Still it’s good if more nations are Included. Isliye to they had an American t20 league started. More the merrier :).

My point was - Top teams refuse to play the start-up ones because they're not on par but how will the start-up ones come to par on an international level if they don't get to play the more experienced teams? It's like a vicious cycle.

Congratulations to Pakistan for winning the match.

Congratulations to Saud Shakeel for winning the PoTM.

Cheers..

yes. They had to play qualifiers to qualify and even could not make it despite that.


days of Malcolm Marshall. Lara. Jason Gardner. Viv richards and now not even in WC.

On the other hand Netherlands in Wc and they played a decent game today all things considering….

O well. Good start to WC so far. Word is matches in southern India might be interrupted or missed due to rains. Let’s see how it impacts tables and rankings. 🍻🍻

Btw, I guess I'm late to the party but I'm only just finding out that West Indies isn't playing cos they didn't qualify? How in the heck did that happen? They used to be one of the most exciting teams to watch!

I'm probably behind the times where Cricket is concerned but I thought these top tier teams were an automatic shoo-in for events like the WC and only the bottom rung ones had to battle it out to qualify.

Dang, I'm bummed they aren't in the WC!

Yes its a bummer not seeing WI in the WC WI team ki current form is horrible sadly. Gone the days of Gayle, Richards etc, gone r the days when WI used to rule cricket.

Yep, it's good if they are. I noted that some European nations cricket tournament is ongoing simultaneously with the World Cup.

I agree. But tbh. They are getting a lot more chance to play quality teams now. I think cricketing world has realized this to expand. Heck Asian games also has cricket as part of the games this time. :). So while WI is out of WC. Netherlands is in. 🔥🔥🔥

Today there are 2 matches. One at 10:30 and other at 2.
