T-20 CWC Prediction Pool 2022

Once again to the top on the leaderboard with the unexpected match outcome from the match, Ireland vs England. Big performance came from Ireland starting overs, and if England have made similar performance this could've been a win for England. Now they've won by a small margin. Second match have ended without result, and the weather is going to be a big problem eliminating more big teams.

Lol this is kind of a brain fade moment for me.

What happened there? Did rain ruin another match? haha Poor Poms.

SA silently accused Zim of deliberately delaying the match by taking extra time and Zimbabwe openly called out ICC and umpires because according to them playing conditions were not suitable for bowling and fielding due to the wet outfield and there was a chance of serious injuries to the players.

Zimbabwe should be thanking the heavens if you ask me because South Africa would have obliterated them if it weren't for the rain. They basically got a point for free which could prove very costly for South Africa later on.

Boucher mentioned that they respect the final decision, but I don't think that is how they really feel.

well, the way De Kock was batting it was pretty obvious. 1 extra over for South Africa and it was game over for the Zimbawawens.

Zimbabwe are just trying to get some attention LOL

That is true. I read an article about them being unlucky in these major tournaments due to reasons like rain etc. It's not all related to bad luck though. They used to choke on their own towards the end sometimes.

Who can remember, SA needed 22 runs from 1 ball after the rain where they were certainly on the driving seat of a world cup match before the rain :-P

How about this epic ending of course.

England had lost the match in the DLS system for their mistake. The players were aware of the weather condition of Australia. But they hadn't batted as they should have. Only Moeen Ali tried to make runs quickly. BTW, only you had selected narrow win for Ireland in the Superbru pool. Everyone else had chosen England as the winner. You are lucky there! England would have won the match if the rain didn't interrupt in it.

Group 1 of Super 12 turning out to be very challenging for the whole group due to rain Parera.

It would be real shame if Semi finalists get selected with the help of washed out matches, IMO that's not fair.

Having said that if it happens then it should happen to 2nd group too, that would be hilarious overall.

Poor Proteas!

It seems they can't catch a break, the rain still playing with their fortune, and to make the situation worse they have a quota skipper who's a walking wicket in every single match and wasting crucial deliveries in the powerplay.

[AB de Royse777]

Poor Proteas!

It does not surprise me. In fact when Proteas will get any favor then that's surprising LOL

Anyway, I think my picks are to competitive for all teams. I am going to change the margins to easy or trashing when the pen and paper strength of two teams are huge like today's India vs Netherlands match or even SA vs Bangladesh match.

To be fair it went well for them after that rain delay so all well.

I think Group 1 is becoming the death group for all the teams and producing upsets. Group 2 is kinda going at a normal pace with expected results but yeah margins are a bit off for most of us.

These Ind vs Netherlands and SA vs Ban ended up one sided matches tbh. Let's see what happens in Pak vs Zim.

Yeah. I should have picked thrashing win for South Africa since they are playing really well in recent times even though luck isn't exactly on their side all the time. Thrashing victory by India felt great since I expected it.

Expecting Pakistan to thrash Zimbabwe too, but I could be wrong about this one since Zimbabwe are off to a great start at the moment.

The score is very low and Pakistan gonna thrash Zimbabwe. The innings had a good start, but it didn't go well for long. Based on the previous match performance I thought Zimbabwe would make a good performance and went for narrow win. Looking on the scenario Pakistan would win it before 15 overs.

[JSRAW]

WTF just happened!!

Can't believe we have another big upset. This is turning out to be the World Cup of upsets now and again smaller teams are doing the damage and making a case for 18-20 teams WC.

I guess no one in the group saw that coming eh?

3 from 3 with six wickets remaining and they lost by a run? Felt like I was watching an IPL upset for a moment. Nawaz messed up towards the end. 3 runs from 1 ball was always going to be tough.

What the heck happened to Azam these days? It looks like Pakistan are pretty much eliminated from the tournament at this point. Zimbabwe will never forget this well deserved win.

[Little Mouse]

WTF just happened!!

Would you be happy to ruin my 6.60 odd  I was really lucky to be honest. Just have gone with the gut lol. When Pakistan lost 3 wickets, I was expecting a disaster from them but that wasn't happened. Pakistan was on the driving seat until Nawaz messed up.

It was completely unexpected. Ireland had won against England yesterday, and Zimbabwe has beaten Pakistan by 1 run today. It sounds funny though, but Zimbabwe will have a little chance to qualify for the semi finals. Zimbabwe will remain favourite against Bangladesh and Netherlands. They already has an advantage as South Africa had to share points with them for the rain.

~snip~

That's a good win. Do you place your bets against the favourite team always?

Hahaha. Not all the time of course. I have bet for India when they were in need of 60ish from 4 over if I'm correct. Was it a bet against the favorite. In this T20 world cup, so far, I have actually bet for higher odds, but that doesn't mean pre match bet of course. Yesterday, I didn't place any pre match bet for Ireland which was @6.00+ but later, when I saw good chance of winning, I placed two bets. And so does today.

Guess he and Rizwan are both hitting a rough patch at the incredibly wrong time. I feel really bad for Rizwan.

Aha nice one, congrates

In the last week, Pakistan team is becoming a meme team, every one is trolling them hard. Be it the average fan, Google Ceo, or in the latest case President of a country.

Today we've got two matches Afghanistan vs Ireland and Australia vs England.

Maybe something unpredicted could happen today with the matches. The odds on Afghanistan vs Ireland is in favour of Afghanistan, but I was on Ireland to win the match. The previous match winning momentum is expected to continue with Ireland.

In the match Australia vs England, both were equally strong and we can't easily predict the outcome of the match. The previous match loss will keep England look for a win, and the same is my choice. Let's enjoy cricket.

Something unpredictable did happen. Both matches got abandoned thanks to rain playing spoilsport. Pathetic ICC will never learn from these mistakes which is a shame since we miss out on so much entertainment thanks to rain.

Am simply hoping for rain to not play spoilsport in majority of the remaining matches in this competition.

So far rain is doing very well for the T-20 CWC LOL
But I am happy to witness Ind vs Pakistan and yesterday Pakistan vs Zim.

Yesterday's Australia vs England match was supposed to be a knockout clash due to the points system but rain ruined everything.

Although I feel like WC has already peaked during the Indo-Pak match and Zim vs Pak was just icing on the cake. I've to give credit to the Pak team, they are the most entertaining team to follow and they always top the drama chart.
