Since you say that there is possibility that ICC match fixed this Pak vs USA match to promote cricket in USA, and it definitely seems to have worked looking at social media. /s

The match between Pakistan and USA was for me a prediction in Pakistan's favor and I was sure that Pakistan might win this match easily.  But it is hard to accept that a team like Pakistan will lose like this to a weak category team like USA. Pakistan under pressure at the beginning could not adjust themselves throughout the match and therefore batting under pressure could not take the score above 159 runs. In particular, Babar Azam scored 44 runs in the match, but in that case he faced 43 balls, which would not be wrong even in an ODI style. Pakistan could not create any kind of pressure in the match as a result of which the match was drawn early in the scheduled 20 overs, then the match was dramatically won by the USA in the Super Over. I noticed today for the first time that Pakistan's Mohammad Amir faced a bad over, especially giving away an extra seven or eight runs in a super over. I will never accept that it will be by Pakistani bowler Mohammad Amir. Moreover, according to USA, a team scoring 18 runs in a super over is also a shameful situation for Pakistan. Should I then assume that Pakistan cricket is in a decade of decline?

And I had a predict and I was not in favor of Pakistan win and my predict was proved.  And Pakistan lost the match badly.  The condition of Pakistan this year is looking very bad.  Neither their women perform is good nor theirs.  They should emphasize their performance.  The target given by Pakistan was neither that easy nor that difficult.  But in the end the match was not pressure by their bowler.  And the target was tied and the win would go to the super over.  And Pakistan got a target of 17 runs.  But Pakistan could not complete this run and lost the match.   Babar Azam also did not make any kind of effort and struggle he just continue to play for 43 balls and scored 44 runs.  And I would say the worst performance was by Babar Azam.  And Mohammad Azam also got out on the first ball.  His performance was not good by any means.  But the target had become a little better but his bowler could not control it either.

Congratulations USA for winning second consecutive game in his maiden t20 World cup the scores were level of both teams then super over decided who will be winner. USA made 19 runs in super over these 19 runs made by only running except 1 four Muhammad amir gave 7 extra runs in super over which which costs pakistan a lot. Iftikhar and fakhar face USA bowling in super over but iftikhar gone on 4 runs of 3 balls which created pressure then shadab khan failed to make 15 runs on last 3 balls USA team won the match by 6 runs in super over. this is their second win in Dallas its a major upset for Pakistan team to lost a 18 ranked team who is playing their maiden t20 world cup and the USA has won two out of their two matches till now. The USA has created history after beating Pakistan.

Yes, USA team beat Pakistan in 11 th game of ICC Men World cup and this game was my favourite game of all other games because of very enjoyable. Pakistan team set 159 runs target in 20 overs but I feel that the target was made by Pakistan was slightly small and low scoring runs. I think target could be 180 to 200 runs according to their team players in bat. But their bowler did not bowled very well in game first they drew this game by scoring 159 runs and in Super over, M Amir bowled many wide and gave extra runs to USA and USA won this game in super over with 5 runs. In bowling lineup, S Afridi bowled total 4 overs but did not took any wicket and gave 33 runs his effort was also very poor. Other H.Rauf also showed very worst struggle I did not expect this effort from Pakistan's bowlers. Before this game, I think that Pakistan vs India game will be very exciting and wonderful but in this game, my thoughts about Pakistan team and now I think this will also perform like this in future game with India.

Damn it! Another prediction went up in flames thanks to Ireland playing like crap while chasing a mediocre target against Canada who were decimated by the Americans in their previous encounter.

They wouldn't have even gotten close if it wasn't for Adair towards the end who shined with both bat and ball in this match.

[JSRAW]

Ireland vs Canada! The Irish should win this one despite their recent loss against India if you ask me.

One day they will get spanked by unknowns and the next day they'll beat the shit out of, a comparably stronger team with ease.  They are quite famous for pulling out their Vintage Pakistani stuff out of nowhere.

Agreed. I was stunned to see USA comfortably defeat Pakistan. Their bowling and fielding were absolutely atrocious especially in the super over. Kudos to America for never giving up until the end.

Also, great stuff surpassing me and reaching the first position in the leaderboard.

In contrast, I've noticed that USA has quality fielders and you'll find at least 3-4 good athletes patrolling on boundaries or even 30 yard circle, it's true for a fair amount of low ranking teams like Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland etc .

Subcontinent teams could learn a thing or two. India are much better positioned as far as fielding is concerned, the likes of Virat, Jadeja, Sanju, Pant, Hardik, and Dubey are incredible. Even Rohit with his Vada pav personality is quite safe. 

[Alone055]

It's hard to believe what's happening in the Group Stage this time around. First Pakistan lost to the USA and then Afghanistan thrashed New Zealand. Sri Lanka lost to Bangladesh as well but that wasn't completely unexpected considering the performances of Sri Lanka in recent times, but man, there are a lot of surprises in this World Cup, I must say.

Teams that used to be considered minnows before the World Cup are thrashing top teams all of a sudden, fans of the losing sides are devastated after seeing this and are losing interest in watching their teams play because they seem to have no hope after what they have witnessed.

P.S.: It's good to be in the first position on the leaderboard at Superbru.

In the match that Pakistan lost against USA I would blame the Pakistan team's batting and bowling line in that match.Despite Pakistan being so experienced, they put up such a poor batting performance and bowling performance against the USA that was beyond anyone's imagination. Look at the performance of the Pakistan team batsmen in this match, none of the batsmen could score a half century and Azam Khan got out by hitting a golden duck despite giving him a chance. Apart from Babar Azam and Sadhav Khan, none of the batsmen in the Pakistan team could reach the three-figure mark. Pakistan team has done the bad bowling performance as well as the batting performance. Despite having experienced bowlers like Mohammad Amir Shahensha Afridi Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, the Pakistan team was defeated by the USA team.

The performance of the Ireland team was very poor as they failed to chase down the small one run target. Such a performance will never be compared to the stronger teams, but despite keeping the wicket at the last minute, Ireland lost because of the laziness of the attacking and opening batsmen.

[Haunebu]

What the heck is going on in this T20 World Cup? Never expected USA to defeat Pakistan, but seeing Afghanistan thrash the Kiwis just blew my mind. Ireland losing comfortably against Canada was another surprise.

Also, Bangladesh did really well defeating Sri Lanka despite some nerve wracking moments. Crazy entertaining tournament!

P.S.: It's good to be in the first position on the leaderboard at Superbru. 

Yeah. I know how that feels.

[JSRAW]

NGL this WC schedule makes it very hard to follow any match and they fixed 4 matches today, blame the timezone I guess.

Considering they are going with Non Suncontinent matches according to the subcontinent prime time slot, I thought they would at least do the same for SL vs BAN. Over the years these 2 teams developed a spicy rivalry and provided tons of entertainment to neutrals. Pretty Bummed up that I missed the thriller.

You read my mind perfectly. I was stunned to see 4 matches today and I thought 2 matches per day are tough to follow. ICC were probably high as hell when they prepared this congested schedule.

Also, I have no freaking idea why they didn't allocate the primetime slot to the Australia vs England match instead of SA vs Netherlands.

You cannot be sure if that match was fixed or not because Pakistan has the habit for unpredictability so even if the match was fixed, everyone will keep the focus on that they are unpredictable and can perform worse against any team on any day. 

I think the result of todays match will tell us the exact story as of what is going on. If Pakistan loses today (they are out of the competition) and it will proof that the match with USA was not fixed.
However, if Pakistan won today's match, this would mean Pakistan will remain in the competition, India may meet Pakistan again in the next stage of the competition and then India will trash Pakistan later (making it a perfect scenario for the ICC) 

India, with the form they are in, they could not lose today, if they loses, then you can understand whats going on

Yeah, I dislike the schedule too, they could have run tournament bit longer with 2 matches max a day. People who are passionate will watch the match anyway, irrespective of the time of broadcast. This hectic schedule also makes matches harder to discuss, and some low tier matches get completely overshadowed by hyped clash of the day, as in Australia vs England yesterday and India vs Pakistan today.

Seriously there are too many matches going on at the same time making it difficult to follow every one of them. Nevertheless, it is not because of the time zone but there are a lot of teams participating in this T20 World Cup and therefore to cope with all matches, there has to be a rush of matches. Seeing at the schedule it seems we are not having a Cricket T20 World Cup but a Fifa World Cup with so many teams  


West Indies had their another big win against Uganda where they won by 134 runs. Uganda were all out at 39 runs making it a big win for West Indies. In this group C, West Indies and Afghanistan are looking so strong that there seems to be no chance for the New Zealand team

If it was some high profile test series then I'd have tuned in even during ungodly hours but it's too much effort for some random T-20 match despite getting a T-20 WC tag. 

But anyway, at least they got the Ind vs Pak schedule right for obvious reasons. Hope it's paisa vasool contest for everyone.

The performance of the Ireland team was very poor as they failed to chase down the small one run target. Such a performance will never be compared to the stronger teams, but despite keeping the wicket at the last minute, Ireland lost because of the laziness of the attacking and opening batsmen.

Correct brother, this was the 2 nd lost of Ireland team in this series and first game was lost by India team and 2 nd game was lost to Canada team recently. Ireland team batsman played very slow lineup and did not chase normal target which was set by Canada team. Canada team set 137 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. N.Kirton showed best effort in game by scoring 49 runs in 35 runs with hitting three 4s and two 6s. S.Movva also played brilliantly with making 37 runs both made good combination. But other side, Ireland team did not perform very well like in Pakistan series. A.Balbirnie again failed to show good struggle and in past game he also batted very poorly. Ireland team only made 125 runs and lost game by 12 runs and this runs did not chase and showed laziness and their attackers also very slow.

[Haunebu]

Out of all the matches, rain had to mess with probably the most exciting match of the entire tournament. Damn it! I feel like this entire match could get washed out if rain keeps interfering again and again.

Great start by India so far and it looks like the pitch is batting friendly this time around with less bounce which is why I feel that 160-170 is a par score.

At one point India were 88-3, 160 seemed easily doable and I was expecting them to end the innings with around 180 with some finishing touches, but then a proper collapse and now India is at 112-9, lol.

[JSRAW]

Okay well it's clear that our batters fucked up big time despite Pakistan being too generous to them at least in first 7-8 over with their fields and call it luck for Indians.

But after that they did make it out with quick wickets though, having said that Pant, SKY, Dube, Jadeja all got out to normal balls, it wasn't wicket ball IMO but the scoreboard suggests otherwise.

90-10 in favor of Pak and they should win this one comfortably unless they pull another vintage Pakistani stuff.

137-ish was the predicted score at this pitch from the start.

[Haunebu]

Yeah. That seems accurate since Rizwan is manouvering the chase like a boss even though everyone else around are collapsing. If India get Rizwan soon, the tables could turn like crazy.

Am expecting Bumrah or Siraj to remove him since they are on fire in this match. Very entertaining match!
