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?

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.

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.

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.

According to points table of Group C, New Zealand sqaud already eliminated from this Super Eight Round and this was decided in last match. But in yesterday match with Uganda squad, their performance was unbelievable and wonderful I know now this performance was useless. First New Zealand bowlers cleared out the wickets of Uganda batter very fastly and restrict them at low quality defeating target of total 40 scores. Just this batter Kenneth Waiswa was succeeded to collect above 10 plus scores (11) otherwise resting batters was lost their wickets just for fewer scores. Congrats New Zealand sqaud for this useless victory, in batting inning, 40 scores defeating target of Uganda sqaud was fastly achieved by New Zealand batter in 5.2 overs. Devon Conway displayed amazing performance with picking 22 scores and unbelievable shots. Some more matches were played today but most of them were finished without any outcome because of heavy rain.

Brother,  past is past , present is present and future is future. Pakistani team played very bad in this World cup and Now Pakistani team is out of the tournament. Pakistani players are not collaborating with each other. They are playing for only theirselves. If Pakistani team will play like that ,there will be no progress in future. And Pakistani team will be out of the tournament in nest World Cup in group stage but now Pakistani team has a time to learn from their mistakes. Otherwise,ther will be more disrespect and Pakistani fans will not watch the Pakistani team match and they will hate Pakistani team . Pakistani fans are loving and they are expecting good from their team but team disappointed them in this World Cup

I thought before and still think that West Indies are very strong team in T20 format. Especially since I watched the T20 World Cup final between West Indies and England, I became a complete fan of the T20 format. There was an all-rounder named Carlos Brathwaite in that match who hit four sixes in four balls in the last over to give West Indies the title. But this time he is not included in the team for the tournament, maybe there are more experienced and best West Indies team than him. The West Indies team has jointly organized the World Cup with the United States as hosts. The West Indies team may have participated in this World Cup as one of the favorites with the advantage of the home ground.

All the Afghanistan bowlers are currently in form. In the few matches they have faced so far against the opposition, their team's bowlers have played a major role in their victories. The fast bowlers of the Afghanistan team are also bowling well and the spin bowlers are also bowling well which in a word is a consistent performance. The understanding between all the players of the Afghanistan team is getting better in this World Cup due to which they have strengthened their position by playing well.

New Zealand batsmen were defeat by 13 runs.  If they had work hard and struggle and increase their pace the match would have been in their hands but their batsmen could not put in the effort and were play the match without interest so the match was bound to be lost.  West Indies are steadily increase their performance and try to win as many matches as possible and win matches too.  New Zealand are slowly lose their perform and losing matches.  Congratulations West Indies on the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.  What good is a strong team when the team does not work hard and struggle and that what happen with New Zealand.  I am also sad but also happy that a weak team like West Indies will win the match.New Zealand should not lose their perform but they should work hard and struggle.

From what I heard, ticket rates are almost the same for all the matches in New York, Texas and Florida. Obviously the India vs Pakistan match generated more revenues, since a record number of fans attended it (34,000). The lowest priced tickets were sold for $300, with the most expensive ones being sold for $10,000 (in black market the rates were much higher). On the other hand, the tickets for matches in West Indies were sold for as little as $10. It would be a good idea to make the US sole hosts next time.

Financially, may be a good decision but that specific fixture generates a fair amount of money anyway. Didn't some premium seats priced at $2k-$17k?

IDk much about coverage but they did read the scorelines and results like they do in baseball. We have to wait and see how it pans out but from a spectator's point of view, I didn't enjoy much and missed many matches.

This time, if the Pakistan team will not qualify for the Super 8s then they must have to play the qualifiers round in 2026 for the T20 World Cup but I have a question.

In 2016, when a T20 World Cup was played in India then on that time, the Pakistan team was also out at group stages but after that, there was no World Cup for the next 5 years, as in 2017, there was a Champions Trophy and in 2018 there was no World Cup and in 2019 a ODI World Cup took place while also no World Cup in 2020 but the question is in 2016, India went into the Semi-Final and lost to it, then in 2021, Pakistan made their place into the Semi-final while India has been out from the group stages.

In 2021, Pakistan went into the Semi-final while India was out of the group stages. After that in 2022, India played no qualified round because they were out from the last World Cup but then you say, they have done good performance in the 2016 World Cup, then if Pakistan did not qualify for the playoffs of 2022 Pakistan had to play this World Cup qualifies round but now when the Pakistan went into the last World Cup final and considered as runner up of 2022 so what if they gave bad performance in 2024 and have to play 2026 qualifies round. Why?

In short, India played one Semi-final and out the next World Cup group stages but they have not played qualified for the next but on the other side, a team that played one time Semi-final and one time final so why if the have to play qualify rounds if they would not qualify into the super 8s 

LOL.. if it was actually $50 million (from just one match), then the ICC will be hosting all of their major tournaments in the US. Attendance was around 34,000, and the gate collection was $15 million (which equates to around $440 per ticket). Given the fact that majority of the tickets were priced at $300, this number sounds reasonable. And there was a lot of coverage in the American media for the first time (especially after the Americans managed to defeat Pakistan). So overall, it turned out to be a bright decision from the part of the ICC to make US the co-hosts.

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.

Despite West Indies' batting disaster against New Zealand, Sherfane Rutherford gave New Zealand a target of 150 runs in responsible batting. The New Zealand team came down to bat with a target of 150 runs and lost one wicket after another and was under a lot of pressure. But no batsman can bat responsibly in New Zealand.  Due to which New Zealand lost Super 8 dream by 13 runs against West Indies. West Indies won by 13 runs against New Zealand.  And West Indies are at the top of the points table with 6 points.  At the same time West Indies team confirmed Super 8. On the other hand, Afghanistan team won two matches with excellent performance in two matches.  Afghanistan team has performed very well in two matches and they are at number two in the points table. It is expected that Afghanistan team like West Indies will confirm the Super 8.

I was listening to the "Club Prairie Fire" podcast and i guess Michael Vaughan mentioned that it was $50 Million, maybe i misheard, but even $15 Million is a lot for gate money.
