Based purely on how well they played today, it is hard to believe that Pakistan had lost 18 on the trot at WCs.Lobby wrote: Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:10 am Big win for Pakistan, who played very well. A disaster for the Windies as this now brings them into the equation for missing out on the semi finals.
Indeed, very calm and controlled, both in their bowling and batting. They never looked like losing. Windies now need to beat SA to qualify for the semis, which on current form seems unlikely.Kiwias wrote: Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:14 amBased purely on how well they played today, it is hard to believe that Pakistan had lost 18 on the trot at WCs.Lobby wrote: Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:10 am Big win for Pakistan, who played very well.

The Proteas Women's team have never beaten Australia in any format of the game and will be looking to make history in Wellington.
Doesn't really make any difference, though, does it?handyman wrote: Tue Mar 22, 2022 9:51 am Klapped by the Aussies. Maybe not a bad thing. Now to make sure we finish 2nd and try to avoid them in the semi's.
India and England currently have better RRs than South Africa. The Windies have the worst RR. If they all end up on 8 points each, it is likely that both India's and England's RRs will have improved, while SA's will have got worse. If they do all end on 8 points each, the likely positions would be 2) India, 3) England and 4) SA.Rinkals wrote: Tue Mar 22, 2022 10:18 am We have two games left, West Indies and India. Neither of those sides are easy beats.
If we lose both those games, India, WI and ourselves will be on 8 points. England are on 4 points, but they are playing the bottom 2 sides, Pakistan and Bangladesh, so they should also be on 8 points.
So, if we lose both games and England win both theirs, we will all be on 8 points and it will come down to RR.
If we win one of the games, or weather interferes and there's a no-result, we'll end up second. And if England win both games and there's no significant weather intervention, then they'll probably be third.
So, in all probability, we'll be playing England in the quarters.
That's a fair assessment.Lobby wrote: Tue Mar 22, 2022 10:48 amIndia and England currently have better RRs than South Africa. The Windies have the worst RR.

Having said that, SA should win both their remaining matches with relative ease.
Game washed out. South Africa share the points and are now through to the semis with 9 points.
Hopefully we can avoid Australia in the sem-finals. Well done to our ladies! Makes up for our men getting crushed by Bangladesh.
