game #31, :PAK b. :BAN by 7 wickets

 

:BAN just scored 204/all out in 45.1 overs, so it was a really easy task for :PAK to complete the chase with 205/3 in only 32.3 overs

Tomorrow, game #32 features :NZL vs :RSA at 9.30 a.m. CET in Pune and it's likely to be a great clash and a decisive matchup for the top 4 final lineup

will it be :RSA year?

 

they already grabbed the Rugby WC and Today they did show that they're for real also in the CWC

 

meanwhile :NZL look to be struggling a lot right now...and Henry's injury doesn't look good at all for them

 

game #32, :RSA destroyed :NZL by 190 runs

 

the red hot :RSA bats set a very high target of 357/4 in 50 overs in the 1st inning, score that :NZL couldn't even think to match and in fact, they only managed to get 167 runs / all out in just 35.3 overs to lose big time this key match

 

now they have to be very careful of a possible (but unlikely, tbh) comeback by the surprising team from :AFG to save their place among the Top 4

Tomorrow, game #33 sees :IND facing :SRI at 9.30 a.m. CET in Mumbai

 

on paper, there's no match, but it's always a derby and I'm sure :SRI would try everything they can to steal a prestigious result (even if it doesn't mean anything to their ranking)

Tomorrow, game #34 features :AFG and :NED at 9.30 a.m. CET in Lucknow

 

this is a very, very important match for :AFG that desperatly need a win to stay in contention for an improbable but not yet completely out of reach 4th place

game #34, :AFG beat :NED by 7 wickets, keeping their dream alive

 

:NED scored 179/all out in 46.3 overs, then :AFG smashed that scoring 181/3 in just 31.3 overs

Tomorrow, it's time for the 2nd last doubleheader of the tournament: first, :NZL vs :PAK at 6 a.m. CET in Bengaluru, then a big classic, :AUS vs :ENG at 9.30 a.m. CET in Ahmedabad

we had to wait until match #35, but finally the unfair DLS method hit...and hit very hard :cry:

 

:NZL in fact might even lose their Top 4 spot because some rain ended well in advance their match vs :PAK and gifted the Asians of the most improbable win of the tournament after giving up good 401 runs in their bowling inning :yikes: :facepalm:

game #35, :PAK beat :NZL by 21 runs (DLS method)

 

as written above, in the 1st inning :NZL went 401/6 in 50 overs, then :PAK offensive inning was stopped twice and finally ended because of rain showers when they were 200/1 after 25.3 overs

therefore, the result was determined with the (in)famous and unfair DLS method and :PAK came home with the win

in the other match of the day, instead, there were no climatic issues and :AUS could, continue their comeback towards the top places in the standings

 

game #36, :AUS beat :ENG by 33 runs

 

:AUS started the match with a 286/all out in 49.3 overs, leaving :ENG with a solid chance to chase that score

 

but the reigning champions once again struggled with their bats and went "only" 253/all out in 48.1 overs without completing their chase (which was not so unlikely until Ben Stokes fell by hand of Adam Zampa -bowler- and Marcus Stoinis, the man who caught Stokes' ball)

Tomorrow, it's time for game #37, with the super clash between the best teams of the tournament so far: :IND vs :RSA at 9.30 a.m. CET in Kolkata

wow! just wow!

 

:RSA confirmed themselves as an awful chasing team, but Today it would have been a "mission impossible" stuff for every team in the World

 

game #37, :IND destroyed :RSA by 243 runs :yikes: :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

the Host Nation sailed through the 1st inning, increasing their pace over after over and finally setting a target of 326/5 at the end of the 50 overs

 

:RSA superstar batsman Quinton De Kock fell after just 10 balls at the start of the 2nd inning and from that moment on, it was just a painful punishment for the Africans

they only managed to score a miserable 83/all out in 27.1 inning and went home with one of the biggest losses in this CWC

Tomorrow, game #38 features :BAN vs :SRI at 9.30 a.m. CET in Delhi, not the most anticipated match of the tournament, to say the least

after the shameful controversy, :BAN took advantage of the situation and got a win that leaves :ENG dead last in the standings (for now) :yikes: :facepalm:

 

game #38, :BAN beat :SRI by 3 wickets

 

:SRI posted a decent (but not unforgettable) 279/all out in 49.3 overs, then :BAN answered with 282/7 in 41.1 overs and won the match

Tomorrow, game #39 might be a decisive one with :AUS facing :AFG at 9.30 a.m. CET in Mumbai

 

:AFG win might put them really in contention with :PAK and :NZL for the 4th place, even if they have another really difficult task in the last game vs :RSA, meanwhile :PAK have to face :ENG and :NZL have to play their last match vs :SRI, teams with no more interests in the standings

What a great day for Virat Kohli as he scored 101 not out on his 35th birthday!

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
