ICC Cricket World Cup - England 2019

England and New Zealand = both have a good shot at reaching semi final stage.

New Zealand can do better than England - might reach final.
 
Easy peasy.

Who can stop my powerful Bangladesh?
 
The tigers roar. All of Bangladesh will surely celebrate long and hard into the night. This is a famous win, even bigger than their victory over South Africa at the 2007 World Cup. This is a different side to the one that 'upset' South Africa there. This one is an emphatic win by a much-confident side led by a tactically astute and inspirational captain in Mashrafe Mortaza. They've shown the value of preparation going into a big tournament. Arrived a month early, played a tri-series which they approached with much seriousness. Planned meticulously, won four games. Shunned experimentation and focused on results. Beat West Indies twice, including in the final to clinch their first-ever multi-nation tournament, and here they are now. On the grandest stage of them all, against a good South African side. Upsetting their apple cart with a much-superior display. Make no mistake, this is a thumping for South Africa.

Soumya Sarkar set the tone with some breath-taking off-side stroke play. The momentum was sustained by Shakib and Mushfiqur before Mahmudullah gave them the final kick. All said and done, their highest ODI total may have yet not been enough had even one bowler lost his plot. The game was very much alive while Faf and Miller were around, threatening a late heist, only to be flattened by Mustafizur and Shaifuddin. Momentous occasion for Bangladesh.
 
Good going BD. I was for some reason supporting SA but ended praying for BD's wins.
 
Bangladesh played cleverly . Squeezed the life out of South Africa. Win by 21 runs.
Great start for Bangladesh campaign in this World Cup
Enjoyed watching this match
 
Well played bd. See? Ramadan ain't even an excuse. Pak cricket should be ashamed of the rubbish we dish out, game after game. monday's game is a mere formality for England. Bd are here to play cricket. Pk are here for iftaar.
 
Without hashim Amla, SA team looks average.

BTW congrats to Bangladeshi members on pdf.
 
Why is Amla, Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers not playing?

Afghanistan :p

Afghanistan is definitely a strong team against Bangladesh in T20 but not in ODI yet. Yes, i gotta admit they have chance to win against us. But you better start praying that your prediction don't end up like Brendon McCullum's :lol:
 
Amla went for 3 runs against England I think. The lowest top order scorer for SA

He was injured early on. Took a ball to the helmet and was visibly shaken afterwards. He continued his innings later but was evidently not fully fit.

Congrats on the win by the way. Professional performance.
