We've not had that at all yet I get your point. Unfortunately, in this WC , even the upsets hv been one sided. LOL. It usually does not happen that a minnow beats a top ranked team by such huge margin. Link to comment

IndianRenegade Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 which game apart from the final was nail bitter in 2019? ind vs nz, was kind of done & dusted very early, it was just a matter of getting one of Jadeja or dhoni. Link to comment
Frustrated Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 This is ODI WC, not T20. ODI WCs, especially in Round1 are not known to produce many nail biting games. Same was the case throughout the 2019WC (except the Final). The Ind vs Nz game last Sunday was a close one (though not nail biting) Link to comment

This duffer Aatif Nawaz isn't considering the fact that if SL eliminated England today then they have improved their own chances of a Semi Final qualification. We aren't getting full idea of who the semi finalists will be till the Sri Lanka NZ match now, which will be the 41st match of the 45 match first round. These " we already know the Semi Finalists before 19 or 25 or 50 matches ' type of comments are usually made to discredit the tournament. Frustrated, Lord, AuxiliA and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

deepdynamo Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Yes, 25 matches so far with no close finish. But there were 4 upsets and few tense matches. But generally, its a one sided WC at the moment. Hope the last 20 matches will bring in few thrillers. sage 1 Link to comment

Majestic Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 3 hours ago, Lord said: Such games come at end of tourney usually, Obviously because now everyone wants to give their best and win. We are at the business end. Doesn't matter if target is 350+ or 200-, opposition will fight our unless the conditions completely change in the second inning. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Just now, Majestic said: Obviously because now everyone wants to give their best and win. We are at the business end. Doesn't matter if target is 350+ or 200-, opposition will fight our unless the conditions completely change in the second inning. Also teams are most used to conditions and know each other's strengths. That's why didn't get the rr about no close games in start. Link to comment
First class Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 This has been a very good WC, probably there never been a WC before when there was no team without a win. In this WC , even the lowest rank teams were able to win some matches. There should not be more than 10 teams in any cricket WC 50 overs or T20. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
