If Pakistan had played aggressively from the 20th over then maybe Pakistan could have scored more than 300 runs. A target of 282 runs is not a tough target on the batting pitch in Chennai. If Afghanistan's opening pair does not succeed in breaking today's match, Pakistan will not have a chance to win.

They could have gotten close to 300 had Iftikar Ahmed not gotten out leaving 4 balls, in last over Pakistan scored mere 3 runs, with he being there Pak could have had 10-20 runs, and Shadab also would not have worry about keeping strike.

Regarding Afghanistan openers you are right, whenever they perform well, Afghans wins the match.

Afghanistan's performance is truly commendable. This is the first time they beat Pakistan that too in the World Cup. Afghanistan also beat England in this World Cup but only lost to Bangladesh which was really unimaginable. Afghanistan have been able to defeat top teams like Pakistan and England which is the most valuable gift for Afghanistan in this World Cup.
In yesterday's match, Pakistan's runs were very short due to some bad decisions. Normally a match is not competitive if the score is below 300 runs on the batting pitch but if Pakistan could have scored as many runs in the end as they did in the beginning then the score would have gone above 300 runs. But in terms of bowling, Pakistan was far behind Afghanistan. Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi in particular made it easy for Afghanistan to win because of a lot of bad bowling.
Pakistan won the first two matches and lost the remaining three matches, which led to their deterioration in the points table. To move to the best fourth place, Pakistan must win all the next matches which has become uncertain for Pakistan. Now, if Pakistan wants to move to the fourth position, there is nothing to do except wait for time to see if it can win the next matches.

South Africa keeps steamrolling their opponents thanks to their crazy batsmen like De Kock, Hendricks, Markram, Klaasen, Miller and Jansen which is why it's even more commendable that a team like Netherlands defeated them comfortably.

Miraz was the only good bowler while the rest underperformed. Bangladesh are set to get thrashed in this encounter.

Lol, I had set easy win for SA so when Mahmudullah was playing I kept hoping they will at least lose by below 99 runs. Unfortunately it didn't happen but it made game fun to watch.

Some early loses done good damage otherwise I was also expecting some resistance from them with having score around 270 to 300 was on cards but still Bangladesh done good job at the end.
England is surely going to happy because with this big defeat now England is at the 9th spot and Bangladesh is at the 10th spot in league table which is positive change for the defending champions which are looking for better results against Sri Lanka.
Quinton de Kock is now new leading the batting table for the highest runs scorer in this event which is good today as he was playing mostly were feeling we will have another double hundred, but he lost this by inches.

I think Bangladesh middle order is responsible for this brutal defeat because thier irresponsible play make things worse for them and if you have a big target like 350 to chased then you have to play carefully with coo mind, firstly took the game deep build partnership and try to be more wickets in hands because more wicket in hand give you extra confidence to took a charge for big hit in last over to level runrate which will ultimately make things easy.

Yeh most of us expect that it will be atleast easy win for southafrica and that why we have same pick but unfortunately Bangladesh performance were not up to the mark which cost them a trashing defeat and that why we just got a single point just only lucky guy from us got twice

Looks like Australia is all set to thrash Netherlands after scoring 399 thanks to centuries from Warner and Maxwell. It's still tough to believe that this is the same Netherlands team that comfortably defeated South Africa.

However, Australia is over-dependent on Warner at the moment which is a big weakness that they need to rectify asap if you ask me.

Here I agreed with you about this another thrashing win for the Australia because after securing 399 now they are having two early breakthroughs which is good for them and look like big win with good NRR is having into their pocket which will increase their chances for the semi-final spot as well.
Here I am not agreed with you that over depended on David Warner they also have few quality batsmen even now reshuffle is coming after this world cup because few players are going to retire which will open doors for the many youngsters and things will be changed in this team as well with they have few good youngsters already like Cameroon Green and Mitchel Marsh which are giving their best for the Aussies.

Really good comback has been done by Australian after first two consecutive matches defeats, no doubt they have history top priority team ever of ICC finals and that's make them more unique and special from all other teams. Now I expect that they will be semifinalist at least but can be a finalist because I believe this will be the team who has ability to beat even consecutive winning streak team india in final.
I think match results depends on current day performance and Netherlands performance were not up to the mark they way they delivered against South Africa.
Anyway let have a look on tomorrow match which is I think will be more excited and will be drag till last ball but victorious will be England I believe may be I am wrong

PAK Vs RSA

86/3

My favourite Mohammed Rizwan out...by Gerald Coetzee.
The dismissal of one of Pakistan's key players, Mohammad Rizwan, meant that Pakistan's innings was half a run short. Abdullah Safiq and Imam-ul-Haq did not get off to a good start in the Pakistani innings with the bat in hand. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat, but if they do not give a big target, Pakistan will not be able to win today's match.
If Pakistan loses today's match, there will be no more chances. On the other hand, if South Africa wins, the semi-final will be confirmed. However, no comment is correct until the end of the game.

Today even I am supporting my country Pakistan but still I have to praise South Africa because they have done good home-work for having good result and until right now they are in full command with Pakistan 145 for 5 all top order gone without any good contribution which is good for the South Africa if Pakistan fail to have reasonable target then surely today they could be also out of the world cup without any problem like England which could be massive below for this one of the most not entertaining world cup in ODI history.
Currently, we all set for the India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand as the top contenders for the title with any team can win because mostly India have problems in semi-final or final which are hurting them badly hopefully we will have some better games in last rounds.

They will definitely qualify for the semi-finals after which they will exit since I am not expecting them to win the cup this time around.

You are jumping to conclusions here. India is the only team that pretty much confirmed their semi-finals spot while the other 3 slots are still completely open. India, SA and NZ have the highest chances of winning the cup this time around.

I am not against any country, but we need to understand few realities as well right now India is undefeated but in last knock out games mostly they choke which is surely not good for them as today we have Nepal undefeated into final and then out of the game by the UAE, so please accept realities which are happening on ground as well.
Currently, we can't predict about winner because right now Australians are also looking dangerous and in big games they have good record as well with South Africa is surely surprising right now but right now they are under pressure after losing Klaasen and Van Dusan against Pakistan very interesting match and situations favoring both teams after these two quick wickets.

I will go with you because i select paksitan too for win but unfortunately things divert in our opponents favour, no doubt paksitan has give tough time to one of best performer and high runs scorer team of this ongoing world cup which give indication that paksitan fought hard almost get the victory if umpire raised his finger for Shami LBW because after review decision will goes in first umpire favour and here paksitan got damage because they have only few runs to defend while Maharaj who has ability to chased required runs move to front wickets and here we lose this important match.
To be honest it's worst ever world cup for paksitan and England because for a first time in world cup they have shown such a poor and bad performance with a consecutive loses. Anyway paksitan almost knockout 9f world officially

Australia Vs New Zealand

Bangladesh Vs Netherland

If Australia could have played the same aggressive innings in the beginning as it did in the end, then Australia would have scored 450 plus runs. David Warner and Travis Head put on a 175-run partnership but Australia's run-rate dropped in the middle and Australia ended their innings with one over to spare towards the end. In today's match, even if Australia is ahead in many aspects, if New Zealand can form a good partnership, the picture of the match can turn the other way.

In today's match between Bangladesh and Netherlands, the Bangladeshi bowlers have been able to put a lot of pressure on the Dutch batters. The first wicket fell in the team's fourth run, but a few more wickets fell towards the end and the Netherlands are under a lot of pressure, losing 4 wickets for 90 runs so far. Bangladesh's spinner attack and pacer attack are unlikely to go above 250 plus innings in Netherlands.

SA barely won the game yesterday, meanwhile Superbu "comfortable win".

I'm sure you meant other way around there. But anyway, I feel they choked in middle rather than in beginning or in the end.

Australia middle order batsmen could not score runs in several overs. Moreover, Mitchell Marsh scored just 36 runs off 51 balls whereas the other batsmen's run figures were much higher than the ball figures, giving the opposite picture to Mitchell Marsh's innings.
New Zealand's run rate is currently as good as Australia's but New Zealand are 177 with the loss of three wickets. Today it is very likely that my prediction will go in vain. I have taken the prediction in favor of Australia but New Zealand are in a better position in the game.

I'm quite sure Aussies will win today. Australia made a comeback in tourney but I had made my picks early (plus locked them as well) so I have NZ selected otherwise I'd have chosen Aussies today.

Hey guys @you and @Haunebu 100 perfect in selecting Newzeland as winner.
We all others selected Aussie but finally Aussie don't win and we all don't get any points.



Heart attack match.
Given five extra runs in the last over, I assumed that New Zealand would win the match. But the loss of Nessham wicket ensured Australia's victory.

Let match end, Jimmy Neesham goes and New Zealand is gone, runs are certainly doable but not doable with singles/doubles, for that they will have to risk for boundaries and for that they don't have many wickets left.

[Haunebu]

2 back to back narrow winners. Wow! Pakistan vs South Africa was my favorite game so far followed by Australia vs New Zealand which turned out to be my second favorite game so far.

Both Australia and New Zealand batted extremely well and bowled really horribly excluding a couple of bowlers like Phillips and Zampa.
