vice Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think New Zealand has had the easiest schedule by playing Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh so far. South Africa had too many games at the beginning which is not always easy. Despite having a late start, India's games have been with top teams. No easy games at the front Link to comment
Cricketics Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Look, every team plays every other team so overall there is no tough schedule. But I know what you mean. You are trying to reflect how tough the opponents are in your first few games in a row. I think if you look at that picture, NZ can also say they have a tough schedule since they play easy teams first up and all of a sudden will end up with crazy competition without having to break easy against any easy opposition in later part of the tournament. If we look at the starting, India had an extremely tough schedule with Saf, Aus. NZ and Pak. Nz has a tough schedule as they now play all tough opponents from game 4 to game 9. Link to comment
AuxiliA Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I would rather have easier matches at the backend, when the race to SF gets tight and when there is a lesser chance of a washout. Also, fatigued players can be rested before the semis. velu, Switchblade and maniac 3 Link to comment

Nikhil_cric Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) NZ have the best schedule. You want tough games at the back end to prepare properly for the knockouts and easy games earlier do that you can plan and test your combinations etc. Edited June 12, 2019 by Nikhil_cric Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Obviously: Easiest Pak. Toughest Ind. Dont care about facts sorry. philcric 1 Link to comment
Revolution Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 This world Cup schedule is for best teams. Best teams perform consistently. There is minimum 3 days gap which is enough. Link to comment
maniac Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Honestly India had an easy schedule in terms of they gotta see how the pitches played out and could strategize their approach. However it got balanced out in terms of opponents they had the toughest first 4 games. Had it gone wrong Playing against weak teams in must win situations is not easy especially teams like WI and even Bangladesh Switchblade 1 Link to comment
Ajju Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If we consider NZ early matches with minnows and whether NZ is most unlucky team NZ can lost to AUS WI ENG Link to comment
Khota Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 India has the worst schedule. It is so cramped. Link to comment

Eng tried their best to make it difficult for India, aided by lauda committee. plays difficult teams upfront and starts much later than those teams so that they have less match practice and least chance for win.
