Wow Pak complete a record WC chase! Bangladesh of course flounder disappointingly.
Kusal Mendis terrific innings…he’s finally gaining consistency to go with his tremendous talent. So perhaps there is still hope for the likes Madhevere and Marumani.
Yeah, I was there are the stadium and the support for Pakistan in our city was just incredible. No other place in India will a DJ shout "Jeete ga bhai jeeta ga" (Who will win?) and a capacity crowd shouts "Pakistan Jeetega" (Pakistan will win) Amazing support.
Flat wicket, 4 centuries in the game but I can tell you it was Pakistan's death bowling that won them the game, they pulled back things brilliantly. Rizwan and Abdullah were terrific in the run chase. It really was a high quality chase.

At the rate cricket is going, I'm not sure we will have an ODI World Cup much longer. So perhaps we don't need to worry about the format?

Afghans look to be going decently against India. If they can post north of 250, it’s probably still not good enough.
But that would be the situation where Rashid Mujeeb have to deliver. First two world cups afghans were playing in England and Aussie conditions but here they are in the SC. If they don’t win any games vs the top 9 sides…it’s a bad look. That will essentially prove that Rashid and Mujib are “franchise bashers” only.
But if they can spin India into defeat…that would be something!
