@francisjery out of curiosity, how many matches were won by AI?

Many matches. I don't have a count actually. But that's what made this league interesting for me

Match 58: Pakistan vs Australia

One man's fight couldn't suffice lack of performance from the rest of the team.

Smashing half century in just 22 balls went in vain as the rest of the team collapsed just for nothing.

Match 59: New Zealand vs Bangladesh

Brilliant batting from both sides. D/L method spiced up the situation. Absolute joy for the audience.

Match 60: India vs England

A good fight for two points. It is to decide whether to stay in top 4 or to stay alive in the league.

Dominance proved once again. A crucial match at an important situation of the tournament.

Points Table

At the end of Round 15, Kiwis and Protests are holding the top two positions in the points table with 20 Points each and a very minimal difference in NRR.

Three and four are occupied by India and Australia respectively. 12 more matches to go and any change can happen in top 4 with the result of upcoming matches.

Let's wait and watch

Match 61: West Indies vs Sri Lanka

In the interest of time, I have simulated the match as the two teams already in bottom of the table and the result of this match is not gonna make any difference in top 4.

Match 62: England vs New Zealand

Controlled bowling, nice fielding. Stunning start in the run chase. One Hat-Trick in a five wicket haul changed the course of the match completely

Match 63: Bangladesh vs Pakistan

What a thriller to play the match till the lasy ball of the day. One boundary required in one ball to decide the fate of two teams.

More than half the team back in the pavilion at the end of powerplay. Tail enders stood the ground and taking team to respect.

Bowlers tried hard to restrict the opponents. What would happen when one sloppy fielders drops a catch at an very crucial situation.

Match 64: Australia vs South Africa

3 wickets in one over, that too first over of the match. What would you do as a captain and along with one of the star batsmen standing with you in the middle. Excellent recovery from damage and captain steered the team towards safety. Tail enders messed it up again.

First over in the chase made it all easy for the chasing team as the required run rate was brought under by scoring 21 runs very easily.

A well composed performance to gain the two winning points

Match 65: Australia vs Sri Lanka

Another day in paradise for bowlers. Opposition couldn't do much against top guns swing and cutters. Wrapped up for an under par score.

Opposition bowlers tried their best but for no use as the target is so less to defend.

Match 66: South Africa vs Bangladesh

What would happen to the bowlers when most of the fielders are sloppy.

Mid on dropping a catch. Mid wicket couldn't touch the ball. Wicket Keeper giving life to batsmen and square leg letting the ball go.

Damaged can't be rectified towards the end of the match when the target is almost reached.

Match 67: Pakistan vs England

A crucial do or die match. Winning is must to stay alive in the tournament. Visitors won the toss and elected to bowl. Batsmen proved it a wrong decision. Scoring in all parts of the ground.

Two half centuries set the team in the driving seat. Bowlers travelled easily towards victory

Match 68: India vs New Zealand

An important match to decide whether to stay in top 4 or play another match to decide the same. Winning this match will keep you safe, losing it will put you danger.

Bowlers obliged the captain's call and rattled the opponents for an under par score. Openers made sure that the team will reach the target without much trouble.
