West Indies vs Afghanistan

The 40th match of the T20 World Cup group stage West Indies vs Afghanistan. Both teams are unbeaten so far, West Indies have won three out of three matches and Afghanistan have won three matches out of three matches. Today will be the first defeat of one of these two teams. Anyway today Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl. West Indies batted first and amassed a huge score of 218 runs in the allotted overs. Nicholas Pooran put in a brilliant performance scoring 98 off 53 balls, falling short of a century by just 2 runs.

Well it's really exciting match to watch between the two aggressive sides of the tournament where the unpredictable side west indies lose the toss but Afghan thinks they will get them while chase so they decided to allow them bat first but I think they were mentally prepared for such challenge so they utilize it properly and scored highest Target of the tournament and really surprised everyone. After that target afghan were really under pressure and unable to Handel situation and especially after they lose one of their main and high scoring opener gurbaz they really lose thier hope and some how we can say they lose 50% match here later some brutal collapse of thier middle order shift momentum toward west indies and thus they lose thier match which can may really effect thier moral

PNG vs New Zealand
It's last to watch of NewZeland because they are already out of the tournament and just to complete formalities of world cup they are playing his last match where papa new Guinea bat first to give a strong target after NewZeland allow them to bat after winning toss but they unfortunately scored a very low target and not even scored a 100 runs which indicates how weak they are and due to lack of experience they unable to get the ball on bat but I am really surprised while NewZeland chase because they haven't any quality bowler to defend such low target against strong Line up but they get three wickets of NewZeland before won the match and that the weakness which push NewZeland out of the tournament. Also it's last match of boult I think new Zealand will really miss him

Not a perfect ending for Kiwis fast bowler Trent Bolt as he announces his retirement from international cricket and as a key player you do not want this kind of exit where your team does not even qualify for the Super 8 and is eliminated from the group stage. Its very sure that NZ win this game easily and they do soo both teams are out of the world cup.

West Indies beat Afghanistan by a huge margin in the 40th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. In today's match, the players of the West Indies team have earned a lot of reputation with their great performance by winning by 104 runs. West Indies team players have shown excellent performance in both batting and bowling sites. The West Indies team has recorded the highest score so far in this World Cup. The West Indies team batted first and set a target of 219 runs to the Afghanistan team. The Afghanistan team was forced to surrender to the West Indies bowlers after losing all the wickets and collecting 114 runs in 16.2 overs. In today's match, the bowlers of the West Indies team were able to severely resist the batsmen of the Afghanistan team. Congratulations West Indies team for putting up a great match.

West Indies are the hot favorite to lift this trophy they are performing like a team and behind this team mastermind is THE GREAT SAMMY but no doubt the plan and the perfect execution from the players on the ground according to the situation is amazing they very much follow the instructions of Sammy and executed it perfectly. The opener of West Indies completely shatters the bowlers of AFG and they have no answer. This match went in the favor of West Indies from the ball and at the end, they won very easily and they are still beaten in this world cup.

T20 World Cup Super 8 Round

So finally we know that the T20 World first round has been finished today and today was the last match which was played between Afghanistan and West Indies. Now tomorrow the Super 8 riund's first match will be played. These are the teams which qualified for the Super Eight Round.

Group A
1. India
2. USA

Group B
1. Australia
2. England

Group C
1. West Indies
2. Afghanistan

Group D
1. South Africa
2. Bangladesh

Now I am looking that this round will be very exciting. I think these teams will qualify for the Semifinals. India, Australia, West Indies and South Africa. I can be wrong.  

The top 2 teams from each group have been divided into two groups, namely Super 8s Group1 and Super 8s Group2.
The distribution of the teams in these groups is as follows.

   

Both of these groups look strong and therefore we will get very close matches beginning from tomorrow. The first match will be played again by the Host nation United States of America and they will face South Africa while in the second match which will be played later tomorrow, 
West Indies will take on England, another nail bitter match. 

Super 8 teams are final now and everyone is excited to watch these encounters both groups consist of good and tough teams not even a single team is weak everyone performs in the group stage and progresses to the next round. Best of luck to all the teams and we are excited to see thrillers coming up this week.

Not a perfect ending for Kiwis fast bowler Trent Bolt as he announces his retirement from international cricket and as a key player you do not want this kind of exit where your team does not even qualify for the Super 8 and is eliminated from the group stage. Its very sure that NZ win this game easily and they do soo both teams are out of the world cup.

Trent boult is a main bowler of New Zealand team and he always played well in all formats and I like the Yorker of Trent boult. But think ,he will return back to his team because New Zealand team need him and they are weak team in the absence of Trent boult. We know New Zealand team is out of the tournament and that is disappointing but that is not a solution of that because New Zealand whole team played very bad and we can't give the credit to one player. They should win the match against Afghanistan but Scotland made a position in super 8 and we saw change in this World cup. New Zealand Cricket board should encourage him to rejoin the team because he is top most bowler of New Zealand and he is young player.

The first match of Group 2 of Super Eight USA vs South Africa will be played tomorrow. Although we are still uncertain which team will win this game, we can't say it correctly.  Although many of us will be betting on South Africa as per the match betting odds and expect them to win. But in the games that we have played, every batsman has played very disappointing batting in every game, if such batting performance is also in this match, then both the teams will try hard to win. But South Africa team is more likely to win, but I wouldn't say that they will win because USA team is also in good form. If the USA team can perform well in bowling, then they can hope to win against South Africa. And this match between the two teams will definitely be more interesting and exciting, as the team that wins will advance to the next round.

From where did you get these percentages of winnings for both teams ?

Looking at the odds, things are quite different as shown in the above percentages. I don't think that South Africa chances of winning this match are 61%. The odds suggest that they have more than 90% chance of winning.

By the way, if anyone wants to take risk and bet on USA, they will get above 5 odds. The form they're in at the moment, you never know another upset may happen and also South Africa was lucky in some of their wins in the group stages.

The South African team will surely perform well in this match, as they are still marked as the strongest team of this season. South Africa team performance is very good because they have batting line and bowling line can attack widely. USA team players are very experienced but relatively less strong than South Africa team, because in past matches South Africa team's margin of victory was more. 
There is definitely a huge difference between these two teams as per the betting in this match, although the win in this match should not be decided but based on the team margin I would say South Africa team has a 79% chance to win.

South Africa VS United States

Today will be the first match of the Super 8 group stage between South Africa vs USA. In this World Cup, strong teams have been seen losing against smaller teams. However, South Africa is the stronger team among these two teams today. USA qualified for the Super Eight by defeating a strong team like Pakistan. On the other hand, South Africa has performed well in this tournament. So far, South Africa have won 4 of the 4 matches they have played. If I had to predict this match today, I would definitely put South Africa ahead. Because South Africa's batting and bowling lines are both much stronger than USA's. South Africa has a high chance of winning today's match.

[libert19]

Let's look at SA, played all their group stage matches against minnow teams, despite playing against minnows thrashed none and against Nepal they merely won by 1 run — so i'm not cancelling chances of USA winning against SA.

Super 8 teams are final now and everyone is excited to watch these encounters both groups consist of good and tough teams not even a single team is weak everyone performs in the group stage and progresses to the next round. Best of luck to all the teams and we are excited to see thrillers coming up this week.

The group of Super 8s has been released and now I will tell you about groups and teams. There are four teams in every group. In total, there are 8 teams that are divided into 2 groups.

In Group A:
   *Afghanistan
   *Bangladesh
   *Australia
   *India
In Group B:
  *South Africa
   *United States of America
   *West Indies
  *England

So, these are the teams and the group that qualify for Super 8s, and now a small World Cup starts from here  
From both sides, the top two teams will be picked and after that they will play Semi final against each other. Although as i said before its sad to see that we do not have New Zealand and Pakistan teams at this stage of the World Cup.

How can you call this stage of the World Cup, a small or mini World Cup:
In fact this is the most interesting phase of this World Cup where we shall see the matches between the most tough teams and indeed it will be full of fun and entertainment.


I think group A is very easy as we can see there are Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, and India too. In which, I think for sure, the Australian team and Indian team will reach to the Semi fiinals. However, the point to note is that in the Semi final, India and Australia cannot meet each other but they both can be meet in the finals. Don’t know why I had the last time vibes in 2023. 

It is an easy group and Bangladesh and Afghanistan too can be easily beaten by India and Australian team too. Let’s see what will happen. After a few hours from now, the super 8s matches will start.

South Africa VS United States

So for now the super 8 round has been started. And today these team will play the first match of super 8 round. And in both teams I am looking that South Africa is looking little stronger team so I hope they will play well. By the way we can't underestimate the USA team too because we are looking that they are taking the benifits of home ground so they have chances to qualify for the semifinals too. So let's wait for the match and let's see which team will perform well and sow a good performance to win the match. My best wishes are with South Africa. So let's hope they will win.

[AirtelBuzz]

The group of Super 8s has been released and now I will tell you about groups and teams. There are four teams in every group. In total, there are 8 teams that are divided into 2 groups.

In Group B:
  *South Africa
   *United States of America
   *West Indies
  *England

From both sides, the top two teams will be picked and after that they will play Semi final against each other. Although as i said before its sad to see that we do not have New Zealand and Pakistan teams at this stage of the World Cup.

Maybe we are going to enjoy the crowded and exciting matches of this year's T20 World Cup with the start of Super Eight matches. In this round all the teams will try to give their best performance and they will have only one goal to reach the Super Four round.

When the T20 World Cup started I never imagined that Pakistan and New Zealand teams would play so badly and even get out of the tournament in the first round. Really sorry for the New Zealand and Pakistan team as they could not give their best performance even proved themselves worthy. Today's match between the South Africa Cricket Team and the USA Cricket Team begins the spectacular matches of the Super Eight.

South Africa VS United States

So for now the super 8 round has been started. And today these team will play the first match of super 8 round. And in both teams I am looking that South Africa is looking little stronger team so I hope they will play well. By the way we can't underestimate the USA team too because we are looking that they are taking the benifits of home ground so they have chances to qualify for the semifinals too. So let's wait for the match and let's see which team will perform well and sow a good performance to win the match. My best wishes are with South Africa. So let's hope they will win.

Basically I think United States of America team qualified to the Super 8 round due to team Pakistan. If Pakistan won that match so USA couldn't qualify. The Super was not good when Muhammad Amir gave 18 runs in a single over. And this was a huge target which they need to cover in a single over.
Well this is not the topic. Topic is that who can win the today match so their are 50 50 chances which I am looking because South Africa squad is not strong in my point of view. And we can't underestimate the USA too. So there are the chances that USA can win the match. By the way this too much earlier to guess but I am looking that USA can give a surprise.

I am very excited that T20 World Cup is reaching its exciting phase with Super Eight teams matches. This is where real competition begins and teams will give it their all to advance to Super Four round. I must admit I was also shocked by early exit of Pakistan and New Zealand two strong teams that I thought would make it far in tournament. It is unfortunate that they couldn't showcase their full potential. But now my focus shifts to thrilling matches ahead starting with South Africa vs USA  match. I'm eager to see which teams will rise to occasion and make it to next round. Super Eight stage is always intense and I am ready for some edge of the seat cricket action.

[3kpk3]

Pakistan not even making it to the super 8 is honestly not really surprising considering their bad performances in recent years. What actually surprised me was seeing a team like NZ getting knocked out like they were nothing.

Anyway, USA vs South Africa will be an interesting one where I am expecting the South Africans to prove why they shouldn't be underestimated.

How can you call this stage of the World Cup, a small or mini World Cup:

It's because he is a dumdum who is whining because his favorite team(Pakistan) got eliminated so early.

If it's a spin track then Afghanistan will give nightmares to India and Australia. Because of Afghanistan, New Zealand booked their home tickets so it would be unfair to Afghans if someone underestimates em.

Similarly, Bangbros did well to qualify. They were in shambles before the WC but they stepped in as a team so no one should take them lightly and don't forget they always put up a good show against India.

[CPNpr]

India, Australia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are in this group. Group B has England, South Africa, West Indies and the United States. This is the official fixture of the quarter finals. These matches will surely be very interesting. According to me, four good teams will play the semi-finals from here - India, Australia, West Indies and South Africa.

Talking about the Group B, I think that group B is not too much easy either but we can analyze the top 2 teams, England and South Africa according to me that can be go into the semi finals but there are also some chances for the West Indies team. By the way, group A is also good and it is a stupidity to talk about this because the two good teams and two weak teams are gonna be playing in each group, so as ICC announced the group so I think it is surely true because ICC is not any joke. They always decide after a full investigation of any decision.  

Anyway once we have the first few matches in each group, whereby each team plays their first matches in Super 8s, the situation will be very much clear as who is heading towards the semi finals. Also, teams are not carry forwarding their points from the group stages and it will be a fresh battle altogether.

Yes, but I think group B could be tough because the United States of America didn’t come slow in this World Cup but still it could be hard to play against them and also West Indies is a hard team and they have done a good performance in this World Cup until now.

So, let’s see what will happen but I still think it is a tough group and these matches had been close finish while group A is very easy and Australia and India too can qualify easily for the semi's. We should not underestimate Afghanistan as it is a stronger team than most of people think but still they have no history of victories when compared with Australia or India.

I have equal respect for all the Super 8s teams for making it to the second stage of the T20 World Cup. Success will depend on the effort they put in to win. This World Cup might not be the most exciting, but there will still be some madness and unexpected outcomes due to the rain, and anything can happen. All the Super 8s teams have a lot of experience, so it's hard to favor any one team. I hope we don't see any one-sided games and that we see strong fighting spirit from everyone. Personally, I'm looking forward to the USA, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan games.
