On SA, doesn't look right when 6th wicket falls and bowler starts coming in; as in Keshav Maharaj coming in at the fall of 6th wicket. This lack of in-depth batting should bite SA once they are out of group stage.
Their 15 men squad [1] also doesn't have anyone that can fill this spot.

In the 18th match of West Indies vs Uganda team, West Indies team won by 134 runs. West Indies team came to bat and gave a target of 173 runs after losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. Uganda team players did not do well today. Uganda team in bowling line and batting. Lost the match to spoil it. Uganda team came out to bat and got all out in 12 overs scoring only 39 runs.
Although this is the first time that the Ugandan team has participated in cricket at the international level. So I think it is normal for them to perform poorly, because the West Indies team is very strong here. In this match, the bowling performance of the Ugandan team could not be good, especially patient batsman is lacking. The most wickets fell in the power play which led to the biggest margin in the match and no other team was bowled out for fewer runs, being bowled out for just 39 runs and losing by 134 runs to Uganda.

West Indies team is very strong in cricket game and they have aggressive batting and bowling in their team. The proof of that happened with the Ugandan team, although the West Indies batted first in this match and managed to score 173 runs. But when the Ugandan team came up with a batting performance later, they got out easily, the West Indies team won by 134 runs. Often the Ugandan team goes all out in the power play, they have performed so poorly and this season is new so it's normal. Because in order to perform with strong teams here, it must be performed by experienced players. That is why the Ugandan team has been identified as one of the teams that lost by the most margin this season.
Today's match between Uganda vs West Indies was really funny. Especially the West Indies team made a huge score by batting in the first innings to meet the target of 173 runs. Although in this T20 World Cup we can see that West Indies team is very strong and they are performing well in every match. But in today's match played well against Uganda but Ugandan team didn't play very well because Ugandan team is not so strong and they are not so experienced in cricket. But it was really funny that 39 runs all out after 12 overs played, the bowling performance of West Indies team was so great that Uganda team did not even manage to get half a run. Moreover, Akeal Hosein was in great bowling form in this match. He is a great bowler and managed to take five wickets. Of course, it is a lot of joy for West Indies. Uganda team lost by a huge margin of 134 runs it is really sad for the team as they lost by a huge margin against West Indies.
In the match of New Zealand vs Afghanistan team, I did not think that the New Zealand team will lose the match so badly. I thought that the New Zealand team might be able to do something better in today's match. But the New Zealand team could not do anything for the good performance of the players of the Afghanistan team. The New Zealand team went into bat and lost 75 runs for 10 wickets in 15.2 overs.
The 14th match between Afghanistan and new Zealand was took place at Providence stadium. Afghanistan won this 14th game by 84 runs against Bangladesh team. Afghanistan made in this game total 159 runs record and this was not a big target for New Zealand but disappointing moment was that New Zealand did not chase and lost. New Zealand made only 75 runs and lost game by 84 runs. New Zealand won the toss buts batting chance first give to Afghanistan for seeing their target. I hope new Zealand will play better game in the next T20 World cup matches. Afghanistan played a very good match. The performance of Afghanistan team in the match was full strength and energy. The Afghanistan best batting performance in the man team was displayed by rahmanullah gurbaz and he made 80 runs and 56 balls hitting 5 fours and 5 sixs. New Zealand is a great team and also has the potential to win but need more hardworking. Afghanistan playing amazing and their bowlers displayed superb amazing performance. Best of luck Afghanistan, New Zealand and other teams
West Indies vs Uganda
Pakistan vs India
Oman vs Scotland
West Indies is playing really well in today match. They have made 100 runs in almost 12 overs and they lost only two wickets. If they will continue playing like this so I think they can go above 180 runs. And 180+ runs target will be a tough target for Uganda team and I think they will not be able to chase that target so we can expect a win by West Indies. Pakistan vs India
Oman vs Scotland
And you mentioned Pakistan Vs India match so I think India will win today match easily because at this time Pakistani team performance is not admirable because they have lost from USA team so how can we expect a win from Indian team. By the way we can't say anything. Pakistan can give a surprise too.
Today T20 World Cup Matches
There are three matches today.
West Indies vs Uganda
Pakistan vs India
Oman vs Scotland
First match is already started and West Indies won the toss and chose to bat first and they are playing at this time they have played 5 overs and they have made 41 runs with one wicket loss. We know that West Indies is much stronger as compare to Uganda so I hope West Indies will win the match.
Second match is match is very important especially for Pakistan. If Pakistan will win today match so they have the chances to qualify for the Super 8 otherwise they will not have any chances. And we know that India Pakistan match always be exciting. So let's see who will perform well.
And in the third match we can't predict that which team will win exactly because both teams have equal stats. I hope Oman will perform well and win the match.

On basically the first clash of major teams, Australia met with England in group B. England winning the toss made Australia bat first and Australian batsmen started the game in a fast pace. Even though non of the batsmen made huge runs or stayed very long but all of them scored with a high strike rate. They made a large score of 201 at the end of 20th over. English batsmen chasing a large target of 202 were not able to keep up with the strike rate. Even though many of them were in crease for longer.
This loss is specially bad for England as they had one of their match abandoned without points. This equals to two loss for them even when its the first game they played.

Netherlands vs South Africa 16th match of two teams has already started. Netherlands team came to bat and gave a target of 103 runs in 20 overs.The South African team now came down to bat and collected 22 runs for 4 wickets in 7.5 overs.Now let's see how well Netherlands can do in bowling.If Netherlands team can do well in bowling line then it will be difficult for South Africa team to win this match.
David Miller was the best performer in this match, the only reliable and aggressive batting performance from the South African team. If you notice, you can see that the South African team was under heavy wicket pressure at the start, David Miller scored 59 runs from 51 balls. Seen here, he put in a very patient batting performance where David Miller remained calm even after the unique player got out.
I am enjoying the Netherlands vs South Africa match now. South African players are performing well. Netherlands team won their first match against Nepal. However, the chances of Netherlands winning against a big team like South Africa is very low. South Africa has a strong squad and South Africa is a very experienced team. South African fielders are doing excellent fielding. The bowling of the bowlers is also very controlled. South Africa won the toss and decided to field.
It was already expected that south Africa Gona tease the Netherlands as because Netherlands were not going currently with one of this best form and that why we unable to have seen his strength the way they have shown in previous world cups against South Africa and some other countries. As after scoring a very low target I taught it gona be 10 wickets victory for South African team or may be 9 wickets victory but thier current performance really shown thier how sick Thier team are, let's be honest if they can lose around 6 wickets against Netherlands to chased 100 around target then how they will pass Australian, Indian , Paksitani, Bangladeshi bowling lineup while having a target of more them 180. So my believe is south Africa Gona easily kick out of the tournament too soon in early stage if they unable to get his rythm back. Anyway congratulations to them for victory

The Netherlands is under a lot of pressure at the moment. As the pitch is bowling friendly, the batsmen of Netherlands are not able to do much. At the end of 6 overs of the power play, Netherlands collected only 20 runs. However, Netherlands lost three wickets. A target of more than 120 is highly unlikely.

Netherlands team managed to collect 103 runs in 20 overs. The Netherlands team has given a target of only 104 runs. The interesting fact is that in the last over, Netherlands managed to collect only 1 run and lost three wickets. However, I would say that the Netherlands managed to stay at the crease for 20 overs, which is their biggest achievement. I thought Netherlands team will lose all wickets before 20 overs.
Sybrand Engelbrecht batted responsibly and scored 40 runs while Logan van Beek scored 23 runs. South African bowler Ottneil Baartman conceded just 11 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets. This is probably the best bowling of this World Cup so far.
Anyway now currently thier journey depend on upcoming three victory especially against India which I believe they will done it in order to survive later on to confirm his position India and Ireland should beat USA with high margin so we will have too star team at top of the table.
Pakistan is a quite good team, but they had messed up everything. USA have already won their first two matches. I think they will win against Ireland too. Pakistan will qualify for sure if they somehow win against India. Because, they have the capability to win by a good margin against Canada and Ireland. On the other hand, India isn't going to lose against USA like Pakistan. 
We have neglected small and new groups for so long. But this year's World Cup is smaller and the new teams are performing well. And the performance of these teams is surprising us. I think ICC's decision to host the World Cup with 20 teams was the right decision. A big team like Pakistan lost against USA. Also, New Zealand lost badly against Afghanistan. And we don't see South Africa team performing well in today's match.
Well, this World Cup can be called as a "World Cup of Upsets" as we have seen a few matches that ended in unexpected results and this is just the beginning of this World Cup.
Just some time is left for the Pakistan vs India Match and it is a do-and-die match for the Pakistan team. Even India would not want to lose it and risk their position in the group.
In this match, the impact of the captain must be delivered as you can see if the captain does good captaincy, then the whole team becomes mood to do something in this match for their team. If he leads the team in a good way even when a player didn’t do well or didn’t take wickets and did the bowling with too much ECON then for sure the captain is disappointed but to motivate the bowler on that time is an example of a good captain. The same lines are dedicated to the Batsmen.
Who is the stronger captain among both teams who can handle the pressure better
Pakistan's condition has been very weak for a long time. This team did not do well in the ODI World Cup either. And in the last few series also we have not seen good performance from Pakistan as expected. Pakistan team also lost the series at home ground. So I am not expecting much from Pakistan in this World Cup. Pakistan played very badly against USA. I don't think this team can win against India.
You are right that the match against India is a do or die match for Pakistan. Pakistan must win this match if they want to qualify for the next round. But the Indian team is very experienced. This team is very hard to beat. Almost every Indian player is in very good form.
Sri Lanka lost back-to-back matches in the first and second matches of the World Cup tournament and Bangladesh secured a two-wicket victory in the first match against Sri Lanka. I think everyone who was a fan of Bangladesh and who watched this game live was very worried at one point that their team might lose. It's not like the target was too big or the equation too difficult. There was a time when runs were less than balls but still the Bangladeshi batsmen kept on giving away wickets one after the other and eventually Bangladesh was in a disaster.
However, Mahmudullah Riyad finished brilliantly in the end and then left the field and in the end the Bangladeshi fans smiled in victory.

The Bangladesh cricket team is used to such situations. At one point, their batters neither showed patience nor talent, losing wickets one after another. It could have been a disaster if Mahmudullah Riyad hadn't played a brilliant innings. Thus Bangladesh held their nerve and registered their first win of the T20 World Cup 2024. In the end, Mahmudullah's fightback innings won the match, so credit goes to him.
Congratulations to Bangladesh! However, it's tough to watch what's happening to Sri Lankan cricket.
Bangladesh team won the toss first and by winning toss, they gave a first bat chance to Sri Lanka team. Sri Lanka team did perform good in first lineup and did not grab good runs to Bangladesh team. Sri Lanka made 124 runs target in 20 overs by losing 9 wickets. This target was very easy if chasing team is very good Bangladesh team Bangladesh team won this game by 2 wickets and 6 balls. Opening of Bangladesh team did not going great both T.Hasan and S.Sarkar was dismissed without grabbing good runs but next batsman L.Das played good inning nad he chased almost 36 runs in 38 balls with hitting two 4s and one 6s. Shanto leader of team also showed very poor effort in game with 8 runs only. T.Hridoy also performed brilliantly with scoring 40 runs in 20 balls and he hitted one 4s and four 6s.
In the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match, Bangladesh was supposed to be more dedicative this time and they successfully defeated Sri Lanka in their 1st match of Icc Mens T20 World Cup 2024. Although Sri Lanka played didn't able to made enough runs today. Pathum Nissanka missed the half century for 2 runs only although 48 runs is good amount of runs but rest of players like Dhananjaya de Silva, Kusal Mendis can't meet the decent amount of runs. Even they failed to collected in last overs and out with zero runs 🦆🦆. 124 runs was their final score given to bangladesh as target. Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman hunted 3 wickets each. But Bangladesh aslo suffering from making runs. Litton Das made 36 runs and Towhid Hridoy made 40 runa. Rest of players just did nothing but out earlier. But senior player Mahmudullah hold the match tightly and due to his effort, Bangladesh won the match at the end.
Yes really this time unpredictable and awful things happen in this competition Men T20 World Cup. First Pakistan sqaud successfully defeated by USA sqaud I know USA play this competition in home ground but Pakistan sqaud performance was more batter and great then USA sqaud but Pakistan lost. Sri Lanka lost today match to Bangladesh sqaud who lost series by USA sqaud previously and Afghanistan beated New Zealand squad with massive scores. South Africa sqaud today emerged victorious with very close fight and won match just 1 over and 4 wickets. Netherlands squad Defeating target was Lao very bad and low quality just total 103 scores. In Sri Lanka against Bangladesh match, First Sri Lanka displayed word performance in batt inning by managing just 124 scores as a defeating target and after in bowling inning, Sri Lanka Sqaud bowlers did not faced the performance of Bangladesh batter and lost match with 6 deliveries and 2 wickets.

But Bangladesh aslo suffering from making runs. Litton Das made 36 runs and Towhid Hridoy made 40 runa.
Bangladesh had a narrow win by just 2 wickets against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka lost two matches in this World Cup so far and I think Sri Lanka is unofficially out of the World Cup Super Eight round. The man of the match is Rishad Hossain for his amazing bowling performance picked 3 important wickets by just giving 22 runs and helped his team to restrict Sri Lanka to under 130 runs. I think in T20 a target of less than 130 is easy to chase for any team Bangladesh also chased the target but lost 8 wickets. Mahmudullah played an important role in winning this match Bangladesh scored 16 runs unbeaten inning. The Sri Lanka team needed to improve its batting line if they won the next matches in this World Cup. It is no longer said that South Africa will win easily. If South Africa are defeated at a target of just 104 runs, it will be a huge shame for South Africa. I expected a responsible performance from South Africa's top order. But the South African batsmen started their innings very badly.
South Africa lost three wickets to collect only 3 runs. South Africa needed to average around 5 runs per over to win. There was no need to rush the South African batsmen. South Africa could easily have won the match if they had stayed at the crease. Experienced batsmen like Hendricks got out with 3 runs from 10 balls. Two experienced batsmen like de Kock and Marakram could not add any runs to the scoreboard. If Tristan Stubbs, Klassen and Miller fail to bat responsibly, South Africa will lose today.

Heinrich Klaasen can't bat well either. Klaasen returned to the dressing room after collecting only 4 runs. At the end of 6 overs, the South African team collected only 16 runs, and the team lost 4 important batsmen. South Africa will be defeated only if the Miller-Stubbs duo does not play well. South Africa still need to collect 88 runs in 14 overs to win. It will be difficult for South Africa to collect 88 runs from 84 balls on this pitch, because South Africa has already lost 4 wickets.
