The way Scottish bowlers  bold proves how much these guys lack experience. They were completely confused and had no idea what to do? This why small teams like Scotland need more matches with big team. They need to play more tournaments. I have only seen them play in ICC events.

They are just part time cricketers. They play when they are granted leave from their full-time job. So you can't really expect them to perform at the level of professionals. On top of that, for the last two decades the ICC has drastically reduced funding for the associate nations. And these guys get an opportunity to play against a test playing nation once every 4 years or so (if they manage to qualify for the ICC tournaments). The ODI world cup is now limited to just 10 countries, so T20 World cup is the only avenue that is left for them.

It was a fantastic game from Indian players. Jadega, Sami have taken 3 wickets each and Bhumrah as well have taken 2 wickets and at last 1 wicket from Aswin. Rahul was on fire, hitting his 50 in just 18 runs. Rohit's 30 adding to their fastest partnership in 5 overs. Though India has played well in last two games, its going to be really challenging in the upcoming match.
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma took out the poor bowlers and they had no idea where to bowl and if they played attacking cricket in the first two matches they will not be in a situation of watching other teams compete to get a chance to play in the semi finals. The challenge for India is New Zealand and Afghanistan and when these team play the fan will be watching the match as New Zealand who is in good form needs to loose for India to have a chance  Cheesy.

However, now the only way for India to reach the semi-finals is if New Zealand lose their next match. If New Zealand does not lose, India will be eliminated in the first round.
New Zealand is in good form and it is impossible see a situation that they will loose the match against Afghanistan. Yes Afghanistan has good spin bowlers but it is a hard task and even if Afghanistan want to qualify for the semi finals, they need to defeat them by a huge margin as the net run rate is behind and hence the pressure will be on them.

Two impressive win by India against small teams but it is too late, one more match and play some impressive shots and travel back home Cheesy.

Actually the only reason where I feel Afghans have a better hand is the spin department, they have atleast 3 quality spinners and at the same time New Zealand team doesn't really have batters who are great players of spin, except Kane himself, other players don't play spin too well especially against bowlers that can spin both ways. But last time on this pitch of Abu Dhabi the bowlers weren't able to spin the bowl that well, I am sure it won't be a one sided affair but honestly NZ have a very good chance considering their current form.

In several tournaments India has reached such situation, and no tournament have given hands to India depending on other team for its entry to the next round. This time too, there is expectation that New Zealand getting defeated by Afghanistan. In reality New Zealand is in good form and Afghanistan can't make a win as some Indians except.

Last two matches were really impressive from India, they played with courage. Same as this if they've faced the first two matches, atleast both matches could've turned to be a fighting match than a one sided match.

There is nothing to think that we will see an upset in any of the matches, the top two teams qualify and it is hard for India to get qualified unless they win by huge margin and the next two games for both New Zealand and India are not big challenges and considering Pakistan already confirmed their qualification, it is a battle between New Zealand and India to get the next spot and i believe New Zealand will be the other team and in the other group England and Australia will be teams to get qualification.
New Zealand will qualify if they win today against Namibia and win against Afghanistan in the next match. In that case, NZ will have 4 wins. So, India won't have any chance to qualify if NZ wins both matches. India will have 3 wins if they get victory in the next two games. Huge margin will not make any difference then. Australia will face a weak opponent and South Africa will face a strong opponent. Australia has the most possibility to qualify for the semifinal.
It is now a matter of shame that 'hosts' India will suffer an early exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The Indian cricketers have been severely criticized after two humiliating defeats in Dubai, UAE. It is almost impossible for the Indian cricket team to make the semi-finals, as they need the generosity of other teams. Afghanistan needs to win against New Zealand next, and then run rate becomes a major factor. Although the hope may still be alive, yet not handy.

Maybe India have lost two matches, and they have lost badly. But we must admit that India is a very strong team. And they have lots of talented players. Unfortunately they have been defeated. However, now the only way for India to reach the semi-finals is if New Zealand lose their next match. If New Zealand does not lose, India will be eliminated in the first round.

The match between Afghanistan and newzealand will be played in the afternoon and with Rashid khan and other fast bowlers, i think it will be an interesting match. I think Afghanistan can make an upset in this match because by winning that match, it will not only open a gateway for india but what if they themselves qualifies for the semi finals.

Both Namibia and Afghanisthan teams are no match for the NZ team. They will easily win today's match with Namibia and the same is applicable for India too as they are playing against Scotland. I think if India needs to enter the semifinals then they need to win by a big margin in all the matches. That should give them some chance.

Are you sure Namibia and Afghanistan are underdog? You must have missed match b/w Pakistan/ Afghanistan and also todays Namibia bowling. Thanks to Phillips/Neesham partnership NZ manage to score 162 against Namibia otherwise NZ would have scored 130 or 140.



Making few individual performances or wining one match does not change their tag from underdog to a consistent good team. Both of these teams showed good performances but they still need experience to finish the match with a win. Tournaments like these help them excel in future.

Obviously yes, there is just like a 10% chance that India could qualify for the SEMIS which is dependent upon NewZealnad either losing from Afghanistan which is unlikely or New Zealand losing to Namibia which is practically too difficult, even though they struggled a bit today against Scotland but managed to win the match comfortably at the end so I doubt New Zealand would lose any of the matches also if it does lose, the second requirement is that it has to lose with a good enough margin so that India's NRR too lands up above both NZ and Afghanistan. Obviously the whole country wants this to happen but practically it might be impossible.

For sure, it is impossible for Indian to reach the semi finals by their own strength and New Zealand will not lose against the weak teams.

But what if Indian cricket board BCCI could send again the fake emails and New Zealand leaves the UAE because of the security concerns.  Cheesy
They could try this tactic again because they were successful in this previously.  Cool
haha I love how jealous the whole of Pakistan is of the popularity of BCCI.  Grin  Grin I hope post this jealousy they are able to introspect into the geopolitics of their own country and try not to give any safe havens to anarchist organizations. Any country/ Board believes in such fake emails only because they know that this country has a history of such attacks. No cricketer has ever forgotten what happened to the Sri Lankan team in 2009. Anyways if PCB wants to take it as a joke and blame it on other countries let it be. Even if Pakistan wins the world cup(I hope they do they have been playing really this time), I am pretty sure these things aren't going to change for Pakistan.


You are much better among your fellow Indians nationals who at least have confessed that BCCI send the fake emails. No one is jealous of BCCI but the whole country is furious on BCCI doing such cheap acts. BCCI should be ashamed of themselves.
Secondly those attacks were in 2009 and 12 years have past by now and things have completely changed now. Try to make a better reason next time or will you use this excuse forever  Cheesy

Cricket is an old funny game, how can you be sure we don't see any upset in coming matches. There are many upsets missed by just few runs n wickets in this WC.

Despite being eliminated, Sri Lanka's performance throughout the T20 tournament was impressive. Hasaranga is poised to become a major cricketing star. His performance in the shorter format is what made him the number one. Nice to see some new talent in the Sri Lankan team. Hopefully Sri Lanka will produce more great players in the future. We may see Sri Lanka winning global tournaments again in the next decade if these players live up to their potential.

India must win today against Scotland. Either way they will win. We have seen the match between Afghanistan and India. Many say the match has been fixed. India needs a win, moreover, the players have returned to form through the match against Afghanistan. If India gets a chance to bat first against Scotland, they will give more than 180 targets. Namibia, on the other hand, had a great performance against Pakistan. They will fight against New Zealand in today's match too. The match will not be easy for New Zealand.

I think it all depends on NZ vs Afghanistan game, if NZ wins then they will qualify for the semis on point basis provided they also win against Namibia.
India is a bit late in getting there wining form, they can easily win there remaining matches against Namibia n Scotland. Even then they lag behind NZ on points.

Scotland is the same team that went down by a massive margin of 130 runs against Afghanistan (25th October). Their players don't participate in the IPL or the other franchise T20 leagues around the world and therefore we can't expect them to have the necessary experience in playing against big sides. And the Indian team always perform their best against minnows like Namibia and Scotland (although against stronger sides it is a different story). If India is batting first, then I expect them to win by >100 runs.

I agree with you too. If India bat first, they will win by more than 100 runs. They have this ability. My guess is that in today's match, India will get a chance to bat first, even if Scotland wins the toss, they will decide to bowl first. India will bat first, and if their luck is good, India will give a huge target of more than 210 runs and Scotland will lose all their wickets before 100 runs. Lets see what will happen.
