Jesus tonight, this is a major upset, or is it..? The Afghanistan batting has been really poor.

Why is it bad if they get knocked out? Bad for us, I mean..

because the Afghans can beat either Ire or WI, which would improve our chances of staying high up the super six table (HK is probably not going to upset those two powerhouses) Plus we have points from the Afghans already (and we wont play them anymore)

Rain delay. If a few overs a lost, could it help Afg?

Wow it really looks like the Netherlands and Afghanistan are done... this changes everything. Back to square one for us. No experiments. We have to dispatch all teams. No chances taken. I had a feeling we would have a crazy tornament like this because none of the teams are consistent. Hong Kong could dispatch Scotland on their day too.. don't know how they didn't televise all of it. Ridiculous decision.

PNG might even have to lose their next match for their benefit.. crazy..

As much as Afghanistan have risen to international fame I think they will be huge flops in test cricket unless they have some specialists we don't know about. I dont see them having the ability to build an innings worth 500 runs ever. I know we are not the best but I do think we have a couple of guys who can stick around if they are picked.

Their bowling is what I used to really enjoy watching. The first time I watched them was in 2010 in the World T20, and they looked good. They had three bowlers who were literally averaging around 142Kph. Shapoor isn't the force he was 8 years ago, as you would expect. Dawlat is 30, as is Hamid Hasan.

If Afghanistan crash out I will be quite pleased. At this rate I doubt they are capable of upsetting Ireland or the West Indies anyway. If we can beat Scotland, it is realistically going to come down to us beating one of Ireland or the West Indies in the Super Sixes. Every match in this tournament is essentially a quarter-final.

So confirm in the super 6’s group A only play group B?
If that’s the case WI and Ireland play us, Scotland and HK.
They’re both likely to beat the other two and only have one strong side to play against whereas we have two tough sides to beat. Am I correct?
