Next match has just started and is playing now! You can still place bets live here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/cricket/international/t-20-world-cup/netherlands-vs-pakistan-635aae8212519b0205f45a09

Netherlands @12.50
Pakistan @1.03

Personally, I think Netherlands can stand a chance here, as we all remember how Pakistan seemed to understimate their opponents in the last outing. If they lose again it will be the biggest upset of this World Cup so far!

What a finish to the Bangladesh & Zimbabwe! If Zimbabwe had won the match then I am sure Bangladeshi fans would have questioned the decision. Zimbabwe after such a poor performance had all the luck, which unfortunately they were not able to capatalize. Another heart pumping end to Zimbabwe's match.

The funniest thing about today's match is that after both teams left the field, the umpire decided that the last ball was a no. They can hear such a decision after celebrating the victory of Bangladesh. This is the first time I have seen such an incident in my life. However, Zimbabwe still had another chance to win. But Mosaddeq did not give that chance. Zimbabwe turned back from winning again.

I will for sure be supporting South Africa in this one as that's my pick to win, but India has proven itself to be the strongest team of the tournament so far with no slips (yet).

Now there is a chances if India wins against SA - then there are chances that Pakistan can make to Semi final.
Today Pakistan won its first match against Netherlands. Finally!

Hilarious odd, lol 
This was one of the easiest wins for Pakistan ever.
When the Netherlands won the toss and decided to bat first rather than bowl first, they made the wrong decision and did not do anything right at all.

There is no way you can justify winning the toss and batting first and ending up scoring only 91 runs in the whole 20 overs at the loss of 9 wickets. That is just not good and getting the runs did not prove to be any kind of problem for Pakistan. Pakistan did lose four wickets but they got to the target quite easily and quickly which is all that matters at the end of the day, because they will have to keep the net run rate higher.

Yeah, it's pretty unprofessional movement from the Netherlands. Netherlands were restricted to the lowest totals of the tournament by Pakistani bowlers. It was a superb bowling performance by the pacers. By scoring these runs in fewer overs, Pakistan can enhance its net run rate. Pakistan has won a big victory. Team Pakistan bounced back strongly in the T20 World Cup 2022 following two disappointing performances.

The next matches for Pakistan will be a fight to the death as they need big runs wins against Bangladesh and South Africa to reach the semi-finals. Otherwise, you have to win both matches by being much ahead in net run rate.On the other hand, if India loses to South Africa today, Pakistan must win the next two matches.

As expected South African fast bowlers controlled and dominated today's game. The Indian batters except Surya Kumar Yadav struggled. In my opinion KL Rahul should be dropped and Rishab Panth should be given a chance. They did give Deepak Hooda today but unfortunately he was out for a duck as expected. South Africa has an upper edge in this match and I am not expecting the Indian side to win this game.

Edit: Indian bowlers are now dominating the match with their swing bowling. It all depends now how the spinners bowls.

Indian fast bowlers did well at first because they had a good amount of swing. But the problem is Arshdeep was swinging the ball really well but he had around 130kmph pace. And right now the ball has become old. The ball is now not swinging. So, it is going to be a problem with this speed for him.

South Africa needs 32 runs from 24 balls.

Since the three quick wickets India did not filled too much success until recently they got the wicket of Markram.

What a finish to the Bangladesh & Zimbabwe! If Zimbabwe had won the match then I am sure Bangladeshi fans would have questioned the decision. Zimbabwe after such a poor performance had all the luck, which unfortunately they were not able to capatalize. Another heart pumping end to Zimbabwe's match.

Both teams played well. Today The difference is made by fielding performance. Zimbabwe dropped catches, and they miss-fielded some fours. At least three boundaries were scored because of their miss field. At the same time, Sakib Al Hasan did the best-ever fielding today. The direct hit from the tough angle was unreal, and Sean Williams has to go. So, as I said, Both teams did good batting and bowling, but their fielding made the difference.

Pakistan vs Netherlands, 29th Match, Super 12 Group 2 Pakistan team won the game. Pakistan played very well against Netherlands today. Pakistan lost their previous match against Zimbabwe but managed to get a winner against Netherlands today. Although Netherlands did not play very well today they scored only 91 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. But the batsmen of Pakistan team managed to win the match very quickly. Pakistan team won by 13 overs 5 balls Congratulations to Pakistan team they showed a very good match today. But batting and bowling of Netherlands team did not perform very well due to which they failed to win today's match. However, Netherlands lost this match and lost many points.

India kept South Africa under pressure towards the end but David Miller's presence at the wicket meant a serious threat. Indian team lost today's match to David Miller. In this match, many people blame Ravichandran Ashwin for losing the match, but I don't see anything wrong with Ravichandran Ashwin. Any bowler can bowl a bad over or two towards the end.But if the Indian team can score 170 plus runs in this match, maybe the match can go in favor of India.

In order to prevent run-out at the non-striker's end Glenn Phillips offers a solution. 👏🏻😅
I am sure many teams will now adopt this solution.

Quite a few times now, I have noticed this photo lurking around social media platforms quite a lot. Furthermore, I do not claim to be an expert on running or on the physics of the human body.

It seems to me that this is how professional runners and sprinters begin to sprint in the first place. In addition, I do not think this absolutely takes the fact that the bowler is still able to run the non-striker out if he chooses to do so. But this drastically reduces the chance. If done correctly I don't think anyone will get out doing this. A lot of people will say that you can just put your bat behind the line and still be ahead. But there is a problem with that, which is that it takes away the momentum.

South Africa won @2.24

So proud of my pick 104m 6 is tournament record!

Next match is at tomorrow 6pm Melbourne time (8am UTC). Markets are open here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/cricket/international/t-20-world-cup/australia-vs-ireland-635bf54b2cd5b838c7b91a4d

Australia @1.07
Ireland @8.80

Can Australia meet expectations or are the Irish team going to keep their reputation as giant killers in T20? This should be an exciting match for those lucky enough not to work on Monday

India kept South Africa under pressure towards the end but David Miller's presence at the wicket meant a serious threat. Indian team lost today's match to David Miller. In this match, many people blame Ravichandran Ashwin for losing the match, but I don't see anything wrong with Ravichandran Ashwin. Any bowler can bowl a bad over or two towards the end.But if the Indian team can score 170 plus runs in this match, maybe the match can go in favor of India.

The match is basically low scoring. It is very difficult to win in that match if you do not have  average 160 runs in the T20 game. However, it is also true that when there is a low scoring match, then there is a complete fight. The only Suryakumar Yadav on behalf of India team could do well but most of the batsman failed to collect good score. As a result, India has to lose. I would say India lost the match because of the batting disaster.

[jostorres]

It is true that Sri Lanka lost yesterday's match to Glenn Phillips by 104 runs.Glenn Phillips scored 104 off 64 balls to turn tomorrow's match completely different.I don't think Sri Lanka is playing the way the Asia Cup final winning cricket team looked in yesterday's game.Sri Lanka looked like a completely helpless team.The example set by eight players with a total of 19 runs, Sri Lanka can never compare with previous Sri Lanka.

There is no doubt Glenn Phillips inning change the momentum of this match, and he has done amazing job specially against bowlers like Hasaranga which is premier bowler for them in this format but here most of the members are missing few things that Sri Lanka won Asia Cup in the UAE which is completely batting tracks and conditions are also favorable to Asian teams.

That is the reason, here in Australia things are completely different with most of the Asian teams struggle like today we have Indian batting struggling against quality fast bowling of South Africa at Perth, so this is never been easy for them to compete in these conditions even I agreed about this now they will never been as they were few years back with Sanga, Murli and Jayawardne all were legendary players.

Looks like Pakistan is out as expected. Was surprised to see some people actually thinking that they still had a chance despite losing their first two matches narrowly.

David Miller totally figured out Indian bowlers and has become their kryptonite these days. He used to bat like crap in the IPL sometime back and regained his form through GT during the recently concluded IPL season.

Pakistan was out the day they lost to Zimbabwe. Also, a loss is a loss, no matter if you lose a match with a close margin or big margin, only the winning teams get two points.

Surprising people are still expecting miracles, like if another upset happens and India could lose to Netherlands or Zimbabwe 
This is not how to reach a World Cup final, depending on others. Don't know why everyone starts calculating that if this happens and that happens, then they can qualify.

Today's game will confirm whether Bangladesh can play the semi-final match. If Bangladesh can win today's match, then there will be a chance to play the semi-final.  But looking at today's game, it seems that the Bangladesh team can win for sure. Zimbabwe have lost their core strength at the moment. Sikandar Raja's strength in the Zimbabwean team dismissed him for 3 balls. Zimbabwe scored 45 for 4 in 7.4 overs. Right now Zimbabwe need 106 runs off 74 balls to win. 106 runs off 74 balls would have been possible if their main strength Sikander Raja was on the field.

I think nothing will confirm or having any chance for Bangladesh to be in semifinal because they are going down badly, and they need big changes in their system for having positive results which are not possible just after winning two matches against teams like Zimbabwe and Netherlands now they are going to face India and Pakistan and most chances both are going to ruin them in their respective matches specially now from India as they are looking for quick recovery after today lost against South Africa and their record against Pakistan is also never been ideal even Pakistan after losing their first two matches are not good but still they can manage them and having good result against them.

Pakistan is out! There is no doubt about it. After India lost the match yesterday the chance of them playing against Newzealand in the semifinals is preety high now. Looking at the current form of the Newzealand side it will not be easy for India. I have also serious doubt about Indian opening pair. Third time in this tournament KL Rahul has got out within the first five overs. I think it will be great if the Indian team management drops him and give Rishab Panth a chance in the next match which is against Bangladesh.

They tried Hooda yesterday because he is an all rounder but never gave him a chance to bowl then why select him. Another player that needs to be dropped is Ashwin, he took only one wicket in three matches and has not been contributing through his bat.
