Vishnu got 4th wrong in the row,  
Amazing victory by India. What a wonderful start to the campaign. Go blue!
To many up-downs in the table today. Vennali made a impressive jump by 5 positions. Competition is getting close and tougher.
In the ongoing match, New Zealand is chasing comfortably. If the same things continue, NZ will win easily. Hope it ends as 'Easy Win' for NZ.

If New Zealand get an easy win (looks like they will have it) then he will comeback with this match and with him you will also earn 2 points. And this two points will take you to the top place in the leader board. I see the competition are getting tight. I never thought my picks will be that effective :-P

Edit: New Zealand lost Williamson. 160 for 3 now.
Edit2: And another down LOL. What is going on?

Yay! I got 2 points but forgot to bet on the BAN match. NZ are winning this match so easily and I missed my chance. 

I betted on the other matches but this time I'm really not sure about Round 3 teams as both look equally strong.

New Zealand just own the match against BAN by 2 wickets and 17 balls remaining. The match was not so easy for NZ I think. They already lost their 8 wickets.  So if Ban score were little bit more about 270-280 It was better for BAN and difficult for New Zealand.

This round is not good for me as i won this first match bet of Kiwi's Win. Anyways Bangladesh team showed great spirit and commitment and they could give tough times to the big teams in their further matches.

Bangladesh cricket team is one of the emerging team as of now they are having good players compared to the previous years but still they don't have match winners so that I can able to compete and win something but best tea in the cricket will beat Bangladesh so easily.we have to agree that they played cricket yesterday but New Zealand played better than them which caused them to be losing side.

Bangladesh team performed well, however, 244 isn't sufficient on this pitch. Yes, Around ~280 was a decent score on this wicket. Even BAN put a lot of pressure on NZ, there lots of room need to improve on their fielding in the following game.

Congrats to all who got the Margin points, since the regular point was too easy to earn in this match :-P

The result was not surprising at all. SA have been playing horribly in recent times and their campaign might end very quickly at this rate. On the other hand, India could have finished this quickly, but did the smart thing by taking it deep towards the end.

New Zealand has been bowling really well so far and they would have cruised to a win, but collapsed at the end barely winning the match which shows that their middle order is not that strong and they need to work on that area.

We have Australia and Windies match today at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

What can we expect as of now?

1. Batting average is close to 350 runs in this venue, same ground where England once scored the high total of 481 runs.
2. The weather report is okay for now, but one does not rely on English Weather, this could change anytime.
3. Short boundaries, little grass on wicket after some time flat pitch. That means winning the toss could be very crucial. Team batting second would have an edge because these days every team like to chase in same conditions.

Both team looking strong and both teams have 50-50 chance in this match because both sides have world class hitter ( extra edge Windies ) Oz team is overall good ( strong bowling attack).

This match is a real test for the Windies team.


Windies won the toss and opted to bowl first so I chose them and it's seems to me that I am the only one rooting for them + I see Mz2004 too. So that's makes us 2

I have so many stakes for Australia that if they lose then I will have to stop gambling for the next two weeks. Who thought they will lose 4 wickets in first 10 overs and will manage to score only 40 runs (8.5 overs)

After Australia were 79/5, steven smith with carey and coulter nile played well, particularly coulter nile is playing superb and he is nearly 90 runs nearby to score century and made a good score for Australia now they are scoring 300+ which is a good score to defend. West Indies lost the good chance to win this match, now hope that they bat well and win this match.

Australia lost their last wicket. Score 288 which means WI will need 289 runs to win this match.

I was thinking they will cross the 300 runs mark but in the 49th over they lost both Coulter-Nile and Starc. Same balls, same catch in the same area. Anyway, at some stage it was looking like that Australia may not score even 150 runs. From this perspective giving 289 runs target is something unexpected. Now let's see how they defend it.

Australia needs wicket which they know very well. 

[JSRAW]

Best of luck with your betting Royse.

I do believe that Oz faught back with brilliance but still below par score in this pitch and windies can chase down this target comfortably. Unless windies batsmen play average cricket. Pitch is very good for batting right now. Oz need their A game with bowling and fielders need to support their bowlers, they need luck on their side as well.

Yea on the first stage Australia's condition was too bad because they lost 5 wickets quickly which was very unpredictable. And I personally really can not believe that the world biggest team can to cross more than 200 runs Against West Indies. But Smith and Coulter-Nile changed the score which is also unpredictable based on first situation. I think this match will be difficult for both to win.

What a comeback form OZ who where at one point of time even where finding difficult to even cross 200 but Coulter-Nile change the way for OZ and now WI are 148/3 requiring another 141 runs and 23 overs to go. This would go OZ way if they can take couple of more wickets from here .

@Royse777 placing a bet on Australia was a risky call in my opinion, as I feel West Indies is a strong team and you should avoid placing a bet against them. Australia however stunned me with their performance today, first they collapsed and then towards the end they managed to reach a respectable total. West Indies need only 37 runs in 29 balls, hence the only way Australia can win is by taking those remaining four wickets which I do hope they take and you win your bet.

[JSRAW]

Windies lost their chance of winning this match only because of their 20-20 mindset tbh.

One wicket left now.

Congrats Royse for your bet.

It's not 20-20 mindset, they play cricket like that always, that is why West Indies is one of the unpredictable team, they can beat any top team but can lose against lower level team too.

The other team which is unpredictable is Pakistan. They can win or lose to any team any time.
For today's match, i think West Indies lost the winning match from their hands by doing silly and rash batting.

[Harkorede]

I also made a four out of four predictions, but I got screwed by the margin points.  

Congrats to Royse and Vennali for leading round 2.

[Pffrt]

Missed you guys. I am back now.

New Zealand just own the match against BAN by 2 wickets and 17 balls remaining.

If Mushi could get Williamson, the match could have different result. No one got a better score without them. It was really heart breaking.

Australia proved that they are the real champion despite losing 5 early wicket and still scoring 288, as well as win the match.
