zen Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 NAM beats SL SCO beats WI, WI out IRE beats ENG (though more due to DLS as ENG would back itself to get those runs in last 5) ZIM beats PAK If this a tournament of the unfancied, don't be surprised if NZ, SA, etc. go on to win this! maniac 1
maniac Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 What a great World Cup so far. Even the associate games have been top class. Give these associate teams more cricket and they will start beating more teams. Teams like Namibia and WI have been knocked out but even they are capable of beating most big teams. Even Scotland to some extent. Only UAE team is crap.
gattaca Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 IRE and ZIm shouldn’t be counted as upsets. Ireland has done it few times and zim did it few times.

I think UAE didn't do well as pitch conditions were not one which they used, 5 minutes ago, gattaca said: IRE and ZIm shouldn’t be counted as upsets.

How many of The Zim or Ireland players are playing in IPL? maniac 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 All teams coming in Wc had their share or problems and at some point they are getting exposed. Specially teams with batsman who have weak backfoot game

Future Tours 2023 - 2027 Ireland and Zimbabwe have 26 series scheduled from the ICC Scotland and Namibia have NONE allocated to them , it's a minor miracle that these two can beat a single full member at all considering the difference in games and finance allocated . Tell me guys do you think India is getting value for money ( because it is India's money ) handing West Indies and Bangladesh 16 million compared to Ireland and Zimbabwe 5 million and Scotland and Namibia 1 million ?. It's just not men's cricket but women's too, both of these women's cricket is on downward spiral and Ireland, Scotland and Zimbabwe is on a big up curve . Chakdephatte, coffee_rules and maniac 3
cricketfan28 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 They have an advantage when it comes to pressure situations, they have nothing to lose.

bharathh Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Barring the weather this WC has been interesting. I think the size of the grounds have made this more interesting than the typical T20 games that are played around the world. Better balance between bat and ball. Bored of 200+ run slug fests. A 160 par total makes T20s more interesting than the 180/200 par scores. Tattieboy 1
Sonix768 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Yeah, great tournament so far. All the Round 1 matches were also intriguing right from day 1 when Namibia defeated SL. Then Scot v WI, Meiyappan hat trick, Ireland's feverish chase against WI, Final game drama between Namibia and UAE. Then few iconic and memorable moments from Super 12. Right from Finn Allen assault on Starc Glen Philipps superman catch ATG India Pakistan game and that straight six. Upsets by Ireland and Zim Rain drama between SA and Zim Stoinis and Maxy mauling of Hasaranga Eng struggles So many memorable moments already. Huge contrast to the drab 2021 WC. zen 1
