Since Pakistan had pretty low chance to progress further in tournament, I was expecting them to go guns blazing but they still played rather conservatively.

Both Ireland and Canada have no chance of qualifying for the Super Eight but between Pakistan and USA, the main competition will be which team will qualify. Pakistan has to win against Ireland and to win it must win by a huge margin which is very difficult for Pakistan. On the other hand, USA will have to lose along with India and Ireland and Pakistan will have a chance if they lose by a huge margin. But with USA far ahead in net run rate, every factor will be very difficult for Pakistan.

Currently, the Pakistan team is in such a situation that their reach to the Super Eight is ticking like clockwork. The bad situation of Pakistan team was created mainly when they lost the first match against USA. Then again they lost to India in their second match as well which became a bigger hurdle for them to reach the Super Eight. In the group in which Pakistan was placed, all the teams except India were weak, but unfortunately Pakistan lost first. Pakistan team has to face many equations to advance to the next round if none of all the equations then Pakistan's road to the next round will be blocked. But before the World Cup, Pakistan hosted a T20I series against Ireland where they won and if they can keep up their performance and beat Ireland by a big margin, there might be a chance for Pakistan.

Pakistan team doesn't need to think much and focus on the remaining games to win. The more they focus on calculations, the complicated it becomes for them.

Openers from Pakistan has a vital roles if their teams want to make an impact in the matches. Babar Azam and Muhmmad Rizwan were playing very good at yesterday's match but at the end, Babar Azam lost his wicket. However, he played very good according to the pitch condition in which this type of play is required which is like the ODI.
However, Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have done the hard running between the wickets and those running helped to the Pakistan team very much because they have goal to make at least six in an over, but also when a boundary hit then they both were consider to play the remaining over with  dot balls.

If the USA manages to lose the remaining 2 matches against India + Ireland and Pakistan wins against Ireland then Pakistan will qualify because those wins will improve their NRR. Similarly, USA NRR will take a hit as there is no big gap in their NRR.

Results aside, Pakistan vs Ireland and USA vs Ireland both will be played in Florida where rain is expected, so possible washout and Pakistan is done and dusted.

Yeah, the weather forecast is hardly encouraging for Pakistan but the USA and India won't mind that though.

Sri Lanka and England's fixtures also faced a complete washout and the former is technically eliminated. Poms are also staring at possible elimination and they are heavily dependent on other team's results.

India vs the Americans underway! What a start by Arshdeep. If they restrict USA under 100, this match will probably will finish within 15-16 overs. On the other hand, if they score above 100, it will probably end within 18 overs.

Pakistan is probably praying for India to decimate the Americans by a big margin which is totally possible at the moment.

India are heavily favorite despite the USA's brave campaign. I'm not expecting any upset tonight because it's not a knockout  and the Indian team only gets brain fade moments in the semis or finals. In group matches they just bully everyone. 

Well, makes complete sense, considering their position on the table.

The US wicket is so bad that any team can suffer an unexpected disaster at any time. USA have also been in a batting disaster, managing to score just 26 runs after eight overs at the moment and losing three of their wickets.
But if USA can be stopped before 80 runs and if India can finish the game before 10 overs then maybe Pakistan has a chance to become the second team to qualify for Super Eight.

[JSRAW]

It's not a bad effort from the USA, against bowlers like Bumrah they are faring well so far.

With 95 runs on the board and 4 overs to go, they should look to touch the 120 mark here and if got lucky then maybe cross it. In the end, we might witness a competitive match.

Yeah. They did as well as I expected and they are bowling really well, but I feel like India has this one in the bag unless they collapse all of a sudden. Both Sky and Dube are playing like it's a test which is understandable since it's a tough pitch to bat on.

Even if India win this one, it would be a narrow/comfortable win which would not affect USA's NRR in a big way. Pakistan should get ready to pack their bags soon.

The USA batsmen could have given a good target but their poor perform made the target easy and this is a disadvantage for Pakistan.  If America loses this match Pakistan is out of the qualifiy.  If the USA batsmen score good runs in the first 10 overs it could have been a tough target for India.  Can still build if their bowlers apply pressure.  But India need 62 runs from 56 balls to win the match and this target can be achieved.  America victory is very important for Pakistan.  The result will ultimately determine who will win the match and who won kr not.

Watched highlights of India vs USA, which were lackluster, looks like didn't miss anything by not watching it live.

Anyway, WI confirmed their place in super 8, Afghanistan winning against PNG in their upcoming match should confirm their place too. Disappointing performance from NZ to say the least.

Watching this India vs USA match live might have brought a lot of laughs because we never imagine such a game. In this T20 World Cup, a team like India has won it hard with USA. The run scorer may have thought this match that India would complete the target in 7/8 overs, but that match ended in 18.2 overs.

West Indies have secured their top position in the points table with a win over New Zealand today. But I feel very disappointed watching the game because every team does not have the feeling of watching the game with such a batting performance. New Zealand has been under a lot of disappointment in this T20 World Cup, and they look very weak, they have not won a match so far.

That was a surprising finish for me otherwise i thought that India would repeat the history to knock out Pakistan from the competition. They may still not be reaching the Super 8s, but this time they won't have the excuse that India ruled them out.

The history which I am talking about may not be known by many, so it is a brief recap of it.  In 2019 World Cup, India needed to beat England and if that had happened, Pakistan would have survived. The Indian team lost this match deliberately and it was talked about much on social media at that time.

In 2022 T20 World Cup, India had to beat South Africa in order to save Pakistan but they again lost with some other intentions. However this time, the Netherlands helped Pakistan because the Netherlands beat South Africa and Pakistan played in the final.

Australia may do something similar to England this time around by losing the match against Scotland or winning it narrowly, ofc we only know for sure when they do it, but potentiality is there.

Watch this Josh Hazlewood's press conference and jump to 5:55: https://youtu.be/IHAmlMmWrmA

In this tournament, potentially you come up against England at some stage again, plus they are one of top few teams on their day and Australia also had some real struggles against them in T20 cricket so if we can get'em out of tournament early, it's in best interest of ours as well everyone else's...

Though doing such things is against ICC's code of conduct 2.11 [1] and may backfire.

West Indies ended up winning narrowly against the Kiwis surprisingly thanks to which they qualified for the super 8 while New Zealand are pretty much out at this point. Crazy turn of events.

Bangladesh vs Netherlands ongoing in Arnos Vale Stadium which looks sick. Am expecting Bangladesh to win this one narrowly.

Hilarious conspiracy crap as usual. Some things never change.

In the match between India and USA, we saw a very poor batting performance from both the teams.Before the start of the match between the two teams, we had imagined that India would win but never imagined that they would win so slowly. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma came to open for India in the match against USA. Virat Kohli got out for no runs in that match which I found most surprising.In the end, Surya Kumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey batted in ODI style to give their team victory.

West Indies have secured their top position in the points table with a win over New Zealand today. But I feel very disappointed watching the game because every team does not have the feeling of watching the game with such a batting performance. New Zealand has been under a lot of disappointment in this T20 World Cup, and they look very weak, they have not won a match so far.

There is a lot of regret for New Zealand in this World Cup because despite being such a strong team, their dream of reaching the Super Eight may already be over. New Zealand lost their first match by 84 runs to Afghanistan and they lost to West Indies by 13 runs in their second match. So far they have not seen any victory.

Kiwis were supposed to be a stronger side in Group C and everyone thought they might cross the line with little to no opposition but how the mighty have fallen in just one week.

Not watching BAN vs NED (Watching IND vs ENG test series highlights  ) but keeping a tab on the scorecard.

Bangbros were going good till the 9th over and I thought they might put up around a 180-ish score on the board but the Dutch managed to restrict them below 160, which is a nice effort.

Yeah. I feel that 160 is a competitive score though as long as they regularly keep chipping away at their wickets which is what is currently happening. Vikramjit Singh is mounting a great comeback though.

This match will probably go right down to the wire with Bangladesh emerging victorious primarily thanks to more experience. Also, England vs Oman starting in a bit.

[JSRAW]

^^ Bangbros are bossing the game and I guess, it's fair to say they are through and potential candidate for the Super 8. It also means that Sri Lanka is eliminated from Group D.

Before the WC, Bangladesh were in shambles because they lost to USA and Zimbabwe but they kinda turned it around.

India always is a very strong team and their team also proved this in every match. The best playing match and showing great by Arshdeep Singh. The previous match they played were also Fanstaic same as this match. They should displayed excellent teamwork and skill on field. India played a really good match.  India celebrate their victory making a place  in the heart of their fans. I hope America will improve some mistakes and play better in the next match. Their recent performance have been outstanding India  and they continue to play exceptionally well in every match. India won match by 7 wickets with 10 balls. The 25th match between India and America played at the Nassau international cricket stadium.  India won the toss. India elected to batting first. The best bowling performance in the India man team was showing by Arshdeep Singh 4 over and conceded 9 balls took 4 wickets. Congratulations to India for their upcoming matches. India won by match 111 runs. America 110 runs and power match.

USA vs Ireland is getting delayed but guess what?

Hotstar freaking showing India vs Pakistan highlight and almost a million peeps (including me) are still tuned in, probably waiting for toss updates. So much wrong with broadcasting, I'd have preferred some interesting stories about the players (USA or Irish) or team analysis and strategies but nope.

Hilarious! Rain is playing spoilsport in USA vs Ireland match which is good news for Pakistan while it's bad news for the Americans who were probably focusing on comfortably winning this one.

So damn annoying whenever rain interrupts important matches like this one, India vs Pakistan etc.
