Big matches tomorrow now, it's so exciting to see that even on the last day of the group stage, four teams have at least a theoretical possibility to qualify for the semis. Even though practically it looks like a very difficult task as you have to see a lot of upsets tomorrow in order to such things to happen. I am pretty sure RSA would be easily able to beat the Netherlands. On the same notes, even India beating Zimbabwe shouldn't really be a very tough task seeing Zimbabwe's performance in the last 2 matches. So if both these teams win, no point of any other possibility. I expect Pak vs Ban to be a very close encounter honestly, Bangladesh are not in bad touch and Pakistan just got momentum in match against RSA, so this could be an interesting match to watch for sure.
Three matches were good to watch. Netherlands with its win in the previous match will try its best against South Africa. India vs Zimbabwe could go close, if Raza and Williams were able to contribute good. Zimbabwe haven't won T20 against India, winning the match will be history. Bangladesh vs Pakistan, both will be fighting hard to win the match. Anyhow it looks like Pakistan hands are high in it.

The whole of Pakistan nation will be watching these three matches today. We need South Africa and India to lose their matches and Pakistan to win big in their match in order to qualify for the semi finals.

I know this is impossible and it will be heartbreaking after watching one match to another and the result not getting as expected. The fact is that we just missed out on the first two matches against India and Zimbabwe and today we are in a desperate situation.

40th Match Super 12 Group 2. South Africa won the toss and welcomed the Netherlands to bat. Netherlands batting brilliantly from the beginning of the batting. Netherlands score 112 for 3 in 15 overs. South Africa bowling performance is not doing so well. South Africa must win the match to sure a Super 12 Group 2 semi-final match. Today's match is very important for South Africa
South Africa's net run rate is fairly good especially as they are in the second position with a total of five points from four matches.  A mere win against the Netherlands today will ensure them a place in the semi-finals.  Because it is impossible for Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the Netherlands to make it to the semi-finals.

He's an excellent all-rounder, no doubt about it.
Also to me, he looks like solid captain material. Saw him taking charge of field setting and taking decisions so many times and that too in crucial moments.

Why do they need a new captain now, when Babar Azam is doing such a good job? He is still in his 20s, and therefore the slot for Pakistan captain will be fixed for the next decade or so. And moreover, he is the backbone for Pakistan in all the three formats of the game.
I was merely pointing out that Shadab looks like million dollar prospect when leading, it doesn't mean that I am criticizing or degrading Babar's captaincy. Both can be good leaders at the same time, that's why they are captain and vice captain.
Babar Azam is a good captain as long as the team is winning . . but he experience backlash when the team lose a match.
Pakistani and Indian fans are crazy - they only want to see their team winning and nothing else.

I am waiting to watch Bangladesh vs Pakistan match. However, in general, Pakistan seems to be stronger in this match. But I saw Bangladesh's excellent performance against India. Bangladesh played very well. I think the Bangladesh team will win against Pakistan if they are able to continue this streak. But it will be difficult for the Bangladeshi batsmen to deal with the Pakistani pace bowlers.

Pakistan's bowling attack is very strong so Bangladesh must be on alert and try to play a good competitive match. Bangladesh played very well against India especially Liton Kumar Das's innings was very good. So Pakistan will definitely take Bangladesh as a strong opponent here as both sides will try to win this match. Pakistan's Haris Rauf is doing amazing bowling in this tournament. On the other hand, Bangladesh's Taskin Ahmed is also bowling brilliantly and is one of the best wicket takers in this World Cup. So expect to see an exciting match tomorrow.

LOL! I was expecting Srilankan batters to set a target of 180+ when I saw the opening pair going after the bowlers. Pathum Nissanka suddenly started hammering the bowlers and all credits to him Srilanka had a great advantage in the early overs.
They never utilised it and in the death overs they got destroyed by the English bowling. I somehow was expecting the Srilankan batters to die down in the middle to lower batting order as it has been proved in this world cup. I somehow was expecting another big upset but the English side was too good. 
This is the same Sydney ground where every team was scoring big runs but for some reason lankans failed to score and for them, it's the 2nd time in this World Cup.
English bowler did ball well after 8 overs tho. Having said that Poms also slowed down after the powerplay so no idea if the organizers used a different deck or made some changes to the pitch.
Srilanka  were going good but they fail to finish with big target. They were 120 in 15 overs and should have scored 160 to 180 but they keep on losing wickets in last overs. With this loss, Australia is out too from WC and now we have to wait and see which two teams from second group qualify for next round.

The performance of first 5 overs and last 5 overs in T20 matches is very important. In the first 5 overs, the players have to try to score runs by staying at the crease. If the top order plays well, it becomes a big collection time in the match. And the last 5 overs are more important. It is very important to score at least 50 runs in the last 5 overs. And the big teams in T20 format like India, and Australia always bat well in the last 5 overs. If Sri Lanka could have collected like 160 in today's match then they could have fought. I think the match was completely one-sided after giving a target of just 142 runs. It is difficult to stop England team in 141.

This happens alot in T20I matches once players loose their momentum and their big partnership breaks than they can't make a good target. In these matches all players have to play attentively and make quick runs there is no balls and time to loose in T20 matches. Same thing happened with sirlanka today They started very well and at that time it looked like they'll give a big target but back to back fall of wickets create alot of pressure on batsman.

Today game was important only for Aus and England. Srilanka has nothing in today's game as they have to fly back to Srilanka after today's game. Two big teams aka Australia and Pakistan are out in first stage of this WC. In my opinion NZ and SA are favorite but SA are known to be chokers.

Chasing the target of 142 runs set by Sri Lanka, England won by 4 wickets. Although Sri Lanka lost this match, the Sri Lankan team performed very well. At the start, the two opening batsmen of Lankan batsmen, played brilliantly in the power play. But with the failure of the middle order batsmen, Sri Lanka were able to score hard-earned scores. Middle order batsmen, if you can play a little better. The Sri Lankan team had a chance to win. The bowling performance too of the Sri Lankan team was good
The team has to play consistently well for the big score. In the beginning, one or two played well and the next wicket could not perform well, so it was often difficult to score big on the side of the team as it was in Sri Lanka. England did not have to work hard because the score of runs in the match was very less. England is able to overcome easily. If the target was given 180 or more then the the game would have been exciting. However, when playing between these two sides, England often wins.

Sirlankan ballers gave  tough time to England, they were having great difficulty in chasing that normal target.  T20I is all about this type of cricket,thrilling, competitive and you can't tell till the last over who'll win the game but England managed to win after all and qualified for semi-finals.  Congratulations England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Himachal Pradesh vs Mumbai, Final match won the toss and Mumbai opted to bowl. Now batting Himachal Pradesh they scored 94 runs in 15 overs and lost 6 wickets. Nikhil Gangta scored 22 runs off 14 balls. It seems that Himachal Pradesh are in this match.  Can't score more than 150 runs. Himachal Pradesh started the game very badly in this match.

Congratulations England Cricket Team. England cricket team confirmed the semi-final of T20 World Cup by defeating Sri Lanka by four wickets. But today's match between Sri Lanka and England was very good. Sri Lanka lost this match today and they have to withdraw from the T20 World Cup. In addition, the host Australia did not have the fate of playing the semi-final at their home ground due to England's victory.

At the end of the powerplay it looked like an easy win for England, but things slowly changed. At the end of was a hard fight as England lost wickets. Finally a win at the last over have made England reach semifinals. Now it is confirmed New Zealand and England to top the table. It was Ben Stokes who played in a much responsible way at the right time, if not this could've been a win for Sri Lanka.
No wonder England beat Sri Lanka to win. Because England always play better cricket than Sri Lanka. Besides, there are enough skilled cricketers in the England team. However, Sri Lanka have put in a lot of effort in this match for which I wish them all the best.
