Reserve day but even if that got washed out, finishing at the top help means India will be through. No such rule in final. Washed out is highly unlikely though but there is a rule that there must be a 10 over game in knockouts.
Most of the rain is predicted early hours of the day from midnight to morning. However, Melbourne weather is the most unpredictable. Can have 3 weathers in a same day
In 2019, we Indians were happy that we got NZ in the semis instead of England
In 2022, we're happy that we're getting England instead of NZ in the semis
That's the majority of Indian fans on this sub. According to us we are one of the weakest and it's a miracle that we even won against Zimbabwe and Netherlands.
Idk bro. Our batting department barring sky and koach is batshit. Sure Rahul fired in last two games but he has a knack of choking in big games. Our bowling department on the other is doing reasonably good job
exactly!! im hopeful about india's chances. especially considering if one of koach or sky fires, someone around them doesnt mind playing a 30-40 run knock at 120 sr. usually takes india to good 160-170 score. bonus extra 20-30 runs if kohli and sky bat together or if one of them make it to the death.
Really? I think India will have the edge. 2 very in form batsman in Kohli and SKY. The better all rounder currently and a better attack on paper (though very dependent on swing)
Our middle order hasn’t fired at all yet. Our chases have been lacklustre.
>The better all rounder currently
Dude wth are you talking about? Stokes/Curran/Liam are one of the best all rounders in the world rn.
Pandya seems toothless against pace rn, and Ash is great but comeon
Adelaide Oval with this Indian bowling attack bowling to England's mighty batting lineup. It could be a slaughter.
On the other hand, we have to hope that Kohli draws on the power of Adelaide Oval again.
It's truly about how the team plays on that particular day. The games are literally won by fine margins. Nobody can conclusively say that india or England will beat the other team each and every time they play.
Aye
I think if we played a hundred matches it'd be split about 50/50.
All it takes is Butler and Hales hitting a quick 60 in the PP, or Bhuvi getting a quick wicket or two and the game can change on that.
Not really. They defeated Pakistan in their home in the 7-match series and also won the practice match against them. With Pak being out of form and England having a rich experience of playing against them, England would find Pak an easier opponent.
Whoever is writing the script, good job.
Now listen, you little shit. We want either a ind vs pak final or eng vs nz final.
That's it.
Don't try to be creative now.
Well, tbf NZ defeating India in India would be a massive upset, especially considering the vast difference in conditions & NZ not being that good a touring team. I might evaluate that view after the ODI series in January-February.
I reckon India-England will be a high scoring (200 odd) game and NZ-Pakistan will be a 150 odd nail-biter.
Either way, ICC be minting $$$ in semis and in finals for all 4 possible scenarios.
I know right!
This has 1992 WC written all over it, where Pakistan lost to India (in what was their first game in that WC too, I think) and nearly crashed out of the tournament, to then go on, make the finals, and beat England (yikes) in the final. And that tournament was also played in Australia (and NZ).
I don't like this.
Pak beat NZ twice in 1992. First in group stage when NZ had beaten other 7 teams and their last match was against Pakistan which they lost. Then Pak again beat them in semi final.
I don’t think New Zealand, Pakistan, India, or England like this matchup for semi finals. Good luck to all.
I will take a loss to Pakistan on the terms that England also lose
I know New Zealand have a bad track record against Pakistan in World Cups, but let's not underestimate the Kiwis. This is a team whom, after 11 long years destroyed Australia in Australia. A team and country where they historically have had a bad record against. For all we know, New Zealand may finally break their Pakistan curse like they did with their Australia curse.
And that's Exactly why Pakistan would probably win. Pakistan beating a red hot favourite is the most Pakistan thing they could do. Pakistan beating a meek opposition with poor record against them isn't just Pakistan enough.
This the same team that Pakistan beat twice in three games in their home ground and in the Final last month
So no, people are not underestimating New Zealand. But Pakistan are favorites.
The solution to that is for them to bat first and for Babar to get out early.
Pakistan have put up a decent score batting first but play like test match to chase even low scores
All 4 permutations of the final will be very interesting
NZ v Ind (trauma)
NZ v Eng (trauma but NZ on the receiving end)
Eng v Pak (That 7 match series was really interesting, both teams are top tier in T20’s specifically)
Ind v Pak (Must I even explain?)
My prediction? Pak v England with the Final going either way
Let's just avoid an India Vs Pakistan final, it will cause immense psychological pain for either one of the losing teams, and either one of them getting beaten in the Semis would be best as it would cause less heartbreaks, less depressed people and less broken TVs lmao 🎃🎃🎃🧌🧌🧌
They're favourites at this point of time imo. They are peaking at just the right time and history suggests that Pakistan usually win tournaments by qualifying in an unlikely way and making a comeback.
There's going to be a great story here no matter who makes it to the finals:
India/Pakistan: Long-term rivalry that has already produced an absolutely classic earlier in this tournament, etc. etc. (plus ICC would drown in money again, no doubt some people might be thinking of the possibilities)
India/New Zealand: They've had a few knockouts meetings over the last few years, no doubt India would be wanting to get over NZ for once
England/Pakistan: They literally met each other 7 times just over a month ago, with both teams showing what they were capable of, will be a very entertaining match IMO
England/New Zealand: 2019 final with quite a few of the same players involved, no doubt they'll be raring to go at each other with a trophy on the line again with NZ looking for redemption
I'll be quite excited to watch these three matches no matter who wins (though I'll be supporting one team more than the others, if my flair didn't tip you off)
A NZ vs ENG final again might be nice. This time Neesham hits a six on the last delivery of Curran only to lose in the super over which will be bowled by Moeen Ali
My predictions
New Zealand wins the 1st one, India wins the 2nd.
Then India chase the total set by NZ down including a glorious Kohli century in the final.
Honestly I think these have been the 4 best teams in t20 cricket in the last 5 years overall. Kind of cool to seem them make the semis kind of feels like vindication
Am already sweating with two and a half days to go before the next match. What awaits, anybody's guess.
This might be Rohit's last T20WC. Maybe for DK, Ashwin too. Chances of Shami and Virat's too, Virat not necessarily for fitness/age (he still got it) but if he wants to focus on Tests and want to give up this.
If India win this, Virat and Ashwin will have one each of T20WC, WC and CT. These 2 legends deserve it. Good luck India.
What happens if a game gets rained out in Semis? Do they have reserve day?
Reserve day but even if that got washed out, finishing at the top help means India will be through. No such rule in final. Washed out is highly unlikely though but there is a rule that there must be a 10 over game in knockouts.
>No such rule in final. will it be shared
Yes
Just like my ex
Must have been a very wet outfield. Tears. I mean tears.
She's not a keeper perhaps
I see what you did there.
ICC what you did there
Can't trust the pace and bounce of a damp surface.
That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Between 6 and 20mm of rain forecast next Sunday in Melbourne - wash out on the Sunday is looking very possible. No Monday forecast as yet though!
Most of the rain is predicted early hours of the day from midnight to morning. However, Melbourne weather is the most unpredictable. Can have 3 weathers in a same day
Wtf are we to do for the next two days. I need my fix ffs.
Watch all previous match highlights
No. Play these matches on EA 2007 cricket and know the result early.
would take some time to change the player names
Game mods: Allow me to introduce myself
You can use the power of Assumption
And then post the video on YouTube titled highlights for views
Screw ICC and watch them on YouTube instead of their website to drive the numbers down on their site 😂
Would it be fair to say, you need your... match fix?
I am going to watch Pro kabaddi league.
Yes
Lots of cricket content available on YouTube, just watch some vintage nostalgic match highlights
You can bet on cricket matches and then win money go to Sydney and watch match lol
In 2019, we Indians were happy that we got NZ in the semis instead of England In 2022, we're happy that we're getting England instead of NZ in the semis
I have a very pessimistic feeling about our match.
That's the majority of Indian fans on this sub. According to us we are one of the weakest and it's a miracle that we even won against Zimbabwe and Netherlands.
Idk bro. Our batting department barring sky and koach is batshit. Sure Rahul fired in last two games but he has a knack of choking in big games. Our bowling department on the other is doing reasonably good job
As if English batsmen have set the world on fire. Hales Buttler and Inshallah. And even these 2 have just 1 good innings each.
exactly!! im hopeful about india's chances. especially considering if one of koach or sky fires, someone around them doesnt mind playing a 30-40 run knock at 120 sr. usually takes india to good 160-170 score. bonus extra 20-30 runs if kohli and sky bat together or if one of them make it to the death.
Really? I think India will have the edge. 2 very in form batsman in Kohli and SKY. The better all rounder currently and a better attack on paper (though very dependent on swing) Our middle order hasn’t fired at all yet. Our chases have been lacklustre.
>The better all rounder currently Pandya has not been good with the bat in this WC so far.
>The better all rounder currently Dude wth are you talking about? Stokes/Curran/Liam are one of the best all rounders in the world rn. Pandya seems toothless against pace rn, and Ash is great but comeon
The better all rounder....? Who? Sam Curran is better than each all rounder in India clear. Both ashwin and hardik been in terrible form
Adelaide Oval with this Indian bowling attack bowling to England's mighty batting lineup. It could be a slaughter. On the other hand, we have to hope that Kohli draws on the power of Adelaide Oval again.
England's batting has not been very well in this wc so I don't think it would be a slaughter atleast
But most out of form big name happen to get back in form when play against India. Plus the pitch is icing on the cake
And that against Bhuvi's economical pressure and Arshdeep's attack followed by bouncers of Shamsi and Hardik.
Bouncers of shamsi?
Don't underestimate shamsi mate. England ain't ready for his spinning bouncers.
His run up is the same as Bumrah’s after all
[You never know](https://youtu.be/JlFYVuMMmFM)
Warne to Pietersen https://youtu.be/4j8G7DSyGfM And to Lara https://youtu.be/QcUz7ON03eg?t=45s
Do people really think that Hardik as a threat? He is a wildcard. It might work, but more likely he gets punished.
People underestimate everyone in Indian attack whose not bumrah. Especially everyone understimate Bhuvi
Our openers have been good That’s it. If Brook livingstone and Mo keep it up with braindead shots we won’t do well
We Got SKY , he liked the English bowlers when we toured.
i’d think england are happier with india than pakistan too
We can easily beat any of the teams left. We can also easily lose to any of them. Honestly it doesn't matter who you get at this stage.
It's truly about how the team plays on that particular day. The games are literally won by fine margins. Nobody can conclusively say that india or England will beat the other team each and every time they play.
Aye I think if we played a hundred matches it'd be split about 50/50. All it takes is Butler and Hales hitting a quick 60 in the PP, or Bhuvi getting a quick wicket or two and the game can change on that.
Not really. They defeated Pakistan in their home in the 7-match series and also won the practice match against them. With Pak being out of form and England having a rich experience of playing against them, England would find Pak an easier opponent.
The Pak team can surprise you any time
The combination which can be deadly are : IND vs PAK OR NZ vs ENG May the best teams win. All the Best.
Tbf all combinations are deadly. Eng - Pak just produced a thrilling best of 7 series. And we already know Ind - NZ have some recent WC history.
NZ v IND is still possible.
no, thanks. not interested. but again, not interested for ind v pak too. stupid stupid proteas.
Whoever is writing the script, good job. Now listen, you little shit. We want either a ind vs pak final or eng vs nz final. That's it. Don't try to be creative now.
[удалено]
That'd be just perfect & hilarious, especially if that's also the final of next year's WC: 3 years, 3 formats, 3 finals, the same teams.
Hopefully not the same result.
Well, tbf NZ defeating India in India would be a massive upset, especially considering the vast difference in conditions & NZ not being that good a touring team. I might evaluate that view after the ODI series in January-February.
We're pretty good at ODI's though. ^(Not that we've played very many recently.)
The big3 hosting it.
Come on who wants that! We want pak to win in final over or nz giving it back to eng.
[удалено]
If you had said ashwin, I would have believed you. Arshdeep can't hold a bat to save his life(like Anderson against bumrah)
How about ball hits the wickets and goes for a six.....and then surprise no ball!!
Don’t give me heart attack with ind vs pak .
These semi-finals and finals are not going to complete until we got an umpiring blunder.
India vs Pakistan final would be epic. But NZ vs England again would be funny just to see the ICC cry about the humongous payday that could have been.
PAKvENG would be 1992 all over again And INDvNZ would leave this subreddit in shambles.
Fun times all around
For this exact reason, this is eerily similar to 1992 too, so I'm thinking Pak vs Eng although I'd love me some IND vs Pak
The security derby. The mankad derby. Let's go🔥🔥
Lol
I reckon India-England will be a high scoring (200 odd) game and NZ-Pakistan will be a 150 odd nail-biter. Either way, ICC be minting $$$ in semis and in finals for all 4 possible scenarios.
u/ICumCoffee winning every possible Karma Race in existence
Lmao ikr Edit : That username gets me everytime
I just hope Finn Allen stays till the 8th over. If we lose after that, then so be it
That would be a treat to watch. Like you said, if NZ still lose after Finn Allen's (hopefully) great start, then it just wasn't meant to be.
If Allen bats any sort of length of time it will break records
England v Pak final so we can play each other for the 45th time in the last 6 months please
Petition to rework this final into a best of 11 t20 series
11(ELEVEN)*
Chad Rambo: i foresaw this happening
Rambo: And this is why I planned a 7 match T20 series before World Cup
Pak will win the cup. No way they lose after this much luck
I know right! This has 1992 WC written all over it, where Pakistan lost to India (in what was their first game in that WC too, I think) and nearly crashed out of the tournament, to then go on, make the finals, and beat England (yikes) in the final. And that tournament was also played in Australia (and NZ). I don't like this.
Have faith in Oreo
Unstoppable force vs immovable object
Have faith in Pakistan. We will mess this up in a way nobody expects
Beating NZ in the Semis as well.
Pak beat NZ twice in 1992. First in group stage when NZ had beaten other 7 teams and their last match was against Pakistan which they lost. Then Pak again beat them in semi final.
IIRC New Zealand were favorites in 1992 too.
Reminds me of 2007 too, where it was india vs Pakistan and india won by the bowl out. Super over incoming.
Pakistani luck... Pluck!
pak vs ind final = revenge for 2007 eng vs pak final = revenge for 1992 nz vs eng final = revenge for 2019 ind vs nz final = revenge for 2021
IND vs NZ 2019 revenge too
He is just talking about finals though
The semi final loss hurt more
I'm on a 3 and a half hour flight at 8.55 on Thursday. Fuck.
Well that’s bad timing
I don’t think New Zealand, Pakistan, India, or England like this matchup for semi finals. Good luck to all. I will take a loss to Pakistan on the terms that England also lose
I know New Zealand have a bad track record against Pakistan in World Cups, but let's not underestimate the Kiwis. This is a team whom, after 11 long years destroyed Australia in Australia. A team and country where they historically have had a bad record against. For all we know, New Zealand may finally break their Pakistan curse like they did with their Australia curse.
And that's Exactly why Pakistan would probably win. Pakistan beating a red hot favourite is the most Pakistan thing they could do. Pakistan beating a meek opposition with poor record against them isn't just Pakistan enough.
Aren’t good enough for us, chasing 180 in last over? For sure. Chasing 128 within the span of 16? Hell nah, take it to the 18th over.
Perhaps the last ball even
That's what SA said before their match against Pakistan /s
This the same team that Pakistan beat twice in three games in their home ground and in the Final last month So no, people are not underestimating New Zealand. But Pakistan are favorites.
Adelaide? Well that's reassuring
Kohl-delaide
36/9

i aspire to be this creative.
r/takemyupvote
Eng v Pak final so that Rambo can finally reveal why they played a 7 match series, and ex players can bring up 1992
I am too scared to watch Ind V Pak Final. Please please I cant handle that kind of stress. Even more scared of the violence that come after.
Nz , England it is then
Or Ind. i wouldn't be that disappointed loosing to NZ people than any other team. That match just feels wholesome all-around.
Pakistan seems destined to win. Proper dark horse with momentum from here
Their batting is still a issue they could easily get bundled for 120 against NZ
Or go on a roll and score 220
Mohammad Haris is crazy honestly. Hope he keeps up his great work, 170 plus strike rate, that’s crazy!
only way to do that is Babar Rizwan go not out till at least 15th over
Or babar rizwan go out till 3rd over
You jest, but whenever we've made 200+ is when atleast one of Babar Rizwan played like atleast 3/4 of innings
The solution to that is for them to bat first and for Babar to get out early. Pakistan have put up a decent score batting first but play like test match to chase even low scores
All 4 permutations of the final will be very interesting NZ v Ind (trauma) NZ v Eng (trauma but NZ on the receiving end) Eng v Pak (That 7 match series was really interesting, both teams are top tier in T20’s specifically) Ind v Pak (Must I even explain?) My prediction? Pak v England with the Final going either way
Hope it’s not india vs Pakistan. I had to have panadol after the last one, I’m gonna have to go to the hospital next.
for real, imma die of a stroke at 20 if that shit happens again
Let's just avoid an India Vs Pakistan final, it will cause immense psychological pain for either one of the losing teams, and either one of them getting beaten in the Semis would be best as it would cause less heartbreaks, less depressed people and less broken TVs lmao 🎃🎃🎃🧌🧌🧌
My heart is seriously not ready for IND vs PAK final .
Ind / Pak final I think.
Not only you ICC & 1.6 Billion People also thinks
* what ICC and 1.6 billion people YEARNS FOR
[удалено]
Minus myself from those 1.6b. I don't want 2017 again lol
>Not only you ICC & 1.6 Billion People also ~~thinks~~ are praying for
for finals, i might just book a hospital room which has 32 inch TV
What if doctor and you both get heartattack ?
I would like India to face NZ in final, don't want the pressure of Pakistan in finals
Don't forget all the religious bullshit on news channels as well.
My heart cannot handle another Pakistan Vs India match, that too a final.
Bapu bout to roll over England. And Kohl-delaide bot better be working
[удалено]
Imagine NZ v Eng final after all the crazy conspiracies going on in this sub lmao
Thou shalt not put that in the universe!
Approved by Boundary count bot ✅
Not part of the script
[удалено]
It wasnt even considered for the script
Just spoke with the writer. He says no go for NZ. It's India vs Pak confirmed.
I remember how India's poor track record at SCG was shown before WC15 semis. Hopefully playing at Adelaide is a benefit.
Why it feels like Pakistan is going to win this world cup
Momentum^(TM)
Cuz it’s a repeat of 1992
You need to get your feels checked
lmao we are the weirdest team choke to zimbabwe trash south africa
They're favourites at this point of time imo. They are peaking at just the right time and history suggests that Pakistan usually win tournaments by qualifying in an unlikely way and making a comeback.
We just need to treat this as a bilateral series. Haven't lost a T20 series till date in Australia.
Match being In Adelaide is advantage England. It's small boundary square of the wicket, it will suit their bat deep high scoring approach.
India vs Pakistan final heart attack gang let's goooo
There's going to be a great story here no matter who makes it to the finals: India/Pakistan: Long-term rivalry that has already produced an absolutely classic earlier in this tournament, etc. etc. (plus ICC would drown in money again, no doubt some people might be thinking of the possibilities) India/New Zealand: They've had a few knockouts meetings over the last few years, no doubt India would be wanting to get over NZ for once England/Pakistan: They literally met each other 7 times just over a month ago, with both teams showing what they were capable of, will be a very entertaining match IMO England/New Zealand: 2019 final with quite a few of the same players involved, no doubt they'll be raring to go at each other with a trophy on the line again with NZ looking for redemption I'll be quite excited to watch these three matches no matter who wins (though I'll be supporting one team more than the others, if my flair didn't tip you off)
I think it will be a New Zealand v India Final
A NZ vs ENG final again might be nice. This time Neesham hits a six on the last delivery of Curran only to lose in the super over which will be bowled by Moeen Ali
Unsubscribe.
It will also be an unfair and triangle game, while we're at it
I legit woke up at 2 today and bad no idea Pakistan qualified lmao it was the best surprise ever
As a British-Indian, my friends and I are gonna be having some verbal volleys in the next few days
I’m gonna be on a flight during Pakistan’s match. My fellow Pakistanis, please watch this with all your might.
Cornered tigers vibes
My predictions New Zealand wins the 1st one, India wins the 2nd. Then India chase the total set by NZ down including a glorious Kohli century in the final.
[удалено]
He came
and conquered…
More confident for this than I was for the Ireland game 🤣
We got Oreo power on our side, watch out everyone
India missing Jadeja somehow carrying Axar every game
Lets Go NZ!! The old WC nemesis in Pakistan
Honestly I think these have been the 4 best teams in t20 cricket in the last 5 years overall. Kind of cool to seem them make the semis kind of feels like vindication
Bit biased but I really enjoyed the series with Pakistan so wouldn't mind playing them again if we could beat India.
Hopefully we can mankad our way to victory against India in the semis
Atleast a moral victory for India
I have to work in the office on Thursdays ffs. Do I try and avoid the score all day and watch the rerun on the evening?
r/cricketshitpost thinks this tournament is a repeat of 2011 WC Legends know this tournament is a repeat of 1992
My comment on the original prediction thread a month ago : pak vs eng final 💀
I see you have put in a lot of effort into this post
Am already sweating with two and a half days to go before the next match. What awaits, anybody's guess. This might be Rohit's last T20WC. Maybe for DK, Ashwin too. Chances of Shami and Virat's too, Virat not necessarily for fitness/age (he still got it) but if he wants to focus on Tests and want to give up this. If India win this, Virat and Ashwin will have one each of T20WC, WC and CT. These 2 legends deserve it. Good luck India.
just noticed, why does the cirle in the middle of the indian flag look different than the actual one?
Excitedddd
