Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self

By losing this match Sri Lanka is now out of this world cup and India has confirmed its spot for semifinal. South Africa is also in.
And now there are four teams and from them 2 will be gone in Semifinal. NZ, AUS, AFG and PAK. If Afghanistan will win today match so Afghanistan will gain 8 points and will compete with AUS and NZ. Australia has 3 matches remaining. So this is hard to predict that who will go in Semifinal rounds. So let's see who will go.

Yes you are right my brother. The teams which you have mentioned have now a tough competition to qualify for the semifinal. Australia and Afghanistan have 3 3 matches left and Pakistan and New Zealand now 2 2 matches left.
Exactly now this is really hard to predict at this about qualifying. But I think Australia and New Zealand will confirm their spots for Semifinal.

I think the way the Afghanistan team is playing, they may upset other teams and make their place in the 4th place, eliminating either Australia or New Zealand from the top 4. By the way, every remaining match of many teams is very important for them to qualify for the Semi finals and I think we are in to see some of the best World Cup matches now.

Even if the Netherlands win today, which is highly unlikely, they will get 6 points and come in line with other teams standing on six points each including Pakistan and Afghanistan

Afghanistan vs Netherlands match this match is very important for afghanistan because if afghanistan wins today it will make their way to semi final much easier. World Cup 2023 Afghanistan team is performing well so expect them to win today's match very easily. A good performance against the mighty Pakistan led to a win against Afghanistan. If he can play well against Netherlands today by maintaining his consistency then today's match is more likely for them to win. If Afghanistan wins the toss today, Afghanistan can win the match even if they give 300 runs or 270 runs to Netherlands if they choose to bat. Afghanistan's batting and bowling is very good.

Even if Afghanistan wins today's match, it will not guarantee their place in the semi finals. After that Afghanistan has other two matches with Australia and South Africa, and they will have to win both these matches against tough opposition in order to secure their place in the semi final of the world cup.

Let's check the odds for today's match and see how bookies feel about the result of this match. Clearly, if you are to bet on this match, go with the Afghanistan team and be safe.
