Fun fact that I didnt know about Glenn Phillips until today.

He was originally born in South Africa.

Google says it's gonna rain the next 5 hours in Bengaluru. You'd think that would be it for NZ.

They lost last week due to rain even though Pakistan would have needed to pull off the second highest ODI chase ever.

Given how they 'lost' the last world cup, I'd have to ask what they did to God.

Plus losing the Rugby WC by a point with (apparently) controversial refereeing.

I'd say they lost last week due to taking 1/200 off 25 overs.

400 is a marathon. NZ were still favourites.

How many would Pakistan have to have been to have deserved to win the match at that point?

I get that it’s as close as we will get to a fair system given the absurdity of what has happened with rain rules in the past but it still hurts the team batting first and they copped it again this time around.

 

[Kram]

Would be funny to see NZ lose this.

Australia need NZ to beat India in the first final.

220 kind of arbitrary but a definite sign that the wicket to derail the innings wasn't going to come.

 

[Jascave]

Let's say if India meets Pakistan in the semi final of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, and Pakistan somehow defeats India.
The mood throughout India would be like what happened to Brazil when they lost the 1950 FIFA World Cup to Uruguay-it will plunge the whole of India into national mourning, and there will be deep resentment towards Pakistan, both on and off the field.

Can you find anything that says what percentage of teams win batting second in DLS effected matches? Because I can only find a journal article from 2015 that says the team batting first wins 64% of the time and an article in the Roar from 2017 that says the team batting 2nd wins 60%. Both of which don't seem greatly researched.

Would not have a clue.
For all I know it could be 99 per cent of the time the team batting first gets favoured.

But the definitive metric would be the amount of times the team batting first doesn’t have an interruption and wins.

If they play out 50 overs and do so under the assumption that they are not going to lose any, they will bat normally with the aim of batting out those 50 overs and structure their innings accordingly.

The beauty of D/L is that for the team batting second they don’t just have to match the other team’s score by the same point etc etc - the system as I said is as good as it is going to get because it factors in wickets lost, wickets available, runs scored, overs left, overs gone, everything.

But the team batting second will ALWAYS have the equation in front of them as to what they need to do.
That is true of any run chase rain impacted or not, but when the time gets restricted and one side has to maintain the rage for 25 overs not 50, it’s hard not to feel for the defending team.

 

[Plugger35]

We've won the toss and chosen to bowl first.

Normally I would have preferred to see us bat first but with some rain forecast batting second is probably the best option if it is a DLS game.

One change for us with Ferguson in for Sodhi.

 

[chickenonachain]

New Zealand have a beautiful national anthem not sure that was the best version of it

 

[frankrizzo]

Australia need NZ to beat India in the first final.

Which venue suits us best for semi? Not sure everybody knows the 2nd and 3rd matchup changes venues if Pakistan qualify 4th.

 

[MJG14]

Latham relieved after that drop.

 

[JimmyBC]

Feels like a minnow snorefest

 

[Headless]

Can play!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Nice to see Mathews get to face a ball

If that was to happen, the other two finalists may need to forfeit then get out of Dodge.

NZ to save the world from WWIII tonight

 

[NYRB]

Despite probable defeat it would be nice to see an Angelo Matthews in a last cameo counter attacking innings before he goes back into international retirement

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Sickening. Left arm poo with more wickets.
