Bangladesh is not able to burn in Dharamshala. Did Shakib Al Hasan really make a wrong decision by inviting England to bat first? At the moment, England have collected 259 runs in  36.3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket.  Debit Malan has been on fire at the moment as he scored 135 runs off 103 balls and is Root approaching his half-century. If England continues to play like this then England will score 400+ runs today. If 400+ runs, Bangladesh will not be able to burn so hard today. So I can't see the victory of Bangladesh team in today's match.
I think Shakib Hasan took the right decision. How come this stadium has the record of winning matches by teams batting later. Also, Bangladesh won the first match by batting later at this venue. But in today's match, England batted exceptionally well. I was surprised by England's batting performance. So far England's total has been 290 runs in 39 overs. Jonny Bairstow batted well and scored a half-century and was dismissed for 52 runs. Dawid Malan batted very well in today's match scoring 140 runs off 107 balls. The way England are batting today, and with 11 overs to go, it looks like they can easily score 400 runs. England will win easily if they score 400 runs. Bangladesh cannot win today.

England lost badly against New Zealand in the first match. And so they had to win today's match against Bangladesh at any cost if they wanted to qualify for the semi-finals. For this purpose, they are batting from the beginning of the innings. England's batsmen are playing great. The bowling of Bangladeshi bowlers is not too bad but they cannot do well against the experienced batsmen of England. Spin bowlers cannot play such an effective role today. At the end of 42 overs, England collected 307 runs, losing 5 wickets. The team will probably be able to deliver a target of 360-370. That's enough to win on this pitch.
It was understood from the beginning that Bangladesh will not be able to do it today. Today, England gave Bangladesh a target of 365 runs by trying hard enough to survive in the semi-finals of the World Cup.  First Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan invited England to bat after winning the toss. England were on fire from the start against Bangladesh today.  Bangladesh lost their wicket very early while they were chasing the target of 365 runs. Bangladesh lost all wickets and scored 227 runs in 48.2 overs. Liton Kumar Das and Mushfiqur Rahim formed a pair for the team but could not take Bangladesh far towards the goal of victory. Bangladesh had to lose very easily to England.

Looks like England is all set to thrash the Bongs while Sri Lanka surprised most people thanks to the amazing partnership between Mendis and Samarawickrama. Mendis is in heavenly form these days.

Pakistan will most probably lose this one pretty comfortably since Theekshana is back in the lineup.

Sri Lanka has given a target of 345 runs to the Pakistan team. If Pakistan's Matheesha Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana can see the ball and play well then there may be some glimmer of hope. If Pakistan are to win this match, they will have to play without losing a wicket. However, Pakistan's chances of winning this are very low. For Pakistan to win I think these three batters must play well, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan. Also, Pakistan is keeping 4 batting all-rounders, it is good for Pakistan. Because they will do well in batting. Pakistan wants to win, they have to play at 6.88 run rate then they can win. Let's see what happens in the end. Hope Pakistan plays as well as Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Kusal Perera very quickly. Still the team was playing brilliantly due to the responsible batting of Nissanka and Mendis. But they just lost the wicket of Mathum Nissanka. After collecting 51 runs in 61 balls, he returned to dressing room.
The team has collected 112 runs in 18 overs. Sri Lanka's run rate is very good. The team has the potential to score 300 runs if the players stay at the crease. If Sri Lanka can provide 300+ target then they have chances to win. Because in the second innings, it is much more difficult to win by batting at the target of 300+ runs on this pitch.
I am very disappointed with Pakistan's fielding today. The team is fielding very badly. And this is why Sri Lankan batsmen are getting more confident to play big shots.

Nissanka got overconfident and gave his wicket as he was caught. Mendis is still playing well and has got his half-century, Samarawickrama is rotating his strike. The current run rate is above 6, which is a good sign for the Srilankan team. Pakistan bowlers are trying their best but sloppy fielding is causing issues. The wicket is not even helping the Pak spin attack, this Srilankan side is looking completely different.

I agree if Srilankan batter gets this partnership going then they will easily score 300 runs. Nothing going the right way for Pakistan not only fielding their bowling has been poor they have been leaking extra runs now and then.
Sri Lanka won the toss today and were confident due to which they opted to bat. The way they are scoring it totally looks like a T20 match is being played. On the pitch, Kusal Mendis made a huge score of 79 off 56 balls and Sadeera Samarawickrama 29 off 24 balls. Whatever they have scored at this stage will be over 300 runs if they play normally. No matter how good the team is, if the target run is big, their wickets start falling. Sri Lanka could not beat Pakistan in the World Cup, perhaps they will erase that sorrow this time. They are expecting a great win. Pakistan is trying but they are failing probably they will not be able to defeat Sri Lanka in this match.
The Sri Lankan batsmen today put up an incredible batting performance which led to a rapid increase in their runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen, especially Kusal Mendis, have increased their run rate as long as they have been at the crease. Kusal Mendis scored a brilliant century today with 122 runs off 77 balls which was really great. And one more batsman gave unbelievable batting performance Sadeera Samarawickrama his batting performance was great and outstanding. With a century of 108 off 89 balls with his bat, the big runs from these two batsmen helped Sri Lanka build a huge score today. Sri Lanka today scored 344 runs in 50 overs for the loss of 9 wickets which was truly remarkable. It is very difficult to say whether Pakistan will be able to meet the target of 344 runs but Pakistan may be under a lot of pressure to meet the target today. If Pakistan's batsmen don't perform well in the beginning then surely Pakistan will not win the match against Sri Lanka today but there is a possibility of losing. And if Pakistan's batsmen can improve their batting performance then they might win the match against Sri Lanka but it might be difficult.

Sri Lanka looking for there first ever ODI world cup victory againest Pakistan today. Sri Lanka have scored 321 runs in 46 over and they will definatly give a target of over 350 runs to Pakistan. The real damage has been done by Mendis and Sarawickrama both centurion in todays game. Paksitan team is very weak in chasing target and it looks that Sri Lanka will win todays game. All pacers were brutally punished today by Mendi and Sarawickrama. Now its on batsmen whether they save this game for Pakistan or not. 

Good comeback by Pakistan in these last overs. They gave only 45 runs in the last 9 overs. There is a good chance of Srilanka getting their first win. The last time Pakistan chased more than 340 runs was this year in Lahore against Australia. If they can recreate that same magic then they will emerge as a winner. For now Srilankan team is looking better than Pakistan. Kushal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama are the reason why Srilanka has a big score on the scoreboard.

Bangladesh team's bowlers bowled poorly, losing 9 wickets, England team's collection of 364. Now Bangladesh team needs to collect 365 runs to win the match against England. However, the Bangladesh cricket team is yet to be worthy of scoring 365 runs against England. So with such a big score, it is never possible for Bangladesh team to win the match against England.

Now Bangladesh team is batting against England bowlers. The beginning of Bangladesh team's batting is stagnant. Bangladesh lost five wickets in 22.4 overs. England bowlers are bowling very strongly. Strong bowling by England bowlers made Bangladesh batsmen uncomfortable. And due to this uncomfortable bowling, Bangladesh team batsmen, Tanjid Hasan, Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraj, could not last long at the crease.  Now it is not possible to say what the rest of the batsmen can do. Bangladesh team's score so far is 129-5(22.4). I think it is worthless to expect Bangladesh to win this match
When chasing a big target, it's crucial to balance scoring at the required run rate and securing wickets. However, Bangladeshi batters seem to lack confidence and wicket protection. Apart from Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim, they're losing wickets consistently. Sadly, their efforts might be in vain as they struggle to pursue the target. Reece Topley showcased an impressive start for England, propelling them towards a BIG victory in their World Cup journey.

In each of the few matches played in the ODI World Cup so far, one team has won by a big margin against the other. New Zealand beat England by a big margin in the first match, Pakistan beat Netherlands by a big margin in the second match, Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by a big margin in the third match, South Africa beat Sri Lanka by a big margin in the fourth match, India beat Australia by a big margin in the fifth match, New Zealand beat Netherlands by a big margin in the sixth match and England are going to beat Bangladesh by a big margin in the seventh match today. 
I have never seen a match that was so exciting or ended with so much interest. If such a game is played in a big tournament like the World Cup, people's interest in cricket will definitely decrease.

Some sort of a partnership is building between Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh has zero chances of winning this match, but it looks like they are fighting for some respectability. The required run rate has shot up to more than 8 runs per over and almost the entire Bangladeshi top and middle order is back in pavilion. BTW, the England spinners are yet to come to the picture. It has been 15 overs now, and only the seamers were given the chance to bowl. At some point Adil Rashid and part-timers like Joe Root will be asked to bowl against the Bangladeshis.

The way England started their innings, I thought the score would be 400+ today. But in the last 10 overs, the Bangladeshi bowlers found the truck. England could not do well in the last 10 overs.

At the end of 40 overs, England's collection was 298 runs with the loss of only 3 wickets. And at the end of 47 overs, the team collected 337 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. England should have collected 70 runs in these 7 overs. But they collected only 39 runs. Their average is below 6. Even then, if you give a target of more than 350 on this pitch, you can be safe. Also the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very erratic. They will not be able to stay at the crease for long against England's bowlers. England may win by a big margin today.
Bangladesh has no chance of winning this match. England set a huge target of 365. And Bangladesh's two top order batsmen Tanzim and Shanto have already returned to the dressing room. Shanto, who batted brilliantly in the first match, failed to collect any runs today. Bangladesh collected only 26 runs in 5 overs losing two wickets. England's top order destroyed the Bangladeshi bowlers today. England managed to post a target of 365 thanks to a brilliant performance from the top order. On the other hand, the performance of Bangladesh's top order is very weak. It is not possible to win such a big target depending on the middle order players alone. Shakib and Liton are now at the crease. These two batsmen are trying to survive at the crease.

Bangladesh's batsmen are coming to the crease one by one and returning to the dressing room. Other than Liton Das, no other player can survive at the crease. It turned out to be a completely one-sided match. Bangladesh lost 4 of their batsmen in 10 overs. And collected only 57 runs. Liton Das remains unbeaten with 44 off 35 balls. Tanzid, Shanto, Shakib and Miraz were not able to play well. Mushfiq and Liton are batting now. It is much more difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs now. The Bangladesh team was not ready for such a humiliating defeat after an excellent win against Afghanistan. I thought this match would be competitive.

211/1 after 32.4 overs. A big total, of somewhere around 350-360 is definitely possible. At this point, England is scoring at a rate of 7-8 runs per over but they can't accelerate any further because the Bangladeshi spinners are bowling with very tight line and length. Joe Root has scored at a run per ball, but at the moment it is Dawid Malan (118 from 96 balls) who is doing most of the heavy lifting. If both these batsmen stays there for another 10 overs or so, then it is possible that England may get to a total that is closer to 400.

LOL.. my prediction proved to be accurate. England made 364, while I predicted somewhere between 350-360. Now Bangladesh has already lost 4 wickets before the 10th over. Only Liton Kumer Das has shown any sort of resistance with unbeaten 44, out of a total of 57/4. Mushfiqur Rahim is at the crease, as Liton is running out of support from the other end. Reece Topley just ripped through the Bangladeshi innings with three quick wickets. Who would have thought this? England bowlers demolishing Bangladesh even with the absence of Jofra Archer.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan. This pitch is batting friendly. High scores are likely if the Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly. However, Sri Lanka stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lost the wicket of Kusal Perera for just 5 runs in the second over.

In today's match, I consider Pakistan team as favorite. However, the performance of their players is very erratic. They also lost against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup match. Still, I think Pakistan will play responsibly in today's match. Also since the pitch is batting friendly. So Pakistan's batsmen may also be able to play well. The average score of the first innings at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is 291 runs. But I don't think Sri Lanka will be able to give a target like 290

Bangladesh vs England
Bangladesh will take the field against England today in an important match of the World Cup. In their first match, Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by a big margin, on the other hand, in their first match, England lost to New Zealand by a huge margin.

Liam Livingstone in the press conference before taking the field against Bangladesh said that it is not a problem that they lost the first match by a big margin because they will beat Bangladesh by a big margin in the next match. That is why they have enough confidence in themselves. But there is no chance to take Bangladesh easily, England must fight to win against Bangladesh. According to the current performance, Team England will not be able to defeat Bangladesh by a large margin.

@Fuse.hp while England are a strong team but they’re clearly underestimating Bangladesh here because Bangladesh bowler’s will trouble them a lot hence I hope that they come up with a strong plan otherwise they could lose this game too. Lastly England is trying to play mind game’s with Bangladesh but I’m not sure if it’s the right move as these words will only motivate Bangladesh to try harder and win the game and thus if one gets higher odds then wagering on Bangladesh does makes sense.
Well, I did not think so that Bangladesh bowling effort enough for broke their England players batting partnership. We also know they successfully pull down one batter of England team Jonny Bairstow but he made a full effort and contribute his best performance for team and also he completed his half century. At present, England team is battiing in crease and they made 268 scores and 12 overs are remaining for playing. If their partnership performance continue in next remaining overs then they will successfully set high score for Bangladesh team. Only a single batsman David Malan representing top class performance in today match and scored 140 runs and also completed full century and also near to next half century but unfortunately Bangladesh bowler stopped him. I hope Joe Root will reach at century and 22 score are left.
England played a devastating innings in the first 40 overs against Bangladesh. From 30 overs to 40 overs, England managed to score 11 runs per over. If Bangladesh could not bowl controlled in the last 10 overs, then England's innings would have reached 450 plus runs. However, due to Bangladesh's excellent bowling in the last 10 overs, England's first innings stopped at 364 runs. The bowlers of Bangladesh have done well in other matches and their poor performance in today's match is undoubtedly thought that Bangladesh is going to be defeated by England by a big margin. In a short while Bangladesh will bat to chase the target of 365 runs.

England batted really well for their 364, but those quick wickets in the last overs definitely pulled back the expected target by at least 30 to 40 runs. At one point, England was looking for a target over 400 when Root and Malan were batting. BAN bowled brilliantly in the last 10 overs. Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam bowled exceptionally well at the death overs. Still, the target is too much for the BAN team to chase. England should win the match comfortably.

In Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, SL won the toss and chose to bat first. They lost an early wicket, but now they are in control and looking good. Kusal Mendis will be the key for SL if they want to win this match.

In today's match, I consider Pakistan team as favorite. However, the performance of their players is very erratic. They also lost against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup match. Still, I think Pakistan will play responsibly in today's match. Also since the pitch is batting friendly. So Pakistan's batsmen may also be able to play well. The average score of the first innings at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is 291 runs. But I don't think Sri Lanka will be able to give a target like 290
