@OneHash: You have posted the same in two consecutive post :-)

By the way, two practice match today,

Pakistan vs Afghanistan
South Africa vs Sri Lanka

Easily predictable that Pakistan and South Africa should win however nothing is constant for Pakistan team. They had 60+ runs by losing only one wicket then in one over they lost two wickets. Now they are 3 wickets down and scored 97 after 19.3 overs. We need to wait till the end to see the winner I guess.

Isn't it forbidden to post the same content in 2 separate post? I think so.

In the other thread, as I mentioned chances of Pakistan being lost is high because their total is pretty lower.

If Pakistan had their previous glory of the bowling attach then I would say they would easily win this match defending 262 runs but looking at this inexperience bowling attack I am worried if they will be able to defend it.

I will hate to see them losing because in that case I will lose 15mBTC. Let's hope the best for them. Come on Pakistan :-P

Not so easy to predict that Pakistan will win  
I know many of us have put their money on Pakistan today as they were the favorites against Afghanistan but their batting have disappointed so far. If there bowling failed too, many will lose a lot of money today.

Despite Afghanistan poor fielding they have restricted Pakistan just 262 runs. Here, what I expect some magical bowling figure by Mohammad Amir. It's look like Afghanistan will give a tough fight to Pakistan. Pakistan will upset if this inexperience bowling attack proceed.

Hate to say that there bowling is failing too.
I think Pakistan will have a bitter experience today. I hope not many people placed much bet in this match. Surely everyone was going after Pakistan. Now look at the score of Afghanistan: 61-0 over 9.1 where their target is only 263 runs in 50 overs.

At this moment the score is
AFG 111/1 (18.4)  CRR: 5.95  REQ: 4.85
Afghanistan need 152 runs

Only 152 more runs needed from rest of 31 overs where 9 wkts still on Afghanistan hands. So I think the match will go to Afghanistan if any miracle will not  happen by the Pakistan team.

Afghanistan now 200/4 after 38 overs. They should win this match, the commentators are saying the same. Unless Pakistan is able to take some quick wickets, there are no hope for them.

Pakistan team is in their worse shape I think.

I don't have words to explain how bad  Pakistan team performed  in this match and that too against one of the weak team of the tournament.
Their body language is too much down now

You must have lost your 15mBTC today along with majority of the people who bet in favor of Pakistan. I am sad for you too bro.

[sujonali1819]

Finally, Afghanistan won the match by 3 wickets with 2 ball remaining. So My prediction was correct. The match was really interesting where Pakistan tried their best to stop Afghanistan but they couldn't.

Yes you are right. Damn Pakistan team.
There is a reason that they say it's the most unpredictable team. In the world cup I guess I will think twice before placing a bet in favor of Pakistan. This team has no good use. I think they have lost 9 consecutive match?

In the other match as expected, South Africa won it. Congrats to both South Africa and Afghanistan. I loved the spirit of the Afghanistan captain.

I the entire match Afghanistan was in the driving seat. One or two wickets in an over was not enough to beat them.

Well i have a suggestion for placing the bet in the matches which involves Pakistan team. Since Pakistan can perform good in any match on any given day, we should delay our bet and place the bet later when 25 - 40 overs are done of the 1st innings. In this way we might get the low odds but our losing chances will be less.

It could have been an easy victory for the Afghanistan team, but they were made to struggle by the Pakistanis. This is why I get frustrated with these lower ranked sides (Afghanistan, Ireland.etc). They show a lot of enthusiasm in the field and put in a lot of hard work. But their finishing is horrible. Ireland can be classified as the choker team, but Afghanistan would come close.

Pakistan always had a great bowling attack in the past but that cannot be said about them now, they still have great bowler who performed in the past but they are just mere images of their prime form, i remember how lethal Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Junaid Khan used to be in their prime long time ago and Pakistan is the worst team to bet as they are the most unpredictable team in this world cup, one day they will surprise everyone and the next day the same old story as they will play as a sub par team.

What is there to get frustrated, Afghanistan is a fairly new entrant in world cricket after their war torn homeland and we have to appreciate that they are performing really well in the world stage and they have some world class players in their team who could easily fit into any world eleven. They might not have the best finishers and they might not have classical players but they are playing well and winning matches which is important.

Low odds are more risky if the team is Pakistan. In Eng vs Pak series, Pakistan lost matches even if they scored 359. Your theory can only be applied against lower team which in some cases may not come true again. You are risking more money for a lower return.
In case of Pakistan, I would always say you to bet against them in 80% match, though I too would bet for Pakistan today. Didn't expect Afghan to win at the beginning.

I agree as its going to take time for these countries to make a name for them self in world cricket. Just take a look at Bangladesh and what they are doing now and we can see Afghanistan has the potential to be good in the long term so we just need to give them time to mature. They can upset some middle ranked teams on their day.

Afghanistan cricket team is very new to the cricketing world amound the other teams and yet they have shown some great performances and talent. Rashid Khan from Afgansitan is considered as one of the best spinner of the world. I am sure in less than 5 years or so, Afganistan team will be ranked as one of the strong cricket team.

If I can remember properly, I never have seen Wahab Riaz to bowl extra ordinary. He was maximum a good level bowler at the beginning of his career. Amir was great. Junaid Khan was also good one.
I don't know how their bowling become such useless. They used to depend on their bowling much.

I think they are already doing really well, considering the precarious security situation in their homeland. Defeating Pakistan is not a mean achievement. And this victory should set alarm bells ringing. None of the teams can take Afghanistan lightly. If the luck is also on their side, they are capable of defeating any of the other 9 teams in England.
