Afghanistan vs Uganda

Afghanistan and Uganda are going to face each other in the fifth match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 today. Afghanistan has 80% chance to win this match mainly because Afghanistan has strong and balancing both bowling and batting. I have not personally enjoyed a Ugandan game so far but if I get a chance to watch the match today it will be my first Ugandan match. However, Afghanistan and Uganda have not faced each other in T20 cricket so far. If today's match takes place, then it will be the first T20 match between Afghanistan and Uganda.
Yes your 80% prediction was right in this match and Afghanistan squad was emerged victorious in match so easily without any stress and with no hard work. Afghanistan squad has begun this match with first Batting Inning and their performance in this inning was so admirable. Afghanistan squad has collected total 183 scores at end of their batting Inning of total 20 overs. Starter batter of Afghanistan squad displayed very impressive performance in batting and both made long lasting batting partnership with total 150+ scores. Rahmanullah Gurbaz batter entered on crease in this match h as first starter batter and he collected total 76 scores and other batter Ibrahim Zadran picked total 70 scores in this match. Just these two batter played amazingly and resting played just few deliveries with low scores. Uganda squad was unable to achieve this big Defeating target of total 183 scores and whole squads was wiped out at 58 scores and faced defeat with high scores of 125. No one played good from Uganda sqaud side whole squad was cleared out at below 10 scores. Fazalhaq Farooqi showcased unbelievable performance in bowling inning with picking 5 good batter wickets of Uganda squad in just 4 overs. Best wishes Afghanistan squad for upcoming matches.

Another thing to note that in this World Cup, every small team hitting back to back, can you even believe that Scotland's team performance is like this against England? How is it possible? To make 90 runs in 10 overs without losing any wickets. In that match, there was a huge disappointed for Scotland because they were playing very amazingly and going to create a history but the rain helped the England team.

Just imagine if they played full 20 overs, then there would be no chance for England to win this because everything is front of you. No doubt, Scotland is just a low name in the world of cricket and England is a giant.

India vs Ireland time! This one should be a cakewalk for the Indians and I am not expecting any surprises in this one thanks to their performance in the recent warm-up match against Bangladesh.

Betting on India seems to be the way to go in this one. Hope rain doesn't play spoilsport in this encounter. Let's see what happens.
In the past, Irish lads did upset Poms a couple of times so no one should underestimate them and on top of that it's T-20. India should cross a line as Group A seems relatively easy but there is no room for complacency. 

India are going with Rohit-Kohli combo, which is interesting but feel for poor Jaiswal. Rohit looks like a quota skipper lol

It's not exactly about being star, I would not be rooting for him had he been performing poor, look at his performance in IPL, his catches taken, he's performing good and add the experience of playing since long, you just have a player that could play significant role in team wins (even a mere catch can be a turning point, good fielders are underrated).

It's fine for me that Indian selectors usually select experienced guys over young guns, young guns often fail in under pressure situations or playing matches with high stakes involved (i.e, Final) , while experienced guys like Kohli (whether like him or not), they can survive such situations, and more often than not, take your team to the winning shore, even in ODI world cup, Kohli's wicket was turning point. Rahul tried but succumbed to the pressure.

Look how Aussies selectors didn't pick Jake Fraser McGurk either despite his blazing performance in BBL and IPL.
Franchise cricket is not International cricket and like i said Proteas didn't even look at AB de Villiers and he was GOAT.

It's been a decade and senior players have failed to bring any ICC trophy, 10 years is a long period. New players might be inexperienced but they also don't have any baggage of getting knocked out in Knockouts again n again. Young guns might also fail, but that's how every team goes into transition.

It's shame that SA selectors left Faf out of wc squad. His fitness level is top notch, bats aggressive, great fielder, can perform in under pressure situations. Faf is experienced and checks all other boxes, wrong decision from the selectors to exclude him.

SENA cricket boards are not like Subcontinent cricket boards.

Results or no results, they look at the future and never go back to old dogs, they didn't even approach AB de Villiers a few years back so it gives us an idea about their mentality. Unlike in our part of the world, which is the opposite, look at how everyone bends over for star players.

Sri Lanka collapsing for like the umpteenth time. They are consistently scoring lower than 100 scores these days which is quite embarassing. The pitch is clearly supporting bowlers a lot and the South Africans are taking full advantage of it.

Yes, the team of Sri Lanka played very poorly and we cannot expect this with them but still now I think Sri Lanka team down fall started already. However, it is not the first time with Sri Lanka that they are in this desperate situation. I think it is from years ago. By the way I cannot understand why they will not allow giving a chance to those players who even hit double centuries in the test and playing also good in ODI. When there was ODI World Cup then they had no player relevant to that format of the game and had a lot of players of T20 and when in T20 World Cup then they had a lot of ODI players. In short, they cannot understand who can play the game in which format  Sad

Sri Lanka, given a raw scheduling deal, struggle to find their bearings

Lame excuses by them won't be helpful for them in this World Cup. See this statement by the Srilanka and you can see how much negativity they are carrying in this WC.

Namibia vs Oman was the most entertaining match for me so far thanks to twists and turns throughout the match and a super freaking over after a long time. @JSRAW got his wish fulfilled at last.

Also, it seems like the England vs Scotland match could get washed out which would be great news for Scotland and bad news for England.
Oh well, i would've been happier if IPL had a couple of Super Over contests but IPL scriptwriters had other plans.

Tbh I wasn't interested in the Namibia vs Oman match but luckily tuned in the last 3-4 overs and surprisingly it went to the wire. David Wiese used his franchise cricket experience well in Super Over, which made the ending one man show but no complaints whatsoever.

Despite this thrashing win, Afghanistan has lot to learn this game, the way they lost wickets after the fall of first wicket, and didn't musher up much runs either. 

The way West Indies played against PNG , I would not consider their spot in Super 8 guaranteed, and would not be surprised if Afghanistan manages to reach Super 8 instead of WI, AFG is also having huge NRR in points table after this thrashing win, so they are at advantage anyhow.

WI should have tried to capitalize against PNG that they could have got NRR boost but they just did enough to win the match.
Judging by the overall performance in Group C. I'd say Afghans might have a slight edge over the Windies.

Windies got a gun batting lineup but an average bowling unit and the Afghans got satisfactory batters but good bowlers. This kind of difference could play a huge role when wickets are slow because bowlers will dominate the fight.

You could be right about the Super Eight situation, not because West Indies is a weaker side but because the next matches of both sides, AFG and WI, will decide which of these will go forward.

AFG's next two matches are against NZ and PNG. Now they will surely struggle against NZ because it's a strong side in T20 cricket, but they will trash PNG if they perform well, and that can give them an advantage.

On the other hand, WI has their next two matches against Uganda and NZ. Again, they can trash Uganda for sure because it's probably the weakest side in the tournament, but against NZ, they will have a tough time for sure because they struggled against PNG which is way weaker than NZ.

And finally, WI and AFG have a head-to-head match at the end of the group stage which can be the decider for both sides based on their earlier performances.

Yeah. Crazy change of pace after watching IPL 2024 where there were so many flat decks. This is what I wanted since flat decks made things entertaining for sure, but they got repetitive pretty quickly.

On the other hand, these slow pitches with bigger boundaries are seriously testing the batsmen from every team. Anything above 110 is probably considered competitive on these pitches.
I dont think any ground in this wc will provide bigger boundariea. 65-70 meter is requirement and in last match i saw 69 meter six on long-on which is usually 75-78 meter  in the Ipl so we can rule this out.

Slow pitch could make things diificult for batters because they struggle to time the ball so its good for bowlers, having said that, regular low scoring contest could be equally frustrating and possibly create a dull environment.

Looks like a dead match to me and I feel we will witness slow pitches throughout the tournament, maybe a couple of batting friendly pitches here n there.

If this trend continues then slow pitch will balance out all gaps for every team and quality batters will survive and potentially win the matches for their respective teams.

West Indies are playing really well at the moment thanks to the ball turning quite a bit. Shepherd and Hossein have been brilliant with the ball so far. PNG are trying hard to fight back with a decent total, but it looks like they might not even reach 140.
140+ is on the cards as long as Bau continues playing until the end in my opinion. This is a great start by the WI on their own turf.
West Indies won the match in nail-biting competition by 5 wickets against Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea batted well and scored a 136 runs target in a loss of 8 wickets in the first innings of the match. West Indies successfully chased down the target 137 runs in just a loss of 5 wickets in the 19th over of the match. The Player of the Match is Roston Chase for his amazing all-round batting and bowling performance bowling they didn't pick any wickets but his economy rate is good just 6 and over. Rostom Chase doing well in batting scores 42 runs unbeaten from just only 27 balls. West Indies after this win a positive start to the World Cup.
This is a great success for the West Indies team.   He play very well and work hard and struggled and won the match.  On the one hand they could have made the target difficult if their bowlers had supported them but their bowlers could not get enough wickets or stop runs. But their bowlers tried to apply pressure in the end and  There was also pressure.  But the West Indies batsmen won the match by complete the runs with good performance and full effort.  I was watching the performance of the West Indies batsmen and the last overs again looked like they might lose the match.  But their batsmen achieved the target by performing well.  Congratulations to them on their win.

Other teams should take note of PNG and USA too and be watchful when dealing with the Associates. They can't be complacent against these teams.
Agreed. This is the T20 format where unpredictable stuff is common to witness.
