I think Afghanistan have actually performed better than Pakistan this tournament, despite what the results immediately suggest. In regards to the level they are compared against the other nine teams, for them to finally break through and bat a full innings against England (who I would probably argue are going to win the whole thing) is nothing to sneer at. Meanwhile Pakistan has so much history and depth within them, able to just train against all nations in the world as they see fit, but are failing to beat the Windies who are actively fielding an injured Andre Russell every game.

It looked like Afghanistan would win against Sri Lanka, there was some good bowling from the Afghan camp until Sri Lanka upped their bowling. Afghanistan against Pakistan will be interesting. The damage has been done to the Pakistan team. After the England game, I thought they would have given Australia and India a good game. Amir is a good bowler ;) But bad fielding and batting is letting the team down.

Have to agree looks as though it’ll be the usual suspects. It would be fun to see a major upset - Pakistan beating India would have been great to see.

Fucking rain though, honestly pohms can’t get anything right.

The India and Pakistan match would have been great if it wasn't for the rain. Pakistan didn't have that energy they had from the England game. I'm thinking either Bangladesh or Afghanistan could beat India or Pakistan. It has happened before.

NZ have not faced a competent team yet, we will see how they will fare against the Aussies and England. Some of those dropped catches in the SA vs NZ game looks like some match fixing shit is going on.

Both sides dropped catches, if I'm recalling correctly.
But yea NZ is on a tier of their own, above pakistan and bangladesh but below the top 3.

In horrifying news, indian fans are being indian fans

At least it wasn’t shit, I suppose. Imagine the state of India’s cricket grounds...

Update: So, Sri Lanka beat England after they failed to chase down the total. The Slinga is still bowling as well as ever.

A nice little upset, but I’d love to see England keep losing - especially to the Aussies next week. Should be a good match.

We should start a poll for the winner.

Three surprisingly great games. Afghanistan played great today, they should have won it. I thought Afghanistan was going to beat India but India's bowling did good too. Hopefully Afghanistan pick up a win or two in their remaining games, they have been playing with passion compared to some of other teams in the tournament. I think Windies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka might upset India. India are bound to choke in the remaining games.

That was another close call for NZ. Well played by the Windies,

I think the Aussies will retain. Sure they lost to India but years of experience and Ricky Ponting at the helm, the other teams will choke under pressure.

Sensational. Nz/windies is the match of the cup so far for me.

It is starting to feel like it's Australia's cup to lose, although their bowling is still much weaker than time around.
England is feeling so much pressure as a team, and the Indians feel so much pressure individually that a choke is on the cards. Although I also don't think England (or anyone) took Sri Lanka very seriously, and paid the price.
New Zealand have been great under pressure but if they're going to death bowl like that, and their openers continue to get out cheaply then they will struggle in the big games. Relying on Kane to get them through feels like the 2015 final with McCullum all over again.

Still, it's early days and there's some massive games to come, who knows who will have momentum heading into the finals
 
I was giggling at all the brown kids who were pretending to know the words to God Save The Queen - or just not singing it.
 
Absolutely seething at that outcome tbh lads, the kiwis were robbed so many times
Probably the best odi game I've watched tho, what a rollercoaster

I agree it was a great game to watch, and I agree the NZ side was robbed. The final ball had the English all out, so by my understanding of the form it should have meant the kiwis would have won and so I don't think we should have had a super over finish - granted, it did give it a good spectacle to the end.
 
Pajeets took a knee for BLM today.

Lose very very badly to their eternal enemy, the Paki lol.
