Whilst you’d still expect Australia to win, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh might be tough games if they’re playing on slow surfaces.

I think it will be India, New Zealand, South Africa and one from England, Pakistan and Australia in the top four.

Certainly looking that way. SL‘s bowling attack is mostly injured, so they’ll finish 8-10th.

Bangladesh and Afghanistan have decent bowling attacks and might spring a surprise, but the games between England, Australia, South Africa and Pakistan will probably determine the last two QF places.

The slow death defeat here for the Aussies!

If these two are still there with 5 overs left needing 60 they'll think they have a chance! A slim one though!

It was good seeing them beat but it was also good seeing their captain Pat Cummins again because he is rather easy on the eye for us women. I must say, I can’t think of many other blokes who’s worth tuning in for.

Pat Cummins. Married to an English woman.
Almost makes me want to like him.

Well this game is over

One game a day for two weeks, and one game a day 6 out of 7 days most weeks is going to really drag this out.

It is the franchise format to increase tv revenue, for "appointment to view tv", but a lot of days it will just be switch off tv. A 23 day group stage would have gained more interest than a 39 day group stage.
