2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup - India (UAE/Oman)

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Looks almost game over for Ireland. 2 back to back upsets against Sri Lanka... Looks like they are the best associate nation right now.

Insane spell of bowling from Nabi! 4 overs 2 maidens 3 wickets and 2 runs! Wow! West Indies although have power hitters, looks like they have too many eggs in the basket situation. I see them easily getting knocked out in the group stage.

When the batting fires they'll beat anyone but that's probably a 1/3 chance.

Does anyone believe that Ireland are purposefully losing this one not wanting to go in Group 1 of Super 12?

Based on the two warmups so far, it feels like Ishan Kishan has got himself in a good position to play in the main XI. It is now between Surya and Hardik. I think if Hardik is not going to bowl, Surya should be picked. Maybe a big clue was given out today from Rohit's statement about himself/Kohli/Surya chipping in with a few overs of bowling when needed. It points to the fact that Hardik is not ready for bowling.

Hardik is a good hitter but his utility rapidly diminishes without his bowling skills and with the presence of big hitters/finishers like Pant, Jadeja. My XI for Game 1 vs Pakistan would be:

Rohit
Rahul
Kohli
Ishan
Surya
Pant
Jadeja
Ashwin
Bhuvneshwar
Shami
Bumrah

This would be the ideal XI but they will fit in Hardik for Ishan for sure, I don't have any hopes from them, maybe MS' input makes a difference though.

Some really good warmups and qualifier matches these. So based on the upcoming matches looks like Group A is going to be tough?

Group A

Teams

Australia

England

South Africa

West Indies

Sri Lanka

B2 - Could be Bangladesh here looking at their NRR.

Group B

Teams

Afghanistan

India

New Zealand

Pakistan

Ireland/Namibia

Scotland

If this in turn turn out to be true Group A is such a tough group with only top 2 making it to semis...

Just read that Scotland can be eliminated even after winning two matches if they loose against Oman.. interesting! So all 3 have a chance. I hope PNG win making Scotland and Oman qualify but that is saying something that is so difficult not impossible.

I think all teams can technically still qualify, although it'd take some extraordinary results.
