Toss - Afghanistan, who chose bowl

Result - Afghanistan won by 7 wickets and 1 ball remaining

Player of the match - Mohammad Shahzad (Afghanistan)

[CerealKiller]

Simply unbelievable. Shahzad and Stanikzai gave us a very good start, and Mangal and Nabi finished it off brilliantly. A bit disappointed from the pacers though. Looking forward to doing well in the main tournament ( and winning a lot of vCash ).

Afghanistan beat West Indies... wow....

That shouldn't be that shocking, though. Just notice the lineups, WI did put their second lineup. Afghanistan have been doing so well recently in real cricket with Shahzad in some super form. And WI have been terrible, in real cricket also.

9.6  Max Sorensen to Shaun Marsh, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4)

12.4  Max Sorensen to George Bailey, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1)

Post lineups

Post reviews of your second round performance from warm-ups if you haven't yet. Post lineup for first round of main tournament. Make sure to include a genuine / wicket-keeper and mark at least FIVE blowers.

Post lineup before 48 hours from this post otherwise lineup from previous round will be retained.

Spoiler: Fixture

1st Match, Pool B: India v Pakistan at Dharmasala
Pitch: Green

2nd Match, Pool A: Sri Lanka v Ireland at Nagpur
Pitch: Sticky

3rd Match, Pool B: Afghanistan v Australia at Kolkata
Pitch: Hard

4th Match, Pool A: England v Bangladesh at Chandigarh
Pitch: Flat

5th Match, Pool B: Zimbabwe v New Zealand at Bengaluru
Pitch: Flat

6th Match, Pool A: South Africa v West Indies at Delhi
Pitch: Dusty

Spoiler: Pitch description

Hard - A hard pitch with a lot of bounce on offer, and will suit batsmen who play on the back foot well. The ball is bound to reverse swing in the end.
Uneven - Great pitch for teams batting first, and bowlers who can bowl reverse swingers later in the innings. Ideal to produce matches like this.
Sticky - Offers no swing, spin or seam whatsoever. The worst pitch to play cricket on.
Flat - It's simply a road.
Slow - Slow pitch, the ball comes on to the bat late. But runs can be scored quite easily off the bowlers once set.
Dusty - Great pitch for spinners and all sorts of batsmen.
Green - A heaven for fast bowlers and players who play on the back foot well.

Pitch types are specified under each fixture.

STATISTICS:
No statistics for warm-ups as there were only two games each side and since managers could have tested different combinations probability is that most of the players have played just one game. So we request you just take bit of your time and compare the performances from warm-ups round 1 & 2. The results are indexed here.

Well bowled I must say, won't mind going with the same XI as we have both Batting and Bowling potential in it.

 

[zwarrior]

Hardik Pandya was expensive in both the matches whereas Rishi Dhawan was decent. And even Ashwin was bit expensive in both the matches. So, included Jaddu in place of him as he can bat too.
