ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[romero121]

We never imagined that 2019 champions England would perform so badly. As England have won only against Bangladesh and lost the remaining three matches, England's chances of winning will also become difficult in the later matches as well.

They are approaching the ODI game in the T20I mode that is why they are failing. I didn't expect this to happen at all and today everyone learnt a lesson about how someone shouldn't approach their game when chasing no matter how deep their batting line up is.

For the last wicket they had a 70 run partnership which helped them to stay away from the bottom of the table but from now to reaching the top 4 seems quite an impossible task for ENG.

New Zealand can qualify to semifinal
Indian can qualify to semifinal
South Africa can qualify to semifinal
Australia can qualify to semifinal,
Australia can beat easily Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Netherlands even England.
But Pakistan can qualify ,if Pakistan beat Bangladesh, Afghanistan, New Zealand, South Africa and England...

In 2023 World Cup, India is in the best position as it is being played in their home country and they will try their best to play in the final. India also gets an added advantage from the visitors as hosts. Every player in India played very well, batting line is strong and bowling. New Zealand are in good form they are playing well in every match. I think the final could be between India and New Zealand. If Pakistan can play well in their next matches then they also have a chance to play in the semi-finals. Pakistan's chances of winning the match with Bangladesh are very high. Along with Sri Lanka, maybe there is a fifty fifty chance for Pakistan to win. Now finally let's see how well Pakistan can play their next matches to play in the semi finals.

India holds the home country advantage as a well as have the best squad which was playing good cricket unlike the match situation. Rest of the teams were also very competing. Tomorrow we'll know whether it is New Zealand or India to take the lead position on the points table. Every team is giving their best, but the small mistakes were changing the match. I find India team strong, but once they reach Semifinals they'll be over confident or they'll be experiencing pressure playing on the home ground. Both could be difficult thing to overcome and win. Lets see what India can do.

India's biggest advantage is their familiarity with the pitch. For this they are getting a bit more benefits. Also the Indian team is in great form now. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in particular are in very good form. And this is why India is able to score high in every match. Although India's bowling line-up is a bit weak, they are able to do well in every match due to the excellent performance of their batsmen.
I am sure New Zealand and India will qualify for the semi-finals. However, it is not predictable which two teams will be in the third and fourth place in the table. I think South Africa, Pakistan, Australia have equal chances.

India vs NewZealand

By far the most awaited game to come. Both the team has played 4 matches and won 4 of them. Today any one team’s winning streak will be broke. Today India will come with a disadvantage, as due to the recent injury Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the team for today’s match. On the other hand Dharmashala has been a great fast bowling pitch, so Trent Boult will do wonders. Today it will be very difficult for India for playing in certain circumstances. What’s your take on this.

Today is the biggest match of World Cup tournament where 2 strong opponents will play against each other. New Zealand and England have been performing brilliantly since the beginning and have not lost a single match so far. Both the teams have 8 points which means they have played a total of 4 matches in which they have won 100%. New Zealand and India are unbeaten in the first four matches but they are going to be beaten today. Today maybe India will be defeated if not New Zealand will be defeated. 

Kane Williamson's injury for more than a month will undoubtedly put New Zealand on the back foot in this match against India. New Zealand will miss a great captain as well as a great batsman today against India. 
My bet will be on India and maybe New Zealand is going to lose against India in the fifth match.

Bad news for England

There is a bad news for England through today's match especially if England get all out before 169 then England will be at the bottom of the points table. Even Afghanistan, ranked 10th, will hold their own and may not qualify to qualify for the semi-finals/final of the World Cup. It is very likely that England will be all out before 169 runs today. Meanwhile, England have lost their top 6 batsmen for 73 runs. For which England is under huge pressure, England will lose today's match by a huge margin.

If any such condition is given then England has already fulfilled that condition. They have already met the target of 169 runs. They may not have the chance to win the match but they won't be at the bottom of the points table.
Oh my god England were bowled out for 170 runs which was the highest defeat of 229 runs in this world cup. England were bowled out for 170 with Topley out due to injury and they blamed their batting failure.
England is already ninth in the points table and Afghanistan is tenth in the points table. Although there is slight difference in their NRR.

Out of 4 matches, England won only one match. Only against Bangladesh they got a big win. Even then, the England team is behind Bangladesh in the points table. I don't think they have any chance of making it to the semi-finals anymore. Because the performance of South Africa and Australia is now better than England. India, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia are likely to qualify for the semi-finals.

South Africa improved their net run rate with a 229-run victory over England, securing their position in third place with six points. New Zealand continues to lead the table. South Africa giving England a proper hammering by
Damaging the Net run rate as well. South African bowlers delivered an excellent performance with the ball to outplay England in Mumbai, Gerald Coetzee took 3 wickets and Lungi Ngidi also took 2 wickets his bowling figures 2/26. Heinrich Klaasen gets his well-deserved Player of the Match for his century knock of 109 runs in 67 balls against England.

Both India and New Zealand have good pace bowlers.But it is true that the bowling speed of New Zealand bowlers is more than that of India.But India's Bumrah and Md Siraj are currently in great form, especially since the Asia Cup, they have been playing consistently well.I think India will have the most advantage today as they will be playing at their home ground which is an added motivation for them.These two teams are in a very good position in this World Cup, many think that these two teams may play in the finals.If there is a fast bowling piece on the ground where today's game is to be played then both the teams will get equal advantage as the fast bowling line up of both the teams is very strong.

2023- India World Cup England team initially looked very strong but they could not show it in their game.They have won only one match against Bangladesh and lost the remaining three matches for which they have dropped down in the points table.It seems unbelievable that England lost to Afghanistan.England has a lot of experienced and marketable batting but they are not able to do any work.England may not be able to qualify in the position they are in right now or the statistics they are standing at.

Most important match in the world cup for sure. Two undefeated teams will be playing against each other. After the match one of them would remain undefeated and the other will be defeated. There might be some changes in the point table after the match ends. Hardik Pandya has been rested today due to his injury in the last game. He might get replaced by Ishan Kishan or SKY, I think Ishan Kishan is the right person as he has proven that he has the temperament to play 50 overs match. Who will be chosen as will be decided by the Indian team management before the match starts. I did check the betting odds for today's game and India has a slight edge over the Kiwis.

[Compromise me]

Sri Lanka, who are yet to win a match in three matches at the 2023 World Cup. Without seeing the face of victory in this World Cup, Sri Lanka will face the Netherlands today. In today's match, the Netherlands scored 262 runs after losing all the wickets in the scheduled 50 overs. Sri Lanka will enter the field today with a target of 263 runs, but it is expected that Sri Lanka can win by defeating the Netherlands in today's match. Meanwhile, the Netherlands created a sensational atmosphere in the World Cup by defeating South Africa. But let's see who wins this competition by defeating them in today's match. But I can predict Sri Lanka win today.

yesterday Sri Lanka won the match by 5 wickets,Notherland is not that kind of team that can beat top class teams confidently but they lose South Africa incidently. South Africa don't play their natural game and  Notherland bowlers get benefit of rain .But in this match ,rain did not interrupt  and Sri Lanka didn't repeat the Mistake of South Africa and chased 263 score in 48.2 overs .Sri Lankan all team played very well , especially ,Samarawickrama made  91 runs in 107 balls by excellent played.Nissanka also played well and performed  54 runs in 52 balls and Asalanka scored 44 runs in 66 balls. Asalanka contributed well in chasing this score.From Netherland bowling side only one bowler played well ,Dutt took 3 wickets by giving 44 runs in 10 overs .From Sri Lankan bowling side ,Madushanka took  4 excellent wickets by giving 49 runs in 9.4 overs.

Mad respect for the Netherlands. They successfully restricted this destructive South Africa's middle order. After watching SA vs ENG, their win against SA looks even more juicer. I hope ICC taking all the notes.

And they did with limited resources too, most of the players doesn't even practice a lot for cricket and I heard one of the player used to be a delivery person couple of months before the world cup while the front-runners are preparing themselves for years so yes mad respect for them. This performance may inspire the people from the Netherlands and in the coming years they will come as strong team with proper resources too.

Yeah and most of them didn't even have regular contracts and few used to get payment as low as $200-300 per match.

Hardly anyone cares about cricket in the Netherlands but their recent win against SA did get some traction in the Print media and made into the front page of the sports section which is an encouraging sign.

Netherlands is different from teams of Gulf countries, USA and Canada since there are many local players in there squad. We see that most associate teams have players from south Asia. Netherlands performance so far is quite good, they have won only one match so far still they fought well in all of the games they played so far. If cricket gets popularity in Netherlands then money wont be any issue for players as Netherlands is a developed country.

The New Zealand vs India match will start in the next few hours. Today we have just one match. India has very good players and with the help of them, India won them all matches. At this time, India is in the second position in the point table, which produces confidence in the Indian team.

Now start to talk about the Indian players, India has Virat Kholi, Rohit Sharma, and the best all-rounder Hardik Pandeya, and in bowlers, India has Jasprit Bumrah and Muhammad Siraj, and you can imagine the strongest team. I think India has the strongest players in this World Cup.

It will be difficult to form an opinion for both teams in today's match. However, India is much ahead of the past statistics of both teams in ODIs. Still, New Zealand is not far behind. In this high voltage match today we will see a tough match at the Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Both the teams will want to fight hard to win. In this match of victory and defeat, one team must lose. But I predict that India will win today's match at home by defeating New Zealand.

Hardik Pandya is not playing today as he is injured. Either Ishan or SKY might be replacing him in today's match. The match would be a close one as the betting odds have given India a slight edge. Indian bowling attack has been incredible in this tournament. The opening pair and the middle order has always given the team a good and stable start. Toss would again play a crucial role today. The team winning the toss might choose to bat first.

India won the toss against New Zealand and elected to field first. New Zealand lost a crucial wicket early in their first innings. Devon Conway returned to the pavilion after being dismissed for no runs in the second over of Mohammad Siraj's first spell. Losing early wickets does not bode well for New Zealand. New Zealand are heavily dependent on their top-order batsmen, as they lost a wicket early on, so the two New Zealand batsmen are under a lot of pressure at the moment.

India went into the field today against New Zealand with two changes but New Zealand fielded with an unchanged XI. Mohammad Sami was included in the team instead of Sardul Thakur due to poor performance and SKY was included in the team instead of Hardik Pandya due to injury.

Neither New Zealand nor India have lost in the current World Cup. But in Maharan, a team has to leave the field with bone bruises. Which party's luck will smile today?  That is the thing to watch now. Meanwhile, the hosts started the World Cup by defeating the mighty Australia.  After defeating Afghanistan in the second match, India won against arch-rivals Pakistan and Bangladesh. New Zealand is now in front of them on a mission to win the fifth consecutive victory. However, in terms of statistics, New Zealand is ahead of India. India started very well leaving New Zealand in trouble. New Zealand's current score is 19 runs for 2 wickets in eight overs. Now let's see how many runs New Zealand can score in the end.

New Zealand lost two wickets very quickly. And losing wickets so quickly has slowed down their performance. In 10 overs of the power play, the team collected only 34 runs, losing 2 wickets. We have not seen the New Zealand team batting so slowly in the previous matches.

This pitch of Dharmasala is not batting friendly. Bowlers are at a good advantage. If New Zealand can set a target of more than 250 then I think it will be a good enough collection to contend with. Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell are now at the crease. Two very talented and experienced batsmen. Hopefully, the New Zealand team will provide a big target today.

[pakhitheboss]

India won the toss by choose to bowl first. The reason being India has been good in chasing targets in this tournament. The Indian bowlers started well by taking two wickets quickly. There could have been another wicket if Jadeja had taken the catch of Ravindra. I never expected a simple catch could have been dropped by him. I hope this catch drop doesn't became a pain for the Indian team.

Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell are batting very responsibly. Their collection was 33 runs in the first 10 overs. At the end of 20 overs, New Zealand collected 91 runs. New Zealand did not lose any more wickets. Rachin Ravindras remained unbeaten on 39 off 46 balls and Daryl Mitchell on 31 off 38 balls. New Zealand's batting order is very strong. New Zealand have the potential to deliver big targets if Ravindra and Mitchell's partnership lasts. Tom Latham, Phillips and Chapman are all capable of playing big innings. I would say if New Zealand don't lose wickets in next 10 overs they will give 300+ target today.

[libert19]

NZ caught up real well after losing two early wickets. I feel this where England went wrong yesterday, if you wanna make big score or chasing it, you don't necessarily go guns blazing starting first over. Teams either go under pressure and eat up unnecessary balls or try to hit each ball and get out, the latter happened with England.

Jadeja's catch drop was unexpected, but he recouped it in other games where he did unimaginable breakthroughs
