We now know who will play who in the knockout stage, India v New Zealand and Australia v England. India got the match they wanted as I don't think they wanted to play England again even though that match looked shady to me. Both semi-finals are going to be great to see, will we see the two teams that have never won a World Cup make the final in England and New Zealand? That is a possibility and would be nice to see a different team win for once.

How d you know as India do not wanted to play against England just because they have lost it to them. Also understand that in group stage the India vs NZ did not happened which means that India still have to be vary of this team as they have never met and not playing against them directly in semi final is never going to be easy.


What I know is the ground where England is playing their semi-final is their favourite game and they didn't lose many matches they played recently over there. That may be the reason India or any other team want to avoid playing against the home team to reduce their risks. But it all depends on how many points they get but luckily India has finished on top of the points table so they just avoided the home team but that doesn't mean the NZ is easy to go.

What do you mean by they not wanting to? India does not have a choice who they face its up to individual team to make get through the stages. Unless you are suggesting a match fixing angle.. this is cricket  after all and match fixing, especially matches that concern India are heavily gambled on.

That was another humiliating defeat for Sri Lanka on their last match. Meanwhile South Africa has put an impressive score against Australia and Australians seems to be struggling to chase that. If Australia to lose that, India would meet New Zealand in the semis. We'd be testing the abandoned match here. And New Zealand generally have been impressive against India.

With India winning by 7 wickets they are now on top of the chart and with remaining OZ vs SA will decide if India will be at No 1 or at No 2 spot in the chart. India played brilliantly and both the openers made century and this would boost their confidence for semi finals.


Today's match was one sided and was not interesting at all. I watch the second innings to see the last spell of Malinga as he will be retiring from international ODI. Although he bowled an expensive spell today but he took 1 wicket which made him at No 3 position for most wickets took in the world cup (56 Wickets).

India would like to play today match for the No 1 spot in the WC and then will depend upon how OZ plays against the SA. But would like to end the league matches with winning note and play the best of the cricket so that this will give them confidence before the Semi finals starts next week.
The semi spots are almost finalized, Australia will be facing New Zealand and England and India will be facing in the second semi finals, would be great if  New Zealand and England battle each other in the finals as both have not won the world cup till now and i would like to see them in the finals.
Indian bowlers are tearing up the SriLankan batting line up as they already lost 4 wickets and it is going to be a low scoring match and an easy win for India.

SL have lost few quick wickets but Matthews has helped SL to reach 222 for 5 and Matthews is batting at 100 runs. SL might be able to make around 280 if Matthews bat for another 2-3 overs else India would like to reduce them to 270 maximum.

Pakistan is near to win the match against Bangladesh. So the last match also is lossing By BD. But In this world Cup Shakib  proved himself. Actually  playing alone nobody  can win all match. Shakib is now like Messi on Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo on Portugal.   

I do not think it is realistic to compare Shakib with legends like Messi.  Messi and Ronaldo has won so many matches and tournaments for their teams.
Shakib although performed well, but haven't been able to make his team win . Roll Eyes

Well we now know the top four teams that will play in the semi-finals. Its just that the order could change depending on whether India win and Australia lose or both teams losing and staying where they are. Australia will most likely win their match as they haven't lost to SA in a World Cup match since 1992 and I expect India to also win their match so I think the top four will remain the same. Which ever team finishes top will face New Zealand so there is a lot on the line in these two final matches as I suspect India and Australia don't really want to play England so its going to be an interesting day.

Pakistan scoring a very low score against West Indies and losing the match is the one that has caused for a big win in today's match. If it has got a decent score in that match now it could've got increased chance to make it get into the semi finals as it doesn't require to score very big and win against Bangladesh with a big margin.
Pakistan match was not as I was expecting but I still not talk against because lose and win are part of life, I know they should have given their best as it lost a match against news land but I am sure in next world cup it will be good performance and we will win, right now we are praying to qualify for semi final just hope for the best.

It's too easy for Pak to win this match. Shakib every time can't do miracles for the team as the openers are now failing them always. Pak is out of semis now so winning this will put a good end to their innings.

Pakistan have won the game but it’s not enough and they’re officially out of the semifinal’s of the World Cup, I thought Bangladesh would cause an upset but they failed. Shakib had an extraordinary World Cup campaign, but other Bangladesh batsmen failed to offer him any support. As of now England and Australia are the favourites for winning the World Cup, and I’m planning to place a bet on Australia if they make it to finals what about you’ll?.

A glorious end of World Cup for Shakib just out with total 606 runs for him and now he is leading batsman but sadly in Bangla team no one give him good support so they are ending at No 7 even with very respectable statics.

606 runs from just 9 matches, and that too with a strike rate of 96.03. Mushfiqur Rahim was the second best Bangladeshi batsman, with 367 runs. But apart from these two, the other Bangladeshi batsmen failed completely. But their real problem was in the bowling department. Mustafizur Rahman was somewhat OK and the others were horrible. And the promising Soumya Sarkar was given an opportunity to bowl in just two matches.

And yet you can definitely say that clicked is also a very famous and popular game like football.  Not in vain in the match between England and New Zealand on the field ran a naked man, who grabbed the guard. Grin Cheesy  This is really a very piquant moment during one of the matches of the 2019 championship.

LOL.. Shakib for Bangladesh has become what Virat Kohli is for India. The problem is that cricket is a team sport and individual brilliance can't always win games. Unless he gets enough support from the rest of his team mates, Bangladesh will not be able to perform well in these type of tournaments. The world cup ends for both the Asian teams today.
