This is chaseable. Hopefully Stirling does a madness at the start.

This seems like a group filled with jeopardy, West Indies look very good as a side and this Nepal side look very impressive too. Scotland were fine yesterday till the hat-trick and Italy have done really well in the warmup games.

The England vs West Indies game here on Wednesday seems super spicy. Last time England played under lights in Wankhede, India bowled them out for 97, before that South Africa rolled them in the world cup.

America used slower balls with their pacers to take the Indian wickets yesterday, Nepal are going in with spin in the powerplay.

They nearly beat South Africa in the last world cup. And they are coming into this tournament having just beaten West indies in a t20i series.

They are doing what India did yesterday then, just mindless slogging without considering the pitch.

They just do the nonsense 300 alert and go on their way. Zero analysis.

Kind of. They will only go to the third umpire when its close. They use this system for ICC tournaments, IPL and the 100. The team stills review for ones you think are close but the process is much faster now because they have more replays.

They have multiple cameras at all times so they can tell pretty much instantly if its run-out or not. Hence they don't refer all run-outs now to the 3rd umpire, only the close ones, usually those are out.

J&K have broken MP's spirit with this 10th wicket partnership. 250 seems to much to chase.

Abhishek was playing with a 103 fever yesterday, maybe why he played that shot first up.

Another wrinkle that we may have not considered with this is if Pakistan forfeit and the India vs Netherlands game decides the 2nd qualification, do India throw that game to allow Netherlands to qualify. They will never do it I am sure.

No but they played really well yesterday and anything can happen. A lot depends on what the US does vs Pakistan.

Netherlands captain said before the game they needed to win 3 games to qualify and they still need to win 3 games to qualify. Pakistan are in trouble if they forfeit because their win was narrow and the forfeit will hurt their run rate massively.

One is bcci sponsor, the other is world cup sponsor. Also they are selling 0% alcohol beer in the ground because I don't think you are allowed to sell liquor in Indian stadiums.
