Probably the most likely the stop India or Australia winning it, ideally I'd like New Zealand to win it if England don't 

Aus are going to get taken apart mate too many injuries. Wouldn't be surprised to see Afghan and SA out this group, we're obviously shit as well

New Zealand are always strong in tournaments. 

 

The PSL T20 wasn't too long ago. Interesting to see how players who played in that fare in this tournament.

They still have a very strong squad but definitely the best chance teams will have against them in a long time

[Lionator]

South Africa will walk this group. Their batting line up is insane and the bowlers are good enough to back it up. England can definitely get through if we bat sensibly (spoiler: we won’t). 

[StanSP]

Even before this game I think Afghanistan were being overrated. 

 

They're good, but they still lack tournament experience. Especially when other teams are regaining strength. 

 

I think they'll finish bottom of their group.

Leicestershire actually turned wiaan Mulder from a no hoper to an elite international cricketer. Don’t tell me that there’s no magic in the Grace Road cauldron.

Helped Handscomb score the most first-class runs across the world in 2024 too.

[Angus Scott]

Mulder bowled very well, I take it he's not coming back to Leicestershire

[Super_horns]

Apparently batting first is a good advantage so hopefully take it against a weaken Aussie side .

 

EDIT: Already 2 down and Root in.

We've built well from here 

[StanSP]

Big stand broken. Feel for Root. Thought that was sliding down. 

[Super_horns]

Excellent from Duckett.

 

Unlucky for Root.

 

Brook gone cheaply again .

Need to avoid stalling here. 360 minimum to make it safe.

[StanSP]

350 was on the cards... 

[leicsmac]

Need to go big in these last four overs.

[Swarles Barkley]

Horrific from Brook Buttler and Livingstone. All of Ducketts work is being undone

[Chiltern Fox]

Well done eng. I don't think aus are getting this.

[leicsmac]

Big Joff with a little cameo at the end, 350 is a decent total.

Batters wicket though.

 

Duckett obviously the star.

Nice cameo at the end from Archer .

Hopefully our bowlers can do the job against a dangerous Aussie line up.

[leicsmac]

Slow bowlers making the scoreboard pressure work for them here.

[leicsmac]

Have to break this partnership and get Maxwell too before the end I think.

[trabuch]

Good game this. Wouldn't like to call it at this stage. Which is better than I expected. England need a wicket soo though.

[StanSP]

Think England have this.

If these two are still in by the end, I don't think so. Need two wickets.

[trabuch]

archer's head's gone
