Lannister Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 The only worrying sign is if any other team apart from NZ to get same points as India. We had a chance to get past Pak in NRR in yesterday's match, but blew it thanks to Dhoni's stupidity. Pakistan has still got a chance to qualify if they win their remaining two matches against NZ and Aus. Ironhide 1
Adi_91 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 That should be the plan. Let's have a flattish pitch with a hint of spin against B'desh. And against Aussies let's have a pitch similar to the Kolkatta one.And NZ is Pak's bunny in ICC tournaments. Will be interesting that game.
deathmonger Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 And NZ is Pak's bunny in ICC tournaments. Will be interesting that game. This is a very good NZ team. NZ were Pakistan's bunny in everything throughout the 90s. But they have been constantly losing to NZ over the past 2 years.

zen Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 As mentioned on one of the threads:From what we saw so far, it is likely that every venues where Ind plays at may offer some degree of turn B'lore is assisting good spin bowling to some extent .... Mohali could do the same
Ultimate_Game Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 As mentioned on one of the threads:B'lore is assisting good spin bowling to some extent .... Mohali could do the same Mohali better do the same and in fact should offer lots and lots of turn. I don't want to go against the lineup of Finch, Smith, Warner, Watson, Maxwell, Marsh and Faulkner on a flattish pitch. Let's have another Kolkatta or Nagpur like pitch and get a win. On a flattish pitch even one of their batsmen can take the game away from us.
Trichromatic Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 In ICC tournaments, Pak have NZ as their bunny. Overall yes, it may be a different story.Pak has dominated NZ because later struggle against raw pace and full pitched deliveries. Not sure if it will work this time.
sandeep Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Oz game is basically a quarterfinal for us. Bangles should be swept aside without too much of an issue.
Utalk Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Another scenario folks.NZ beats everyone = 8ptsInd beats Pak and BD= 4ptsPak beats BD and Aus= 4pts Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Utalk Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 It seems I have touched a nerve by suggesting that India might lose another game. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Ultimate_Game Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 It seems I have touched a nerve by suggesting that India might lose another game. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Anything's possible. It's a game and T20 to boot. All you need is one player to play a blinder and it's match over. IMO lot will depend on the pitch we have against Aussies. If we get a turner like we did against NZ and Pak, I would be very surprised to see Aus beat India. However, if it's a flattish wkt, Aus beating India wouldn't be considered an upset by any stretch of imagination.

I wouldn't be surprised if BD surprise Aus on a turner.Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk StriKe and Stuge 2
zen Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Both the groups are wide open .... Theoretically, BD too can win 3 in a row and book a berth for SF
sandeep Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Sure, anything's possible, especially in T20. But realistically, chances of your scenario, which require Pak to beat NZ and Aus, are pretty slim judging by the skill, ability and form of the 3 teams in question. Not doubting that India could lose to Oz - its pretty much a straight quarterfinal that game, because as far as Pak's games are concerned the most likely outcomes are in order of probability - 0-2, 1-1, daylight and then 2-0. vijay50 1

You need to read my post again. That scenario requires Pakistan to win only one more game. One team cleaning everyone out means one of the others can sneak through with just two wins.Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Another possibility is that if NZ drops one game and then there could be 3 teams with 6 points. At the end of it, it would suck if a team made it due to net Runrate - I'd rather have teams make it to Semis by winning games, even if India loses out. Deserving teams should move to the semis - by winning games.
deathmonger Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 If Pak beat Oz and lose to NZ it could be good for us. Assuming we win the Bang match (high probability) we might not even need to defeat Oz and can even lose by a margin to go through. Since this is the last match we'll know the margin too. adi B 1
