2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

Good to see Mahmudullah in a position to calculate how many runs from the target he needs to get 100.

My final four predictions:

India
South Africa
New Zealand
England

India to face England in semis again & get knocked out.

So nice of Mahmudullah to stay in the crease and help deliver 20 kits towards grassroots cricket.

Shakib, Liton, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah, 4 decent batsman and they still looked as they had no clue on how to bat (except Mahmudullah). This was Bangladesh's best chance to play competitive cricket in world cup. If Afghanistan had those 4's kind of stable batsman with their team, they would be a semi-final bound team.

Afghanistan could still be in the reckoning for a semi-final spot, should a few results go their way. Assuming they score wins against SRL and Netherlands, Need to beat either of India/ South Africa or Australia on their way.

it's cool and all, but how did you think Bangladesh gonna get 8 points?

Its insane how South Africa has scored 1727 runs in 240 overs. They are playing at 8 runs per over and New Zealand who are second behind SA in terms of NRR have scored 300 less runs in 13 less overs. Just shows the sheer dominance of this batting line up!

The opposition is losing the plot against them imo! They get aggressive & the bowlers go into their shell - the last ten over (Australia Game) & Holland Game has shown that they can be stopped but it all depends on opposition heads not going down easily.

People are also forgetting that fortunately SA have got to bat first on belter of tracks quite a few times, also helped by some foolish toss decisions from opposition teams like Eng & SL
The way Ind are chasing totals, imagine if they got to bat first vs afg in Delhi, vs Ban in Pune and vs Pak in Ahmedabad
Their real test will be on Chennai pitch vs Pak and Kolkata pitch vs Ind bcoz they already lost 1 match on a tricky pitch to Ned.

Agreed plus Australia (should have restricted them to 250-260 - 7 dropped catches) & England have been struggling to score runs & you expect most teams to win against Sri Lanka (their bowling is abysmal) & Bangladesh. Let's see if they can score bucket loads of runs v Pak - bowling has been MIA so far but Chennai will help them I guess & most importantly IND & NZ who are looking confident AF!

I am changing my thoughts on India losing vs England. India will still lose a game, but not vs England or South Africa. We will end up losing to Sri Lanka at the Wankhede- the most unexpected of all losses. Remember, the Lankans have gotten back Angelo, who strengthens their middle order+ bowling.

Ahmedabad riding on the 'Sustainability' bandwagon by playing more 'Green' teams

Don't try and make sense of the scheduling because there is none.

I wouldn't say that SA is a small team
