South Africa gave only a target of 119 runs. Australia needs less than 6 runs per over to win. South Africa lost their first wicket by 13 runs at the start of the match. They lost 3 wickets in 23 runs. After that they could not come in the truck. Throughout the match, we have seen the dominance of the Australian bowlers. Australia seemed weak before the World Cup, but looking at their performance in today's match, it seems that they are the favorites of this World Cup.

RSA used to have zero black players in there team in 90s AFAIK, check there team when Hansie Cronje was there captain. This quota system may be bad but its introduced so that native South Africans (the blacks) must have representation in the national team. Its also a matter of fact that blacks don't have adequate facilities compared to whites, that's why they cant compete with white cricketers.
It is a fact that in the early 90s the South African team did not have black players and you need to remember that South Africa was reinstated to play cricket in 1991 and the players in the team were native South Africans and their first black player was Makhaya Ntini and he was in the team because of his talents.RSA used to have zero black players in there team in 90s AFAIK, check there team when Hansie Cronje was there captain.

South Africa and Australia are playing and South Africa is struggling like i expected and this is a match for Australia to win unless we see some magical spell from South African bowlers.
Today's second match could be more interested because both teams are level in quality, may be England will be some better because their recent record is also better than West Indies.

Faf, AB, Tahir and Chris Morris must be sitting in their shorts, sipping wine and on zoom call talking with each other. Did selectors left you too?

Despite their recent statistics, Australia should win today's match against South Africa. The Aussies are a good team, but they need to prove themselves in the UAE. However, the SA team also has strong spin bowlers, so they are my favorite too.
Yeah, I have placed my bet on Australia as my prediction is also exact same as you. Notoriously South Africa is always known for not performing up to their true potential at all major tournaments which must be the simple reason for me to pick Australia blindly for today's first match.For second match, even I am expecting England to revenge their lose at the final of last edition of T20 world cup, I decided not to bet on any team as West Indies may show up their majestic all of sudden. Morgon's current form must be a worrying sign on England side so leaving off without betting on any side randomly must be too good for my coins.
Look like you made the right bet on Australia. South Africa are really struggling in the match and have already lost three wickets. Mitchell Starc started off with an expensive over but the captain replaced him with Hazlewood who took 2 wickets in two overs. I had hopes with South African captain Temba Bavuma, but he wasn't able to perform either.
Top 3 batsmen gone for SA and Aussies on full control here.
But does talent need a quota? The board need to hunt for talent rather than having a quota in sports. If you do not have talent but you get selected because of the quota then will the performance of the team increase or decrease? I am against the quota system in sports, there are other ways to provide quota. This is why teams from the African subcontinent are struggling so much.

"The current quota (applicable to the season rather than each match) is that the Proteas must play six POCs, three of whom must be black (this, recently increased from two)."Source

Australia will face South Africa in the first match of the World Cup Super 12 tomorrow. It is impossible to say which team will win. Australia has recently lost in the T20 series against a team like Bangladesh. On the other hand, South Africa's performance in their last T20 matches has been stable. However, Australia is an experienced team. They certainly don't want to start the World Cup mission with defeat. The match will be very competitive.
Australia is certainly the favorites for the match even if their recent performance against Bangladesh was at par. Today we also have another match between West Indies and England. This match will be even more competitive as both teams are strong and we should not consider West-Indies team as a weak team in T20.

You maybe right in the case of South Africa, but not about the other teams. In Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya they don't have any quota system. Whites are only around 10% of the population in Namibia, and they comprise a majority of the players. And anyway most of the whites in Namibia are German or Dutch, and cricket is not the no.1 sport for them. David Wiese is representing Namibia, because his father was born in Namibia (German speaking). Being an ex-German colony, it is odd that Namibia is progressing in a sport that is mostly confined to ex-British colonies.
Zimbabwe's career was very good. They have been destroyed only because of the internal troubles of their management and because of the stupidity of the management. Their team had lots of talented players. Many players retire due to management problems and it also hinders the creation of talented new young players. If Namibia's management is experienced, and they really want to improve their domestic cricket, then maybe in the future they will be able to challenge teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
Currently, in African continent the biggest issue is quota system which is hurting them very badly in Southern African side because their blacks are in majority but hey are lacking of facilities and many other things now have power but still unable to do some better things. Whites are minorities but still dominant in all ways. Zimbabwe and South Africa also having same issues but fail to change things on merit same problem will be accord in here if they want to bring some good quality and better results than they need to start from very low level and give equal chances to all without any quota or any restriction.But does talent need a quota?

I did not expect Namibia to win today and i thought Ireland will loose like that but David Wiese produced a good all round performance to hold Ireland scoring a big total and they were able to chase that easily and the other match that surprised me is the Netherlands match against Sri Lanka, the match are becoming spin friendly and it was a lopsided victory for Sri Lanka
The main battle starts tomorrow with England and West Indies. My pick is England to win but you never know how West Indies will perform as they have some world class T20 players.
Today Ireland vs Namibia was really shocking match because Ireland was hot favorite to win, but their recent form was not good on other side Namibia was doing good specially their all-rounder David Wiese was in good touch which helps them for qualifying in main round of this world cup.The main battle starts tomorrow with England and West Indies. My pick is England to win but you never know how West Indies will perform as they have some world class T20 players.
Now tomorrow we have very exciting day as first match is going to be played between Australia vs South Africa where Australia is favorite, but their form is not good on other side South Africa is still having many issues but doing good let's watch what happen. In second match England vs West Indies it's also very exciting match where England is hot favorite for this match and their form is also good, hopefully they will start their campaign in good way.

I think Namibia reaching the super 12 is going to be historic for the country, it was their first T20 world cup appearance and they really did their best in it, last they had played world cup in 2003 I remember in which they didn't win any match, but this time they were able to defeat two pioneers of associate cricket, Ierland and Netherlands both of which teams have immense experience playing the world cups, now if they can give atleast 1 or 2 more setbacks in upcoming round, they would definitely be remembered in the history of cricket and this could be a start of a new era of cricket in the country.
Namibia is not new country in cricket world because once they already played in CWC2003, and they were good but having some serious domestic issues they were unable to carry on like they started many players playing counties in different countries, but recently they have done some good again and having in T20 CWC is massive achievement for them.Now they are going to face some giants in this game which will give them some good experience. They have chance of winning a match against Scotland, all other teams are very balanced and have good enough squads. So they have very few chances against big giants, but Scotland match could be good for them.

Maybe Namibia is playing well, but their players are not experienced. If we compare with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The Sri Lankan team is now weak because management has failed to find a suitable replacement for them after their experienced players retired. Now there are a lot of inexperienced players in the team. On the other hand, although there are many talented players in the Bangladesh team, their performance is not regular. This is the main problem of the team. However, their young players are playing quite well.
Namibia current form is good, and they can do some good as they have few very aggressive and good players, but I am not agreed about their bright future because we have some very good performance from Kenya and Zimbabwe but sadly after very short period these both teams disappear from sight and currently Namibia is also in same way their local setup is not good enough like South Africa which can bring some good talented players they need to do some good work for this all right now main problem is their quota system and restrictions between white and black players it's really hurting their all system very badly if these countries can settle these things then surely they will be able to have some good future in cricket.Zimbabwe's career was very good.

Today first round is ended with four teams are now in main round Scotland, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and Namibia done good job for their place in main round now we have first game of main round on Saturday 23 October 2021 Australia vs South Africa very exciting match Both teams have some good and quality players but with many issues on and off the fields around them as well hopefully this will be good start for them, and we will have very good game.
Second match is also very good England vs West indies both teams are very good but for me England is in some better shape as they have very good combination of good players those are capable of giving them good start for another world cup victory after have ODI world cup at home.
This a historic moment for Namibia to beat the Ireland and reach the last 12 teams. David Wiese showed an all-around performance both in the batting and bowling. Disappointment for Ireland not been able to qualify.

The second match for today is about to start now and it won't have any effect on the points table. Srilanka should easily win it.
Namibia played really well in the match against Ireland. They reached the top 12 and it's actually good for them in the long run. They will eventually find more players if they play better like this. It's good to see more and more teams being interested in cricket. Hope there will be a lot more teams participating in the world cup soon.
And the 2nd match today is not so important and Sri Lanka is just the better team in this match and they should win easily.
Sri Lanka have been able to improve their bowling unit to the impossible. Even a few days ago we saw Sri Lanka's poor performance. But now their performance in collaboration with the bowlers is very good. Since the pitches are spin-friendly, and the Sri Lankan spinners are talented enough. So if the batsmen can play well, then Sri Lanka can win several matches in the World Cup.
LOL.. Netherlands probably had their worst match ever in T20 World Cup. From what I heard, they had some selection issues, especially related to the pace bowlers. Some of the players were released by their respective counties, so that they could represent their motherland in the world cup. But that represented a dilemma for the Dutch captain, as he can't drop top performers to accommodate the county players. Netherlands, along with Papua New Guinea were the disappointments so far in the tournament. I didn’t expect the Netherlands to win the match or they could go to the next round. But I did not expect them to lose all the matches. Namibia showed surprise. One would think that they would be able to qualify for the main draw of the World Cup. My guess was that Sri Lanka and Ireland would qualify for the World Cup qualifiers.

It's been a spectacular performance for Sri Lankan team in the qualification round so far. This is a complete new Sri Lanka in the T20 WorldCup. It is a magical improvement in every department. With a dominating performance in the opening round of the T20 WorldCup, Sri Lanka enters the Super 12s. As of now, I believe it was indeed stupid to put Sri Lanka through qualifying. A better team would have qualified. Their destruction level was shown, and this is an attitude that needs to be upheld.
