Hahaha where only IND could win and other teams were not used to that format. once they used IND was never able to come to semis except 2014. Thats why u like 2007 :two_thumbs_up:

this format of T20WC actually favors the big teams and makes it tough for the minnows..

one freak innings can knock out any team. T20 is a lottery.. just sit back and enjoy. 

Anyone from  IND, PAK, AUS, NZ, SL, ENG can win it. I dont have faith in BD, SA and WI.

Not too convinced about Dharmshala.  It can be an unpredictable ground going by the IPL games...At times it's bowl first win game kinda ground and other times a really flat wicket coupled with a shortish ground yielding a runs galore. Playing in Dharmshala is surprising

Group 2 - India , one of NZ & PAK , dnt think Oz have a chance 

 

Group 1 - Windies & SA , Eng can surprise but these conditions wont be easy for them,  SL wont win more than 1 or 2 games.

pata nahi sab ko kya ho gaya hai...AUS is one of the best teams after IND..and most of them have played before in INDIA..

If I m not wrong, each version has had a brand new winner so I won't be surprised if this time SA / Aus / NZ / etc wins

SA has found some good form. Most of their players are accustomed to playing in India through IPL.
I reckon AB's gonna open with DeKock. Pace bowlers look competent as well.  If they bat first and and come across a flat track, I can easily see them scoring 200+ each time. Expecting them to reach the finals. We have got a chance against them only if we put forward some spin friendly slow tracks. Don't think we can out bat them through power hitting on flat decks. Will be a repeat of what we witnessed in their last match against us in the ODI series. 
Australia too have got a very good batting line up but without Starc bowling looks depleted.

Without getting into factors such as choke, SA is shaping up nicely. Its lower order is getting in to form .... Aus's batsmen appear to be getting some good hitting form too

Which team has a better chance of qualifying from Grp B - Afg or Zim 

From Grp A, BD appears to be overwhelming favorite

Who ever wins ZIM v AFG will qualify. Both look equally strong.

BTW look at this : 

1983 WC - Lost 2 matches in group stage, won the cup.

2007 WT20 - Lost to NZ in group stages, won the cup.

2011WC - Lost to SA in group stages, won the cup.

2014 WT20 - Did not loose a single match in Group stages . Lost the finals.

2015 WC - Did not loose a single match in Group stages. Lost the semi finals.

 

So INDIA have to loose at least a match in Group stages if they want to win the cup.

Hopefully, Ind can change that trend but in T20 anything can happen. There are some dangerous teams on Grp 2 so it could be hard to remain unbeaten
