This Bangladesh NZ match looking like it may end in a real hum dinger.
Ban 173/4 chasing 266 with 14 overs to go and two set batsmen in.

Bangladesh looking like good value for money these days.

So at 18 years old, Rashid Khan has the best strike rate and bowling average and fourth best bowling figures in ODIs. Well done

[The Paleontologist]

India have this in the bag. England gonna demolish Pakistan and crumble against india.
I hope no more rain falls for the rest of the tournament too

[uncle sam]

this tourn so boring

[Dizzy28]

3 Asian teams make the semis, who would've thought dat?

Well the subcontinental teams made up 50% (4/8) teams in the tournament.

The odds were in their favour moving forward just from a numbers perspective.

The point is most ppl had only India moving forward from the subcontinent teams.
The four favoured teams were India, Aus, Eng and SA but the rain had a say in the Aus matches and well SA just choked again.

[Dizzy28]

^ I will never write Pakistan off nah. The difference between them and WI is that WI consistent as a poor team. Pakistan is mercurial and can be the best on their day.

For some reason they have always been this way even when they had Younis, Akram and the Miandads in their team.

[trent]

Yes, Pak even looking to upset the home team today!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

talk about upset

[meccalli]

Hope Bangladesh can pull another one.

[toyolink]

The English appeared disinterested today.
I wonder if they were in some way affected by the terrible fire.
The polished approach just wasn't there.

India Pakistan final...
