[Cricket] T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia

[Audax]

England's game now.

 

[Mellotron]

Game over as soon as Phillips was gone. He was their last hope.

 

[Steve in Japan]

These games are a lottery. A game of dropped catches. Pleased England are winning of course, but not totally convinced they can win this competition. Kane W. should have a word with himself - striking at a run a ball when the team need 8 an over.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Comfortable win. England can tighten up too. Decent consistent performance in the end.

 

[knocky1]

CJ on as sub - great catch!

Fantastic over from Woakes

48 from 18 balls

Do you know who he came on for? I wondered if it was tactical use of the 12th man? You want Jordan's hands on that long boundary. Two great catches for our Surrey man.

He came on for Liam Livingstone in the 16th over.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Can't see us beating the Kiwis.

If I was good at predicting results and betting on them, I'd be well in.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Hopefully Rashid Khan is fit for Afghanistan against Australia, can’t see them winning, but he’ll certainly help us with the NRR.

We’ll at least have the advantage of knowing exactly what’s needed as playing last.

Great win today

 

[knocky1]

Winners odds interesting Australia now 12-1.

 

[Audax]

Aussies will need a *big* win against Afghanistan now. That, or an upset in one of the other games. But looking at the fixtures remaining, I'd bet on all three of the teams on 5 points winning and the semi finalists being decided by how big a win each of the teams manages.

Eyes on Group 2 tomorrow, looking for if any more upsets happen. With SA beating India the group looks interesting. Zimbabwe have Netherlands next and thus a good chance to move to 6 points. Bangladesh vs India and Pakistan vs South Africa. Bet on India coming out looking to immediately react to their loss to SA. And while Pakistan have been struggling, they still have the capability to put the brakes on SA sealing a semi spot early.

Could be an interesting one bubbling up at the moment.

India scored a formidable-looking 184, but Bangladesh have started off quickly with 30 off three overs.

(Fully appreciate they'll now be skittled out for under 100 now I've written this)

Zimbabwe lost to Netherlands this morning, so I think their chances of progressing are now done.

Meanwhile, as you say, Bangladesh openers are currently putting the frighteners on India. Litton Das with a 50 off just 21 balls. He's now on 56 from 24 balls, with Bangladesh on 59/0 from 5.5 overs. The chase is on (until Das gets out).

 

[Beanstalk]

Innings of the highest quality going on right now by Litton Das. Absolutely outrageous batting.

 

[Bozza]

Oh, do f*** off rain.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Bangladesh will be doing the rain dance right now

 

[Audax]

And it's bucketing down rain with Bangladesh well ahead of the DLS score!

 

[Audax]

Interesting on the BBC commentary currently. Bangladesh wanted to chase because they knew the rain would come and making a quick start to the chase might give them a win. Whereas India wanted to bat first and didn't seem to be concerned about the rain.

If the rain passes and the game can restart, a lot will depend on how many overs are lost, the DLS target, and how well Das restarts his innings.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Huge win for NL and makes it look so much better after getting the lowest score in T20 world cup history.

 

[Audax]

Big run out, Das gone thanks to a direct hit.
