Today the Indian cricket team will face Bangladesh in their second match i.e. their second match of the Super Eight. Maybe the Indian team has more chances in today's match as well. If the Indians win today's match, they will go one step further to reach the Super Four. Indian cricket team will try their best to win today's match as their opponent today is weak Bangladesh.

By the way, Shakib Al Hasan is doing well but he cannot defend score but still he is a good option for the team of Bangladesh. I think they have to give him a chance to do one more over then it will be great because if he puts pressure onto the Indian team then it will help to the Bangladesh team later and their pacers too to continue to it towards the right direction.
Also, they have to pick Indian team wickets as fast as they can because they have very good batting line up so to out their most important batsmen into the start can be good to put pressure too and not allow them to create partnerships.

England International T20 cricket team won the match by eight wickets. Phil Salt was awarded as player of the match because he performed very well and made 87 runs in just 47 balls . He is a legendary player and he played Odin in this match against a West Indian team which is in full form. England team will qualify for Semi final easily because it is best team for semi final and the combination of England team is top class , nobody can ignore England team in semi final. England team has capability to win the World Cup . Jos buttler is best player and I liked him very much and he play well in next match and he is match winner and he is player of big match.Jos Buttler can bend any match to it's side because he is hard hitter and he can hit long sixes.

Today also, England is playing superb and hope that they may win this match too against South African nation.
At this time, when the match between England and South African team is in progress and we are seeing not good performance by the South African team batsmen… But after doing struggle, they made 160 plus score which is good too but I think the team of England can chase it because they have a strong middle-order, but it would be more stronger if Ben Stokes play there but he took a break from this World Cup, otherwise their middle order will be even more strong, but it is good. Let’s see how good they start the match and will their opener made good runs.

By the way England captain today win the toss and field first. Do you think this was the right decision  Huh


Yes England made a wrong decision to take first bowling inning by winning toss task and this was the second of England squad in this super Eight competition and first match their sqaud got a victory but in second match with South Africa strong sqaud their sqaud faced a defeat with very narrow margin of scores just 7. Biggest lost when these two batters was used out from crease Harry Brook And Liam Livingstone after clearing main earlier batter like Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow. Jos Buttler is a power hitting batter of England and his performance in previous matches was very competitive and England squad has many hope from this batter but he just collected 17 scores in second match and same matter happen to Phil Salt batter, He also achieved just 11 scores or these batter put some more hard work and collected more scores like 30 to 40 so this victory was so simple for England squad to achieve. South Africa's Defeating target was not too much hard to achieve and not very challenging but South Africa bowlers successfully defended their target and got a second successfully victory and increased their chance and points in standing table.

Yesterday, India won the match by 47 runs and break the batter of Afghanistan team to chase it. India man team very talented and have a famous tag in cricket world. Their  recent performance have been outstanding and they continue to play exceptionally well in every match. India is my favourite team. India won the toss. India play each  match with integrity. India batting first. Rashid Khan is a very powerful man for Afghanistan team and his bowling line was very good. Suryakumar Yadav is very talented boy with India man team. India total made runs 181 runs and won math with Afghanistan total chased 134 runs and lost the match. I expected more but The bad match performance in Afghanistan man team was by Rashid Khan scored 2 runs and 6 balls hitting 0 fours and 0 sixs. The best batting performance in the India man team was by suryakumar Yadav, he scored 53 runs and 28 balls hitting 5 fours and 3 sixs. This 43rd match between India and Afghanistan was played at Kensington oval stadium. I hope Afghanistan they will play better in the next match.
Yes in that match between India and Afghanistan India beat Afghanistan by 47 runs which was their first Super Eight match. In that match we witnessed the Indians batting first and amassing 181 runs for eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs which is quite a fighting collection in T20 cricket. However, the batsmen of the Afghanistan team came under a lot of pressure to collect these runs due to which they lost the match and were all out for just 134 runs.

Today the Indian cricket team will face Bangladesh in their second match i.e. their second match of the Super Eight. Maybe the Indian team has more chances in today's match as well. If the Indians win today's match, they will go one step further to reach the Super Four. Indian cricket team will try their best to win today's match as their opponent today is weak Bangladesh.

Anyone enjoyed the great game between West Indies and Afghanistan. I enjoyed this game and when the West Indies team was batting I felt like I was watching the highlight from Nicholas Pooran. Nicholas Pooran threw his all into the batting against Afghanistan but unfortunately fell short of his century by just two runs.
Afghanistan team has shown their bowling power in previous few matches but they could not do that against West Indies. The batsmen of the West Indies team batted over the bowlers of the Afghanistan team and scored more than 200 runs.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, were bowled out for just 114 runs against West Indies, their biggest upset and biggest defeat in this World Cup. Afghanistan's opening batsman Rahman Rahmanullah Groupbaz and middle-order batsman Najibullah Zadran were both dismissed for no runs. Due to such poor batting by these two, Afghanistan was forced to lose by more runs.
Yes, I have enjoyed the match very much. I think Afghanistan make the first mistake is winning the toss and decided to bowl first. Afghanistan bowlers didn't control the flow of runs and west indies batters especially Nicholas Pooran played really well he scored 36 runs in the 4th over of the match to Azmatullah Omarzai and runs started very fast for West Indies. Rashid khan Afghanistan captain didn't bowel well in this match considering too much runs 45 runs and didn't pick any wickets in his Bowling spell. Azmatullah Omarzai taking revenge by Nicholas Pooran run out at a score of 98 runs so close to a well-deserved Century. Afghanistan didn't start well of the batting innings giving easy wickets to Gudakesh Motie. I Think Now West Indies is the favorite team to win the World Cup this year.
West Indian team is most dangerous team of the World when it is in the form. I could not forget the T20 World Cup final of 2016 . West Indian Cricket team performance was excellent and West Indian team won the World Cup final against England team . Carlos Brathwaite  hit four sixes back to back in last over when team needed 4 sixes . That is my favorite match and I saw live match ball to ball. The point is when West Indian team is in form ,no team is dangerous than West Indies and when it is out of form ,it can lose the match against Zimbabwe and Ireland and Bangladesh team . Now, West Indian team is looking with full potential and they will win the World Cup.
Maybe the West Indies team is as strong as before in this year's T20 World Cup. Note that all the West Indies team is in a great rhythm at the moment and they are performing well wherever they are batting. Especially their team's wicket keeper batsman Nicholas Pooran has been playing brilliantly and he has been giving his impeccable batting performance in every match.
West Indies cricket team will face another strong test today against them in the second match of Super Eight today against another strong team England. West Indies won their second T20 World Cup by defeating England in the final. We will wait to see if the continuity of the West Indies team will be maintained today.
West Indies are definitely the strongest team in this season of T20 World Cup. West Indies will do even better as this World Cup tournament is being held in their home country. As the host country, the Caribbean will certainly want to take advantage of the conditions. Not only will they do well in their home country but they have included players in their squad who can single-handedly take the entire team forward. If West Indies don't make big mistakes in important matches and if they can play their normal game then definitely West Indies can play final in this World Cup tournament. West Indies beat England to win the historic World Cup trophy which we still remember and expect something similar in this T20 World Cup.

Gibraltar women managed to become the champions in Women Central Europe Cup, 2024. A total of 3 teams participated in the tournament. Apart from Gibraltar, Czechia and Croatia were the other two teams. The good thing was that all the teams were dominated by native players (unlike the case with men's cricket in these countries). Czech Republic Women were captained by 16-year old Tereza Kolcunova, who managed to score a half-century in the match against Croatia women.

Idk what to make out of such stories.

He was good enough to represent one of the toughest test sides in the world and when retirement time came, he switched. Good for Italy, they might learn a thing or two from him and hope in the process they improve their ranking.

Had Scotland qualified for Super8 in this year's T20 world cup (they came really close in doing that), then there was a good chance that Italy could have qualified for the next ICC T20 World Cup. But now they need to compete with both Netherlands and Scotland for the 2 spots from Europe region and there is only a small chance that they will be able to finish at top-2. Anyway, one thing that I liked about Italy is that 80% of the squad is comprised of native Italians, unlike the case with most of the other European associates.

New Zealand's journey in the tournament has come to a disappointing end as they failed to secure a position in the Super 8. Their low performance and inability to play with responsibility led to defeats against both the West Indies and Afghanistan. As a result, New Zealand has been eliminated from the tournament. On the other hand, the England team has made a strong comeback, securing their place in the Super 8 with a much-improved performance.
I am very disappointed because both of my favorite teams are out of the tournament,one is Pakistan and second is New Zealand. New Zealand team is very hard working and they have capacity to win against any team but they are out of the tournament due to bad performance and small amount of bad luck. New Zealand didn't hurt me like Pakistani team because Pakistani team lose the match against USA in super over ,the match was in the control of Pakistan but some mistakes emitted Pakistani team out of the tournament. In the match against India, Pakistani team could win the match easily but no batter played with responsibility and Now Pakistani team is out of the tournament because one match draw again Canada.
In cricket, every team's performance is not always the same. The New Zealand team is one of the very strong teams but their recent performances have not caught much attention. The newcomers in this team have yet to find their rhythm. Moreover, it was possible to predict the condition of the New Zealand team from long ago that they would not do well but I did not imagine that they would be eliminated from the World Cup earlier. Although I didn't expect Pakistan but I expected better from New Zealand team but it didn't happen. The two strong teams of cricket dropped now, can any of the smaller teams take that place?
That is not possible. Pakistani Cricket board will shuffle the batsmans and bowlers and we will see a huge change in the performance of Pakistani team . I Know Pakistani team played very bad I last 2 to 3 months . They lost two series and then they lost the position in super 8. I think, Pakistani team can improve their performance and they will focus on their mistakes and they will emit it . Imad Wasim admitted his mistake against India when he didn't hit and only made 2 runs in the over. Then Imad Wasim out and Pakistani team lose the match due to great bowling of Bumrah. I think New Zealand team is hard working team and they will and they will improve and no new team take the position of both teams ,Pakistan and New Zealand.
The way the West Indies batsmen batted against Afghanistan did not tell whether it was an international Twenty20 match or a franchise tournament match. West Indies are their group champions and they have secured the next round with 100 per cent win in four matches. Since West Indies have multiple batsmen, any one player can change the outcome of any match. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Australia and West Indies qualify for the World Cup finals as the performances of these two teams would suggest so. Maybe many may say that India announced a strong XI then why can't they qualify for the finals. The point here is that there is a lot of difference between Indian conditions and West Indies conditions and West Indies will definitely do better than India in their home conditions.

Does any one remember Joe Burns? He played a total of 23 test matches for Australia, with the last match occurring in 2020. Now he has decided to represent Italy (Burns recently became an Italian citizen, as his grandfather was born in that country). In the final of European Qualifier A, he managed to hit 108 not out from just 55 balls, as Italy made a massive total of 244/4. They won the match by 160 runs against Romania. It needs to be seen whether Italy will qualify or not, as they need to finish among top-2 in the regional final.

You are right,  but we can't give the credit to one or two players because when team wins the match whole team is appreciated and whole team wins due to whole team. No single can win to the game or tournament and I think, in the last match Afghanistan, whole team played very bad especially all bowlers because Afghanistan team strength is bowling and they could not win the match due to their batting. We saw a huge pump in the Afghanistan cricket due to great bowling. Five years ago , Afghanistan team were silent and nobody wanted to talk about Afghanistan team because they are mental players and they are hitters but cricket is a game of mind and that is not game of strength but that is game of technique.

^^ Windies might be the favorite in this edition of WC due to home advantage and power hitting but we shouldn't forget that this is the same Windies team with more or less the same outfit, that failed to qualify in the Last T-20 WC and ODI WC.

They only qualified for this T-20 WC because they are the co host. Considering everything, if they win the WC, it'd be an inspiring story within Caribbean cricket and some soul searching moment for other teams (Barring ENG and AUS).

Since the beginning of the World Cup, we have discussed that West Indies could be the favorite as the host nation in this World Cup tournament. West Indies have multiple performers so if a reliable player is out, then all the other players do well. New Zealand had West Indies in their group Naturally we thought that New Zealand would be the group champions from this group and West Indies would secure the next round from the second position but look at the reality. New Zealand exited the group stage before the West Indies qualified for the quarter-finals. 

We didn't give much importance to Afghanistan before the start of the World Cup tournament but this Afghanistan now has a good enough position in the points table.

I agree that West Indies looked like a dangerous side at the very start of the tournament. Every player in the WI batting lineup is a match-winner, and we have seen it many times in T20 cricket. Rutherford single-handedly took the game away for NZ. New Zealand was very much in the game, but they lost back-to-back wickets and the match. New Zealand should have won against WI to make things more interesting.

The Afghanistan team surprised me the most in this year's T20 World Cup. They looked like a different team and won comprehensively against New Zealand. No one was expecting that Afghanistan would be the team which qualifies for the Super 8 from this group.
If it was ODI cricket then I wouldn't have considered West Indies as favourites, because in ODI games you usually don't bat against the batter, you have to be patient and stay on the wicket till 50. But since it is only a 120-ball game, a West Indies player can change any game in an instant. West Indies have included some veteran players in their squad which has added to the strength of their team. This team is a balanced team as it has good quality bowlers good quality batsmen and most of the time great fielding saves several runs which is a big advantage for the team. West Indies will be one of the favorites to win the World Cup trophy.
