Pakistan are such a weird team.

When they are on it they are a match for anyone yet half the time they look like they can't be arsed and implode.

That win yesterday will do wonders for their confidence though. They'll be well up for it on Saturday you'd think but Pakistan being Pakistan they are just as likely to completey fuck it up

I would anticipate a similar scenario to the game yesterday where Pakistan have the win in their hands and find a way to completely bottle it! I hope I'm wrong.

The chaos makes them such an iconic side, and to be fair they do very well on the big stage regardless of form going into it. They're a very dangerous side though and I would expect them to be in the final 4.

They’re the cricketing version of the French football team.

Pretty much always have one of the best squads, but almost always find a way to lose.
 
Please don't let this curse them, but Afghanistan could get a total here for their bowlers, although it looks like there's not a lot in it for their spinners so India will probably knock them off without too much trouble. I really fucking hate the Indian cricket team.
 
Ceylon, Afghans and UP as good as out with 7 games to go, Begal, Angles, New Holland hanging in.
 
Australia have South Africa today! They have had 2 hard games to start of the World Cup, they lose this means they'll have to win the rest of there games! Think a Australia win best for England

South Africa on for a big score here and the Aussies look toothless

The run rate isn't great. The Aussies would want a few more wickets with the power that's to come, but SA aren't getting away from them. Bavuma going could be a blessing as he wasn't timing it at all.
 
Really interested to see how Australia go from here. Smith and Labuschagne need to get as close to a run a ball centuries and give a platform to someone like Maxwell to come and crunch it. I just wonder if they have enough power in their batting. SA are looking very impressive. Ngidi with a wicket and only 4 runs conceded from 4 overs!
 
Steve Smith never believes he’s out LBW.

Hopefully he loses his match fee for his dissent there.

Good job he isn’t playing at the Joie Stadium. He’d have been sent off.

Early days. Teams could lose 4 games and have an outside chance of qualifying.

Think we play Australia in our penultimate group game. We might be able to send them home.

Always nice seeing the Ozzies being pummelled though.

Losing 4 games and qualifying still you need results like this ending with with an Aussie win, teams taking points of good teams to cancel each other out! Aussies got no chance wining this now!

India and New Zealand for me will qualify south Africa are on there way too! Pakistan the wild card! It's going to be good to watch when everyone played 5/6 games
