Ireland can secure a top 4 finish with a win against NZ. I fancy that more than Afghanistan getting close to the Aussies to be honest.Great win that and a big one too - 20 runs shows how well we batted and the bowlers were fantastic. One dropped catch but NZ dropped Jos let's not forget! Sit back and cheer for an Afghanistan win on Friday or failing that a close game where the Aussies don't get much on their NRR. Then go and give Sri Lanka a spanking on the Saturday. Used to seeing England chase, but wonder if we're better setting a target on these pitches so we can work it out a bit more. Sensible batting today, not going too hard too soon.
There’s always a chance of any result in 20/20. That’s why it’s taken off like it has.no chance
We play well we winThere’s always a chance of any result in 20/20. That’s why it’s taken off like it has.
We lost to Ireland. No doubt you suggested they had no chance of beating us either.
Beat Sri Lanka is all we can try to do and see if it is enough.
Weather depending, of course.We play well we win

Top 4 means no qualifying next time round.
Maybe. I think NZ and Australia will both win and it will come down to run rate, and Australia's will be lower than NZ I reckon - although could come down to the toss. Afghanistan can't bat unfortunately, but they can be dangerous with the ball. With pressure on the Aussies you never know.
I think NZ are through any way with England playing Sri Lanka unless it's a washout, also Ireland beat NZ run rate would come into play
Home team will cook up a result vs Afghanistan, so the net run rate will be in their favour ? Bat first, score over 200 and then bowl them out for next to nothing
I just turned it in as they came back from the rain delay. Is it too wet to play fairly?Is anyone else watching Bangladesh get ripped off here?

I didn’t really see the discussion about it. Wouldn’t Das have slipped on the dry wicket?100%
TMS have just pointed out they've never seen covers come off and supermops etc. stop before the rain has finished.
Linton Das on 60no slipped over twice in 2 balls trying to run between wickets, second one got him run out.
If they'd won, India would be almost certainly out...
Gotta keep India in no matter what.100%

I’d put it down to luck rather than bias but it didn’t do Bangladesh any favoursI didn’t really see the discussion about it. Wouldn’t Das have slipped on the dry wicket?
It does seem harder to time the ball now too though.
It‘s another of those situations where fans can decide bias from officials without 100% proof though.
The tournament is being destroyed by the weather anyway.
I’d go that way too, but it could easily be shaped into a theory that keeps India in the tournament.I’d put it down to luck rather than bias but it didn’t do Bangladesh any favours
