ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Compromise me]

Sri Lanka batted all out and scored only 241 runs, which I think was Sri Lanka's worst batting performance today. Although I predicted today that the match might be won, but today's performance looks like Sri Lankan team will definitely lose today's match. Because 241 is a very low score for a normal team in the World Cup, and Afghanistan will not have to be under any pressure to collect this low score. As at the moment Afghanistan batsmen have collected good runs, and they can easily win against Sri Lanka. Afghanistan bowled brilliantly today and managed to pick up good wickets due to which Sri Lanka were under pressure and couldn't get the runs high. Moreover, Afghanistan's batting performance is good today due to which the players are batting brilliantly to collect the target of 242 runs given by Sri Lanka. Afghanistan will definitely win the match with a good result against Sri Lanka if they play like this at the last minute. Afghanistan need just 76 runs from 90 balls to meet the target at the moment, they still have many wickets in hand and if they play to the end, victory is assured.

Those who come to play the World Cup are no small team, they can cause any incident at any time.You will note that Afghanistan have back well since they lost their first match to Bangladesh and have been playing every match against the opposition as planned.Afghanistan have already beaten two of the strongest teams in this World Cup, England and Pakistan, which is a truly impeccable record for them.Afghanistan are going to win the match against Sri Lanka today too, maybe it is just a matter of time to win.Afghanistan bowlers bowled very well today as well as their batting which will play a big role in their win.

Afghanistan started their first match with a loss against Bangladesh but they quickly proved themselves in the World Cup that they can play well. Today, Afghanistan beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets to keep their semi-final dream alive. Afghanistan bowled really well today. They restricted Srilanka to 241 runs due to great bowling. Afghanistan's batting line was very good especially Rahmat and Azmatullah's impeccable partnership today Afghanistan got this victory. Azmatullah scored 73 runs in 36 balls and Rahmat scored 49 runs in 57 balls. Congratulations to Afghanistan team this team will go far in future.

Afghanistan played very well and achieved the target in 45.2 overs. Afghanistan bowling is top of the World through which it won match against Pakistan. Rashid Khan is good bowler ,he changed the momentum of whole team.But in this match,Fazalhaq performed very well and took 4 wickets and he got a player of the match.Afghanistan chased this score easily with fall of only 3 wickets.In this match, Afghanistan batsmans played very well, Especially Hashmatullah,Azmatullah and Rehmat Khan who performed half centuries for their team.Now, Afghanistan is on 5 number in points table of World Cup.
There are less chances for Afghanistan team to qualify for Semi Final but they are playing a good cricket.

Sri Lanka's current score is 183 for 6 with 40 overs to play. Looking at the current state of their game, it seems that the Afghanistan bowlers are putting a lot of pressure on the Sri Lankan batsmen. Sri Lanka's game looks like they are playing a strong team. If the run rate is like this then maximum Sri Lanka can score 240 runs. If Afghanistan can stop Sri Lanka within 240 runs then this match will be very easy for Afghanistan.

After Kusal got out SL batters fell rather quickly, regarding whether Afghans win today or not will depend on their openers, if SL can get their wickets early they are pretty much sure to lose, since they heavily depend on them for a good start.

There were several reasons for Sri Lanka's defeat, especially when Sri Lanka came out to bat, their slow batting made it seem doubtful that Sri Lanka would be very likely to score 200 runs. If Sri Lanka played an aggressive innings instead of playing in a defensive mood, Sri Lanka might have gone over the target of 280 runs, but the innings played by Sri Lanka in a defensive mood is considered to be one of the main reasons for the defeat. Moreover, Sri Lanka today is considered as one of the main reasons for the defeat due to very poor batting, fielding and bowling.

yea, I watched briefly during start of Afgan innings when they got the Gurbaz's wicket at mere 2 runs, and checked back right now and realized SL won the match. It's honestly surprising.

[dezoel]

Afghanistan is batting at the target of 242 runs given by Sri Lanka where they managed to score 72 runs for 2 wickets at the end of 17.  Afghanistan have lost only one wicket in the power play and they will probably have two wickets in the first 20 overs in which case Afghanistan have more chances to win this match than Sri Lanka. Afghanistan have to ensure that they don't lose wickets, even if they run less than the number of runs per over they need, there is no problem, they just have to stay on the wicket. No matter how well Sri Lanka bowls, they will deliver one or two bad deliveries in the over and Afghanistan will have to exploit those one or two bad deliveries. If Afghanistan wait for opportunities and if they don't lose wickets then surely Afghanistan will win this match.

Recently we have drastic changes into game with T20 Leagues are giving good chance for few players to increase their confidence level which is helping for quality to be improved if you want to stay into better spot Countries like Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan fail to adopt these changes and now facing consequences which are good for them with defeat against Afghanistan in this world cup is wake-up call hopefully now they will change their strategy and improve their quality as well otherwise they need to check reality check of West Indies.

Afghanistan which is not able to play at their home doing impressive job and having good results hopefully things will take good change back at home, and they will be able to do better and consistently today we have another impressive performance from them which now allow them for staying at the 5th spot and have chance for the top four as well if they are able to stop anyone from these Australia and South Africa.

I would say we got better performance than expected from Afghanistan. After the good performance of the bowlers, I was pretty sure that the Afghanistan team would win this match. Afghanistan bowlers bowled very controlled. FazalhaqFarooqi in particular bowled brilliantly. He gave only 34 runs in 10 overs and took 4 important wickets. Also, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowled very controlled. And that's why they were able to restrict the Sri Lankan team to just 241 runs. Along with good bowling by the bowlers, every batsman in the squad batted very well. And this is why the Afghanistan team won quite easily.

2023 World Cup Bangladesh started with a win in their first match but the Tigers couldn't sustain the streak. Today, Bangladesh will play against Pakistan. They have played 6 of their 7th matches, out of which they have lost all five and won only one, that too against Afghanistan. 2023 World Cup is Bangladesh's worst performance. The players of Bangladesh know that they are unable to overcome the sadness of failure. We wish all the best to the Bangladesh team as they take on Pakistan today. They should play at least 50 overs against Pakistan. Bangladesh's batting disaster was earlier. But I have never seen when one wicket falls, all the wickets go in quick succession. If Bangladesh can't bat well against Pakistan then they will have to lose today's match as they have lost five matches. We who are Bangladeshi cricket fans definitely want Bangladesh not to look back. Today's match against Pakistan should be played well at least. We can comfort our hearts that Bangladesh has turned around.

After beating Afghanistan in the first match I thought this World Cup will be memorable for  Bangladesh. They might be able to perform very well in this World Cup. Because Bangladesh's p erformance against afghanistan was very organized. But we have seen bad performance of Bangladesh in every match except this one match.  Especially the performance of the  batsmen of Bangladesh is very bad. And the  bad performance of the batsmen is the reason why England and Bangladesh are so bad.
If we want to do  well against Pakistan today, the batsmen must do well. At the same time, the performance of the bowlers should also be controlled. Pakistan's  batting order is strong,  but their performances are erratic. If the Bangladeshi bowlers do not perform well, Pakistan have the ability to deliver a target of  more than 350. I don't think Bangladesh will win against a team like Pakistan. Bangladesh will accept a shameful defeat in today's match as well.

First of all, Bangladesh left the World Cup. Three more matches have to be played just for formalities. Bangladesh got 1 win after playing six consecutive matches. Bangladesh could not cope with Netherlands, the weakest team in the tournament. Bangladesh has met Pakistan twice on the World Cup stage. One win for Bangladesh and the other for Pakistan. This time, Bangladesh will enter the field against them with the aim of surviving in the Champions Trophy. Bangladesh wants to leave the field with a victory against Pakistan.  Can show great bowling and great batting performance then hopefully Bangladesh can win today!

In all probability, Bangladesh will finish behind teams like Afghanistan and Netherlands. Advantage for them is that Pakistan is not in good momentum. After winning their first two matches (against Sri Lanka and Netherlands), Pakistan went on to lose 4 consecutive matches. But then Bangladesh is having 5 consecutive losses to their name. They seem to be in a race with England to see who will finish at the rock-bottom. Apart from the match against Pakistan today, they have two more matches remaining - against Sri Lanka and Australia.

Afghanistan deserves congratulations for winning handily by seven wickets. The Afghan team performed a fantastic effort and displayed incredible poise while pursuing the 242 goal. A real game-changer, Fazalhaq Farooqi was selected player of the match for his outstanding 4/34 spell. The batters for Afghanistan played with a tremendous deal of responsibility Azmatullah Omarzai outstanding 73 runs off just 63 balls was a highlight. Afghanistan played with evident ease, and every player made a substantial contribution.

Afghanistan is far ahead of England, Bangladesh and Pakistan in World Cup 2023 seats. Because Afghanistan has already won against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England and is at the fifth position in the points table which is the most incredible success in this World Cup. Best wishes and best wishes to the Afghanistan National Cricket Team and wish the future growth and success of Afghanistan cricket.

Well.. the fact that this edition of the world cup is being hosted by India has helped them quite a bit. Afghan spinners have performed well, and this has enabled them to rise to no.5 in the points table. But I would be rather cautious when I talk about the long-term perspective. They need to win more consistently in SENA nations, to be counted as one of the top full members. And now the issue is that they don't get opportunities to play in SENA nations often. Afghanistan is a tier-2 test nation, so the other teams are not required to setup bilaterals against them.

[ZeshanRandhawa]

LOL! Afghanistan continus to defeat big names in cricket! What exactly is happening in this World Cup? A team that ranked last in the 2019 World Cup suddenly started defeating teams that expected the least. Another good game by Afghanistan with a an amazing ability to chase runs. With this win Afghanistan are now place 5 th on the point table. Next, they woul be playing against the Netherlands and if they are able to defeat them, then they might have a chance in the semifinals.

The Afghan batsmen displayed incredible poise Under the tactical leadership of coach Jonathan Trott, in bowling and batting units to easily chase down the score 242 runs. The conservative attitude and lack of desire that marked Sri Lanka's innings proved to be a hindrance, particularly during a middle-order batting collapse. In my opinion Afghanistan this victory not only secured 2 crucial points but also alive theirs hope to qualify semi final of this world cup, and posing a formidable challenge to Sri Lanka as they attempt to reach the semi-finals.

2023 World Cup If they can continue playing the way Afghanistan are playing, maybe they can keep their semi-final dreams alive. If Afghanistan can win their next matches, they will play in the semi-finals. Afghanistan's batting and bowling are both very strong and look like they can win against a strong side anytime. Afghanistan team will go far in future.

Afghanistan has only a remote chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. But if they do, one of the much fancied teams will be left out (one among South Africa, Australia and New Zealand). But the chances are too low. Their next match is going to be somewhat easy (vs Netherlands), but they have two matches against tough opposition - Australia and South Africa. So I don't see them getting to 12 points, which would guarantee them of a spot in the semi-finals. Australia on the other hand just need to win 2 out of the 3 matches.

[Littlemini]

After the victory against Afghanistan, the Tigers lost four matches in a row. Then the match against the Netherlands to keep the hope alive was the last leg of the victory home return. But that hope also turned into disappointment. Shakib Bahini did not care about the Netherlands. The red and green team confirmed their departure from the World Cup with a shameful loss.  Also lost every match by a big margin. One after another defeat, Bangladesh suffered a shock in the dream of going to the semi-finals. The dream is over for him. If nothing major happens, there is little chance of making it to the semi-finals. However, captain Shakib Al Hasan had already confirmed that he would be in number five or six even if he could not go to the semis. And if they want to keep that position then there is no option for Bangladesh to win against Pakistan in the next match. Today, the Tigers will face each other at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.The match will start at 2:30 PM. However, Team Tigers will enter the field in the eleventh in the hope of winning against Pakistan. There is a possibility of change in the opening. However, Mehdi Hasan Miraj can be seen opening in the XI.

[Bureau]

Which team do you think would take the 4th place on the point table of the World Cup? There are two on my mind either it will be Australia or it will be Afghanistan. Both the teams had a bad start but they both are now winning matches against some of the best teams. They have placed a simple strategy and it is working for example Afghanistan is now only looking to chase.

Today we will see both Pakistan and Bangladesh playing against each other to gain a position on the point table. Pakistan has to win today otherwise it won't be easy for them to qualify for the semifinals. After getting defeated by the Netherlands I think the Bangladesh team needs to look into their batting. Considering both the teams I think Pakistan is far better and the favourite to win today.

They have played 6 of their 7th matches, out of which they have lost all five and won only one, that too against Afghanistan. 2023 World Cup is Bangladesh's worst performance. The players of Bangladesh know that they are unable to overcome the sadness of failure. We wish all the best to the Bangladesh team as they take on Pakistan today. They should play at least 50 overs against Pakistan. Bangladesh's batting disaster was earlier. But I have never seen when one wicket falls, all the wickets go in quick succession. If Bangladesh can't bat well against Pakistan then they will have to lose today's match as they have lost five matches. We who are Bangladeshi cricket fans definitely want Bangladesh not to look back. Today's match against Pakistan should be played well at least. We can comfort our hearts that Bangladesh has turned around.

This match has started on the pitch and Bangladesh perform their batting lineup in field. In first over of this match, Shaheen took down he wicket of T.Hasan batsmen in last ball of his over with 0 runs. Now, Bangladesh team has batted 5 overs and they scored 10 runs only and they also lost one more wicket of Shanto batsman. This wickets also taken by Shaheen after he scoring 4 runs from 3 balls with one 4s. Now Bangladesh looks in a very bad condition with lot of pressure on their entire team. If Pakistan is performed like this and they will successfully got winning and move up on points table.

We can never accept that Afghanistan was able to beat teams like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in several matches, but they lost by a huge margin against Bangladesh. However, Afghanistan will not be able to accept this defeat easily as they have beaten a much better team than Bangladesh while they have lost with Bangladesh. That Bangladesh could not win a single match except Afghanistan. Bangladesh team will not be able to win any other match.

[JSRAW]

I seriously can't understand how come Bongs are banking on Tanzid Hasan, who has less than 15 average and is also inexperienced in the ODI format.

Are people sitting at the top of management that incompetent or does this guy have some sort of hidden talent or something? or maybe there is a thing between Shakib or Tamim in the play?

LOL.. He scored 51 against India (in a match where he and Litton Das put up an opening partnership of 93 runs). But apart from that, his form has been horrible so far. Litton Das on the other hand has performed somewhat consistently and seems to be their best batsman. Even today he made 45 and rescued Bangladesh from complete annihilation. BTW, you are right about the animosity between the two senior players (Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal). When Tamim was dropped from the world cup squad, Shakib claimed that it was because he refused to bat at no.3 and this triggered a war of words between the two.
