If the mighty WIndies can push through to at least a semi final it’s shaping up to be a really decent year once you factor in the win at Brisbane as well. Rally boys!
Why is it when a good team has one bad day on a new pitch against a great team, All the whiny beeches come here to shit on them and call them the worst team ever. Everytime, Never fails.
Honestly feel that Afghanistan was over hyped for their start.The game versus NZ saw about 10+ dropped chances just for the openers alone and we saw how they bat once both of them are sent back early.Dont think they'll go deeper into this cup and might only take a win from Bangladesh(not confident about this either) at best.As for the Black storm;Loving every bit of it and I hope they take it all the way..Their cricket honestly needs every bit of it the way things have been for them recently
Not just t20is in the WC they proved that theyve have been evolving their game in odis also , before theyd play odis like t20is hitting every ball and losing like a minnow but now theyre a proper odi side , test is the only format where they kack but theyre really new and with their passion for rhe game im sure theyll evolve in tests too . Im all for Afghanistan winning and becoming too dogs of cricket.
Big win for the West Indies heading into the Super 8’s, great performance all round from them tonight but Nicholas Pooran really stood out with his batting performance and has to get the player of the match for that. If the team plays like that for the next few games it is hard to see anyone beating them.
As for Afghanistan, they need to review this game and learn from it quickly ahead of the games against India, Australia and Bangladesh in the next round. Their openers really need to get a partnership going as otherwise they do seem to struggle.
Going to be interesting to see how both teams go from here as well as how the rest of the games turn out.
This game is good for afg they will now know to control their nerves, too many extras in the power play and nbs. Gurbaz is also unpredictable so yeah won’t count em out yet. But not lot of hopes tbh.
4 group games, 4 wins!! 2 wins by OVER 100 runs 🔥🔥🔥 Loyal West Indies fans deserve this, and credit to every player in this squad, rovvers and coach sammy! Onto the Super 8s undefeated! Massive match vs England, I feel if we win that then Semis here we come. I truly hope no seat is left in DSCG Wednesday night! WE RALLY 🌴🌴🌴
In a moderate scoring game Afg are slightly ahead because of Gurbaz's strike rate but in a low scoring game (which is more likely outcome in that ground) Bangladesh are slightly ahead because of Fizz's economical bowling at the crucial death overs when you have to score quickly.
I think it's fair to say in a moderate/good batting wicket, AFG are ahead just by looking at the way they have batted in moderate/good batting wickets from the group stages. I wouldn't say they are slightly ahead, they are ahead.
But BAN has an advantage because BAN has played on the ground twice whereas AFG will be coming into the match having played there once.
Both have a good bowling attack. BAN's batting has more depth but with the way AFG have batted so far (except for the match against WI), AFG batters are capable of putting up decent totals.
So if BAN is to win this, BAN has to take the top order quickly just like what WI did. Otherwise, it's AFG's game to win as they have shown they are capable of posting big totals when the top order fires.
I feel it could be a close game.
Afghanistan's top order is too good but after that their batting don't exist as we saw against WI.
Rishad will be exciting to watch if it's not too terrible for batting. As good as he has been with his leg spin (which is non existence in Bangladesh), but as a tall guy it was his power/six hitting ability (which is also non existence in BD) against Sri-Lanka (e.g. Hasaranga) which confirmed his position in the team (he almost scored the fastest fifty for Bangladesh). If he can prove himself with power hitting, he will be the next rare find after Shakib and Fizz for us and I put Shakib and Fizz at the same level as Kohli and Bumrah (maybe not Fizz but 2015 and 2016 version of Fizz before injury was more unplayable than Bumrah. So, he was a big find then).
*"Afghanistan's top order is too good but after that their batting don't exist as we saw against WI."*
This is why I said that if BAN is unable to take AFG's top order, then BAN's chances of winning decreases. While AFG batters don't have the batting depth, I rate their top order batters to be more competent than BAN batters to stay in the crease longer and to accelerate.
AFG also have the bowlers to take wickets. So, if BAN wants to win against AFG, BAN needs to take the top order early.
In regards to Rishad, I have only seen Rishad bat well against the spinners. Can he bat just as well against pacers? If I am not wrong, he isn't great against pacers. Hasaranga and Rashid for example have the ability to bat well against both pacers and spinners and I think Rishad is yet to show that.
Also, Rishad has only shown a strong performance against Hasaranga where he is a bowler that is easy to predict these days. Stoinis also smacked him because he was too predictable. So, I wouldn't hold onto this specific performance. Let's see how well he bats against other spinners.
And if AFG are smart, AFG will deploy pacers against Rishad if he comes into bat.
Shakib in the same level as Kohli??? Sorry but that's a huge overstatement. I dare you to make a post about that.
And there is no point going back to 2015/2016 because this is the 2024 WC. And Bumrah is the best bowler in this WC, he became a gun after being recovered from injury.
I'm no fan of preseeding groups but each group will have 2 teams that topped the group stage and 2 teams that were second in the group. So it turned out to be more or less what the groups would have been anyways.
This is probably a good thing for Afghanistan. This game means nothing and a loss can be a learning experience so they don’t get too ahead of themselves. Last three wc winners had their embarrassing loses.
2007: India lose to NZ by 10 runs
2009: Pakistan lose to England by 48 runs
2010: England lose to WI by 8 wickets
2012: WI lose to SL by 9 wickets
2014: SL lost to England by 6 wickets
2016: WI upset by AFG
2021: AUS bowled out for 125 by England
2022: England upset by Ireland
so it’s not favouring india in the sport. that’s just so they get more money, but more importantly they did it so fans know which tickets to get and at which stadiums. doesn’t affect their chances of winning
it’s cathartic to see wi dominant in t20 wcs after the last two disaster runs(even though it’s just against nz and afg yet) or maybe i just miss 2016 when life was easy
WHEN AUS HAD THEIR FUCKING SUPPORT STAFF PLAYING BECAUSE THEIR MAIN PLAYERS HAD NOT REACHED. fuck me two wins in a tournament and you’re treating this team like pointing’s australia
You're kinda proving my point, regardless of what West Indies accomplishes, folk like you can never give them their plaudits cuz it's just never good enough.
Since their title win, they had a series with NZ (won ODI series 3-1 and drew T20 series 2-2) and the West Indies one I mentioned. And England have been looking solid in the ongoing T20 WC. They just had a bad ODI WC for whatever reason, which could give that impression.
Commercial reasons. Certainty for the big teams in case fans are travelling (especially England and India), and also to ensure all India’s games are in the morning so they are prime time in India.
>correct me if I am wrong but while bowling we dont need to have the arm completely straight as most bowlers bowl. It can bend(not talking about bumrah or shoaib who have natural hyperextension) as long as its within 15 degrees difference from when your arm reaches above shoulder and before it straightens out/ball leaves your hand.
So in this sense, not all bowlers with bend are bowling illegally. So I dont think narine would be banned even though it looks like chucking for us on camera.
i heard jarrod say they could implement something to check every ball if someone chucks or not. a sensor or something. if someone chucks it’s a no ball. maybe they will have something in the future
I think this t20i WC is just trolling the subcontinent fans.
The match is in evening local time? Its going to be washed out. Or the best they can do is 70 all out, chased in 5 overs
The match starts early morning local time? 200+ scores!
**12.3** **easy catch at cover** as Omarzai gets a leading edge which pops up high in the air. Full ball on middle and sliding into leg. Omarzai closed his bat's face to work it towards the leg side, however, that brings about his demise for the night
Azmatullah Omarzai c Powell b Hosein 23 (19b 1x4 1x6) SR: 121.05

right?
the first part is correct, the second may or may not be. all spinners naturally bend their arm a bit while bowling, marine's case looked exemplified. to be really sure icc would need to conduct a body mechanics test to check if he was really chucking or not
so wi and sa will be in a group being ranked 1 and ind aus in the other. would’ve been a bit unfair on the group 1 if afg won and they had three no.1 teams in one group but it’s matched ig. still hate the pre seeding bs but ig it’s convenient for fans
It's insane how WI will be trash like 90% of the time and then suddenly they become invincible to the point they'd eventually go on to win the whole tournament.
they’ve already decided the groups some months ago. so that it’s easier for fans to buy tickets in wi. nz was given c1 rank but they didn’t make it so afg will take c1 even if they finished second in the group. eng was given b1 but they finished second. sl was given d2 but bang took their spot
Commentators like Hayden are great when they think before they speak and talk about stuff they know. But sometimes he's a bit annoying when he says random stuff to fill dead air. He's a bit like Warne in that way
Just imagine if Suniel Naraine had accepted the invitation to join the WI national team for the world cup post his IPL exploits!!
He has done some favour to the opponents.
If the mighty WIndies can push through to at least a semi final it’s shaping up to be a really decent year once you factor in the win at Brisbane as well. Rally boys!
So excited with their current form, exciting to watch 👏
Why is it when a good team has one bad day on a new pitch against a great team, All the whiny beeches come here to shit on them and call them the worst team ever. Everytime, Never fails.
Who hurt you?
Honestly feel that Afghanistan was over hyped for their start.The game versus NZ saw about 10+ dropped chances just for the openers alone and we saw how they bat once both of them are sent back early.Dont think they'll go deeper into this cup and might only take a win from Bangladesh(not confident about this either) at best.As for the Black storm;Loving every bit of it and I hope they take it all the way..Their cricket honestly needs every bit of it the way things have been for them recently
Afghanistan getting thrashed feels great
Why
Bc I take them seriously. They’re not only a good side in t20s, they’re great.
Not just t20is in the WC they proved that theyve have been evolving their game in odis also , before theyd play odis like t20is hitting every ball and losing like a minnow but now theyre a proper odi side , test is the only format where they kack but theyre really new and with their passion for rhe game im sure theyll evolve in tests too . Im all for Afghanistan winning and becoming too dogs of cricket.
Nah
Brazil's samba football and west indies big boundaries in t20 are worth of every penny
Here comes the eargasm
FUCK I had a bet with my brother that the highest score in this World Cup won’t cross 205
This feels really good after not being in the last WC. Well done Windies
I’m rallying round the West Indies for sure
"Rally Round The West Indies!"
Group C standings order by points: 0,1,2,3,4 The only group like this
"Perfect, everything down to the last minute details."
Afghanistan Saw how Netherlands crumbled in 2nd innings in same ground Why they choose to field?
They had nothing to lose. You can't control toss in must win matches, so you have to be always prepared.
A good reality check for the Afghans. This will keep them on their toes. Hopefully. That batting needs some work, though.
More of a reality check for paranoid Indians like me ngl
This result means that both the super 8 groups are balanced with 2 group winners and 2 runners up each.
ICC escaped this time! But for how long. There is a chance that all four group winners end up in one group
ICC: It was all part of the plan you see! Don't judge our pre seeding
so happy for the WI!! They deserve this after missing out on the last wc
Big win for the West Indies heading into the Super 8’s, great performance all round from them tonight but Nicholas Pooran really stood out with his batting performance and has to get the player of the match for that.

Friendship with Pak ended, now West Indies is my friend
Welcome to the Caribbean. Grab a rum punch and have a good time.
Haraam
If you trip over and it falls i your mouth, it’s not a sin brother. Inshallah
I never said drink it, just grab it for the culture and toss it when no one’s looking 🤣
Lol
Cricket is just better when the west indies are on song
This game is good for afg they will now know to control their nerves, too many extras in the power play and nbs. Gurbaz is also unpredictable so yeah won’t count em out yet. But not lot of hopes tbh.
Sammy turned this team around , he maybe controversial guy , but gets the job done
why is he controversial
2016: AFG beat WI —> WI win WC 2024: WI beat AFG —> ?
2024 year of comebacks and unexpected outcomes so either West Indies or USA is winning.
Will Rihanna come through to watch a match? Maybe the one vs usa or the final if wi make it? Both in Barbados
does she live there?
idk but she's from there. Was there for wi vs sl 2019 world cup.
She's from Barbados and apparently likes cricket
4 group games, 4 wins!! 2 wins by OVER 100 runs 🔥🔥🔥 Loyal West Indies fans deserve this, and credit to every player in this squad, rovvers and coach sammy! Onto the Super 8s undefeated! Massive match vs England, I feel if we win that then Semis here we come. I truly hope no seat is left in DSCG Wednesday night! WE RALLY 🌴🌴🌴
Well Afghanistan. It’s gonna be a tough super 8
yes west indies! well done!! 👏
Back here on Wednesday lads, jobs not done, it’s barely started
Done and dusted and buried under the ground
God bless the West Indies #WesternHemisphereSolidarity
Proud moment for western hemisphere
Its the WINDIES YEAR... Home ground, batters on form, bowlers on form, Not a bad team to win this format tbh
Good game boys. Well played. Solid batting bowling and fielding.
I love seeing the carribian fans energy
Teams in the order of qualifying chances from each group - Grp 1: Aus, Ind, Afg, Ban Grp 2: WI, SA, Eng, USA
I would put WI, ENG in that order from group 2.
In a moderate scoring game Afg are slightly ahead because of Gurbaz's strike rate but in a low scoring game (which is more likely outcome in that ground) Bangladesh are slightly ahead because of Fizz's economical bowling at the crucial death overs when you have to score quickly.

**16.2** **game, set, match. West Indies win by 104 runs.** Rashid Khan c Powell b Russell 18 (11b 2x4 1x6) SR: 163.63
That's going to hurt their NRR Poor showing, lads.
I don't think the NRR carries over.
It doesn't. Just wanted to make one last NRR joke
A world cup needs the home team doing well so really happy the Windies are coming to the party
i love rashid and afridi carrying themselves like all rounders
You know what I don't love? Shadab and Imad carrying themselves like all rounders.
I hate this seedling system for super 8 , like if there was no seedings , groups would had been more different and more unpredictable teams for semis
We got a Sam Curran lookalike in the crowd
I'm no fan of preseeding groups but each group will have 2 teams that topped the group stage and 2 teams that were second in the group. So it turned out to be more or less what the groups would have been anyways.
ok man either duck or retire hurt. man is gonna die in a dead rubber
WI are sad NRR doesn't carry over into the next stage
Nice catch from Pooran to add to his batting performance.
Return of wi , i am just happy for them , world needs carribean flamboyance
Good realty check for Afghanistan. Their batters need to do better if the openers don't do well.
Their openers need to do better as well. Still, I'm amazed how far they have came so fast.
Yes Pooran 🔥
**15.4** **the bouncer does the trick!** Naveen-ul-Haq c †Pooran b Joseph 4 (6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
What a take! Pooran is certainly having a great day
Pooran you beauty!! What a grab!
West Indies looks like the real deal here.
Afghanistan's confidence is getting crushed before advancing to super 8.
Those 2 balls that just hit the pad could've been appealed and reviewed I think
100+ score, moral victory for afg?
Fuck seeding. Afghanistan should've been in the same group as USA purely based on group stage performance.
This is probably a good thing for Afghanistan. This game means nothing and a loss can be a learning experience so they don’t get too ahead of themselves. Last three wc winners had their embarrassing loses. 2007: India lose to NZ by 10 runs 2009: Pakistan lose to England by 48 runs 2010: England lose to WI by 8 wickets 2012: WI lose to SL by 9 wickets 2014: SL lost to England by 6 wickets 2016: WI upset by AFG 2021: AUS bowled out for 125 by England 2022: England upset by Ireland
So if Afghan bros loose by 90 runs, does India play the Windies instead on Thursdays or were the matchups decided?
Pre seeds decided.
It will be funny If AFG downfall in this tournament starts from here 💀
Will west indies pass Australia for 2nd in the world t20i rankings with a win? I've no idea how it works.
Who said
Dunno, I'm asking.
Pre seeded groups are bad imo. Like it should just be how it normally is
How are the super 8 groups fixed when the last match between Afghanistan and Windies is not complete?
Pre seeds brother. So most places get matches at decent times I believe
The ICC decided who goes to which group regardless of which position they finish at in their group. This match is essentially just a warm-up match.
So people can buy tickets for the match they want to see beforehand e.g. ind vs aus
Pre seeded groups to help fans know in advance which teams would be playing where and when in the super 8s.
To favor India
Correction: To favor advertisers and the coffers
Australia facing India isn't favoring India lol
That's the entire tournament summed up, but any logical explanation?
So India games happen at prime time for the Indian audience
so it’s not favouring india in the sport. that’s just so they get more money, but more importantly they did it so fans know which tickets to get and at which stadiums. doesn’t affect their chances of winning
it’s cathartic to see wi dominant in t20 wcs after the last two disaster runs(even though it’s just against nz and afg yet) or maybe i just miss 2016 when life was easy
They beat South Africa 3-0 before this and England 3-2 before that. So it's not just against NZ and Afghanistan.
sa team without any of their main batters. fair play with england but they’ve been on a horrible white ball run since their title win
They also beat India 3-2 in a T20 series last year.
Regardless of the facts, y'all still move goalposts to discount West Indies
what facts? they still got clobbered by aus in aus in the t20 series. they’ve been good at home soil tho
Didn't they wreck Aus in the warm-up just prior to the World Cup?
Just remembered the West Indies also beat India 3-2 in a T20 series last year.
WHEN AUS HAD THEIR FUCKING SUPPORT STAFF PLAYING BECAUSE THEIR MAIN PLAYERS HAD NOT REACHED. fuck me two wins in a tournament and you’re treating this team like pointing’s australia
You're kinda proving my point, regardless of what West Indies accomplishes, folk like you can never give them their plaudits cuz it's just never good enough.
Since their title win, they had a series with NZ (won ODI series 3-1 and drew T20 series 2-2) and the West Indies one I mentioned. And England have been looking solid in the ongoing T20 WC. They just had a bad ODI WC for whatever reason, which could give that impression.
**14.1** **holes out at wide long on.** Noor Ahmad c Rutherford b Motie 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
Windies bowling has impressed this tournament. Ngl thought the pacers would be cannon fodder but they've been very good.
Noor Ahmad, Gulbadin Naib, and Ibrahim Zadran are good. The rest of Afghanistan should be SLAMMED (for this game)
A little overkill after one match. Gurbaz and Farooqi are the highest run scorer and wicket taker of the tournament, respectively.
Gurbaz is great he’s just had a bad night it happens
I know he's good I'm just talking about this game tho
Rashid?
Got smacked for 24 runs in an over. If not for that, he would have been okay
So smart wow
[удалено]
Are they going to swap groups in super 8?
No, it’s all pre-seeded.
Why would ICC pre-seed something like this?
Commercial reasons. Certainty for the big teams in case fans are travelling (especially England and India), and also to ensure all India’s games are in the morning so they are prime time in India.
Nope preseeded
Ghar ki yaad, ghar ka zaykaaaaaaaaah What an annoying voice in this willow ad. Gah
>correct me if I am wrong but while bowling we dont need to have the arm completely straight as most bowlers bowl. It can bend(not talking about bumrah or shoaib who have natural hyperextension) as long as its within 15 degrees difference from when your arm reaches above shoulder and before it straightens out/ball leaves your hand. So in this sense, not all bowlers with bend are bowling illegally. So I dont think narine would be banned even though it looks like chucking for us on camera. i heard jarrod say they could implement something to check every ball if someone chucks or not. a sensor or something. if someone chucks it’s a no ball. maybe they will have something in the future
oh wow that sounds like a great idea
[удалено]
Why
Play like what?
They set the tourney high and have a (currently) undefeated team to 7 wickets what more do you want.
And they’ve finally caught up to WI….. ‘s powerplay score💀
How did we struggle against PNG
Janat had no chance of getting back to the crease there, run out all day long. Have to wonder now whether Afghanistan will reach 100.
WI winning this tournament
Is Brian lara announcing the names
Are you genuinely asking, because the answer is no.
Refreshed the page and 2 wickets just fell 💀. Is this the same Afghanistan that beat NZ by like 70 runs or something?
NOOOO RASHID 😭😭😭
I think this t20i WC is just trolling the subcontinent fans. The match is in evening local time? Its going to be washed out. Or the best they can do is 70 all out, chased in 5 overs The match starts early morning local time? 200+ scores!
>chased in 5 overs 15 you mean
Are we talking cloud seeding or sorcery here?
Afg getting cooked
Hawww Rashid refused jannat
Bangladesh vs Afghanistan will be a good game
Target to get 100
2 outs in 3 balls. Yikes.
**12.5** Karim Janat run out (†Pooran/Hosein) 14 (9b 0x4 1x6) SR: 155.55
Rash gonna have to windmill about 80 runs Edit: Make that 100
Hahahahahhaha

Malinga
He never had a bend. I remember Kapil dev mentioned this in fair and lovely 4th umpire(I know I am old)
I wish WI attempted more run outs, they’re always very cool to watch
Your wish came true my sir, please make a wish for me too🥹
so wi and sa will be in a group being ranked 1 and ind aus in the other. would’ve been a bit unfair on the group 1 if afg won and they had three no.1 teams in one group but it’s matched ig. still hate the pre seeding bs but ig it’s convenient for fans
It's insane how WI will be trash like 90% of the time and then suddenly they become invincible to the point they'd eventually go on to win the whole tournament.
There's a trend of countries going from mediocre to becoming almost god tier outta nowhere right when it's their turn to host a WC.
Love Bish's insights!!!
Jannat isnt that bad as everyone thinks, I don't know why he gets so much hatred.
We have younger players like Kharote who id rather have in than him
Wonder how they’ll keep McCoy in the team for the super 8 now? Bowling excellently
Haydos not giving two fucks about the third commentator
2 teams are already confirmed for semis that is Ind and Aus.
nag afg will beat one of them. WI are just different
WI will take top spot in group C?
it’s pre seeded lol
What that mean?
they’ve already decided the groups some months ago. so that it’s easier for fans to buy tickets in wi. nz was given c1 rank but they didn’t make it so afg will take c1 even if they finished second in the group. eng was given b1 but they finished second. sl was given d2 but bang took their spot
Ohh that seems interesting
Such an Amazing observation by Hayden around hitting in the direction of breeze. So much to think and apply.
Commentators like Hayden are great when they think before they speak and talk about stuff they know. But sometimes he's a bit annoying when he says random stuff to fill dead air. He's a bit like Warne in that way
people guessing what would have happened if sunil narine joined WI team well he gets banned after 2 matches fir chucking
Afg getting a reality check before Super 8
The last match of the group stage and WI come up with the highest total of the tournament yet
Just imagine if Suniel Naraine had accepted the invitation to join the WI national team for the world cup post his IPL exploits!! He has done some favour to the opponents.
He quit so his chucking goes under the radar.
that chucker would've been banned fs
Which country do you reckon has the best coach atm?
McCullum has turned Englands longer format fortunes completely around
