So today two bottom teams will play 40th match of ICC World. Means England and Netherlands will face each others. Both of teams disqualified from semifinal so they will only play like a regular match. If we look on the stats of both teams so we will see that Netherlands won two of their matches and England only won one match. According to the stats England is looking weak but I think England will win today match. By the way let's see.
Today  it is the 40 match of ICC world cup. It is between England and Netherlands. it is very important match for both team. England win the toss and england elected batting. England makes 73 run in 11 over and Netherlands get only one wicket against england in 11 over.England batsmen seem to be playing with a lot of struggle and effort. England batsman makes 78 run in 12 over.If England batsmen play with each other, they can win the match.England makes 83 run in 13 over.And gave only one out in all these 13 overs.As far as it seems that today match will come to England.
In first, England squad start this match by choosing batting inning after winning toss. England squad performance show different effort in today match against Netherlands squad. England squad lost three main batters Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan and Joe Root. First batter Jonny Bairstow got out by Aryan Dutt bowler after making 15 scores off 17 balls. Second batter Dawid Malan got out by Logna van Beek after making 87 runs off 74 balls, his performance showed superb struggle and so close in century. Third batter Joe Root got out by Logon van Beek after making 28 runs off 35 balls. At present, England squad made 156 scores in 25 overs. In this match, England squad is playing very well but now there is no benefit to their good performance.
England team collected 174 runs in 29 overs. England lost 4 wickets. England's players have collected an average of 6 runs per over. Stokes and Buttler are now at the crease. If these two batsmen can stay at the crease for a long time then England will give a target of more than 350 today. And if England loses these two wickets before 40 overs, then maybe England's innings will stop between 300-320. The performance of the Netherlands bowlers is quite good. If the target is around 300, maybe Netherlands can fight for victory, because England's bowling is not very good. They are not doing well in this World Cup. But if the target is more than 300, England may be going to get their second win today.

England's team just lost the wicket of Buttler. I didn't think an experienced batsman like Buttler would get out like a fool. I expected a big innings from Buttler today. Captain Buttler returned to the dressing room with just 5 runs from 11 balls.
Apart from Dawid Malan, no other batsman of the England squad could play a big innings. Malan played an excellent innings of 87 runs off 74 balls. Experienced batsmen like Moeen Ali and Stokes are still at the crease. So there is still a possibility of delivering big targets. Stokes is batting very responsibly today. He has already collected 30 runs from 33 balls. At the end of 32 overs, England's collection is 183/5.

Yes, this match is important for both teams in the sense that England would want to win their last two matches and they will surely do not want to lose to the weakest yet emerging team Netherlands. They need to play for their pride although they have disappointed in this world cup. We never wanted to see the former World Cup Champions right at the bottom of the World Cup table.

For Netherlands, they have all to play for. If they lose, no one would blame them but if they win, it's like winning a World Cup for them. In fact it would be a good experience and achievement for them in the matches they won in this world cup.

England are well placing in this match as they have managed to get 137 runs with only two wickets down. Dawid Malan is looking good at 87 runs and hopefully he will be eyeing at his century.

Australia was struggling at 91/7, but then something remarkable happened.
Initially, Afghanistan's bowlers did a great job in breaking down Australia's batting order. However, they faced a setback due to Maxwell and Pat Cummins, who created a historic partnership. Maxwell took an aggressive approach and launched an attack on Afghanistan's bowling. The result is now known, as the entire situation turned around.

One of the Afghan fielders dropped an easy chance from Maxwell, when he was batting at 1 run. Maxi went on to make another 200 runs for himself. And there were a number of dropped catches off Maxwell and Cummins during their 8th wicket partnership. Perhaps this resulted from complacency from the part of the Afghan fielders. They thought that the match is firmly in their control and there is no need to put that extra mile. But Maxwell is a typical Australian cricketer. He knows how to get a win for his team. Australia has now won 6 consecutive matches in this world cup.

yeah! What if they had taken that easy chance and not dropped that catch? The result might have favored Afghanistan. They did everything right, except for that dropped catch. Australia capitalized on that dropped catch and won the match. Maxwell, despite being cramped up and unable to move freely, played an outstanding ODI innings. He never gave up, even when the odds were against his team, and that's what defines Australia's cricket spirit.

Right now i think New Zealand are the favourite to quailify for the semi finals. They are on a better run rate as compared to Pakistan and a big win against Srilanka will make them more comfortable to qualify.
 
As far as the Pakistan team is concerned, they need to beat England by a big margin and that may not be easily possible. The only chance i feel for the Pakistan team is the upset should happen in the New Zealand vs Srilanka match, where Srilanka beat New Zealand and then Pakistan only need to beat England and there will be no calculation of the run rate.

Anyways, in the next few days we will see who will qualify for the 4th position and play with the mighty India  Cheesy
Yes you are right. Pakistan can qualify if New Zealand will lose the match against SriLankan and Pakistan will win the match against England. But if New Zealand will win the match against Sri Lanka so this will make a difficult chance for Pakistan to qualify for Semifinal. We can't say anything at this anything can happen like you have an example of yesterday match.

Catches win matches! Afghanistan played so freaking well throughout the match until they dropped Maxwell when he was in 20s which was an easy one and 30s which was extremely easy by Mujeeb.

They could have ended Australia within 120-130, but played like amateurs towards the end. Maxwell delivered a legendary performance and helped his team qualify for the semi-finals.

The dropped catch by Mujeeb was a very easy chance. And it probably cost Afghanistan the match. Even now Afghanistan has a remote chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, but it is much more difficult given their poor net run rate when compared to New Zealand and Pakistan. Also, their next match is going to be against one of the strongest teams (South Africa). On the other hand, both New Zealand and Pakistan have relatively weaker opponents (Sri Lanka and England respectively). So it is mainly going to be between NZ and Pakistan, on who will qualify as the 4th team.

That has to be the greatest chase of all time? Very lucky with the catch drop but how good is Maxwell's timing? He just stood there and delivered. Unbelievable hitting. I thought it was still Afghanistan's match to lose once they were about a run a ball to chase but still 80 runs away. Nothing really worked for the Afghans though. Bad bowling to worse fielding. They got very complacent as Maxwell wasn't taking a run but that also came to bite them as he snuck few runs in with relative ease.

Catch miss means match miss.
Afghanistan were penalized in the match for missing a catch by Mujeeb Maxwell. Afghanistan fielded and bowled well enough until Australia fell by seven wickets but then lost control and Maxwell seized the opportunity time and again. Anyway, Australia won tomorrow's match thanks to Maxwell's miracle. Maxwell and Cummins are the heroes of tomorrow's match.
That's why I want to say that Australia team was bit of lucky in that match. Maxwell get chance many time for the justice that missed by Afghanistan player. I also saw that an LBW wicket application was agreed by the umpire. They are Maxwell make challenge review and he get chance once more.
Even then I want to say that Maxwell did the performance as his name "max + well". He play the match in the beginning with a cool head. After that he take the chances and you get success this case. That's why we call him a legendary player.

on who will qualify as the 4th team.
Afghanistan, Pakistan and New Zealand have won 4 matches each and have 1 match remaining. Afghanistan will play against South Africa, chances of victory are high for South Africa. So I don't see a chance for Afghanistan to play in the semi-finals. On the other hand, New Zealand will play against Sri Lanka, the chances of New Zealand winning are high. Pakistan will play against England, the chances of Pakistan winning are high. So I think Pakistan and New Zealand have more chances to play semi final. Between Pakistan and New Zealand, the team having NRR + can play in the semi-finals. I think New Zealand can make it to the semi-finals.

Australia after losing the first two matches in this world cup returned back strongly and won the remaining of their matches. On the other hand, the Afghanistan defeat hurt them badly and their chances of moving ahead in this tournaments becomes even more dull.
What an excellent match. I really appreciate Glenn Maxwell who just pull his team to the victory line and cross the line and won the match. What a massive score he made 201 runs. I was thinking that Australia just lost the match because they lost 7 wickets under 100 runs. All the credit goes to Glenn Maxwell. I really enjoyed this match. Congratulations to Australia. Smiley

Glenn Maxwell was injured and he could not run properly so he opted to hit boundaries. This thing went in favor of Australia and they won. Had he been fit, he would have played a bit for carefully and perhaps, Australia would not be able to win. But in this situation, Glenn Maxwell knew that the only option for him was to hit the boundaries.

When anyone is so clear in his mind, then he will hit the ball hard and luck favours the brave. Another thing was the bad fielding by the Afghanistan team, missed chances due to which they were not able to win this match, which they should have won. After this win, Australia will be going to the semi finals with huge confidence and this may be advantageous for them as compared to their most likely opponent South Africa who had a bad defeat against India recently.

Credit should go to Cummins as well, he held his wicket so well, without him despite Maxwell being there nothing could have been done. It was wonderous to watch Maxwell last night, how his shots either find the gap and go for four or for a six.

Afghanistan team's overconfidence/arrogance after getting early wickets also played part in their defeat. It's not win until you actually win.


The way Cummins defended the balls, he undoubtedly acted like a worthy captain. Seven wickets already gone at that point if Cummins didn't play a defensive style he was likely to be out and if he was out Maxwell would have no one to support him on the other side no matter how well he batted. The innings played by Cummins is called leading from the front. Maxwell's innings history page will also feature his magic moments from every World Cup tournament to come. He not only did well but played for his country at the highest risk of injury to himself. Those who don't find confidence in themselves must follow this innings of Maxwell and hope they regain their lost confidence.

I am not sure whether it is lack of experience or overconfidence. From what I have seen, this is not the first instance where Afghanistan lost a match, that was firmly in their grasp. Australia was down to 91/7, with Maxwell and Cummins at the crease. Maxwell wasn't able to walk so he was restricted to hitting boundaries. The required run rate was well over 6 per over. At this moment, how hard it is to defend a total of 291? All the effort put in by the Afghan batsmen (especially Ibrahim Zadran and Rashid Khan) was wasted by the pathetic performance form their bowlers.

Dropped catches to be blamed. If you drop a catch, aggresive approach is expected, it's free life.
