ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Compromise me]

Pakistan is in difficult situations and Sri Lanka stand a good total of 344 runs against Pakistan with fall of 9 wickets. Kusal Mendis  performed excellent inning and scored  122 runs with just 77 runs. Sadeera made  108 runs  with 89 balls and he contributed good for his country, Pat hum  Nissanka  made 51 runs with  61 runs . Sri Lanka set  an excellent score on board and Sri Lankan batsman seemed in good form . Pakistani batting cannot chase this big score, Pakistan lose 2 wickets in first 9 overs. It is very hard for Pakistan to chase this score because Pakistan middle order is very weak and no batsman  is performing excellent. Now, score of Pakistan is  40 in just 9 overs. Pakistan need 305 runs in  41 overs.

I was expecting Babar to be a pillar like Kohli did against Australia. I never expected him to get out so easily. Rizwan is the key for Pakistan and if he bats well then it would help Pakistan. Another example of Babar getting succumbed to pressure. I still believe that he should only concentrate in his batting and not mixup his skill with captaincy. Rizwan would fail if not the whole Pakistani batting line-up will be unsuccessful knowing their inconsistency. This is not Lahore, where Pakistan was able to chase a target of 300+. This is Hyderabad wherein after playing so many games, Pakistan is stil confused.

What did you guys expect from Bangladesh today? I did not expect better than this. They could have played better. They could have used their spinners from the beginning and restricted England from 320 to 330. That could have been a good total. If we talk about batting, their first four batters except for Liton Das did a terrible job. They could have been more responsible. The top performers failed and they collapsed with a very low total. The match wasn't competitive at all.

If we talk about the Sri Lanka VS Pakistan match, Sri Lanka posted a very good total on the board. Now it's their bowler's job to restrict Pakistan. But it seems Pakistan is on its way to winning the match. Abdullah and Rizwan are both batters playing very well.

Now this match is going to be very interesting and intense between both teams Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pakistan team lost their openers players A.Shafique and Imam ul haq and one more Captain of their team B.Azam also catch up by Sri Lanka bowlers. In previous match, Sri Lanka played very good in batting inning but not in bowling innings. Same situation in this match, their batting inning was brilliant and did not in bowling inning. Pakistan scored 232 runs in 35.3 overs and loss e wickets. In current time, M.Rizwan and S.Shakeel players were showing their talent in the crease. M.Rizwan scored 83 runs in 79 balls with not out. Pakistan need 107 runs in 85 balls for won this match.

All the things went right then Abdullah Shafique lost their wicket. This is a sad thing for Pakistan. Abdullah Shafique plays as well, but don’t worry because Saud Shakeel is also a very amazing player. Abdullah Shafique did a 100+ score. He made a century. I hope that Muhammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel play very well.

If the Pakistan team wins this match so Pakistan team becomes confident against India, the next match of Pakistan is India vs Pakistan in Ahmedabad. I know that most of the people are Indian in the crowd. Rizwan is nearly to century. I want to see the Rizwan century in this match.

[rohang]

wow! pakistan were huge odds  to win after srilanka posted 344 total

Amazing innings  from shafique and rizwan (not out) 

Now pakistan only need 82 runs  from  69  balls  with 7 wickets in hand

Also a pretty big opportunity lost by sri lanka bowlers ,they  got 2 early wickets but nothing since then

Pakistan is talking this match slowly in their hand and it seems that they will win this match from here on in. They have less than 50 runs to win and with 7 wickets in hand, they should win from here.

Remember Pakistan have never lost against Srilanka in the ICC World Cup and look like this record will remain.

Chasing 344 runs is not a small thing and if Pakistan wins this match, it will be an eye opener for the other big teams in the tournaments. It's been a long time since i saw such a good batting performance by the Pakistan team.

[Out of mind]

Sri Lanka managed to score good runs today while giving Pakistan a big target of 345 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen were in great form against Pakistan today, and put up a huge score. But when Pakistan bats, Pakistan batsmen fight brilliantly against Sri Lanka and Pakistan team is in a good position at the moment. I predict Pakistan to win today without pressure, as they only need a few more runs to win. As Mohammad Rizwan is still alive and batting brilliantly, if he can play in the end then victory is assured. Mohammad Rizwan scored 121 runs off 113 balls. This match is really interesting. Currently, Pakistan team is fighting well against Sri Lanka. Right now Pakistan need 26 runs from 24 balls to win, I think they will collect one soon and meet the target given by Sri Lanka. And we can definitely predict that Pakistan will win today's match by defeating Sri Lanka.

Did you get the odds? I was able to place bets when the odd was 2.14 for Pakistan. It was a nice one although I have already lost a few mBTC in this world cup. I have been doing shits in cricket prediction lately.

[elevates]

What a commited perfot by Rizwan, this guy should be above Babar Azam. He single handedly took the ownership of chasing the target. He was injured, cramped but was not letting it go. An example he has set in to the mind's of upcoming newbies. I was thinking about Babar when Pakistan came to bat. I never expected his performance to be so bad in this important game. The bowling attack of Pakistan was good as they did what they felt good for themselves. Undoubtedly they knew that the batters would support them. A good comeback and a good finishing by Pakistan

Actually, I stopped watching the game when Babar Azam got out because I thought from that place chasing 344 looks impossible to chase it down but when I looked at the results I was shocked and even more to add they won by 6 wickets which is incredible also will up the morale of Pakistan after disappointing bowling performance.

Tomorrow we have India vs Afghanistan match and I expect it is going to be an easy win for India but what I want them to do is try to post better performance if possible, so they can increase the net run rate so that they should not take this match lightly, and also they should go with the same playing XI in my opinion.

This match became exciting in the end. The player of the match is Muhammad Rizwan. When Muhammad Rizwan scored 80 runs or so, he was injured, not too much, it’s a normal injury, but he didn’t leave the ground and just played for the team and he scored 131. This is the first century of Muhammad Rizwan in the ODI in 2023.
I hope that Muhammad Rizwan recovers from their injury and is back to play. He took 3 catches as wicketkeeper. The other players are also playing very well. Abdullah Shafique scored a century. Iftikhar Ahmed and Saud Shakeel are also doing very good scores. Iftikhar Ahmed is a good finisher. Overall it looks like Pakistan got the batting momentum at the right moment.

Some matches create a lot of excitement among everyone. Many will remember todays' match for a long time. Looking at Sri Lanka's score today, I thought 90 percent Sri Lanka will win this match. When Pakistan lost two wickets against Sri Lanka's target of 344 runs, i see that 14 percent chance of winning in the TV screen as prediction. However, the regret of the Sri Lankan team was that they could not beat the Pakistan team in the World Cup. Had great chances today but they failed too. I saw several negative sites of the Sri Lankan team which I did not come across in this type of tournament. Sri Lanka conceded an extra 26 runs in this match which could be a great reason for the team's loss. The team was also behind due to some miss fielding. On the other hand, Pakistan proved to be an unpredictable team.

In Indian pitches, even a total of 350 is not enough to guarantee a win. And Sri Lanka is without Hasaranga, and they are considerably weakened without him. Pathirana and Theekshana seems to be out of form. Still, this was a match that should have been won by Sri Lanka. They had made such a decent total (344/9). And in return, they had Pakistan down at 37/2. But no one really expected Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan to come up with such a solid 3rd wicket partnership. And in the end, Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed finished the game.

Whether you are a Pakistani supporter or you are a Pakistan hater, one thing that will surely win your heart tomorrow is Mohammad Rizwan's fight like a warrior to lead the team to victory. On the TV screen we saw him strain his muscles several times and he fell to the ground several times, the team physio came and gave him treatment, he made a military recovery, stood up again, played again, fell to the ground again with a muscle strain. The umpire may have been telling him to go off the field but he was not willing to go off the field without the team winning at all and finally with severe pain he confirmed Pakistan's win and then left the field. He was chosen Man of the Match for his most important contribution to the team's victory. Hopefully he will recover and return to the field before the next match.

@Patrol69 I sincerely believe that most here are cricket lover’s and thus all would appreciate his performances yesterday which were really good but now if he gets injured then that’ll be a big cause for concern for the Pakistan’s team management. Furthermore I also feel bad for Srilanka because they scored a massive total and yet they could not secure a victory for themselves.

Pakistan started the ongoing ODI World Cup on Indian soil with a win against relatively weak Netherlands. This time, Babar Azam's team won by 6 wickets with 10 balls in hand. The men in green came to the second place in the points table with two consecutive wins. On Tuesday (October 10) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Sri Lanka won the toss and went to bat first. Kushal Mendis and Sadera Samaravikrama scored a pair of centuries and lost 9 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs.  In response, Pakistan lost a pair of wickets to chase the target but scored a thrilling victory thanks to centuries from Abdullah Shafiq and Mohammad Rizwan. In this victory, Pakistan has created a unique world record in the history of ODI World Cup.

It's the highest successful run-chase 345/4 ever in the World Cup and Historical hundred from Rizwan and Shafique. Mohammad Rizwan emerges as a hero when the team needs him the most, scores an unbeaten 134. Hasan Ali took four wickets and Abdullah brilliant 113 but Rizwan is the winner with his unbeaten 131 Brilliant batting display by Abdullah and Rizwan. Pak need to look on bowling especially spinners. And i am glad to see people in crowd cheering for milestones of Abdullah and Rizwan. Hopefully Sirlanka win thier next match against Australia.

[elevates]

The ninth match of the World Cup will be played today at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The Indian team will be playing without Shubhman Gill as he has been hospitalized. He as well might miss the match against Pakistan on 14th. India are the favourite to win today.

Betting Odds

India - 1.13
Afghanistan - 6.40

India should win today comfortably!

Sri Lanka team gave such a big target of runs I thought Sri Lanka team will win the match but Pakistan team changed the style of the game. Sri Lanka team came out to bat first which was the right run for them to win but poor performance in the bowling line.  For Sri Lanka team could not win the match. Pakistan team won the match by 5 wickets.
