ENG vs PAK Match Analysis

 

Pakistan’s last group encounter against England at Eden Gardens might be a literal qualifier for a semi-final position, depending on the outcome of the New Zealand-Sri Lanka game on Thursday in Bengaluru. If the match is called off, Pakistan will only need to beat England to get to the semi-finals, given both they and New Zealand have 8 points. If New Zealand defeats Sri Lanka, Pakistan will need to defeat England by a big margin to surpass the Kiwis on NRR.

 

Meanwhile, England achieved their first win in five matches by defeating the Netherlands in their previous game. While they are out of the semi-finals, they are still vying for the final Champions Trophy 2025 qualification berth. The top seven teams in this World Cup, as well as the hosts Pakistan, will qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy. That victory over the Netherlands propelled England to seventh place and increased their NRR to -0.885. As a result, they have a lot to play for in their last league game if they want to secure that slot.

 


ENG vs PAK Team Preview & Squads

 

England

 

England was cruising at 133-1 at one point before being reduced to 192-6. Ben Stokes’ dashing 108 off 84 deliveries contributed to their score of 339-9. England eventually won by a massive 160-run margin. Dawid Malan, who hit 87 off 74 balls in the previous game, was another batter who made an impact. In this World Cup, the left-handed opener has 373 runs at an average of 46.62 and a strike rate of 103.32. He has been England’s most successful batter and will be looking to end the campaign on a positive note.

 

With Jos Buttler and Joe Root struggling for runs, England will rely on the youthful and inexperienced Harry Brook to deliver. He hasn’t had many chances in this World Cup, but we believe this is the game for him to shine.

 

England is solely responsible for their current condition. If they had batted with a little more responsibility, they would not be fighting at the bottom of the standings. Nonetheless, despite a mini collapse against the Netherlands in Pune, their performance there will give them some confidence.

 

England’s bowling has been the team’s weakest link throughout the competition. Except for leg-spinner Adil Rashid (13 wickets in 8 innings at an average of 27.53) and Chris Woakes (9 wickets in 7 innings at an average of 30.11), all others looked relatively safe. This surface will favor bowlers, particularly spinners, therefore Rashid and Moeen Ali should do well here. This surface will also bring David Willey into the equation, and he may take a few wickets here.

 

England Squads

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, David Willey, and Adil Rashid.

 

Pakistan

 

Pakistan is doing what it is famous for staging a tremendous return after being nearly bankrupt. After losing four consecutive games, their chances of reaching the World Cup semi-finals appeared bleak. However, a combination of luck and bravery has kept them alive.

 

After choosing to field first, they ended up conceding 401 to New Zealand in their most recent match. However, Fakhar Zaman’s spectacular hit of 126 off 81 balls helped them reach 200-1 in 25.3 overs and win the match by 21 runs using the DLS method.

 

Since rejoining the squad, Zaman has scored 126* and 81. Pakistan will be hoping he maintains his excellent form against England. Captain Babar Azam seemed to have found his stride as well, scoring an unbeaten 66 off 63 balls in the encounter against New Zealand. Mohammad Rizwan has lost his touch in recent games, but we believe he will do well in this game because he is due for a huge one.

 

Pakistan’s bowlers were punished in the previous match, but they won’t be too concerned because the ground in Bengaluru did not assist the bowlers. The pace three of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Wasim Jr. will find ample assistance on this surface and will pose a challenge to the English batsmen. Iftikhar Ahmed’s spin overs will be vital in the middle, as English batsmen are expected to target him. Pakistan may be put under strain if he goes for runs.

ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 44 | England vs Pakistan – Can Pakistan beat defending champion England? | Nov, 11 Eden Gardens, Kolkata

 

Earlier in the competition, Pakistan won at Eden Gardens when batting second, but the other two matches were won by the team batting first. Pakistan must bat first and then beat England by 287 runs to swing the net run rate in their favor. As a result, we anticipate that both sides will opt to bat first.

 

This match will have some cloudy circumstances at times, but it is expected to be a clear sky with temperatures above 30 degrees throughout the game at Eden Gardens.

Eden Gardens is an excellent batting wicket, and bowlers will have to fight hard for their dismissals. The par score will be over 300 runs in the first innings, and the surface in Kolkata is expected to be fast.

AUS vs BAN Match Analysis

 

This match is the 43rd of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup. Australia, who have won five times, will play Bangladesh in an attempt to gain momentum before the semifinals. In the previous match, Australia pulled off one of the most memorable victories against Afghanistan, pinching victory out of the jaws of loss. Before this match, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka, however, they are not in the running for the next round.

 

Australia will be confident because they have won six straight games. In the previous game, they showed their never-say-die mentality, and the team will try to capitalize on this momentum. Bangladesh’s performance versus Australia is not good. They have only triumphed over them once, and that was back in 2005. It will be intriguing to watch if they can win this game unexpectedly.


AUS vs BAN Team Preview & Squads

 

Australia

 

Along with Travis Head, David Warner, who has batted well in this competition, will try to get off to a strong start in this match. The team will be counting on Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, and Marnus Labuschagne to put in strong performances because the middle order struggled in the previous game. Maxwell, along with Marcus Stoinis and Pat Cummins, offers firepower to this batting lineup. He scored the finest ODI knock in years in the previous game.  

 

Throughout this tournament, Australia’s bowling attack hasn’t been at its best. To get back into the swing of things, the team will need strong performances from Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc with the new ball. With Cummins, Adam Zampa, who has performed well, will try to bowl tight middle overs. This bowling attack gains power from Maxwell and Marsh.

Pat Cummins (c), Josh Inglis (wk), David Warner, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head/Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood.

 

Bangladesh

 

Due to their struggles at the top, Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan need to perform at their peak if they are to get off to a great start against Australia’s potent bowling attack. The middle order will be severely hampered by Shakib Al Hasan’s absence, and Mahmudullah, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Mushfiqur Rahim will be needed to score runs. For the team to win, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Mahedi Hasan must score fast runs in the lower middle order.

 

The bowling of Bangladesh would want to take advantage of the vulnerabilities that the Australians have displayed at the top. Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam need to be efficient with the new ball and arrive early. Due to their extensive expertise, Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are expected to deliver a strong performance by the opposition. Australians have good hitters, therefore Mahedi Hasan, the fifth bowler, needs to put on a good show.

Once the dew settles in, bowling beneath the lights becomes difficult. In this game, the team that wins the toss will not think twice about bowling first and try to limit the opposition to a modest total.

On November 11, the skies over Pune will be cloudy.

 

It would be difficult to bat under these conditions, so batsmen would have to concentrate on rotating the strike and keeping the scoreboard moving. In these conditions, the team batting first will be pleased to have more than 300 runs on the board.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka (41st Match) – Highlights

 

New Zealand had no choice but to win against Sri Lanka to stay in the race for the semi-finals. Because Pakistan and Afghanistan are chasing them right behind in the semi-race. In such a match, New Zealand took a big win. They bowled out the Lankans for 171 runs and in 23.2 overs, they won by 5 wickets. It increased New Zealand’s chances of playing in the semi-finals, making the equation difficult for Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 

As a result of this victory, after all the matches, New Zealand’s points are 10. Their net run rate is +0.743. Pakistan and Afghanistan have 8 points with one match remaining. Their net run rates are +0.036 and -0.338 respectively. In other words, to overtake New Zealand in the race for the semis, these two teams will not only have to win their next match, but it will have to be by a large margin.

 

New Zealand scored 86 runs in the opening pair against Sri Lanka at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday (November 9) in a run chase. Rachin Ravindra returned to the pavilion as soon as Devon Conway was dismissed for 45 runs. Rachin Ravindra scored 42 runs off 34 balls. Then came the 42-run partnership between Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell. Williamson’s departure broke the pair after he accumulated 14 runs.

 

Mark Chapman was run out for 7 runs. Mitchell was dismissed for 43 off 31 balls. Glenn Phillips and Tom Latham helped New Zealand the rest of the way. Phillips scored 17 off 10 balls and Latham scored 2 runs.

 

Earlier, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 171 runs in a batting disaster. They lost three top-order batsmen within 32 runs. Opener Pathum Nisanka 2, Kushal Mendis 6, and Sadeera Samarawickrama were out for 1 run. Opener Kushal Perera continued to bat in a marble-cut style despite the fall of 3 wickets. He picked up a half-century in just 22 balls. Meanwhile, Charith Asalanka departed for 8 runs. At that time, Perera was playing a little bit. He did not take any runs in the next 5 balls after scoring a half-century. He got out in his 28th ball after scoring 51 runs.

 

After that, Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva slowly made a pair of 34 runs. Santner dismissed Mathews and broke their partnership. The Lankan all-rounder scored 16 runs off 27 balls. In the previous match against Bangladesh, he had to leave the field after being timed out and could not play a single ball. Silva departed after 1 more run was added to the scoreboard. He scored 19 runs off 24 balls. After that, Maheesh Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera played for a long time. Both were playing dot balls one after the other. Rachin Ravindra broke their 15-run partnership by returning Dushmantha Chameera. he scored 1 run off 20 balls.  

 

Like the Chamira- Theekshana duo, the Theekshana Dilshan Madushanka duo also stayed at the crease for a long time. They also made some runs at this time. Along with Theekshana, Madushanka was also contributing to the scoreboard. Sri Lanka’s innings ended when Madushanka got out for 19 runs after a pair of 43 runs. Theekshana was unbeaten with 38 runs off 91 balls. Trent Boult took 3 wickets for the Kiwis. Lockie Ferguson, Rachin Ravindra, and Mitchell Santner got 2 wickets each. Besides, Tim Southee took 1 wicket.

Players to Watch Out for in England vs Pakistan ICC ODI World Cup 44th Match

Players to Watch Out for in England vs Pakistan ICC ODI World Cup 44th Match

Players to Watch Out for in England vs Pakistan ICC ODI World Cup 44th Match

Pakistan still has a slight hope of the Semifinals in the ODI World Cup 2032. Depending on a lot of equation of run rates they must win against England in their last group stage match. On the other hand, England must win this match to keep their Champions trophy hope alive. Let’s dissect the head-to-head statistics and take a closer look at the standout players from both England and Pakistan.

 

In the last five matches, England has dominated the rivalry against Pakistan. Here’s a quick recap of the last five head-to-head encounters:

England has been a dominant force in recent matches. In 2021, they secured a 3-wicket victory with just 12 balls remaining, followed by a convincing 52-run win and another 9-wicket triumph with 169 balls to spare. However, in 2019, Pakistan turned the tables, winning by 14 runs. Despite that setback, England bounced back, clinching a 54-run victory in another match later that year.

Assessing Pakistan’s Odds for Semifinals in the 2023 ODI World Cup after NZ-SL Match

Assessing Pakistan’s Odds for Semifinals in the 2023 ODI World Cup after NZ-SL Match

Assessing Pakistan's Odds for Semifinals in the 2023 ODI World Cup after NZ-SL Match

In the wake of New Zealand’s convincing five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on November 9 in the 2023 ODI World Cup, Pakistan finds itself facing an uphill battle to secure a spot in the highly coveted semifinals. The Men in Green, who currently have eight points in the tournament, must now secure a resounding victory against England to stand a chance at making it to the top four. Let’s delve into the statistics and scenarios that will determine Pakistan’s fate in this crucial match.

 

New Zealand’s triumph has catapulted them to 10 points after nine matches, accompanied by an improved net run rate of +0.743. In contrast, Pakistan sits at eight points with a net run rate of +0.036. The disparity in points and net run rate adds pressure to Pakistan’s upcoming clash against England at the Eden Gardens on November 11.

 

To qualify for the semifinals, Pakistan faces a daunting task. The Men in Green must secure a victory against England by more than 274 runs at the Eden Gardens on Saturday, November 11. In the event of batting second, Pakistan would need to chase down the target in a mere 2.3 overs. The sheer magnitude of these requirements indicates that Pakistan’s chances have been severely compromised, leading many to consider them virtually knocked out of the competition.

 

Adding another layer of complexity, the outcome of the Pakistan-England match will not only decide Pakistan’s fate but also influence England’s qualification for the Champions Trophy 2025. A victory for England ensures their berth in the prestigious tournament, while a substantial defeat could jeopardize their participation in the ICC event scheduled to be held in Pakistan two years later.

 

A closer examination of Pakistan’s journey in the league round reveals a missed opportunity that could have altered their current predicament. If Pakistan had secured one more victory in the 2023 World Cup league round, they could have secured a semifinal berth even with a narrow win over England. The match against South Africa at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on October 27 stands out as a critical turning point. Pakistan, having set a target of 271, had South Africa reeling at 260/9 in the 46th over. However, a crucial 11-run partnership between Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi guided South Africa to victory, denying Pakistan a crucial win.

 

As the cricketing world awaits the showdown between Pakistan and England, the implications of the NZ-SL clash are undeniable. Pakistan’s path to the semifinals has narrowed significantly, and the team finds itself on the brink of elimination. The outcome of the upcoming match not only shapes Pakistan’s fate but also holds the key to England’s future in champions trophy qualification. Pakistan fans must hang tight and hope for a thrilling match against England at the Eden Gardens. We are about to see if they can do the undoable task.

SA vs AFG Match Analysis

 

Afghanistan was on the verge of a historic victory at Wankhede as they reduced Australia to 91 for 7 while defending a 291-run total. Shahidi’s troops were defeated by Maxwell’s heroics and a pair of lost catches in the field. Afghanistan will undoubtedly benefit greatly from the match. They should be expecting to rebound stronger against an equally tough opponent in their final and crucial match in Ahmedabad.

 

The Proteas have been brilliant with the bat in this World Cup, with QDK at the helm. The middle order of Dussen, Klaasen, and Miller is very dangerous and capable of powering the club to a large total. South Africa, like Australia, has struggled in run chases, with their most recent match being one example. At Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Bavuma’s squad was knocked out for 83 runs while chasing 327 runs.

 

Afghanistan must bat first once more and give it their all in order to put South Africa on the back foot and ensure improved fielding in order to end the game clinically, even with the ball.


SA vs AFG Team Preview & Squads

 

South Africa

 

South Africa appeared to be the only team capable of challenging the hosts and possibly defeating them in this World Cup. The men in blue, on the other hand, were simply too good for the Proteas. Quinton de Kock was knocked out cheaply in the run-chase by Siraj. Shami claimed the wickets of the number three and four hitters, while the Indian spinners dominated the rest of the middle order.

 

It is a large stadium in Ahmedabad, and QDK will be an important player on this field due to his IPL expertise. The opposition, on the other hand, has a strong bowling attack and their spinners might be effective on this surface. And, although having been quite impressive when batting first, South Africa, having already advanced for the semi-finals, could use this game to strengthen their chasing talents.  

 

The bowling attack performed admirably in the previous match, and the team will need early wickets from Chris Woakes and David Willey. The Netherlands have performed well in the middle overs, and Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, and Livingstone’s periods will be vital for the team. In this game, Moeen Ali will try to take advantage of the conditions.

 

Afghanistan has been in terrific form with the bat, and the Proteas will profit from this match as they head into the semi-finals. Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram, for example, are crucial to the middle order and will be desperate to bounce back. Spinners Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi can cause problems for Afghanistan’s in-form and dependable batsmen. Kagiso Rabada is another vital bowler for South Africa who can be dangerous and give crucial breakthroughs. Overall, the Proteas are a formidable team that will be eager to avenge their recent defeat.

Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Lungi Ngidi.

 

Afghanistan

 

Rashid Khan and Hashmatullah Shahidi squandered the first opportunity to dismiss Glenn Maxwell, who edged a ball from Khan. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was soon dropping a sitter at short fine leg. These two instances were presumably replayed in the thoughts of Afghanistan players after Maxwell stole the game in the way he knows best.

 

Prior to the game against Australia, Afghanistan had successfully chased down a total in three consecutive matches. Their batting has looked quite mature, and they paced their innings well against Australia. Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, and Azmatullah Omarzai’s regular efforts have made the middle order look quite good thus far. However, opener Ibrahim Zadran’s century against a great Australian bowling attack must have strengthened their confidence.

 

Senior players on this team, such as Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan, must work together to plan their bowling strategy for this game. In terms of bowling, Afghanistan must adapt and evolve. They will face a strong batting group that has performed admirably while batting first. If Afghanistan is given the opportunity to bowl first, they will face their most difficult challenge of the World Cup thus far. They have a promising overall group that needs to improve their field performance.

The side batting second has won two of the three games at this site in this competition; thus we predict that if both skippers win the toss ahead of this game, they will choose to field first. Humidity will not be a factor in this game because the level will not rise above 30% during either innings. There will be no rain and the temperature will be over 30 degrees.

 

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium provides significant assistance to bowlers due to the lack of velocity in the wicket. A first-inning score of 300 or more should be enough to win the game.
