ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Fuso.hp]

ODI World cups matches
Total matches 4
India won 3
Bangladesh won 1

Bangladesh might have won just one match against India in the ODI World Cup. But that sole win is very famous and came during the 2007 ODI World Cup. And as a result of that win, India got kicked out of the world cup and the TV broadcasters ended up in massive loss. All I am saying is that India should not take Bangladesh lightly. At least while playing in sub-continent, their spinners have the capability to trouble top batsmen. And also, Litton Kumer Das and Shakib Al Hasan are in good touch with the bat recently.

Everyone knows that India Pakistan match is the most competitive match but India Bangladesh match on the field is currently the most competitive match. Bangladesh defeated India in the 2007 World Cup and in 2011 too Bangladesh had a great chance to defeat India but Bangladesh missed that opportunity against India due to a controversial decision by the umpire. In the 2019 World Cup Bangladesh came very close to victory against India and were defeated in the end so there is nothing to take Bangladesh lightly in this World Cup. In the last match of Asia Cup we saw that India won against all the teams but they lost against Bangladesh. The batsmen that India have are very experienced but their performance against the Bangladeshi bowlers is not very good. 

Afghanistan beat England Netherlands beat South Africa so it is not impossible for Bangladesh to beat India.

^^ You can't expect to win match when you are dropping easy catches. it was so frustrating to watch them field and throwing was embarrassing, if they were quick on the field then they had at least 2 runout chances as well so they deserve to lose this match.

They dropped Young when he was on single digit and he stitched a crucial partnership with the Rachin (he was dropped too). Then Afghan went to drop 2 more simple catches. Latham and Glenn Phillips punished them for that.

I think they went a bit complacent after the unexpected win against England. Hopefully the shock that they got from the Kiwis should put them back on track. This is a very long tournament and it is going to be difficult to stay focused. But for Afghanistan, it is necessary to perform well this time. A lot of questions are being asked regarding the funding from ICC (especially after the Taliban takeover) and regarding how their test status can be justified in the absence of a national women's team. A poor performance in this tournament will only make things difficult for them.

They are not a high ranking team for a reason and to get accused of being complacent they have to develop the habit of winning first. They hardly win any matches so there is virtually no chance of complacency.

They were just too casual on the field and looked beat up under the sun. You don't expect such an attitude from the international team. Aha, that's a complicated debate but i doubt if ICC is going to take any action on it, virtue signaling will happen for sure.

[pakhitheboss]

Already we have seen two upsets in the World Cup 2023, what if today we witness a third one. Netherland beating South Africa came out from nowhere. The same can happen with the Indian team today.

Naah! That is not possible with current form of Indian tream. They are excelling in both bowling and batting. The match will be played in Pune which is supposed to be good for batting. The team that wins the toss might bat first. A target of 300 or more would be okay to defend on it.

[roksana.hee]

The big match will be held local time at 2.30 PM within Bangladesh Vs India. It will be a great chance to beat India if the bating line or balling line performs better. Go ahead Bangladesh.



Also, Sakibul Hasan will gain the top score to beat Virat the give his best performance.

My guess is that there is no expectation from the Afghan team back home. Their performance has actually declined ever since they received the test status in 2019. The win against England was the big surprise. So even if they lose all of their remaining matches, they are not going to care. Now coming to the ICC funding, I guess they are safe as long as the BCCI is on their side. Afghanistan's vote is crucial for BCCI, to get the representative elected in different ICC elections. So at this point, it is just the CA, CNZ and ECB rooting for Afghanistan's suspension from international cricket.

Win predictors are not always useful. It is a World Cup match and no team is small in a World Cup match. By performing well in the Super League, these teams have made it to the main stage of the World Cup, everyone's dream is to do well in the World Cup. As wickets are drawn by the ICC, no team enjoys home advantage or any other advantage in tournaments within the World Cup. Netherlands and Afghanistan are predicted to win but Google didn't show but they performed well on the field and won. Bangladesh's match against India is tough but not impossible. If Bangladesh can do well in this match then surely they can win against India.

Rohit Sharma scored centuries in the last two World Cup matches between Bangladesh and India. Besides, Shakib Al Hasan has performed well in batting and bowling for Bangladesh and Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal are among the highest run scorers along with Virat Kohli. All the names mentioned in this list except Tamim Iqbal are participating in this World Cup. Tamim Iqbal is not in this World Cup but hopefully Bangladesh will do much better against India without him.

Tough situation in Afghanistan so one could hardly blame them for not having any expectations from their team. It does give some sort of distraction tho, for the right reasons.

Yeah, they should be safe due to BCCI backing but you never know. Maybe some sort of pressure so that they can establish their Women's team base in India or someplace else. The Men's team did the same for some time so why not the Women's team?

If compared with this year's Indian squad, India has to be ahead in the chances of winning. India's top order batsmen are playing cricket in such an aggressive manner that it is not possible to get them all out. Especially with this squad of Bangladesh, it is not at all possible to defeat India on Indian soil. Therefore, even as a supporter of Bangladesh in today's match, I see the possibility of India winning.

The seventeenth match of the World Cup will be played today at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. India has been undefeated till now in the world cup. They are positioned  second on the point table after New Zealand. Bangladesh is positioned  6th on the point table. India are the favourite  to win today.

Betting Odds

India - 1.23
Bangladesh - 6.6

Can Bangladesh defeat India today?

India is a very strong and reliable team in this World Cup. So far India have played three matches and won three matches. On the other hand Bangladesh played three matches in this World Cup and won only one match. In today's match India is very strong and has a chance to win against Bangladesh but Bangladesh should not be underestimated as we have seen few days back in Asia World Cup Bangladesh beat India by a big margin. So today I will not neglect Bangladesh at all because the playing situation on the field can change anytime.

India is good at chasing and they would be happy to see Bangladesh winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Rohit Sharma will be relying on the Indian bowlers to restrict Bangladesh batters from getting a good target. Although the team that bats first in the Pune ground tends to score 300 plus runs. Indian bowlers so far have been effective on batter-friendly track it would be good to see them again performing in the same manner. Bangladesh's batting has been that good in the tournament, I am not expecting anything better from them against India.

But you know cricket is a game where anytime can be anything. Bangladesh is not a small team. I hope every member of the Bangladesh team give their best in this match. Bangladesh Cricket Team is like a hopeful Tiger.

Afghanistan team won against England. A weak team like Netherlands beat South Africa team. So it is not surprising if Bangladesh is able to win against India today.
Bangladesh have won three of the last four matches against India. Bangladeshi players will be confident. It was correct to decide to bat to win the toss. Because Bangladeshi batsmen cannot play well under extra pressure. Batting first and delivering a 300+ target will be enough to fight against India.
Bangladesh's squad today does not have their best all-rounder Shakib. The team will definitely miss Shakib. If he had, Bangladesh's middle order would have been a bit stronger.
Bangladesh did not lose any wicket in 13 overs. And their collection is 82 runs. Bangladesh scored an average of 6.3 runs per over. Both openers are batting well.

op you are right our Bangladesh is not a small team they have the ability to beat every country in the world in the game of cricket. Undoubtedly our Bangladesh team is as strong as any other team. Undoubtedly India team is very strong if we talk about Asia Cup then they have played very well and they have maintained that consistency in ODI World Cup as well. India team's batting and bowling is very strong, our Bangladesh is not less in any respect, if they bat a little better then I don't think it will be very difficult to win the match with India. Of course, many good wishes for the Bangladesh team, they can play well in Zeno field

Good start by Bangladeshi batters as they have scored 107 runs so far for the loss of one wicket. Bad news coming out from the Indian dressing room. Hardik Pandya won't be able to field for the rest of the innings. Which means India is now short of one extra bowler. Who will bowl in place of Hardik in case another bowler gets hit, has to be decided by Rohit Sharma.

The two openers of Bangladesh started well, but the batsmen of Bangladesh could not maintain consistency. After the dismissal of Tanzid Hasan, Bangladesh lost the wickets of Shanto and Miraz quite quickly. If Shakib was in the squad, Bangladesh would have got some extra advantage in batting. Even then there are still players like Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiq and Mahmudullah. Hopefully we will see better performances from Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah. These two are the most experienced players in Bangladesh's squad. Liton remained unbeaten on 65 off 79 balls. Bangladesh's collection of 133 in 26 overs. Chances of 300 runs are very low.

[Bureau]

This is why India's team is so good in the World Cup, they do not allow the opposition to maintain the momentum. Like all previous Indian games, the opposition always gets a good start then one wicket falls and the opponent does not get a chance to come back. The pitch is as flat as a road and Bangladesh batters are now struggling to hit boundaries and even take single runs. If Bangladesh want to give a good fight then they need to cross 300 runs otherwise this match will go out of their hands. Indian batters are in good form especially Rohit Sharma a target below 300 runs would be easy for them to chase on this pitch.

Bangladesh had a great start against India but now there are doubts whether they will be able to play 50 overs in the conditions of the game. Bangladesh's two opening batsmen were able to make a big partnership of 93 runs, but since Tanzin Tamim got out, Bangladesh started losing wickets regularly. Bangladesh's run rate before the first wicket was around seven, now that run rate has come down to less than five. Liton Das looked like Bangladesh would touch 300 runs but he was eventually dismissed and returned to the pavilion. Due to the fall of four wickets before 30 overs, Bangladesh now has only three wickets, that is, if India can get these three batsmen out, then Bangladesh will be all out very quickly.

Right, Bangladesh started very well. Looking at the start, I expected Bangladesh to put up a good score against India today and a game of that score would be very competitive. But at the moment Bangladesh has collected 149 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. But I think Bangladesh team can't give India a very good score to win today because Bangladesh team is losing wickets very fast at the moment. It can be estimated from this game of Bangladesh that they can score 220 to 250 runs today. But if Bangladesh team can bowl well against India today, maybe the game can be a bit competitive. But it is expected that Bangladesh will bowl very well against India today.

[Compromise me]

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first.Bangladesh batters are struggling and they could not set a big Indian bowlers are performing good and India will catch Bangladeshi team under 260 runs and 260 score is not big score for Indian team to chase in the home ground and on batting friendly Bangladesh score is 202 with fall of 6 wickets in 43.1 overs.Mahumdullah  is not out on 15 runs in 20 balls and Nasum is also on the crease with no run. Openers played well and made a partnership of 93 runs then the process of falling wickets continues and now , Bangladeshi 6 batsmans are in pavilion .Now ,Muhamdullah is the only batsman that can make a good total on the board. Otherwise ,India will win this match easily because India has In form batters which are playing excellent in every format  and Indian selection is best and they picked players on merit.India will win this match eventually.

[Shishir99]

Match eating performance by Santo, Miraj, and Towhid Hridoy. Towhid Hridoy was struggling in the whole World Cup but unfortunately, he did not manage to play well yet again. These three top-order batters scored 27 runs from 65 balls. That's eleven overs. The openers did a good job but the middle-order batters continued the momentum. Unfortunately, they failed.

256 is nothing against India no matter what ground you are playing in. When it comes to their own home, you won't be able to win with 300 runs on the board. Especially with such a bowling line up. It's true that Bangladesh improved their bowling, but not enough.
