Another drop. Have to take these chances.
I dunno why I'm rooting for the Afghans, but I am. Underdog status and thieving ICC I guess

Afghanistan are right in this.
They're actually a top side.

Afghanistan are about to implode. Not dealing with raw pace and extreme pressure. They're better off batting first and then containing rather than chasing.

They will never be consistent enough to win so many games, for that they have a really long way to go. They are capable of winning on a given day but will inevitably follow up one such game with a few poor ones.

Netherlands, I think, will finish higher than Afghanistan in this competition. They have a better all round team.

Most teams opting to chase against India despite the fact that we are brilliant at chasing. Some of the key games we've lost in last few T20 World Cups have all come while we've batted first.

Bumrah and Siraj are bowling perhaps the best spell of pace bowling I've ever seen in ODI cricket!

Young Tanzid just hittin Bumrah for a 6 with a beautiful hook shot for a massive hit.

Great start for BD. Going at a run a ball in the PP.

Need 320+ to put pressure on India.
