England VS Ireland

I am very much disappointed with the result of this match. The match was called off due to rain in the 15th over. If the English side had played the full 20 over match then the result of this match would have been different. This is the problem with DLS method it only takes both run rate into consideration. We have seen in this tournament that most teams start fiering up in the end overs of the match and I assumed the English side was planning the same. Bad luck for England!

Ireland played really well today and those who placed their bets on Ireland would have made good money. This match might be one of the biggest upset in T20WC history. Those matches that are scheduled in Melbourne throughout this week and the next might end up either getting cancelled or ending up using the DLS method so if you're betting on match played in Melbourne consider putting your money on the team batting first.

Ireland won this match because Ireland bowled well early on. But Ireland's bowling bowled very well in this match. I was surprised to see this match. I thought England would win this match very easily but due to rain they didn't have that chance to win.

Josh Little is such an important resource for Ireland. Whenever he picks some crucial wickets earlier on, that automatically puts Ireland towards a path to win. And today also it was no different. England got wrecked earlier on, when Little picked up the wickets of Jos Buttler and Alex Hales. England at one stage was at 14/2, and they never really recovered. To their credit, the other pacers (Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy and Fionn Hand) also gave good support to Little. And the spinner George Dockrell picked up the crucial wicket of Harry Brook as well.

Bangladesh won the last match in the world cup against Netherlands but there is no chance in tomorrow's match. Moreover, the betting odds are very well understood. However, both the teams have not been able to play well in recent times. Both of them are weak but in my prediction South Africa can easily win against Bangladesh.

Of course, England are ahead of Ireland on points. If England could have won this match, they would have gone higher in the points table.

Wrong. Both England and Ireland acquired 2 points each though England is far ahead of Ireland in terms of NRR.

Now there will be endless discussions about the suitability of the DLS method, but IMO Ireland got well deserved points today.

They didn't really deserve 2 points if you ask me. England still had 4 great batsmen and they would have accelerated towards the end which is why I feel that the match should have ended in a draw and the points should have been shared.

Can't agree with this argument. Ireland was the better team yesterday. And you are assuming that lower order English batsmen would have scored at 10 runs per over, when the top order (Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes) failed to score at even 6 runs per over. Anyway, the rules are very clear about it. Ireland was ahead as per the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method at the time of rain interruption, and as a result they ended up with two points. Usually the ICC laws are biased against the associate nations, but in this case it favored Ireland.

The T20 match between Bangladesh and South Africa has already started. Bangladesh picked up wickets early on. Taskin Ahmed's off-stump ball Bhabuma was hit by the edge of the bat and got out just two runs short of the team's run. However, South Africa are trying to turn around and have De Kock and Riley Rosso at the wicket. However, the statistics show that before this Bangladesh met South Africa face to face 7 times out of which Bangladesh got got no win.

Today T20 World Cup match between Bangladesh vs South Africa is taking place. The performance of the Bangladesh team was very good at first, South Africa scored 2 runs for 1 wicket in 1 over. South Africa was under a lot of pressure but now the South African players Quinton de Kock Performed very well. And Bangladesh team's Taskin Ahmed took a wicket in the first over to put them under pressure. Now Taskin Ahmed's ball is not performing very well. Currently South Africa score South Africa for 42 runs in 3 overs and 4 balls. South Africa's batting is playing very well.

South Africa initially felt some pressure but they managed to overcome the situation. Currently they have managed to score 129 runs in 12 overs. Their total score will be huge. Perhaps they can score more than 200 runs as only one wicket has fallen. They will start batting at aggressively after a few more overs. There is no chance of Bangladesh winning today's match.

Next match @ https://sportsbet.io/fr/sports/event/cricket/international/t-20-world-cup/netherlands-vs-india-6356c09204a720968dfc22a3



Netherlands 13.00
India 1.03

[pakhitheboss]

Today, I was expecting a target of 220+ runs from the South African side. 206 is still good and nearly impossible to chase considering the batting lineup of the Bangladesh team. Rilee Rossouw was unstoppable today, he became the 4th  South African batter to score a century in T20I and this was his 2nd century in T20I. This match is entirely in the control of the South African team.

India VS Ireland

Looking at the odds and the outstanding performance of the Indian team against Pakistan I do not have any doubt about which team will win this match.

Netherlands 13.00
India 1.03

If there is no untoward incident in today's match then without doubt I can say that Indian team will win today's match. With the amount of confidence they took away from Pakistan in a fierce competition, there is no question against the Netherlands in today's match.

In the match between South Africa and Bangladesh, South Africa scored 205 runs and gave Bangladesh a target of 206 runs. Meanwhile, Bangladesh lost 7 wickets and scored 84 runs in 13.2 balls. Bangladesh is going to lose by a huge margin to South Africa today. Right now Bangladesh need 122 runs off 40 balls. At the moment Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud Hossain can never be guaranteed to win today's match. Here it is being said that Bangladesh is losing by a huge margin to South Africa.

South Africa's victory is huge! Bangladesh lost their all wickets at 101, so it's 104 runs win for SA. Another embarrassing batting performance by Bangladesh! In major tournaments, they never put on a good show. They simply get smashed and exit. Both Bangladesh's bowling and batting lines are not impactful. It would be nice to see them show some competitiveness.

Including today's game, Bangladesh and South Africa have met a total of 8 times, with Bangladesh losing to South Africa each time.  Especially in today's match, Bangladesh was defeated by a huge margin of 104 runs.  I saw the batting line of South Africa with my own eyes, the way they batted looks like a wicket batting pitch.  But when Bangladesh bowled, it was seen that Bangladesh bowled like helpless.
Again, when Bangladesh batted, it seems that Bangladesh is batting on a complete bowling pitch.  They are unable to stand in front of the South African bowling.  In particular, none other than the one and only Liton Das could collect well.  Shakib Al Hasan could not identify the all-rounder.  No one bowled better except Mustafizur Rahman.  In fact, today's game seems like Bangladesh is learning to bat and bowl on the cricket pitch from another planet.

However, we hope that Bangladesh will come out of this bad situation.  We all hope that Bangladesh will play well, give good gifts to the people, and bring fame to the country.

Bangladesh cricket board is now full of politics. Until this Bangladesh cricket board is not free from politics, Bangladesh cricket team will never be able to do anything good. Bangladesh lost by a huge margin to South Africa in this match today. In all the matches that Bangladesh has played against South Africa, Bangladesh has lost to South Africa. South Africa was absolutely perfect in terms of batting and bowling. Due to which Bangladesh was defeated by South Africa today by 104 runs. Bangladesh's total was 101 runs in 16.3 overs with the loss of all wickets.

RSA 205/5 (20)

BAN 101 (16.3)

South Africa won by 104 runs.

[Sithara007]

South Africa vs Bangladesh all out in this match.  I think it is a matter of shame for Bangladesh. If you perform well in one match, Bangladesh plays such a bad game in another match. Liton Das was dismissed for 34 runs off 31 balls.  Shakib Al Hasan scored 1 run off 4 balls. I didn't expect such a bad performance from a good player like him.

Previously Shakib used to rescue the Bangladesh team from difficult situations. But he is nearing retirement and his form has gone down. Litton Kumer Das has stepped up his game, but he is not Shakib and is incapable of winning matches on his own. A few days back, they struggled to win their match against the Netherlands. I don't have much hope for Bangladesh in the long term. It has been more than two decades and there have been no improvement in their performance. Once Shakib is retired, they will struggle to win against associate sides.

[pakhitheboss]

Netherland's bowling has been spot on and their commitment on the field has been excellent. In my opinion they might have saved a good amount of runs through their fielding. India will try to set a target of 180 runs fir the Dutch to chase. It would not be easy as the pitch is not that fast anymore. At the moment Kohli and Surya Kumar are going good.

[Shaha98]

Bangladesh vs South Africa is the biggest defeat of Bangladesh. I have never seen so many defeats like today. Because the victory for Bangladesh in Australia field near South Africa is very less. Shakib Al Hasan won many matches when he was the captain of Bangladesh but now Shakib Al Hasan is nearing his retirement due to which there are no more players like him. Bangladesh has players who can control the match. And Bangladesh will have to work harder and prepare better if they want to win with a unique team.

South Africa wins @1.20



Next match starts at 7pm Melbourne time (12pm UTC)! Place your bets @ https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/cricket/international/t-20-world-cup/pakistan-vs-zimbabwe-63570188e130d903dff257e1

Pakistan: 1.13
Zimbabwe: 6.00

Amazing day after terrible rain spoilage from yesterday, South Africa took the easiest win so far, Netherlands were the biggest underdogs (I took @13.2) but seriously guys, do not bowl short to Rohit Sharma haha. Netherlands just never had the smallest chance, I know the game is ongoing now but 133 runs in 64 balls now? Never gonna be!

Also, Pakistan should easily follow.
