Nz have rattled India for 179 runs and taking full benefit of the pitch and with the pace and swing boult jolt the India hopes of even reaching 200 . It would be a good contest to see how much wickets can India take of Nz and can they restrain them to less than 179.
179 all out for India and its star studded batting line up.. Kinda unbelievable looking at a measly 174 in a 50 overs game while they were scoring 180+ most of the time during the IPL. Good news is that its just a warm up game. The results dont matter but could be used as a morale booster. Lets see how the Indian bowling lineup does defending the total. Only positive out of the innings was R.Jadeja and Kuldeep's partnership otherwise the total would have been probably below 140.
Indian batting line-up got rekt like shitcoins lol

All down and out but good thing Jadeja doing some good resistance with tail enders.Hiding face
Australia on target but they need some good score as England is full of energy and can achieve any target less then 350 runs

India has an extra ordinary batting line up.I think if Virat can be on from, He can win the world cup for india in single hand.
Australia is also a Very good dominant team, when the matter is about big tournament Australia always heads up.

Its too early to predict whether India, Australia or any other team will win. No one can win the world cup single handed, its a team effort always.
Instead of giving wild guesses, i think we should focus on match by match performances and then we are in a better position to conclude who has better chances of winning this world cup.

You think Sri Lanka has a chance today?
Chances are low, let's say 10%. Angelo batting right now and Parera is next if another wicket falls. Parera can be very dangerous and destructive but I think South African bowlers can tackle both of them because run rate keep going up.
Rabada and Lungi Ngidi got few overs and I just noticed that Chris Morris is also playing, Rabada and Chris Morris both are good death over bowlers so chances are they can defend this total.
Note : Selectors didn't preference the Chris Morris in World cup squad in start due to his injuries but looks like he's in Squad. strange didn't heard any buzz about this.

Could be tight if Afghanistan lose couple of wickets from here. as of now score is 201/4 and they need 62 runs in 69 balls.
Now they need 54 from 56 balls. They have 6 wickets in hand (I think 5 wickets actually coz the opener retired), so I do not think this will be any hard job for them as long as they do not lose any wicket. They do not have much pressure too. Afghanistan should win today. :-(Could be tight if Afghanistan lose couple of wickets from here. as of now score is 201/4 and they need 62 runs in 69 balls.

Srilanka going slowly, not sure if they can win. Angelo can do some magic if he gets going.

Yup, Actually its not Ashwin's fault as well. Finger- off spinners not doing well in International Cricket over all. Atm Wrist spinners dominating the 22 yard pitch ( shorter format)
Is there any good youtube channel broadcasting these warm-up matches? I'm sure that they're going to be very interesting, and I'd love to watch'em all!
Nope, was looking for one. didn't find any so end up watching in "Hotstar"

The way Afghanistan is moving I think today we will see another lose for Pakistan which will be a disaster for them for sure. Their bowling attack is really toothless now. What a shame.

Recently in England ( Pakistan vs England series), the average score was above 300+ . Pakistan did not bat well and able to make only 262 against Afghanistan which is alarming. I think Afghanistan being the weakest team in the tournament, Pakistan should restrict them and must not loss to Afghanistan.

@Royse777 you should easily win your first two bets where I’m favoring Pakistan to beat Afghanistan, though I expect Afghanistan will put up a strong fight. Srilanka vs South Africa is a straightforward match, and I feel South Africa will win it easily. The last match between India vs Newzealand is tricky, as this will be India’s first practice match after a long break, so I would not be comfortable on placing a bet on them or against them.
Afghanistan is putting up fight. Pakistan just lost another wicket and now they are 4 wickets down. 100 for 4 after 20.1 overs. The start was good but since Nabi and Rashid started to take strike Pakistan is losing wickets. Not sure how far they will go. They need to build a partnership.@Royse777 you should easily win your first two bets where I’m favoring Pakistan to beat Afghanistan, though I expect Afghanistan will put up a strong fight.

About India vs New Zealand match, I am too in doubt but I will hope India will win because they are better side in every aspect than New Zealand.

Did India have to choose between Jadeja and Ashwin and they chose the former one? I am missing Ashwin and felt he would stand a chance but he is not playing. Also, Raina has been long forgotten even though he's a good batsman and better than Shikhar. Shikhar did not perform well in the Australian series too except for one match. I miss the 2011 team that had better players than this team.
Jadeja and Ashwin comparison is not logical due to various reasons if we are eyeing on World Cup Squad.
1. Ashwin competition is not Jadeja but Spin duo Kuldeep and Chahal.
2. Ashwin's shorter format career is already finished if we are talking about his place in the Indian team. In a Test match, he's still a big asset for India.
Same With Sikhar and Raina.
1. One is opening Batsman and other is Middle order batsman.
2. Agree Raina didn't perform badly per se but he didn't perform exceptionally well according to his ability. he was a mediocre performer when he was given chance in England tour. as far as I remember his 30-35 runs inning didn't help Indian team's cause.
3. His competition was with Ambati Raydu and we all know even Raydu didn't make into the team due to Vijay Shankar.
Pretty well said. I think Ashwin hasn't been that poor in his stats but the latest trends of bringing in chinaman and google bowlers into side is what has brought Ashwin career's to end. With time every bowler needs to have some newer deliveries in his armory to ensure that Batsmen don't get prepared with their stock delivery. Ashwin continued with almost zero innovation in recent years which was the reason the "Kulcha" due got an edge who can spin the ball both way around pretty well. Moreover an unorthodox bowling style along with some good line and length ensured that Ashwin doesn't even remains a choice for the selectors

@royse guess warm up is in progress?
Yeah, it should be but there are no news about these warm up matches in cricinfo or any other website. @royse guess warm up is in progress?
By the way, I think West Indies, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, England, Pakistan already had some good practice from the recent series they played.
I think I noticed one news about Australia beating windes in warm up match. May be in my Twitter feed.

^Raina has been ignored by the team since 2015 and I felt IPL would make a change as not only his batting but his fielding is tremendous. Rayudu had a better chance as he has been pretty consistent but I feel Shankar was chosen based on his strike rate while getting run out twice this year hasn't been very impressive. Dhawan (reminds me of Sehwag) doesn't deserve the opening position as usually he is the first one losing his wicket compared to Rohit and hence he could fight for the 4th position like Raina and Rayudu. Virat deserves 2nd rather than 3rd.
If ipl is the criteria then Gautam gambhir is most unlucky batsman. Raina was drop by management due to bad performance but Gambhir, despite giving good performance drop by management due to politics. The very same guy won 2 ipl trophy with his captaincy - batting and who can forget his match winning performance in both world cup finals ( 50 over and 20-20).I like suresh Raina as a person and highly rate as a cricketer but his performance went down the hill in recent times.
Sikhar dhawan comes no where close to sehwag as a batsman. I have already said this couple of times but repeating again, I am yet to see any batsman in this Era who can bat like sehwag in red ball cricket.
Right now Indian team don't have any choice because Indian openers Rohit and Dhawan are lethal combination and best in business. Despite dhawan's mistakes. (he's new ball batsman and can't play in middle order at all)
If you ask me then i will always book 3rd spot for Virat because it's very important place to bat on. every team wants their best batsmen to bat on this number.
