4 overs we are having 10 runs on board and both Indian openers are back to pavilion right now we are having Rishabh Pant and SKY on the crease can we have another thriller or all action just ended it's interesting.

Pitch is surely still having troubling time for the batsmen and things are looking completely favourable for the bowlers, hopefully fans will be having paisa vasul performance from both teams.

[Sithara007]

Well.. what do we have here? India has already lost two very important wickets. Required run rate is much higher than current run rate, with Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant at the crease. Two of their best batsmen are gone (Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli), both of them picked up by former Mumbai player and current Oracle engineer Saurabh Netravalkar (currently having figures of 2-0-4-2). India will comfortably win this match, but it is definitely not going to be a one-sided match like some of us would have expected.

[JSRAW]

USA are fighting exceptionally well and now they have some serious openings here.

Indian middle order is not in good form. So far, Dubey, Jadeja and SKY have struggled in this USA's leg of WC. If they can get 2 more wickets then it's a game on.

Required run rate has gone above 7 runs per over. And it is really surprising to see Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube with strike rates in 70s and 60s (usually they have >150). American medium pacers are really troubling the Indian batsmen. Both Shadley van Schalkwyk and Corey Anderson are mixing it up. Just now Netravalkar dropped an easy chance of Suryakumar Yadav, and this is going to be extremely costly for the Americans. If that catch was taken, then there was a good chance that USA could have won this match.

Team USA set a target of 111 runs. We can't call it a bad collection on this pitch. However, India won the match very easily. India lost two wickets for 15 runs and their third wicket for 44 runs. Rohit and Virat are not batting well today.

Due to the responsible batting of Suryakumar Yadav and SHivam Dube, India won the match easily. Indian team has reached the target of victory by losing 3 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav was unbeaten with 50 runs from 49 balls and Dube with 31 runs. Bhumrah and Siraj did not bowl well today but Arshdip picked up four wickets for just 9 runs in 4 overs.

Yeah, the match could have been tighter or possibly thriller if Netravalkar wasn't generous to his schoolmate, at least he wasn't kind to another schoolmate Rohit so its fair lol.

IMO in this chase, those 5 run penalties did some good for SKY-Dube and they accelerated after that. Overall, the USA fought well and their participation did produce some nice memes.

Exclusive information, he didn't get enough allowance from his office to practice his fielding skills.

At the middle over the USA were ahead of team India and if they got one or two wickets then probably they could have made a history today, I see a lot of criticism about Dube from commentators which is unacceptable cause everyone struggle here not just him at least he got to some decent runs instead of gifting his wicket away that's a positive going forward to super 8.

USA team played very well and gave a target of 111 runs but India can beat USA team because the Indian team batting lineup is top of the  World and they will  qualify to super 8 . Indian team played last match against Pakistan and won this match. Indian team moral is very high and now the score on board is not difficult for Indian team because Indian team players are hard working.  Now the score of Indian team is 26 in 5 overs with fall of 2 wickets.Kuamr built 27 runs in just 23 balls but match will be interesting in next 5 overs and match will shift to Indian team. Because dangerous batmans are on the crease and they will hit and they will make partnership for the team and Indian team will win this match.

Indian team has qualified for Super eight USA set the target of 111 runs brilliant bowling by indian team they dominated on USA team Arshdeep Singh takes 4 wickets. Suryakumar make fifty which help his team to won this match by 7 wickets suryakumar and shivam dube played 72 runs partnership USA bowlers tried their best to won this match but unluckily to defend target of 111 runs. India won 3 out of 3 matches with six points they are top in Group A and qualified for next round india performing was outstanding throughout the tournament indian team will play his next match against Canada while USA will play last match with Ireland of group stages

The USA provided smaller targets. Even then the Indian team could not start their innings well. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma got out very quickly. India lost two wickets to collect only 15 runs. Rishab Pant also could not play a big innings. Pant got out after collecting only 18 runs. Still SUryakumar Yadav and SHivam DUbe batted very well.

At the end of 13 overs, India's collection was just 60 runs. India needed 51 runs from 42 balls to win. The entire scenario of the match changed in the 17th over. Two Indian batsmen collected 15 runs in this over. And still the Indian team reached the target of winning the match easily. Man of the match was Arashdip sing. He picked up four important wickets for just 9 runs.

Right, India squad reach for Super Eight sqauds for Defeating USA squad in today match and USA sqaud was not displayed very high and good performance in batting Inning and their sqaud also lose this match due to low quality of total and small number of scores which was collected today. At the beginning of Indian batting Inning, when both starter and good batter wickets was cleared out on crease Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both these batter was not expressed amazing strength with good hitting shots both are legend and legit member of Indian sqaud but next two batters Shivam Dube  and Suryakumar Yadav showcased their amazing batting skills and fully supported their sqaud and at end won this game with great batting partnership. Today Pant was also played very bad with collecting just 18 scores and then wiped out. Arshdeep Singh displayed very competitive inning in bowling and he wiped out 5 wickets of USA batter and restricted USA batters at 110 scores.

I never imagined the match between India and USA to happen like this. USA luckily managed to beat Pakistan, then they played a little competitive match against India despite giving a small target. New and weak team doing better than my expectation in the bowling friendly track of USA. The middle order helped India today to get the victory. They just played with patience to chase this small target.

The players of the Indian team were very patient, due to which the Indian team won the match by losing only three wickets. If the USA team could have performed a little better, it would have been very difficult for the Indian team to win. India managed to complete the target of just 111 runs without any pressure, Surayakumar Yadav was the highest scorer in the match with his own 59 runs.

I wonder if the equation for Pakistan to qualify has become too difficult especially in the India vs USA match. Especially in the target of 111 runs, India had to bat till 18.3 overs tomorrow where they were likely to complete the target within ten overs, they had to bat till over 18 overs only because of the pitch. In this direction, it is very likely that if Pakistan wins against Ireland in the next match, then Pakistan has a chance to qualify, on the other hand, USA has to lose against Ireland and the net run rate has to deteriorate, otherwise Pakistan's chances of qualifying will become very difficult.
