ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[coinerer]

In the Pakistan vs India team match, India team came to bat. Scored 147 runs in 24.1 overs. India has lost 2 wickets so far. But the match is off due to rain. Once the rain ends, the match between these two teams is expected to start very soon. But  Had it not rained, a very beautiful match could have been enjoyed between the players of the two teams. India team batsman Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 56 runs off 49 balls. Shubman Gill was dismissed for 58 runs off 52 balls. These two batsmen of the Indian team batted very well. Now  It remains to be seen how well Virat Kohli can bat. Looks like Virat Kohli can bat well in today's match.

India are playing brilliantly for 147 runs in 24 overs and have lost only 2 wickets. If they play like this, they will give Pakistan a target of 300+ runs today. Pakistan was very good against Bangladesh and beat Bangladesh but coming up against India it looks like they will lose badly. Because their bowling performance is very poor and they are going to get a big run target. And after getting a target of big runs, the chances of the opposing teams losing the match always increases. So I don't see much chance of Pakistan winning the match. India are very likely to win the match

The game did not finish in the first day. so India will play their rest tomorrow and Pakistan will also play. But yes, from the way the game has been played so far, it can be assumed that India can give Pakistan a big run target. India also hates Pakistan as a country and when they have cricket matches against each other, India plays with more focus. So generally it can be assumed that India is more likely to win the match. A target of more than 300 runs is possible for India.

The way Bangladesh held the Lankans in the match of Bachamara in the fight to reach the final of the Asia Cup. It seemed that Bangladesh's dream of fighting for the superiority of Asia would live on in this journey. But in the end it didn't happen anymore. The Asian World Cup mission of the red-green representatives has been destroyed by losing by 21 runs with the host Sri Lanka. Saturday (September 9) R. of Colombo. After losing the toss and batting first at the Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka scored 257 runs losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs. In response, the Tigers were bundled out for 236 runs in 48.1 overs chasing the target.  As a result, Shakib Bhani's dream of winning the Asia Cup ended in a 21-run defeat.

Now it's never been easy for the Bangladesh tigers to have good results in this Asia Cup and World Cup because they are facing problems in batting which is important to settle, but it's not a short way it's need good and long term strategy which help them for increasing quality and performance as well.

Indeed, Bangladesh already eliminated from the Asia Cup-2023 after the losing last match against Srilanka, now they have only one match against India, now it’s just a formality maintaining match. Though i think BD will not be win this match.

In last game, against Sri Lanka their bowlers done good job but sadly batting lineup completely fail to give his best and at the end they lost this match by 21 runs and now almost out of this event with short time for preparing for the World cup which is also going to start after 25 days.

It was very exciting match and Bangladesh had a very good chance to win this match, they need to 21 runs in 11 balls, but BD all out and Srilanka win in 21 runs.

Today game was well starting from the Rohit Sharma and Gill.At first Gill played his aggressive game and scored the fifty runs,after the spin bowlers was get into attack.Rohit Sharma start his unique aggressive and made two six and one four in a short way.So the Rohit also matched his run and the ball.The first wicket was the Rohit sharma the unexpected short and a good catch by the bowler.So the big partnership was came to an end With the Rohit Sharma wicket.Gill followed by the Rohit played an random short and back to the pavilion.So the Kohli followed by Rahul back to back come to attack for the next partnership.The rain keep affecting game and the game was forward tomorrow.The reason is this game was deciding of the cup.

I have a question (please forgive me for my ignorance) that tomorrow game will be resumed from where it was stopped today or we have a new game tomorrow.
If game is resumed from where its stopped today then India clearly are now in a good position. Pakistan need few quick wickets to stop India from giving a huge target which at the moment looks very difficult.

Tomorrow the match will be played after 24.1 overs. As the India Pakistan match tomorrow is stopped due to rain, the game will resume on the day after Reserve Day but the game will not be restarted but will be played from the scoreboard where the game ended. India have lost two wickets for 147 runs in tomorrow's match and India are very much ahead here. If India can start aggressively in tomorrow's match then India will have a high chance of winning. One thing I clearly understand is that if India's opening pair performs well then India's collection is high which makes it difficult for the opposition to target.

If any team can do good opening batting, then it becomes easy for that team to score good runs. India's opening batting yesterday was superb, both batting half centuries. If KL Rahul and Virat Kohli both perform well, India will score well and have high chances of winning. Pakistan's bowling line is strong but yesterday they could not make India's wicket fall. Pakistan have to bowl well today otherwise Pakistan's chances of winning will decrease. If there is a match between India and Pakistan, we can't enjoy the game because of the rain, so that today's match does not rain, so that we can enjoy today's match beautifully.

[Out of mind]

If game is resumed from where its stopped today then India clearly are now in a good position. Pakistan need few quick wickets to stop India from giving a huge target which at the moment looks very difficult. 

Yesterday's match between India and Pakistan, in which India scored 147 runs, had to be abandoned due to rain. India are well ahead of the match in terms of runs as the postponed match starts today. And this match will start from where it ended, in the match India is leading in terms of runs which will make it difficult for the opponent team Pakistan to win the match. If India's batsmen perform well in today's match, it will definitely be possible to score bigger scores which can disrupt Pakistan's performance. India's current opening batting duo, if they survive, will surely score enough runs to win. That is why this match is probably the most likely for India to win against Pakistan, the match was declared abandoned after 24.1 overs, and play will resume today.

If there is no rain ,the match will be started from here.In the previous match between Pakistan and India,it started raining,due to which the match was stopped and Pakistan could not paly. Everyone is hoping that the match will start up from where it was stopped.Indian started off very well but Pakistan gave India a big shock by taking the wickets of both their opponents.In which one captain was Rohit Sharma and the other was S. Gill.

[pakhitheboss]

Before the match was stopped due to the rain, the game was equally placed between both teams. India started well but lost it when Pakistan got hold of Rohit and then Gill. The new batters Kohli and Rahul were just trying to settle in when the rain interruption happened. I am also confused with Colombo's weather, it was sunny while the Indian openers were playing and as soon as they were out it started raining.

25 more overs need to be bowled in order to end India's innings. Looking at Colombo's weather forecast for today, I am concerned whether this match will be completed today. Imagine before Pakistan goes to bat if it again starts drizzling like yesterday, What will the ACC do? I believe choosing Sri Lanka as a venue for the Asia Cup was a bad decision. UAE would have been the right decision for this year's Asia Cup.

Its because of Indian openers that they are in such a good position. With 147 on the board and kohli along with KL on crease, Pakistan crealy have a big job to do. Good thing from India perspective is that they have kept shaheen under control so far. Shaheen so far is expensive and has picked just one wicket.
Between what are possibilities of rain today?

[Bureau]

Reserved day match starts in just few hours. Both Virat & Rahul will need to firm a partnership if India want to set a target of 280+. Yesterday at one point they were looking for a target of 300+ run. Virat takes time to settle but once he get settled then it is not easy for the bowlers to get him out. Rahul was playing better than what he has doing before his injury.

Pakistan bowlers would be looking for early wickets. Shadab was bowling good after he got Rohit out. I guess that wicket gave him a morale booster. The weather is looking bad again in Colombo, it is a big concern. I hope it doesn't rain like it rained yesterday.

snip~~

I too have serious doubts whether this match will end properly. The covers are still on the field and the game has not started yet. Half of India's innings has to be played first and looking at the present situation we might see the match getting abandoned. The second possibility would be that we DLS might happen when Pakistan comes to bat.

[hafiztalha]

India VS Pakistan

This would be the second time that these two teams will be facing each other this year and in this tournament. Pakistan is a far better team than the Indian team. They have been excellent in both batting and bowling, although the fielding is not up to the mark. India has been struggling both in bowling and batting. In the last match against Nepal, they were bowling like a bunch of amateurs who were trying to play in gully crickets. They batted really well against a weak bowling side but were struggling when they played against Pakistan. I think Pakistan has a better chance of winning today's match still the level of uncertainty is always a factor that plays an important role against these two teams.

Agreed, the uncertainty always continues with these two teams. Based on the way India played in the previous match against Pakistan, it looks like Pakistan have got higher chance of winning. Most of the experts had mentioned, India somehow escaped and now it have got an opportunity. This time there can be small changes in the squad. In the previous match against Nepal Rohit Sharma played well whereas he struggled against the Pakistan left hand bowlers. Within few hours the match will start and today the weather condition is perfect in Colombo. We can't be sure of the nature, it can change anytime.

I will keep the Pakistan team ahead in this match. Because we are seeing very good performance from Pakistan recently . Because this team is in very good form. I don't see any weakness in batting and bowling.  Almost every batsman in the team is doing well. A few days back, the team was completely dependent on the performances of babar azam and Mohammad rizwan. But now this problem is solved . The performance of Pakistan's other batsmen is also quite good now. On the other hand  the performance of India's batsmen is erratic. Their bowlers are also not able to play consistently well. For these reasons, I will favor the Pakistan team in the match between India and Pakistan. I guess Pakistan will win.

Yes, but yesterday match and previous match between Pakistan and India on September 2nd were quite interesting. In the previous match india batting performance was not quite good and they could only scored 266 runs in 48 over. If the match had completed India would set a target between 280 and 290 runs and Pakistan had a good chance of winning this match. Pakistan bowling performance was quite strong. In yesterday match it was a different story as India's batting performance was improving from previous one. They had scored 147 runs in 24.1 overs and by losing 2 wickets this match also delay due to rain. When match continue and the result becomes clear it will be quite intense and interesting.

The Super Four match between India and Pakistan was postponed due to rain yesterday, a reserve day was kept for the match between India and Pakistan in view of the rain. When the rest of the match could not be officiated yesterday due to rain, the match referee decided to officiate the remainder of the match between India and Pakistan today but the match between India and Pakistan is still uncertain due to rain. Due to rain the whole ground is still covered with covers, if the rain continues like this it will not be possible to conduct the India vs Pakistan match today. The first match was abandoned due to rain and the second match between India and Pakistan is likely to be abandoned. Hopefully the rain will stop soon and the outfield will be ready for play and the players will be invited to the field soon.

[Bureau]

Match has started and full 50 over match will happen today, unless rain interrupts again. Bad news for Pakistan on reserved day as Haris Rauf is not playing due to an injury. The current run rate is below 6 but I believe that it will go beyond 6.5 as both Kohli and Rahul have started to open up their bat. Pakistan in a defensive mode today they were looking far better yesterday. During the bowling of Naseem Shah, Babar Azam should have placed a slip fielder, if they had then they could have a got the wicket of Kohli.

At the end of 33 overs, India's collection of 200/2 on the scoreboard comes with comments that India will score over 300 runs in today's match, which will be a tough task for Pakistan. However, Shahenshah Afridi and Naseem Shah are not able to benefit much in today's match, instead Indian batters are performing brilliantly. Virat Kohli is going to play a great innings after a long time. KL Rahul scored a half century if this pair can play till forty in today's match then the team score will definitely be 300 plus.

[GigaBit]

Tomorrow the match will be played after 24.1 overs. As the India Pakistan match tomorrow is stopped due to rain, the game will resume on the day after Reserve Day but the game will not be restarted but will be played from the scoreboard where the game ended. India have lost two wickets for 147 runs in tomorrow's match and India are very much ahead here. If India can start aggressively in tomorrow's match then India will have a high chance of winning. One thing I clearly understand is that if India's opening pair performs well then India's collection is high which makes it difficult for the opposition to target.

Good thing from India perspective is that they have kept shaheen under control so far. Shaheen so far is expensive and has picked just one wicket.
Between what are possibilities of rain today?

A good partnership by the openers and smart batting of third and fourth wicket changed the picture of the entire match. Currently India have managed to score 211 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. Since they have almost all the wickets in hand, it will be very difficult for Pakistan to win this match. Pakistan have used 6 bowlers none of them can be called successful in today's match. Pakistan expected a bit too much from Shaheen Afridi, he couldn't do much from his position. Till now has taken only 1 wicket. None of the other bowlers did well. As a result this match is likely to be in favor of India.

[elevates]

What a comeback by KL Rahul! After being out of the team for six months, he got this opportunity to play in place of Iyer. Cashing this opportunity at its best Rahul, if he continues in this manner a comeback century can be expected from him. Only 2 wickets are gone and India has already scored more than 220 runs. I am expecting India to go for a target which will be more than 300 runs. India wants that extra cushion in case DLS comes into play. As of now, the clouds have not cleared the sky fully they are still hovering around. Good strategy by the Indian batter one of them going after bowlers aggressively and the other is rotating the strike.

Rauf not being able to play today is a piece of bad news for Pakistan. They are struggling to find a bowler to replace him. At the moment Pakistan is on the back foot. Bowlers are struggling against the two-set Indian batters. Pakistan needs to break this partnership which is more than 100 runs now.  At the moment India is dominating the match.

Good partnership have come for India. After 40 overs the score is 251-2 with Rahul at 72* and Kohli at 57* and in the next 10 overs atleast 100 runs expected as the team have got more 8 wickets left. It is the fourth time all the top four players scoring half century.

Rauf unable to play today's match is really a bad news for Pakistan team. India is dominating the match, if Pakistan openers were able to make good partnership the match could turn anyway.

Powerplay 3 have come into effect and the same restrict with maximum five fielders outside the inner ring. Expecting the century from Rahul as he's nearing 75 runs.

India's batting performed well. The two opening batsmen put on a partnership of 121 runs. Number three and four batting partnership of 157 runs. At the moment, India's collection is 281 runs in 43 overs. Looking at India's performance today, it looks like they can easily score 350+ runs. The Pakistani bowling line failed, unable to show their comparable performance. A score of 350+ will give India a high chance of victory. Pakistan's batting line is strong so it is not possible to say which team can win.

They are already close to a century now with Virat Kohli unbeaten on 83 runs and Lokesh Rahul on 88 runs.
But one interesting thing to note about this tournament is that reserve days were kept for India and Pakistan.I don't even know if it happened before The Asian Cricket Council may have arranged this for more revenue in the matches between India and Pakistan.In this match, two arch rival teams are facing each other.I want both teams to play their best and win the match.
India has already scored 300 runs in 45 overs.They might be able to score 350 plus runs or more as they have lost only two wickets.
