The West Indies team is definitely strong for the T20 format and they are performing strongly in the T20 World Cup this time. However, the batting line and bowling line of the New Zealand team is also strong.  But they are unfortunately not able to prove that in this 2024 T20 World Cup. A string of poor performances have them bottoming out in the points table. But I am really disappointed with the performance of New Zealand because New Zealand team is a strong team but they are not able to prove themselves in this World Cup. Due to which New Zealand lost the match against West Indies only because of their batting weakness. But today against Uganda New Zealand team bowling line is very strong due to which New Zealand bowled out Uganda for just 40 runs. The New Zealand team easily won the target of 41 runs given by Uganda.

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.

Not this team did not play seriously and did not perform good in this series but also one other team Pakistan also do same thing in this series and due to this, their is disqualify recently by abandoned of this game Ireland vs USA. New Zealand team also disqualify when they lost past game which was played with West Indies team. West indies team effort in series was excellent and commendable by winning all games. In west indies vs New Zealand team game, West indies set 149 runs target which looks not big and tough target for strong and one of best in world New Zealand team. But in low batting effort, New Zealand team lost this game by 13 runs. In last some overs, New Zealand batsman played slow lineup and did not grab high runs lost quick wickets. G.Phillips played good and scored 40 runs but batsman like Kane did not batted well and made only 1 run. D.Conway also showed very poor effort in batting line and made only 5 runs. Unfortunately both Pakistan and New Zealand did not qualify for ICC Men T20 World cup.

In England vs Oman team, England is a strong team known for their Oman powerful performance on the field. They have consistently shown their ability to score well and secure victories in match but their chances are very slim to reach on Super matches but Their team skill and determination are very brilliant in this match against Oman and got smooth victory . The team Oman need to work hard and play with dedication in oder to win. I would congratulations to England this time because their team progress was very good and playing amazing. Adil Rashid and jofra Archer very talented playera from England side which which led to England wining match. The 28th match between England and Oman was held at the sir Vivian Richard stadium. England won the toss with England elected to batting first. England made 50 runs and all runs were successfully chased and won the match. Oman gave 47 runs target in T20 game and lost the match. The best batting performance in the England man team was by Jos butter 24 runs and 8 balls hitting 4 fours and 1 sixs. Congratulations to England for their upcoming matches. The bad batting effort in the Oman man team was by mehran Khan 0 runs and 2 balls hitting 0 fours and 0 sixs.

The New Zealand team is definitely strong for the T20 format but they are not able to prove it through their performance in the T20 World Cup. The way the New Zealand team is performing, I am disappointed to see their batting performance, of course we did not expect this from the New Zealand team. However, the ODI World Cup was as good as New Zealand's but the T20 World Cup was a failed mission for them. If the New Zealand batsmen could have batted responsibly against the West Indies, New Zealand would have had a chance to win against the West Indies. I would definitely blame their poor batting as the reason for New Zealand's loss, they must bat responsibly. In the T20 World Cup, the big teams are not performing very well, but the United States and Scotland are performing fairly well. Like on one hand I am disappointed with New Zealand's performance and on the other hand Pakistan's batting line also disappointed me.

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 

Poor batting and poor decision from the captain Kane Williamson give defeat in this game against West Indies as they were doing good just last two overs which concede 37 runs give them defeat and now exit from this event with after having target of the 149 things were still favourable for them but their all batting lineup gone badly which is another setback for them now after having exit from the event they have time for thinking about their future strategy and bringing changes which are important to have better results in this format.

New Zealand is one of the best side in this format but sadly in last few months things are not going good as they needed because their batting is having not good time with bowling is still doing good and giving good results which is surely matter of concern, and they have to fix this all before it has been too late.

If the pitch becomes normal or competitive between bat and ball then top teams will demolish lower ranking teams or associates and we will witness a fair amount of one sided encounters (Okay with that), similar to Group B fixtures. Still, it's good for cricket because associates get exposure and valuable experience against big teams. So, I'd still prefer more teams in whiteball tournaments, especially the T-20 because the short format tends to produce more upsets.

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.

I agree with you synchronym buddy, New Zealand is not a weak team and their Batsman, their bowlers are very powerful and have also great potential to beat any big and other strong sqaud like Pakistan, England, India etc but in this competition their performance is decreasing day by day and they matches very badly and total their sqaud played two matches of this Men T20 World cup competition and in both these clashes, New Zealand sqaud faced defeat and one match was lose by West Indies squad yesterday. In this match, bowlers performance was just normal not very high because West indies squad managed to almost 150 scores and this defeating target was good in this competition but in batting Inning, their sqaud members displayed very low quality strength just collecting 136 scores. On other side, England squad from group B, their sqaud performance was very bad in this competition hope both squads will qualify for Super Eight matches.

I don't understand why the New Zealand team is suddenly performing so poorly. They hosted a T20 series with Pakistan before the World Cup where they won the series by beating Pakistan brilliantly. However, their performances have slumped in the World Cup which has seen them bottom of the group points table with two successive defeats to Afghanistan and West Indies. We are not seeing any promising performance from the New Zealand team, the whole team is weak.

Maybe New Zealand's Super Eight dreams are almost uncertain with their net run rate so low. Check out yesterday's match between Afghanistan and Papua New Guinea to see how incredible Afghanistan performed there. This year's World Cup pitches have been helpful for the Afghanistan team as their country has world-class spin bowlers. ঞFor whom playing on this type of pitch is very convenient.

The New Zealand team is not performing well in the T20 World Cup, so the points are at the bottom of the table. But no doubt New Zealand's strong New Zealand team batsmen are very strong but they are not able to prove it in T20 World Cup. Due to which the team Super 8 game in New Zealand is almost uncertain. However, they did not perform so well against the West Indies. If the New Zealand batsmen could bat responsibly against the West Indies, New Zealand would have had a chance to win the match against New Zealand. If West Indies could win against New Zealand, their hopes of playing Super 8 would be alive. Of course, New Zealand team's batting line is very strong but they are not able to prove that in T20 World Cup. Of course the New Zealand team needs to focus on better batting and bowling. It is conceivable that even a strong team like New Zealand will not be able to participate in the Super 8. From Group C, West Indies are likely to be number one and Afghanistan are number two. It seems that Afghanistan and West Indies teams will confirm the Super 8.

Great game played was Indian team in their 25th match.  In this game, Indian team showed great effort and amazing skills and in end of game, their team won their match against USA team by losing just 3 wicket. USA set a small target of 111 runs and their effort in this match against Pakistan was very great and but this match, tehri team was set low target which India chased without stress. Suryakumar Yadav was Batsman of Indian team who made highest scores with 59 and this player Shivam Dube also played crucial role with strong partnership with Yadav which led to win. Arshdeep Singh was showed brilliant bowling performance from bowling side by taking 5 wickets and restricted USA team for small target. But early lose wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli these made few scores and lose wicket but middle batsman of India performed brilliantly and secured smooth victory. With winning this game India successfully and securely qualified for Super Eight with 6 points and 3 wins.

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.

Well... pitches need improvement irrespective of whether it is a 8-team tournament, or a 24-team one. But that is another topic. I would like to see more teams in this tournament. Next time, let's have 4 groups of 6 teams each (rather than the 5-team groups we had this time).

BTW, it was an excellent decision to stage some of the matches in the US. Tickets were priced anywhere from $300 to $10,000. As per media reports, the single match between India and Pakistan generated gate collection of ~$15 million.

Yes noormcs5 brother, from C, West indies against New Zealand squad participated in 26th clash of ICC Men World Cup competition. By emerging victorious in today match, West indies squad total win three matches total of three matches in this competition from Group C. But I feel very sad for New Zealand squad because their sqaud did not emerge victory in any match total of 2 both their sqaud lose and their position is also on bottom. If New Zealand have two more matches in future one match will be play with Uganda sqaud and other match will be fight with P.N.G squad. Both these sqaud are not much stronger and their sqaud background stats was also not good Uganda squad only got 1 match victory total of 3 and other sqaud Papua New Guinea sqaud played total two matches with two lost. But main matter and problem for New Zealand is that Afghanistan squad because their performance and playing skills was awesome in previous both matches but I still believe that New Zealand squad will comeback in this competition for reaching on Super Eight.

Pakistani team performance is very bad in all formats. Pakistani team bowlers should out Canada team at 60 score but that was hard win against Canada.  I like winners and I don't like Pakistani team because they are losers and they are playing for himself. No player is playing for the team ,Babar azam captaincy is not good and she should resign from the captaincy after the World Cup. Pakistani team is looking like Zimbabwe team because their performance is very bad and they lose matches against India and USA . Iftikhar Ahmad is out of form and Imad and Shadab played very bad againt India . I can not forget the performance of Imad and Shadab in match against India.

West Indies secured Super 8 round first from their group and Afghanistan are very close to qualify for Super 8 round. Afghanistan have two more matches remaining if Afghanistan win one match like their last two matches while New Zealand win their next two matches then Afghanistan will confirm next round.  

I see many big teams who are performing badly in this World Cup tournament, among them are New Zealand, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and some other teams. The teams that I have mentioned may be eliminated from the group stage of this World Cup tournament.  
Four teams from four different groups have already qualified for the next round.  
Good luck to the first four teams who qualified for the next round and wait for the next four teams to secure the quarter finals.

Almost everyone knows about the conflict between Babar Azam and Shahensha Afridi. So if both of them maintain a good relationship for the sake of cricket for the sake of the country then surely their team will be very positive about it. Pakistan team batsmen also lack consistency in performance they need consistency in performance. The bowlers of the Pakistan team bowled fairly well but if the batsmen of the Pakistan team could have batted responsibly they would have won the match against any team. But I feel worst for Pakistan team after they lost the match against USA they could not win the match due to their batting against India. Due to which the participation of the Pakistan team in the Super 8 is almost no.

If there is such rivalry in Pakistan team as you say then maybe Babar Azam and Shahensha Afridi rivalry should be ended. Because it is not a franchise league it is the game of their motherland and country. The honor of their country is involved here, so to increase the honor of the country and even to increase their own reputation, they should put aside all rivalries and play well together so that Pakistan can move forward. All the players of the Pakistan team should perform well for the country and the people of the country apart from the personal benefits.

Pakistan team may still have hope they have to try their best to win the next matches even win. Pakistan team has some talented players who can give their best performance whenever but they are currently out of form. Especially, none of the batsmen of the Pakistan team is performing well, most of them are getting out in few runs. All the batsmen in their team should perform well to save the honor of Pakistan team.

Associate teams like the USA looked good so far but make no mistake. New York's pitch was dodgy af and such pitches reduce the skill level of teams and players.

Most of the time it becomes a lottery and we shouldn't forget highest successful chase here was 111 (last night) so it is quite clear that it wasn't a competitive pitch at all. 

Having said that I am all in for a 20-24 team tournament but pitches need to improve as well.
