One can count on Roy. I did not bet but I am predicting Roy to score 50 in this match. England don't want to risk their work cup missing and they have a flying start so far.



The odds are not good for England and my prediction is that they ware going to win.

England won the toss and they elected to bat.


I'm somewhat tempted to back this bet, but I went with England to have an easy win in the pool, so I'm just gonna sit this one out.

I went win England to score over 84.5 Runs in the first 15 Overs. @ 1.60

Not sure about today's game, England are my favourites and I have New Zealand in the office pool, so I'm not sure who I want to win. England losing would certainly make the tournament more exciting for everyone involved!

I usually like betting on batsmen scoring over x but with England's batsmen being inconsistent and the NZ bowlers being on fire i'm not sure I want to touch that market 

Think i'll just back New Zealand at (3.25) and avoid the player props this time.

Pakistan is not out from world cup yet, if England lose from New Zealand and Pakistan beat Bangladesh, Pakistan will through to semi final and England will be out of world cup.

England batting back in form after Jason Roy back in team, so I don't think New Zealand can beat England.

In specific Shakib-Al-Hassan is the key player who took Bangladesh to such a level. He performed well on the batting lineup as well on bowling. The combined effort has given them a satisfaction, another team that has progressed good is Afghanistan. They too played good cricket against every team, particularly the game against India and Pakistan were in their hands. End of the game the lack of experience made them loss.

Australia and India are through though I would like to see India on top of the table. England and New Zealand are playing a quarter-final today and I bet on New Zealand(Risky), but I believe in their bowling lineup.

Pakistan is almost out of the race and need a miracle if they wish to qualify since their NRR is pretty horrible currently. Their game against Afghanistan provided them an opportunity to improve their NRR, but they failed to do so. We are at the end game(Group stages) now people.

^ agree its tough when home team gets out from any tournament but it's just a game I'm the end. Bangladesh played really good cricket in this edition and put good fight against all teams, still one more game to go, so best of luck.

After this world cup Bangladesh team should focus in red ball cricket which is a true form of the game.

Jadeja would be a perfect replacement of Kedhar Jadav yesterday. Like as JSRAW said, there's no meaning of
playing him unless he is not bowling couple of overs.

It was a huge chance for Bangladesh since the target wasn't that big. End of our dream 

Till now Jadeja has received a very harsh treatment from the selectors. They persisted with players such as Kedar Jadhav and Vijay Shankar even after repeated failures. I don't know what prevented them from giving a chance to Sir Jadeja. But rather than getting depressed, he made use of whatever opportunity that was available. The catch that he took to dismiss Jason Roy was a splendid example.

Yeah, middle order combination troubling me as well along with Indian team not making enough run in the death overs despite getting an excellent start, as the tournament proceeds towards Semis. It could be hectic for team India.

I am puzzled with middle order.

1. Rishab Pant: Not playing according to his reputation, he made 30-40 runs, which is not sufficient tbh. If he can produce at least 1 big inning or 60-70 odd runs in next 2 games then all good for India because he's a very destructive batsman.
2. Dhoni: not looking in good touch so far.
3. Jadav: not satisfied how Virat used him so far. If he's not bowling a couple of overs, then his place is not justified in the playing X1.
4. Pandaya: He's critical for India, and he's proving his worth no doubt. Plus point is, he's finishing his bowling quota.

Options :

1. Dinesh Kartik: India could try him at no 4 but at this stage, Management doesn't trust on him much.
2. Jadeja: India should try him at no 7 as an all-rounder in place of Kedar Jadhav. Left hand batsman+ bowling option, the best fielder in the Indian squad.

KL Rahul is not looking confident as well. don't know management will try Mayank or not. as of now india should stick with Rahul.

I would like to see ravindra jadeja in playing squad and extra spinner or seamer according to conditions.

Well forcing one end with good experience and better in batting to rotate the strike and target the one with the loose end/inexperienced always works out and this is what happened.

Eitherway it was a good match and well played Bangladesh.

I think at this point India need to tweak their middle order and test some batsman. Everything is working out for them except for their middle order. Today also most of them struggled with slow deliveries. I think next match is the perfect opportunity to lay out a chance to others and find someone fit before semis.

India finally won and all thanks to Bumrah from saving the match as Ban were so close to winning. I wondered how Saifuddin was getting 4s and even 6s from Shami and he managed to even keep up with the RR after Hasan got out. But because he was not on strike, we got the wickets and bowled them out.

If Eng manages to win the final game, Pak can go back home as no point of getting 11 points with Eng being on 12 then and NZ having a positive RR.

You probably have no idea what you are talking about. Go and check previous cricket discussion thread, I said before losing team Bangladesh. It's nothing new. Tamim is better now than couple of years ago (I can't remember) when he used to get duck.

In addition, Royse bhai said dropping catch is a part of game to pffrt. Trust me, if the player was anyone else, I wouldn't mind but when it's Tamim, I can't resist myself saying some stupid words.

Its strange that teams from Asia, as long as they Win are good and as soon as they start losing the tournaments, we suddenly start to hear a lot of politics, selectors, coaches and players issues.



Shakib, the last hope, is OUT and with this the World cup campaign is all over for the Bangladesh.

He played his part as usual. We lost early wickets in the middle, carelessly given wicket by Liton and Mushfiq, they could have played better innings. Our hope for has gone as well with this loss.
Need to refresh my mind with tomorrow's Brazil vs Argentina match 

Bangladesh played better but they lost wickets too early which let them to be in bad situation now and look like no more hopes because sakib even gone.

5th gone now. I can't really tolerate it anymore. Having a target of 315 against India is a dream. I was expecting at least 350 from India. We still need to lose the match. Guess the feeling of the guy Shakib, he is playing alone. No more hopes left.

Shakib is there but he cannot do it all alone. Liton Das and two other batsmen are caught at the short mid wicket. They need to realize the good and changing fielding positions by Virat and ofcourse good bowling changes too.

Is it Shakib Vs India  now ?

Despite having continuous off form, Tamim still managed to play in the team by the grace of Akram Khan, the cheif selector of BCB, uncle of Tamim Iqbal and Nafees Iqbal, a formar cricketer of Bangladesh.
I can't remember to see such a player who never played without opening. Sachin, Sehwag, even with huge form Usman Khawaja also changing their position. But BCB never tried to play him in other position even if he isn't in form.
We have option like Mithun, Liton Das at opening but couldn't make it because of Tamim and his uncle's politics.

India must be desperately looking for Shakib's wicket. He is capable of getting 100+ so if he goes, the match will be in control of India then.
