Who will win WT20 2022 (Points Table)

[Norman]

With Sri Lanka's loss to Namibia, we are most likely to have the below teams in the group... 

 

India

Pakistan

South Africa

Sri Lanka

West Indies

Bangladesh 

 

The dynamics have now changed completely now that there's one more team in the group that is good enough to beat any team.. 

 

Watch this space. 

 

 

Points table able two rounds..

When they couldn't even beat Namibia, how are they supposed to beat better teams in our group?

TBF it might be a blessing in disguise for us. Every team will bear losses, not just us.

 

Such a scenario will favour 'consistent' teams like us, not 'mercurial' teams.

One game doesn't say anything. SL are still more challenging to top sides than a Namibia or Netherlands. 

[Majestic]

Is this confirmed with the loss that SL is coming to our group?

[Norman]

Also we can't discount an Ireland or Zimbabwe or even Scotland to beat West Indies in one of the games and throw them into group 1. Interesting days ahead..

A proper whiteball tournament with multiple teams fighting it out for gold.

If they beat Ned and UAE on huge margins and expect NAM beat Ned

Here are the bookies odds before the WC. They are betting on Aus or wait for it… India to win it. Sudhar jao kameeno

A tougher group means more consistent side will qualify for the next round. What happened in the last WC, NZ just won against India and then beat Afg, Namibia and Scotland to qualify for the next round. The minnow sides put up very little resistance and offered free points for the taking.

 

This time even if India loses a match early , their opposition will have to beat SL and WI to qualify rather than Scotland, Namibia and Afghanistan. Any loss to SL, WI would allow a team like India ( or any other team ) to make a comeback even after losing their first match.

Actually, this is good. If you want to win the world cup, you need to beat the best. Last WT20 was rubbish where we had to play 3 minnows and all those games were virtual formality.

 

If India is good enough, they must beat all these teams to qualify for next round, simple.

In your graph, Aus (+275)  & Eng (+330) are #1 & #2 per odds … Ppl may bet depending on teams they follow, odds, etc.,

Haven't watched the match, but always knew their batsmen will hard to play on bouncy pitches. They are no match to our or South African batsmen. Hansranga must adapt really well for them to have a slight chance. (Assuming these teams don't choke.)

Now its rumble in the jungle.

No it usually follow the odds given. So looking at last two columns , more people think Aus and India have better chances. besides 330 and 350 are pretty close. It’s not all gloom and doom in the betting world for India.

Got to say.. Except the game against South Africa , we got favourable match ups against all the sides when it comes to the venues.. 

 

Playing Pak and WI (likely) at the MCG, where only proper batting teams can get big scores and not the tullar hacks. Also the ball will swing, bringing Bhuvi/Shami, Arshdeep into play a bit more.. 

 

Playing at Adelaide against Bangladesh, with very short square boundaries, where we can easily bat them out of the game.. 

 

Playing Sri Lanka at SCG, again with bigger boundaries and also a flat wicket where we chased down 200+ a few times against Aus. 

 

Just hope we somehow win that game against SAF..

Not necessarily. A tougher group can also mean that Ind can lose more games to relatively stronger teams (like Pak & NZ in 2021 WC and Pak & SL in Asia Cup). The sides that are playing well will edge out those not playing well. 
 

In any group, the competition is against strong teams. Ind tends to lose to these strong teams, while winning against weak teams. More strong teams mean it cannot take easy wins for granted and would need to focus more on every game.

The important thing is odds given by the bookies. 
 

Fans can bet on a team they follow irrespective of the odds because they can convince (fool) themselves into believing that the team that they follow has the best chance. 
 

Anyways, I am not here to give lessons.
