We have two world cup warmup matches scheduled for today. Bangladesh will take on England, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. And in the second match New Zealand will be playing against South Africa at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. I am not sure about the weather at Guwahati, but I heard that it is raining non-stop at Trivandrum. So the second match may get washed out. India's final warmup match is scheduled for tomorrow, at Trivandrum against Netherlands. Once again, this match is under the threat of rain interruption.

In the first match which you have mentioned. Bangladesh vs England. In my point of view England is more strong as compare to Bangladesh and England will win this match but Bangladesh can give a tuogh time to England.

And the second match, as you said, I think they will not play because if we see the previous two matches which already affected due to rain. And may be today we will see that rain will interfere again. Not sure but it can.

This is helpful in predicting weather forecasts for the World Cup to some extent or at least will give a general trend about the upcoming weather. Thank you.

Rain has been significantly affecting the cricket matches for the past month or two, and this time, it's the World Cup. Hopefully, there will be no rain in today's warmup games, and we will see some action.

In the first match which you have mentioned. Bangladesh vs England. In my point of view England is more strong as compare to Bangladesh and England will win this match but Bangladesh can give a tuogh time to England.

On paper, England is a very strong team, but in subcontinent conditions, you cannot keep Bangladesh out of the contest. The way BAN played in the last match, we might see an upset in the warmup matches.

As per the weather information, Bangladesh vs England match and New Zealand vs South Africa match are likely to be abandoned due to rain. Meteorologists have said that with intermittent rains, there may be downpours in the region, so there are fears about these two warm-up matches. If this match between Bangladesh and England is abandoned due to rain, England will miss two warm-up matches as their first match against India has already been abandoned due to rain. 
On the other hand, if the match between South Africa and New Zealand is abandoned due to rain, South Africa will miss out on playing two warm-up matches as they were unable to field in the first match against Afghanistan due to rain. 
Even if the match is not abandoned due to rain, it is more likely to be played in fewer overs.

Bangladesh lost patience in this match and started batting today. Because between the opening two batsmen, Liton Das made a small run and left the field. Currently Mushfiqur Rahim and Nazmul Hasan Shanto are two quality and experienced batsmen in Bangladesh squad but they played very badly today. Bangladesh supporters had a lot of hope to collect enough runs from the bat of these two but it was not possible in any way. Because the England team's bowling line is very strong due to which Bangladesh's experienced batsmen cannot stay patiently on the field for a long time. However, Mahmudullah Riyad and Mehdi Hasan Miraj are standing till now, if these two batsmen can survive then it is definitely not possible to collect some good runs.

Yes there are two matches but the match between new Zealand and Africa is stop due to rain. The condition of march is such that New Zealand has 171 runs and a single player is out.

Devon Conway and Kane Walliamson has left batting and during batting Devon scored 78 and Williamson gain 37 runs. If rain does not stop then this match have no results at all.

Second match is also started between England and Bangladesh in which Bangladesh scored 153 runs in overs of 30 and 5 players are out. If Bangladesh give the target of 250 run then match will be tough for both the teams. The team of England is strong but spinning of Bangladesh is very good.

New Zealand vs South Africa, 7th Warm-up game New Zealand are batting in the first innings, and they scored 171 runs in 29 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. At the moment the game is stopped due to rain, otherwise the New Zealand batsmen could have scored a lot of runs by chatting brilliantly. Moreover, two New Zealand batsmen got retd hurt today, Kane Williamson and Devon Conway both scored good runs.  However, today's match was interrupted due to rain due to which both the teams are facing problems. The match will be suspended until the weather changes, with rain threatening the match.

New Zealand batsmen are playing well. This team is in good rhythm. They have the potential to do well in this World Cup. New Zealand collected 220 runs losing only 1 wicket. Although they lost 1 wicket, four batsmen of the squad batted. Williamson and Conway are now in the dressing room due to retired hurt. Conway scored 78 and Williamson scored 37 runs. We are not seeing good bowling from the South African bowlers. They are not able to pick up wickets. The South African captain used 9 of his bowlers. No other bowler except Lungi Ngidi was in control. There is a possibility of South Africa falling behind due to bowling weakness in this World Cup.

In the second warm-up match between Bangladesh vs England, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. The two opening batsmen started well in the last match but these two openers could not start well against England. In the third over, Liton Das returned to the pavilion with a catch to the wicketkeeper. Later, England's bowlers were able to pick up several more wickets against Bangladesh. At the moment the match between Bangladesh and England is stopped due to rain, before the rain Bangladesh collected 153 runs for 5 wickets where the game ended in 30 overs. Rain was forecast beforehand and the pitch continued to rain before the 30 overs were played as predicted. The game will start again after the rain ends.

Bangladesh vs England match is delayed for rain, if match will start i think BD can be all out today because ENG is very strong team comparing with BD, they already lost 5 wickets in 30 overs, but i believe if BD can play 50 overs their target will be 250-270 although it will not be hard target for the England team i think. So today this warm-up match win probability is 90% for ENG.

In ICC World Cup Warm up series mostly matches interrupted due to rain and those matches overed without any result and was not see their performances. But New Zealand vs South Africa 7th match now continued and at this moment New Zealand bat performance brilliant. They scored 229 runs in 36.4 overs and lost only 1 wickets. Now current batsman at the pitch is T.Latham and G.Phillips. He build up good batting partnership and if they continue their partnership then new Zealand will set a great target for South Africa almost 350 runs. This target will difficult to chase down for South Africa. Sad for both batsman D.Conway and K.Williamson their performance was commendable and both was too close their century and half century.

Every warm-up match had been interesting to watch due to the high scoring. In today's match Williamson tossed the coin in style and soon after winning the toss he nodded the head and took batting. It means they've already planned whether to go with batting/bowling on winning the toss. Same as what they had planned, things are working in favour of New Zealand team.

Weather conditions disturbed the match, yet everything is on time. Close to 350 runs can b expected as New Zealand have reached 243/3 in 40 overs. New player Chapman on the crease is now waiting for another fresh batsman from the pavilion.

you are right We see high scores in almost every warm-up match. But I doubt we will see such high scores in the World Cup. I am saying this because in every warm-up match the teams are using all the bowlers in their squad. And so the bowlers are giving a lot of runs. The team and bowlers aim to understand pitch conditions. This is why the bowlers are giving away a lot of runs. But if we see such big scores in the World Cup too, the matches will become very exciting.

Most of the warm-up matches were delayed due to rain. This worries me. If we see this in the World Cup matches as well, it will adversely affect the performance of almost every team.

New Zealand is decimating South Africa at the moment while Bangladesh is getting wrecked by England. All South Bowlers except Keshav, Ngidi and Jansen were pretty mediocre while Topley, Wood and Rashid bowled well.

However, it looks like we will see a result only in the NZ match while the Bangladesh match will probably get abandoned.

New Zealand's innings stopped at 321 runs against South Africa. If New Zealand could have continued the way they started in the end, the score would have crossed 350 plus, but they were not very aggressive towards the end against the South African bowlers. I wouldn't say the South African bowlers bowled very well today, they picked up a wicket early in the game but then they didn't pick up wickets for a long time, due to overheating two players got off the field with good runs for the team. 

South Africa took a total of six wickets against New Zealand and managed to pick up five of them in the last over which led to New Zealand's first innings total of 321 otherwise the first innings total could have been bigger.

The complete squad is being used and the other reason for every matches to be high scoring is the pressure free performance. As these are warm-up matches, the win/loss doesn't affect the teams moving to the next levels. This is being used to just understand the pitch conditions as well as have a self analysis of their own teams.

This being the 7^th warm-up match before the start of world cup. Among the seven matches, 3 matches have ended with no result due to rain. One of the match played today between England and Bangladesh have been suspended due to rain. We don't know whether this will continue or not. In such situation the rain is a big problem, than delay matches are getting cancelled. This situation is very bad for World Cup Matches.

Yeh it's true Bangladesh match is almost washed by rain because during first innings of Bangladesh batting rain interrupt and still ongoing, if match doesn't start within few hours then it will be another abondund match right before world cup. I think such rain interruption again and again really damage entire competition.
Anyway let's have a look on score card of NewZeland match against South Africa where NewZeland opener scored a decent runs byself and set a stage from upcoming rest of batters and thus due to some contribution from middle order they able to scored a 300+ target which they can easily defend through thier bowling Lineup, while opponent bowler like M. Jansen and Ngidi show some magic and took decent number of wickets throughout the match

New Zealand's run-scoring after the rain has increased, with South Africa likely to win by 321 runs. South Africa's bowlers were not in good bowling form from the start as they took only one wicket in the moments before the rain, so they could not put New Zealand under pressure. However, after the rains, South Africa's bowlers improved their bowling performance a bit, due to which they were able to take 6 wickets later, but today's match was an aggressive game between the two teams. However, South Africa are batting at the moment, they must score 322 runs to win today's match, which is a very tough task. However, South Africa were in a bit of embarrassment early on losing their wicket in the first over, but if they can hold on to the game at this point, they can reach the target set by New Zealand. South Africa now needs to score 291 runs from 258 balls to reach the target of victory, if no wickets fall then surely South Africa can reach this stage.

New Zealand's batting performance was very good as they scored huge runs in the end. Keeping the wicket under control, the New Zealand team set a target of 321 runs to South Africa. In this case, if the New Zealand team can do a good bowling performance today, then there is definitely a possibility of winning this match. Because I can see here that the New Zealand bowling line is much stronger than the South African team. South African bowlers Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen both took six wickets. Meanwhile, the South African team lost a wicket in the powerplay which is in a moment of great pressure for the South African team. Because to win, you must protect the wicket and survive till the end.

I don't know whether Bangladesh team's luck is good or bad luck because the rain is not stopping from Bangladesh team's luck. In the first innings of Bangladesh, the game was stopped due to rain and in today's match also, the game of Bangladesh team was stopped due to rain while batting. However, if the rain does not stop, the match may be declared abandoned. Meanwhile, the game between New Zealand and South Africa was stopped due to rain, but after some time, the game between New Zealand and South Africa started.  New Zealand finished the game before the rain and collected 321 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs. Meanwhile, South Africa have collected 46 runs with the loss of 1 wicket in 9.4 overs. A target of 322 runs which will not be easy for South Africa. Because right now South Africa need to collect 276 runs to win. But I see more chances of New Zealand to win today.Can you predict whether New Zealand will win or Australia will win?
