Afghanistan did good, but they could have done much better, they fell like dominoes after the first fall of wicket, and gathered mere 31 runs in last 6 overs, I expected 230+ score the way Afghan openers were going.

Finally Afghanistan do according to my expectations. They played really well. Fisrt of all I appreciate the first partnership. They were amazing. Afghanistan lost first wicket at 154 runs. That was excellent. After that the whole team managed to score 183 runs. Means 184 runs target was very high for Uganda team. After batting Afghanistan showed their power in bowling too. Especially I will give the whole credit to the one bowler he is Fazalhaq Farooqi he collected 5 wickets and gave only 9 runs. He is the player of the match and he deserved that. Excellent performance by Afghanistan. Congratulations to them on their amazing win.

Afghanistan's batsmen have performed very well today and Afghanistan are going to win by a huge margin. The Ugandan batsmen were under a lot of pressure as no Ugandan batsman could take responsibility for the target of 184 runs given by Afghanistan. But Afghanistan batsmen batted responsibly as well as Afghanistan bowled very well from the start. Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled very well against Uganda taking five wickets for nine runs in four overs.  None of the Ugandan batsmen performed well so they should have batted responsibly against Afghanistan as they were defeated by very few runs but none of the Ugandan batsmen showed their responsibility. The current score of the Ugandan team is 57 runs for 9 wickets with 15 overs to play.  Looks like the current playing condition of Uganda team. They might not be able to play the whole over. They will be all out before that.

Afghanistan vs Uganda was an interesting game between two teams and Afghanistan team collected a huge score. We know Afghanistan is a strong team, and they can perform very well in cricket, and they definitely achieved a good result against Uganda. But not so strong team in Uganda this is the first time they got a place in T20 World Cup and got a chance to play though their performance is not that good. But in today's match, Afghanistan team has done a great batting due to which they have managed to collect 183 runs which is a very big score. Afghanistan's two experienced batsmen batted superbly in the opening match, both of whom came close to a century but unfortunately fell short, Rahmatullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran. The Ugandan team is trying hard to meet the target of 184 runs in today's match, but they are already under a lot of pressure, and they have lost five crucial wickets. With such a poor performance in the T20 matches, it is never possible to be at the top and with the batting performance of Uganda in today's match, they will lose by a huge margin. As today's match is in Afghanistan's favor, the Ugandan team will never reach such a huge score, already 10 overs are almost over, but they are not able to reach 50 runs.

Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz batting responsibly for Afghanistan, 145 runs were collected by the Afghanistan team from the bats of these two batsmen. When these two Afghanistan batsmen were batting, it seemed that Afghanistan could almost give Uganda a target of 200 plus runs.  But after the two outs, the batsmen in Afghanistan were under pressure. After the outs of Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz, if any batsman could have batted responsibly, he could have given Uganda a 200 plus target. The Ugandan batsmen are under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 184 runs given by Afghanistan. We all know that Afghanistan's bowling line is strong and if they bowl well they can beat Uganda by a big margin today. However, if any Ugandan batsman can bat responsibly, the game will be competitive even if they can't win the match against Afghanistan. But the way Afghanistan's bowlers have been bowling from the start looks like Uganda will be all out before they can score too many runs.

The first innings of the Afghanistan vs Uganda match has ended. Uganda won the toss and sent Afghanistan into bat. From the start, Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz put on a brilliant partnership of 154 off 88 balls. I thought Afghanistan would score 200 plus runs but they didn't play very well last few overs. However, they took only 31 runs in the last six overs and did not hit any boundaries. Uganda will enter the field in a short time to achieve the target of 184 runs. Afghanistan's bowling line is very good, they are a strong team in T20 format and I think it will only go in their favour.

In the Afghanistan vs Uganda T20 match, Uganda won the toss and decided to bowl first, but the Ugandans could not bowl very well. Afghanistan's opener duo Gurubaz and Ibrahim Zadran batted very well in the partnership of the two, and Afghanistan is going to give a big target to Uganda. Today Afghanistan's opener pair batted very well and the partnership between them developed beautifully. Gurubaz was dismissed with 76 runs in 45 balls and Ibrahim Zadran was dismissed with 70 runs in 46 balls. After the dismissal of Ibrahim Zadran Gurubaz, none of the Afghanistan batsmen could bat responsibly due to which  Afghanistan team scored 184 runs in allotted 20 overs. Afghanistan has given a target of 185 runs to Uganda. Afghanistan's bowling line is quite strong, they can bowl well against Uganda, Afghanistan will definitely have a chance to win. Let's see how well Uganda can bat in today's match.

At this time the Afghanistan is near to end their innings they have played 18.3 overs. And Afghanistan performance is really admirable. Like the first partnership was excellent. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz 154 runs partnership. Ibrahim Zadran made 70 runs and Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 76 runs. And in total they have made 177 runs in 19 overs. And I think this will be a highly tough target for Uganda team. By the way we can't underestimate the Uganda team they can also play well and even can win the match. Because cricket game is unpredictable. So let's wait for the end. I hope Afghanistan will win.

The match between Afghanistan and Uganda has started. Uganda has decided to bowl after winning the toss . 11 overs have passed and Afghanistan have scored 114 run without any wickets . Uganda decision to bowl after winning the toss is very heavy on the Uganda team . If this trend continues no wickets will fall for Afghanistan , then win Afghanistan will set a target of 200 puls runs which will be a very difficult target for the Uganda team. And looking at the partnership of Afghanistan R Gurbaz  and I Zadran , it looks like both of them will complete their respective centuries as they have completed their half centuries so far.

So guys we know today there are three matches of T20I World Cup.

Afghanistan vs Uganda
England vs Scotland
Nepal vs Netherlands

So in the first match we know that Afghanistan team is much stronger as compare Uganda and they can win the match easily. And Match has been started already Uganda choose to field first and Afghanistan have made 17 runs in 1.2 overs.
And in the second match we know that is also a one sided match England is stronger than Scotland and England will win the Match easily.
But the third one will be interesting because both teams are at equal level they Recently Nepali team performance was not good but this is the world cup so they will try to their best to win this match.

You are right, Sri Lanka batted so badly that it looked like Sri Lanka had come to pass the time, not to play the ICC World Cup. And if we talk about the head to head comparison of the two teams , here both the teams have been sitting in the ups 17 times out of which south Africa have won 12 times , while Sri Lanka have won the matches only five times and behind them in the last five Matches . South Africa have won 5 matches and Sri Lanka have not won a single match . So in this sense South Africa side is looking heavy and in this match they have proved that South Africa is heavy on the Sri Lanka team by winning this match .

Out of the four matches that have been held in this year's T20 Men's World Cup, the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka has been the worst, and I don't think it is reasonable to accept that a team like Sri Lanka will be bowled out for 77 runs in a T20. Yesterday, South Africa's pace attack was so controlled that Sri Lanka was bowled out for 77 runs. Moreover, Sri Lanka's batting disaster has reached such an extreme that several top order batsmen of Sri Lanka have been dismissed consecutively.

In last few months we are having Sri Lankan at their lowest level with their performance in ODI world cup now few fans were expecting we will have increased performance, but sadly first game of this event bring huge disappointment for them which is alarming for them and Sri Lankan management as well.
Even situation is not bad at all for them with their next few games are against low rank teams which can give them boost for the qualifying into super 8, but they need to work on their batting with their bowling is better but with this quality of batting they can do anything good in international cricket.

You are right I agree with you. The way the Sri Lankan team batted against South Africa really disappointed thousands of cricket fans. Sri Lankan batsmen should have batted more responsibly because the Sri Lankan team performed fairly well in batting but they batted very badly in the first match of the T20 World Cup against South Africa. If the Sri Lankan team could have scored 150 runs against South Africa in today's match, the game would have been competitive even if there was no chance of winning. But the South African team has to be praised, they have performed very well in both batting and bowling, due to which South Africa bowled out a team like Sri Lanka by 77 runs. But the way Sri Lankan batsmen have batted badly against South Africa in today's match, surely Sri Lankan batsmen are expected to bat responsibly in the next matches, otherwise they will return with a failed mission in T20 World Cup.

None of us could have imagined that Sri Lanka would perform so badly, especially as the wickets fell in the beginning, Sri Lanka could not turn around. Moreover, five top-order batsmen were out in 45 runs after 32 runs and here Sri Lanka completely failed. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Sri Lanka could have increased the score, but in the end, back-to-back wickets saw Sri Lanka all out before the allotted overs. In particular Nortje's ball Sri Lanka could not deal with but the 4 top order batsman was dismissed for just seven runs.

Very bad performance from the Lankan team everyone was not expecting this kind of Performance which shows zero resilience against the peace attack of South Africa. This is not what you have to do on the World Cup stage where everyone is seeing you especially your country people just look at the USA the way they played indeed it's against CA but it's still a team and the pressure of the World Cup and the USA Playing it for 1st time but they performed brilliantly well.

South Africa  went down to bat against the target of 78 runs. Although under a bit of pressure after losing the wicket in the beginning, the next batsmen did not have much problem to win the responsible batting, South Africa won easily. However, the Sri Lankan team did not bat that well against South Africa, but the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team should have batted responsibly. On the other hand, the South African team started their journey by winning the first match of the World Cup with their great performance. But I will definitely blame their batting as the reason why Sri Lanka lost the match today, if their batsmen could have scored 170 runs or 150 runs, the game would have been very competitive and Sri Lanka would have won. South Africa bowling line is very strong they can bowl very well against any team and they won very convincingly against Sri Lanka. But the performance of South Africa bowlers today was very outstanding they bowled very well due to which they bowled out a strong team like Sri Lanka for 77 runs. Of course being bowled out for 77 runs is very embarrassing for Sri Lanka. There are great things to say about the Sri Lankan team but they did not bowl that well in today's match if the run target was big then Sri Lanka would have bowled well too.

USA won the 1st match with a lot of good runs. USA is a great team and also performed good in series with Bangladesh team. They have consistently shown their ability to score well and secure victories in match. USA won by 197 runs by 7 wickets with 14 balls. First USA won toss and USA elected to filed first. USA is a powerful in cricket with a history of winning matches consistently. The team of Canada need to work hard and play with dedication in oder to win. The Canada teams needs to work very hard.l. I hope Canada they will play better in the next matches and win this series. USA man played a fantastic match. The best match was played by Aaron Jones USA. Canada didn't play the match very well made very few runs and lost. Best of luck USA for upcoming matches. The best batting performance in the USA man team was by Aaron Jonas scored 94 runs of 40 balls hitting 4 fours and 10 sixs. USA won the match because of Aaron Jonas brilliant performance and got player of match.

Yes, you are right in today's match Sri Lanka showed a bad performance against South Africa. This was the first match and we hoped that they would get a handsome score but they were alll out at 76. The batsman's performance was too bad they played just like they were playing for the first time. In my view, I think they need to stay on the wicked and then catch the strategy and psychic of the bowlers and then they start hitting but here they ignore all the basics and start hitting the ball. In this ma,tc h all their babatsmenook pressure and you are the opponent team took advantage of this and restricted them to 70s. Let's see what will next happen in the coming matches whether they survive are not.

Yes it is true that Sri Lanka team had a poor performance against South Africa but I will say that it's there batting performance not the bowling performance. Because they are quiet good at boiling performance today if we see the scoreboard then South Africa team win this match but it took 16.2 overs and they also lose their four wicket.
Actually I am hoping that South Africa gonna be win in 10 over against Sri Lanka but unfortunately they also lose much we get in under 100 run in the regards of T20 format. Anyway I have been seen few times that Sri Lanka batting line up is gradually downish I think Sri Lankan team management shoot keep I on this for the next tournament.
