Brathwaite playing an incredible innings now and he is taking West Indies closer to victory with his big hits and if he can take them home it will be an incredible win, just one wicket more for New Zealand to win, i never expected this turnaround from Brathwaite who is trying to replicate his T20 exploits he did a few years back to win the tournament and if he is able to pull this off, it will be the greatest innings in cricket history.

I just saw last 3 overs of Afghanistan vs India match... It's impressive that Afghanistan gave a hard fight against one of the world's strongest team.
I felt that India heavily underestimated Afghanistan and didn't study about them, whereas Afghanistan studied about India team very well.
India maybe had a strong mindset that "we will win the match against AFG as easy as 1.2.3"... anyway, it was a good match.

That's a big match for Afghanistan, till the end of the match there is full of excitement and heart pumping about the result. Till the start of the final over the winning percentage of India was found 79% while Afghanistan has got 21%. On the final over Sami took away the wickets, and if Nabi wasn't caught out the match result could've turned on the side of Afghanistan. It's a big experience for Afghanistan.
224 for 8. I knew they wouldn't score 250 runs today and looks like they are not in their best form today. Everyone looked so low and after Kohli got out, I just lost hope.
I have said this many times before, but I don't think that Dhoni is suitable for one-day cricket anymore. He scored 28 runs from 52 balls, with a strike rate of 53. And remember that He was batting from overs 30 to 44. It could have been much better for India, had they sent either Kedar Jadhav or Hardik Pandya ahead of Dhoni. MSD just wasted a lot many balls.
Dhoni presence is very vital in Indian team. He is a great keeper and a good hitter. He can play slowly also according to the situations and we cannot call him only a slogger. Being a former captain, he is helping Virat in many decisions and India feels strong in his presence.
Eliminating Dhoni will never be a good sensible plan and India should never do that.

So what? They have a strong bowling strategy and I'm pretty sure the match is still in their hands.

Could that be a part of his strategy? I don't really understand how they managed to score that low. Maybe don't want to go all in for low ended matches like this one?

India off to steady start after losing 3 quick wickets and winning the toss and decided to bat. Kohli is batting on 60 and if he stays on the wicket for next 10 overs India would be able to post big total else it would feel the pressure to score big scores.
Big trouble for India. Kohli has fallen and now MSD and Jadhav at crease. I have a bad feeling right now. No one had predicted a Sri Lakan victory against England yesterday, and yet they won. An Afghan win against India is even more unlikely. But what if an upset happens? In case that occurs, it is going to be huge for Afghanistan. Their best moment in international cricket till now.

I think England didn't gave 100% in to this match. Perhaps they thought that they had enough points on board to advance to the semi-finals. And after they got Sri Lanka out for a small score, they became even more relaxed. Only after they lost 6-7 wickets, the Brits realized that there is a chance of them losing this match, and along with it 2 points.
Shocked that England lost this match. It was still looking possible for England after they lost Root but after Butler, the team just kept losing wickets. Awesome match in WC where we can see than a team can even defend a low score like 232 whereas other teams struggle in defending 300+ scores. I still don't see SL in top 4 but now anything is possible.
The problem is, they took the score too lightly. They thought it's an easy target given their previous performances. It was actually an easy target but not when the opposite team has Malinga as a bowler. It was a good match regardless.That is really unfortunate for the English team and the gamblers. I was too sure for England to win that I placed a bet on 1.09 odds. That's really stupid thing to do.
The odds on Sri Lanka were well above 20, anyone who have placed a bet on Sri Lanka are now rich.
England had only 1.09 odds? That shows the match wasn't going to be an easy win for either of the teams. The odds on Sri Lanka were well above 20, anyone who have placed a bet on Sri Lanka are now rich.

I am also shocked by todays match. I did not think that in this world cup england will lost any match Against Sri Lanka according to previously performance. Lastly Ben stocks tried alone to and straggle to win the match. But unfortunately the other bats man was cought behind. Now England is going to difficult by losing this match because rest of the match will Against strong strong team.

No one expected England to go down against Sri Lanka, and that too after restricting them to just 232. Perhaps they took their opponents too lightly and in the end it cost them the match. But this defeat is not going to do any damage for them as far as points are concerned. England still has 8 points from 6 matches and they are on the 3rd position. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh still needs miracles to enter the semi-final stage.
Wow what a match playing by Sri Lanka today. The first innings score was SL 232/9 (50.0 Ovs). I thought England will chase this score easily .But what is happening now.England already lost 8 wickets and score is ENG183/8 (42.2 Ovs)
England need 50 runs in 46 balls. So there is a chance to take the rest two wicket before touching the target . Lets see what will happen.
edit: wow another wicket gone. ENG 186/9 (43.4)
Edit: And gone the last wicket also. What a miracle today in this match. Sri Lanka won by 20 runs where the target was only 232 runs.

SL outplayed the England and this was just unexpected and due to Malinga it could have happened and thus SL would just be relieved that they have beaten one of the best side in the World Cup and defending such low score itself is a biggest achievement.

Maybe by the falling years if Bangladesh has the same players, we can see Bangladesh to be a strong team competing with the top teams. Australia being one of the top team scoring 381 and Bangladesh chasing the score reaching 333 is really a good cricket from Bangladesh. Also the previous match from Bangladesh too is very interesting to watch the chase.
Bangladesh did play a splendid innings and managed to score over 300 against the Australian bowling attack. If Bangladesh can show the same performance in rest of their, as they have shown in last two matches, i am hopeful that they might do an upset in the world cup by finishing 4th in the overall standings of the teams.
