I think Bangladesh team will not need to take any more pressure with Champions Trophy game, because I think New Zealand team will win very easily today. I was a bit worried about the New Zealand team as they were losing continuously in the last four matches. Anyway my apprehension was cleared soon after the bowling innings of the New Zealand team.

If you are familiar with Bangladesh Cricket, you should not be this much confident. You never know if Bangladesh is going to be all out for 50 runs against australia if they batting first. You never know if Australia going to score 400 and Bangladesh may score less than hundred losing all wickets. If something like this happen in the next match, Sri Lanka is going to play the champions trophy and Bangladesh will have to watch it. As a Bangladeshi, I am pretty much worried about next match. Australian hero of the previous match is not going to play against Bangladesh. Still, I am not that much confident as like you  Embarrassed
Bangladesh is ahead in the current equation of playing Champions Trophy. I am talking about how Bangladesh is ahead in this equation.  If Bangladesh bats first and Bangladesh must bat for a minimum of 23 overs in the second innings, regardless of how many they collect.  If Australia wins in 23.1 overs, still Bangladesh will qualify for the Champions Trophy by being slightly ahead in terms of net run rate. On the other hand, if Bangladesh bats in the second innings and if Australia scores 400 runs in the first innings and if Bangladesh can score 190 runs, then Bangladesh will qualify for the Champions Trophy. Now the only hope will be that Bangladesh is not defeated by a huge margin against Australia. If the margin of victory is too big, the dream of playing the champion trophy of Bangladesh will end.
Bangladesh will never lose by a big margin against Australia. Bangladesh will perform very well in the game of Bangladesh vs Australia tomorrow and will remain in the Champions Trophy. I am a citizen of Bangladesh and always wish victory for Bangladesh. I hope Bangladesh come close to winning if not winning against Australia tomorrow. And if can perform well in both bowling and batting, then I will definitely beat Australia and win the match. I always pray for Bangladesh that Bangladesh can perform well.
Initially, I expect Bangladesh not to lose by a big margin against Australia, but the minus point for Bangladesh could be Shakib Al Hasan's captaincy and his all-round performance. Shakib Al Hasan's absence will undoubtedly create a lot of ill effects on the entire team. There are some experienced cricketers in the team who might overcome this bad influence. Since a win or loss won't have much impact for Bangladesh, Bangladesh will have to make sure they don't lose by too big a margin against Australia. Bangladesh will surely go to the field to win against Australia because no team from China should be defeated before entering the field. Win or loss is not very important in this World Cup match but Bangladesh must play for net run rate.

Unfortunately, Afghanistan didn't took the wickets of key players Rassie van der Dussen but Rashid Khan took 2/37 and Mohammad Nabi 2/35 a brilliant fight from the Afghanistan spinners against South Africa. South Africa winning it by 5 wickets because of brilliant innings of Rassie van der Dussen 74 unbeaten. Afghanistan is now officially out of wold cup, they win 4 matches out of 9 matches in this world cup. Afghanistan beaten first time 3 world champions Pakistan, Srilanka and England.

Today's match was irrelevant for all practical purposes. Afghanistan should be happy with the fact that they qualified for the 2025 Champions Trophy. When the tournament started, I didn't had much hope for Afghanistan, as their recent form was very poor. Even during the Asia Cup, they failed to qualify for the Super-4 stage. But they surprised everyone in this tournament. After the initial setback against Bangladesh, they managed to defeat three very strong teams (Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan). There are a lot of positives for Afghanistan to take away from this tournament.
There is no doubt this was one of the best end for the Afghanistan, or we can call this is start of the new era for them in white-ball format they have done impressive performance specially with the help of the host India which was giving them some special treatment throughout event but their defeat in first game against Bangladesh was really setback for them otherwise things can go much better for them.
Their wins against teams like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka is historic and ending above against teams like Sri Lanka and England is also giving all how they are dedicated to this game in near future as well they need to change their on field behavior as team and also works on batting can bring improvement which could be helpful for them to stay at the better spot.

South Africa once again under pressure chasing a modest total against Afghanistan. Batting first they always have the confidence and with a total in front they always stumble and have no idea why they always struggle like this. They lost their 5th wicket and they still need 61 runs to win the match. Moving forward all the team will force South Africa to chase as their chances drop drastically after the toss.

If Afghanistan could pick the wicket of Rassie van der Dussen we might even see South Africa loosing the match  Cheesy.

South Africa won the match by 5 wickets against Afghanistan. Afghanistan team was all team out on 244 runs. Both teams played very well and at the end South African team was announced as victorious. Van der dussen played very well and made 76 runs in 95 balls ,he remained not out at the end of inning.

Bangladesh vs Australia match is more important for Bangladesh. The equation that Bangladesh needs to match to play the championship. If Australia wins the toss and bats first. If Australia can score 360 runs, Bangladesh must bat later and score at least 200 runs. If Bangladesh bats first, they will be all out within 200 runs. Then Australia will have to play till 24 overs. I definitely want tomorrow's match if Bangladesh can't win at least I know they can score at least 250 runs. As a Bangladeshi cricket fan, I would like Bangladesh to win the match tomorrow. Best wishes for Bangladesh team. Let them batting and bowling very well in tomorrow's match.  Bangladesh can finally play the championship. This is the demand of crores of cricket fans in Bangladesh.

This match is not important for Australia. Because the Australian team is already securing the ticket to the semi-finals by gaining 12 points in 8 matches. But the match is very important for Bangladesh to qualify for Champions League. Although the Bangladesh team is not strong, this team often wins against big teams and this team shows surprise. This team has the capability against big teams. Because they have some talented players in their squad. However, probably Bangladesh's best player Shakib will be absent in this match due to injury. Without an important all-rounder like Shakib, it is difficult to predict how the Bangladesh team will play.

Did you really thought that Afghanistan had a good chance of qualifying for the semis? Out of the three teams who had 8 points each after the 8th round (Afghanistan, New Zealand and Pakistan), Afghans had the lowest net run rate. Even for Pakistan, it is getting almost impossible to qualify (they need to win by a margin of 287 runs, or need to chase down the target in just 2.5 overs). Afghanistan was never really in the race. But to their credit, they have secured qualification to the 2025 Champions trophy, which by itself is a great achievement.

This is exactly why South Africa are known as chokers. First they allowed Afghanistan to setup a formidable total of 244, after having them 160/7. And then they collapsed from 116/2 to 193/5. Rassie van der Dussen is at crease along with Andile Phehlukwayo. Latter has made 3 from 13 balls till now. They should have rather sent Gerald Coetzee or Keshav Maharaj ahead of him. The required run rate is now inching close to 6 runs per over. The problem for Afghanistan is that only one over each is remaining for Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.

South Africa won the match in the match. But winning this match was not easy for South Africa. I am sure if South Africa had batted first on this pitch they could have given a target of 350+. They have this ability. But this team is weak when it comes to run chase. This is South Africa's main weakness in this World Cup.

The pitch was spin-friendly. Spin bowlers from both teams bowled well today. As Afghanistan squad has talented spin bowlers like Nabi and Rashid Khan. So South Africa has to face a lot of problems to collect 245 runs. However, the excellent performance of Dussen and Andile saw the South African team reach the target by losing 5 wickets. Dussen remained unbeaten on 76 and Andile on 37.

Afghanistan was officially eliminated from the race for the semi-finals. Afghanistan won the toss and went into bat, setting a target of 245 to South Africa. Batting in the second innings, Africa scored 57 runs without a wicket in the power play. De Knok, the highest run-scorer of the tournament so far, was dismissed for 41, but ven der Dussen's unbeaten 76 helped South Africa win by 5 wickets against Afghanistan. Australia will meet in the semi-finals of Africa which has already been confirmed. As a team, Afghanistan have shown their best performance in this World Cup compared to any other World Cup. Their wins against Pakistan and England were a big achievement. Ibrahim zadran is the highest run scorer for Afghanistan this season with 376 runs and Rashid Khan is the highest wicket taker with 11.

It will be proved in tomorrow's game which team will win and which team will lose.A match will be played between Bangladesh and Australia tomorrow which is Bangladesh's last match of this World Cup but many equations are waiting for Bangladesh's Champions Trophy game in that match.The equation is that if Bangladesh bat first then they cannot be bowled out before 25 overs whereas if Australia bat later then they cannot win before 25 overs.If Bangladesh can play the match with their correct knowledge plan keeping this equation in mind then definitely Bangladesh will qualify for Champions Trophy.

Actually nothing can be said for sure about the game. Australia is a strong team they have already secured semi finals. Australia vs Bangladesh match tomorrow. There will be a change in the field for Australia tomorrow. Shakib Al Hasan is unable to play tomorrow's match due to injury. It is not possible to say how much success Enamul Haque will be able to show instead. However, the absence of Shakib Al Hasan is really disappointing for Bangladesh.Then Bangladesh must perform well against a strong team. Bangladesh's victory against Australia will not be so easy. Of course, in tomorrow's match, the Bangladesh team will have to do a very good bowling and batting line. Of course, as a supporter of Bangladesh, I want Bangladesh to win and make sure to play the Champions Trophy.

Undoubtedly, just as Afghanistan is playing with the reality against South Africa today, Pakistan will have to play with the reality against England that they will not be able to qualify for the semi-finals in any way.

They have got hope, especially if they get to bat first, I really hope they do get to bat first. Zaman, Babar, Rizwan, Iftikar — 400+ target is entirely possible.

BTW, does anyone find it annoying that stadium dj keeps playing hindi songs despite Indian team not playing?

It is never possible for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals because the England Pakistan match is such that if Pakistan wins the toss and bats, they will have to collect 500 runs and England will have to be bowled out within 50 runs. Such an equation is only possible in imagination but very difficult to implement in practice.
New Zealand kicked out Pakistan and Afghanistan out of the World Cup and also kill the dream of Sri Lanka 2025 Champions Trophy Qualifications. The win against Sri linka will place New Zealand to top 4 secure position and almost guaranted their spot in the semi-finals. Sri Lanka defeat killed their hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Champions Trophy. New Zealand brilliant both with the bat and the bowling that helped to reached at Number four on point table with 10 points.

The way Afghanistan lost wickets at the start I didn't think they would end up scoring 240 plus runs in the first innings. Perhaps Afghanistan lost the first 6 wickets between 110 runs and 120 runs. If a team loses their first 6 wickets within 100 runs then the 200 plus runs from that team in the end is nothing but responsible batting by the late batsmen. South Africa have collected a lot in the tournament so I would never say that they will have an easy win against Afghanistan.

To score 240 plus runs, South Africa will have to play responsible batting. Although I don't have confidence in Afghanistan's batting, I have enough confidence in Afghanistan's bowlers. It will not be easy for the African batsmen to deal with Afghanistan's bowlers. If Afghanistan wants to win this match, they must get out the opening four or five batsmen quickly, only then Afghanistan can finish the last match with victory.
Right, Afghanistan team successfully managed 244 runs target and your guess about targeting runs almost achieved. Your last words that Afghanistan finished this game by victory this would be doubtful because the opposite of Afghanistan team is South Africa team, this is not weak team at all in fact they are quite strong team in this tournament, in past they won several games of this tournament with huge margin of runs. Now, they chase down 66 runs target in 13 overs with lost one wicket of Captain T.Bavuma. He dismissed at 23 runs from 28 balls with three 4s. Current Batsmen are strong and good attackers in batting lineup. Kock scored 41 runs in 47 balls with two 4s and three 6s.

I was listening to the commentators after the post-match ceremony. They were saying that in case Pakistan bats first and make 300, then they need to bowl out England for around 50. On the other hand, if England bats first then they need to bowl out England for 50 runs and then chase down the target in 2.5 overs. So we are almost assured of a semi-final match between India and New Zealand. The other semi-final match is between South Africa and Australia. The knockout phase for sure is going to be very interesting.  

Hehe. This is an impossible equation unless England badly wants Pakistan to play in the semi-finals. They may give them a chance, wait, I should not talk nonsense as these things are not going to happen anyway.
