I was expecting that they will be giving chances to youngsters but it was really surprising for me that they were having only one change today (Only Deepak Chahar got chance). It was expected to have multiple changes in both bowling and batting order and some people predicted like Rohit to lead the pointless match but India played like they are still in competition.
It is not a big surprise that we did not see any major changes in the team even though it was a meaningless one, the sole reason is the backlash they will get back home for not getting qualified and they need to play and satisfy the fans that the two looses were just bad luck and they played the last three matches as champions but they did that against lower level competition and these performances is more than enough to satisfy their die hard fans  Cheesy.

This combination might be exciting in management levels but India is already got lots of talents but for example, in this worldcup also only their toss and luck factors played the spoiler role. So, I guess Dravid and Dhoni got no big tasks ahead.
Toss was one of the factor for their loss but team selection is another major factor and lack of  match experience as a team before the T20 World Cup. Pakistan played as a team and they are the only undefeated team in the tournament.

Very well played team India. They have shown incredible improvement at the time of their exit. If they had played better in their opening matches then the situation would have been completely different. I understand there were certain factors involved like the toss but the biggest factor that led to this situation was the overconfidence of the Indian team.
Agreed, over confidence is the big mistake that Indian team had. During the days before the match of India majority of the media took this into discussion. The headlines were something as will Pakistan withstand the performance of India. This hype given by media too is a reason for having over confidence.

West Indies in the past have faced similar situation in 1983 world cup finals against India. The score was just 183 which was is reachable, but the over confidence made them loss the match scoring 140. By that time West Indies is the top team.

Today's match was really awesome. 3rd consecutive win. Though they are not into semi final, the performance in the last three games were fantastic from both batsmen and bowlers. Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Aswin, Sami, Bhumra and Jadega were awesome. Each contributed the best.

Dravid and Dhoni together guiding and training the Indian players will certainly bring out positive outcome. Whats your thought on it?

Although there is no importance for this match in this current context of the world cup but you should not miss the match because this is Virat Kholi last International T20 match. Keep aside the recent performance of India, he is one of the legend not in the Indian cricket but overall he is being loved and followed. India will miss him.

At least I won't be missing him. 4-5 years ago, he was among my favorite cricketers. But then he became arrogant and his focus was on things other than cricket. Then there were controversies related to selection. He used to ignore deserving players like Ashwin and give preference to useless ones like Hardik. I just hope that the new captain will be less biased. I don't have an idea on who is the replacement, but I guess Rohit Sharma is the most probable one. Hopefully he will stay away from controversy. 


Prabably yes Rohit Sharma would replace Kohli. Besides this, Rahul Dravid is going to be the coach henceforth. Whats your thought on it. Rahul Dravid has been a spoken person for managing the pressure situation. It would be really appriciative if Dhoni is kept as Mentor henceforth. Dravid and Dhoni together guiding and training the Indian players will certainly bring out positive outcome. Whats your thought on it?

I'm less interested in the match since there is no calculation following it. Namibia is facing India in a Twenty20 International for the very first time tonight. Could this lead to a famous upset? No chance. The Indian team is extremely strong. Namibia is an extremely weak opponent, and I expect India to win easily.

All quality teams in semifinal, and now it's anybody game because which team will play good on his day surely going to win. Three teams having 4 wins and only Pakistan with 5 wins in this round even it's first time in Pakistan cricket history they are going into semifinal with this advantage but as they have reputation of unpredictable team it's also now showing this all event they can win but now first facing Australia then winner of second semifinal is not easy for them.
Even i thought like that, Pakistan usually is inconsistent but in this series they are in top form, they improved a lot in their ground fielding and the batsman are playing well and they are a really strong team and they are the team to beat and i wont be surprised if they win the cup because the pitch is helping spinners and they have talented spinners and all rounders in their team and Shoaib Mailk and Mohammad Hafeez are their main players.

Very decent effort from Namibia against a strong Indian bowling lineup. They managed a total of 132/8, although none of the batsmen made a 30 plus score. Shami and Chahar gave away 69 runs in their 8 overs, but the remaining bowlers were very economical. BTW, I heard that the Pakistani players visited the Namibian dressing room after the match between them and offered support. This is a great gesture, and very significant at a time when the pig-4 teams do their best to deny smaller teams what they deserve.

India will play the only match of the day against Namibia. The match is unnecessary for both teams. India has no chance of going to the next round. However, Namibia can surprise everyone by performing well in today's match. Namibia has performed well enough in every match of the World Cup. I don't think they will win today, but they will play well against strong India.

Update: India won the toss and chose to bat first.

Namibia collected 35/2 in 7 overs. Namibia lost their first wicket by 33 runs in 4.4 overs. And they collected only 2 runs in the last 14 balls. I didn't think that Namibia win this match. But I thought they would play well. And Namibia started their innings very well. But now looking at their batting style, it seems that they will not be able to collect even 100 runs.

I don't think Namibia will show any surprises. India will win this match, and will win by spreading dominance. My guess is that if India get a chance to bat first, they will win by at least 80 runs. However, the performance of Namibia as a new team in this World Cup is certainly commendable.

^^ Only 11-ish months left for the next T-20 WC lol

ICC could have wait and at least keep 2 years gap in each T-20 World cup but no they were in hurry to replace Champions trophy. I heard that after 2 back to back WC they are planning to bring back CT again, confused bunch of group indeed.

In today match Shoaib Mailk and Mohammad Hafeez both were really on top with their all experience it's surely good advantage for them as well.

No doubt in that. All 4 are quality teams and the matches will be very close. All four teams have the capability to win the trophy, on their day.

BTW, West Indies and Sri Lanka will be playing in the qualifying round of the next T20 World Cup (in 2022), as they finished at the 10th and 9th ranks respectively in the ICC ratings. Namibia and Scotland will join them in the qualifier stage, while 4 other teams will qualify though the global qualifiers. Afghanistan and Bangladesh have gained direct entry to the Super 12 stage.

Australia is nowhere near the strength of the team they once were, Pakistan is having the advantage here and i will be surprised if they do not win the match. In the past Australia was a formidable team against any opponent and they had world class players who could change the match but that is not the case now and in the T20 format anything is possible but i think England and Pakistan will play in the final.

Though In T20 cricket stats doesn't matter . But Pakistan team is really in good form now and their team is so much stable in this tournament and have home advantage as well . And right now Pakistan is the only team to remain unbeatable in this world cup.If they can continue playing like this then hopefully they can probably win this world cup.

Maybe you are right Pakistan can win but still Australia vs Pakistan has never been easy game for any team because these both teams have some good rivalry in ICC events and most of the time in important stages Pakistan chokes against them like we have in 1999 ODI CWC and then twenty/20 World Cup where Hussey hits 4 sixes to Saeed Ajmal, it's anybody game I am feeling Australia can do some better in second semifinal New Zealand is also good side they also have some special affair with England so for me both games are wide open for any team which will play good on his day will go into final and have trophy.

Just a prediction Australia vs Pakistan winner surely going to win this trophy Wink Smiley.

Not going to deny the fact that Australia is in good form. During the last match, Warner just destroyed the West Indies bowling. Mitchell Marsh also scored a half-century in that match. Now their worry would be the bowling. Mitchell Starc is having a very bad patch right now. Josh Hazlewood is taking wickets, but he is not being economical. Pat Cummins also is not in his peak form. They will be facing Pakistan in the semi-finals. I would say that the chance is higher that Pakistan would win this match. Playing at Dubai is like home match for Pakistan.

In all probability, the final is going to be between Pakistan and England. England and Pakistan will top their respective groups, and their semi-final opponents are likely to be New Zealand and Australia respectively. Semi-finals are going to be easy for both these teams. And for Pakistan, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. They want to take revenge on England, for pulling out of the tour earlier this year. And having seen their performance so far, I would say that for me it looks very likely that Pakistan will win the trophy.
Really? You think this even after South Africa has beaten England in that group? I think semi final is going to be too close, not at all easy for any team. Comparing groups stage with knockout is entirely different, many big teams choke in the knock out pressure and many play really well in the same pressure. Pakistan's bowling is best among 4 while England have the best batting among 4. I think this would be an interesting contest right till the end. Too early to speculate the winner.
