With this result, India is through Semis and now all eyes are on the virtual quarter-final between Ban vs Pak.

The way things are unfolding in every match. It looks just perfect, we can count one sided contests on one hand. No doubt this is by far one of the most competitive World cup.
Recently we have enjoyed a very competitive Asia Cup, now we are watching a competitive world cup. This is the real fun of short format cricket game. Some weak team has showed unexpected performance in this world cup too.SA and India should cross the line but still, everything is possible in a short format. 20-30 mins of bad cricket and you're gone. No one can take things for granted.
Yep, both of them have weak opponents for the last match. I believe South Africa and India will qualify for the semi final by wining against their opponents easily. I'm expecting a competitive game between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Guess no one expecting any upset today and it does look like England is about to qualify for semis in group 1 due to the run rate.
Sri Lanka had some chance as it was a batting pitch and they did get off with an excellent start but they literally threw it away in the middle overs and failed to recover.
You were almost wrong. Sri Lanka almost kicked England out of the tournament towards the end, but they failed and this implies that the current T-20 World Champ(Australia) are out. Stokes saved his team once again by playing till the end. Sri Lanka had some chance as it was a batting pitch and they did get off with an excellent start but they literally threw it away in the middle overs and failed to recover.
Two spots have been taken by NZ and ENG and two spots are remaining. Let's see if SA and IND will take them without any drama.

Rashid Khannn! Wow! This gem of a man injured himself in the last match and returned to deliver this kind of performance which almost helped his team win against mighty Australia. What a player!
Actually, the whole team performed really well in this match, at least they did their quota of 1 tight match per tournament.These guys bowled really well at the death overs too. Aussies were cruising towards 190-200 runs score easily but Afgan's fast bowlers did an extremely good job against Wade, Stonis and Maxi.
Margin points ufff.

Pakistan has another option to qualify for semi-final. In that case, South Africa vs Netherlands match need be abandoned for rain. Then Pakistan need victory against Bangladesh with a good margin. The equation looks funny though 
Great point. I completely forgot about the rain factor. Pakistan should only blame themselves for depending on miracles in order to move forward in the tournament. 
My prediction could've won, if the openers Stirling and Balbirnie have created 100+ partnership. Santner made a good comeback in his second over. Anyhow upcoming match is going to be very interesting. Australia needs to win the match by 62 runs or within the 13th over to have high net runrate. Expecting some thrashing performance from Australia. Afghanistan too will give a hard competence.
Lol. It's not that simple. Is this your first Superbru pool? Players get awarded extra points for semi-finals and finals which is why everyone in the pool still have a good chance of winning.
Well, this is the first time I'm participating in Superbru pool. I thought that there won't be option to make predictions for semi-finals and final. The round 5 matches will be less competitive, but the semi finals and final will be competitive for sure.They still won't qualify for the semis though since they require India and South Africa to lose their respective matches against ZIM and NED which obviously won't happen.
Pakistan has another option to qualify for semi-final. In that case, South Africa vs Netherlands match need be abandoned for rain. Then Pakistan need victory against Bangladesh with a good margin. The equation looks funny though legendary

You are having good run both in the pool and in gambling LOL
Enjoy until you get burst :-P
I have been burst in soccer. Got more than 10x from the initial deposit from cricket but lost them all in soccer, sadly.Enjoy until you get burst :-P
I don't know the rules when to start play after rain but the field so much wet to start the play. Liton Das got slipped in the first ball and the run out was also a result of slipping.
After losing the match it all considers as excuse. They are professional players and should know what to do on the pitch. As far as we know he was running on grass. I saw first half of the match then did not find it interesting anymore after seeing such a big score from India.They still won't qualify for the semis though since they require India and South Africa to lose their respective matches against ZIM and NED which obviously won't happen.
Hang on. Haven't we seen some upset already in this world cup?
Pakistan decimated South Africa surprisingly. I expected them to win comfortably, but not so easily. The odds for Pakistan in this match were close to 3 in some sites which is amazing value.

Hate to say but this shit show was expected from Bangladeshi middle orders and when it comes to take a decision on who to play, when to play, Bangladeshi management is one of the worst.
Anyway, it was a bad day like we had every time against India. Good luck to India. Hopefully they will make the name for Asia.

Das slipping out might be a reason for his runout but I'd call it him unlucky because it's usually the fielding sides that are at a disadvantage when the outfield is wet.
Tbh it was really a Bangladesh match. When you are chasing 80-ish run in 9 overs and 10 wickets at the bank, also consider the wet ball for bowlers and the wet field for fielders. You'd always back the chasing team but damn that's some shaky middle order with weird shot selections, props to Indian bowlers for handling the pressure after Litton Das's exploit in the powerplay.
Bet on Zimbabwe for the first time in this tournament and got screwed thanks to Netherlands whooping them pretty comfortably. Zimbabwe is over-dependent on batsmen like Williams and Raza which is their primary weakness.
Also, I expected India to decimate Bangladesh, but didn't expect them to win narrowly by such a small margin. Das getting run out proved to be the game-changing moment. Looks like India has qualified for the semi-finals.

BTW, you will stay in the top of Superbru pool until the end of the contest if you make another perfect prediction tomorrow. The 5th round matches are easy to make the right prediction. Because, each match will be played between one weak team and one strong team.

Although the middle order batsmen has performed badly, but Shanto is primarily responsible for today's lose. Litton Das had done more than enough to chase the big target. Shoriful Islam was taken in the squad as a replacement of Soumya to make the bowling section strong, but he has destroyed the bowling lineup of Bangladesh. The supporters and spectators has enjoyed the game.Anyway, it was a bad day like we had every time against India. Good luck to India. Hopefully they will make the name for Asia.

Phew!
After India's inning, I didn't expect a close fight from the Bongs but Das had other ideas. Rain almost ruined our campaign as Bongs were ahead of us, that's why power-play firework is so much important. India could have bottled up with just 4 points due to DLS.
Guess Das's runout by KL was the turning point, it was still Bangladesh's game tho, considering they had 9 wickets left but they always choke against India. Bongs really need to learn how to cross a finish line when playing against India, their fans deserve this.

I even had got a nice odd for Netherland to win. @2.82 at the very beginning of the match, I think it was quite good and placed my bets. So far, it is an easy win for Dutch unless they messed with losing wickets.
3rd wicket gone.

In today's match everyone have chosen Zimbabwe to win the match. Little Mouse alone chosen Netherlands to win the match. The target of 117 is easy to reach. In its previous match Zimbabwe bowled well against Pakistan and won the match. In today's match how things gonna work is simply unpredictable. Lets wait for the outcome.

In the Match, India vs South Africa everyone selected India to win the match. Mahdirakib is the only person chosen South Africa to win the match. Good prediction that have moved him to the top. It was India to win the match, major mistakes on drops and run out miss gave the momentum to South Africa. Somehow India took the match till the last over, and finally it was a 5 wickets win for South Africa.
The match between India and South Africa was dramatic. Indian players dropped some easy catches and missed some easy opportunities to make run out. I'm down to the 3rd rank now for making two bad predictions today. I thought that Afghanistan and New Zealand will win against their respective opponents. Unfortunately both of them lost the matches. I think that India will easily win against Bangladesh tomorrow. Jump to:
