Today in the 14th match of the World Cup, two teams who have not seen a win in the World Cup tournament will face each other today. Australia and Sri Lanka played two matches each where they failed to collect any points. Although these two teams could not win in the first two matches, today either team is going to win this match. Sri Lanka's aggressive batting against Pakistan and South Africa has nothing to hold Sri Lanka back in this match but Sri Lanka's biggest problem is their bowling line-up. Sri Lanka may have come to the World Cup with the worst bowling lineup in this World Cup tournament because they can't win the match despite scoring 340 to 350 runs, it's completely the failure of the bowlers. Sri Lanka's batting line-up is strong but Australia will surely come back in this match as they have already lost their first two matches due to which they are at the bottom of the points table.
Yes the main reason for Sri Lanka team's failure is batting inning in past matches from Pakistan and South Africa teams and also they could not defend their big target. Sri Lanka team is in third position in the table stats at the bottom. Now, today match has been started between both teams Australia and Sri Lanka. Both these teams did not win any match in past. I really surprised from Australia team performance in this World Cup and also I also did not believe in my eyes that their performance was worst in both innings. Right now, Sri lanka batting inning is continuing and they scored 126 runs in 22 overs by lost one wicket. P.Nissanka and K.Perera their partnership was quite brilliant but after scoring 61 runs P.Nissanka dismissed by J.Hazlewood bowler.

Yes it is true that Sri Lanka bowling line up is very bad in this world cup. We have seen two matches both matches where Sri Lanka's bowling line-up was very poor. But if Sri Lanka can strengthen the bowling line-up today, then maybe today's match with Australia can be won. Meanwhile, Australia was once a very strong and dependable team, but in this World Cup, Australia has become a very weak team. Because Australia has played two matches in this World Cup and lost both of them. Both the teams will fight hard today in the fight for survival let's see which team will win the match. If I have to predict in advance then I can predict win for Australia. Otherwise I cannot predict for Sri Lanka.Australia is a strong team but they are not in good form now. Australia are at the bottom of the points table after losing their first two matches. So it cannot be said for sure whether Australia will be able to defeat the Sri Lankan team in today's match.
Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. Both the openers are batting responsibly. Sri Lanka collected 51 runs without losing a wicket in 10 overs of power play. Quite a good collection. If they can deliver a target of 280+ on this pitch, I think the Sri Lankan bowlers can dominate the match. But if Australia's batsmen return to form, the whole scenario can change.
Australia is a good team, but something is wrong happening within the team. It is not like the past, when someone wasn't able to contribute we can see the better performance coming from the upcoming players. Now things were not as that. Steady start and in the chase Australia should have similar pattern of scoring. Lets see if this gonna be a winning match that helps it move from the bottom position.

At one point, it looked as if Afghanistan may make 300. But they lost some quick wickets and then ended up with a total of 284. All credit goes to Rahmanullah Gurbaz BTW. Without him, Afghanistan would have never made such a competitive total. He started by attacking Chris Woakes and Sam Curran. Both these bowlers ended up with economy rates of more than 10 runs per over. He deserved a century, but got run out as a result of a mistake from the Afghan captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi. Then it was the turn of Ikram Alikhil to get Afghanistan to a decent total.
It's Afghanistan second highest total in world cup. When Gurbaz was on the crease 300 were on the cards but after he got out wickets start falling until Ikram Alikhil came for rescue. Good support from Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan towards the end. Mujeeb was man of the match but I think Gurbaz deserves this award since he is the one who laid the foundation of this victory.
I was thinking that Afghanistan will go above 300 runs and this will be a good target for England and little bit difficult to chase but Afghanistan made 284 runs. But they made this target difficult too. By their excellent bowling.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowled really well and got 3 3 wickets and Mujeeb Ur Rahman also the player of the match. He made 28 runs in batting too. Congratulations to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan beat the defending champions with both bat and ball to win their first World Cup match by 69 runs and they have done it against one of the tournament favourites, and the Current World Champions England. Afghanistan started well 121 runs partnership without loss of any wickets between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran and then crumbled in the middle overs to be later supported by Mujeeb and Rashid Khan with the bat and reached Afghanistan scored 284. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowled really well and got 3 3 wickets and Mujeeb Ur Rahman also the player of the match. He made 28 runs in batting too. Congratulations to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan bowling performance is also outstanding Mujeeb and Rashid bowl well and rolled through the England batting line up to give Afghanistan a massive massive victory by 69 runs. The whole stadium erupted with joy as Afghanistan felt like playing at home. Mujeeb get man of the match award for his amazing all round performance picked 3 important wicktes and scored runs and give victory to his team.

The start of Afghanistan was very good. It seemed that Afghanistan can give a big target of 300 runs to England in this match. But at the crucial time of the match, Afghanistan's wickets fell quickly, so Afghanistan could not reach the target given to us. Afghanistan did well in the last few overs which allowed them to set England a target of 285 runs. I always predicted England to win this match but unfortunately they lost this match unimaginably to Afghanistan. The ground in this match was a fully spin assisted pitch due to which Afghanistan's spinner bowlers were able to pick up quick wickets. In this match I prepared bet slip for betting but not approved. My luck was very good due to which I saved my fund in this match. But most of the people lost their bets on this match. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowled really well and got 3 3 wickets and Mujeeb Ur Rahman also the player of the match. He made 28 runs in batting too. Congratulations to Afghanistan.

Yesterday, Afghanistan proved that no team is a favorite on this stage of the World Cup, those who do well on the field will win the match. We were already in favor of England and we were sure that England would beat Afghanistan by a big margin but something contrary to our expectations happened in the last match. I think maximum people like me lost money yesterday betting on England.

Actually many shocked with the today game result,but the fact is the bowling of the Afghanistan was good enough.They had won the title winner of 2019.So this will made the England to move bottom of the table like Australia.If this was continues the Australia and England will not qualify for the semi final.England was the father of cricket game.If the Australia and England doesn’t qualify for the semi final,this will be huge insult to this team.So this two team need to improve their game in the upcoming games.The Afghanistan had really proved today,they are also had the good cricket game today.

Agree with you, although England was in the favorite team list to qualify for the semifinals easily. But now it looks like it is going to be difficult for them. India, NZ and SA are definitely favourite for the semifinals journey now. I didn't expect that England will lose today's match. A great performance from the Afghanistan team. The presence of Stokes wouldn't make much difference in today's match. The spinners have done well for both teams.
Yeah, definitely if stokes were included in their squad then may be result will be difficult because he is calm minded and never take pressure during difficult situation and can Handel situation, anyway Afghanistan makes a history by defeating first ever win against England in ODI world cup, I can't believe that they can brutally defeat such a strong side like England which was predicted by dozen of journalists as a strong contender of semifinals. All credit of this victory goes to spin trio of Afghanistan who took important wickets at right time and defend a decent target and also credit goes to gurbaz for spectacular inningI really missed Stokes and Moeen Ali in today's match. If these two players were present in this match, the result of the match might have been different. Stokes is an excellent batsman. And I have seen many times that Stokes is capable of batting responsibly under pressure. And he is also capable of batting at a smart strike rate. On the other hand since today's pitch was spin-friendly, I don't know why Moeen Ali was not kept in the squad. Moeen Ali is used to playing on Indian pitches. He performs regularly in IPL. So it was necessary to keep Moeen Ali in the squad on such a pitch. Hopefully we will see Stokes and Moeen Ali in the squad in the next match.
England's next match is against South Africa. South Africa is a very tough opponent. South African batsmen are in very good form. So it will be very difficult for England to win this match.
I am actually shocked to see the performance from England. Afghanistan did well to get 284. But I still would have said that their target was never going to be enough for them to win against England. But looking at the score right now, I am not so sure about that. Right now, the score is 160/6. Almost 33 overs have been played.
England needs more than seven runs per over to win. And now they have only four wickets in hand. It was actually seven down for England but they just used a review.
Well, as I was writing this, they lost another wicket anyway. So it is seven down for them. Right now, the score is 160/7 after exactly 33 overs.

Big day for Afghanistan as they've won the match against England by 69 runs. One of the unexpected result of the World Cup have taken place today. Batting from Gurbaz is really impressive and missed his century for an unwanted run out. Ikram Alikhil contributed good when the team kept losing wickets. 284 runs is really good and an unlucky day for England as it is second loss in the World Cup. Pacers and spin bowling had contributed equally. At the tail end Rashid Khan took the Wickets for a faster win. Other than Harry Brook no solid score came from England players being the reason for the loss.
I think most gamblers today lose their bets. Such a good performance from Afghanistan, again against a strong team like England, I think it was unexpected by most people. I think England's loss to Afghanistan could set England back a lot in this World Cup. As Afghanistan have been one of the weakest teams in this World Cup, and lossing with them, England's lack of points in the points table will certainly be noticeable.However, England's next matches are going to be against stronger team, so I think England lost a big advantage in this match. However today I will praise Afghanistan's batting performance more than their bowling performance. Because in this year's World Cup, it is seen that the run score is high in most of the teams. However, I would like to congratulate the Afghanistan team for their upcoming matches.
I never imagined that the batsmen of the England team would drop so much. Because England is currently a very strong team which lost by a huge margin to Afghanistan team. Everyone in the Afghanistan team has collected some runs, but the batting of the England team has not been able to score any runs. In this match, the Afghanistan team could not be under much pressure in terms of bowling due to which the players of the Afghanistan team collected a lot. Especially the start of wicket fall from the beginning of the game which forced the England team to lose.
Welp! There goes my awesome winning streak. The current World Cup champions are going to lose against Afghanistan which just goes to show the state of the England ODI team at present.
They are badly missing Stokes. Favorites to win the cup seem to be NZ, SA and India based on recent performances.
England does have a good team and the same members won them their first world cup, never saw this coming in this match, England loosing like this against Afghanistan but Afghanistan bowled really well and then recovered really well when the wickets started to tumble after their century opening partnership and if not for their tail end batsman there is no way they were reaching 250 let alone the score they posted. They are badly missing Stokes. Favorites to win the cup seem to be NZ, SA and India based on recent performances.
With this kind of bowling performance from Afghanistan, highly doubt Ben Stokes would have made any difference.

Tomorrow will be a match between Australia and Sri Lanka. Australia's batting is good enough to chase down good targets but don't know what they did in the previous match against India. Also, the Sri Lanka Cricket Team has a better batsman like Kusal Mendis who hits the most sixes and he is hitting after every 6 balls as an individual. We can see them at tomorrow's match at Ekana Sports City, Lucknow which is located in India. You can also watch live matches on different channels.
Both Australia and Sri Lanka lost their first two matches. And Australia is currently the last team in the points table. So the next match is very important for them. Australia will definitely try their best to qualify for the semi-finals.
The main reason for Australia's defeat in the first two matches was their batting weakness. Batsmen are not in good rhythm. So Australia lost badly in both matches. Sri Lanka's bowlers are quite good but their performances are erratic. South Africa scored the highest run in World Cup history against Sri Lanka. And so Australia has a good chance to win this match. I believe Australia will win only if the batsmen perform well.

Batting from Gurbaz is really impressive and missed his century for an unwanted run out.

No one expected Afghanistan to win today's match. Lots of gamblers lost bets today. This was a completely unexpected result. We did not perform well in the first two matches against Afghanistan. Even against Bangladesh, the team is playing very badly. On the other hand, after the defeat in the first match, England dominated and won the second match. No one would have guessed that they would play so badly in today's match. Also Afghanistan was not a strong team.
Both batsmen and bowlers of Afghanistan have done very well. A target of 284 runs can be said to be a big enough target on this pitch. The pitch was spin bowling friendly. Afghanistan's bowlers bowled controlled from the beginning of the innings. So they got a pretty easy win.
Tomorrow will be a match between Australia and Sri Lanka. Australia's batting is good enough to chase down good targets but don't know what they did in the previous match against India.
