T20 World Cup 2021

I was very fortunate to pick up a last minute ticket for this match and I must say that it was a complete anticlimax - one of most beautiful anticlimaxes ever in fact. I’ve never felt more serene watching the BCs play it was really quite weird. Best part was watching about 10k Indian fans all up and leave simultaneously once we got to about 65/1.

Got up this morning expecting to read that we'd lost and to complain about how unengaging this tournament has been.
A weird draw that pitted the big teams against one another immediately - well with about a week between the games - but no minnows in between. And our games at an unwatchable 3am.
Not that anyone would have listened.
Maybe the ICC will listen to a billion Indian fans though and pay a bit more attention to running a decent tournament in future.
Who would have thought it?
We won't have three trophies in the cabinet whatever happens, but it's looking like we've sunk the might of India in all three tournaments!

Wow, just amazed we got up and won this morning. We may not have the ODI WC, but we do have the MODIWC (the lesser known moral world cup; won traditionally by minnows and teams that 'shoulda').
In this case I'll take it though.
We seem to have teh wood on India mentally, and I'm not sure how we managed it, but I'll take it. Need to sneak into the semi, and then have two good games ... we're a starters chance.
Really impressed with this side doing this. I still think HEsson is a miles better coach, but Stead has rocked up and grabbed the glory!

@nzzp We should just buy our own ODI World Cup and engrave it as we see fit! Possibly with an asterisk!
I haven't ever bought into the idea that we lost that game.

I saw some comments that teams batting first have struggled in this tournament
Skimming in through the results it seems only 8 teams have won batting first in 28 matches
Of those 8 wins, ~5 of them had a large quality gap between the sides
Afg beat Nam
WI beat Ban
Afg beat Sco
Ban beat PNG
Sri beat Ire
Ban beat Oman
Sco over PNG
Sco beat BanCouldn't be bothered looking up the coin tosses. I presume it's almost always win the toss and chase?

I have day off work. Would like to watch the entire match to fill in a few hours. I cant find the stream on Spark? Only see the 6 min highlights packages of all the matches?
Same thing last weekend when thought I would spend rainy sunday morning watching India V Pak full stream, couldn't find it, eventually went to cricinfo wondering if it must gave been abandoned for some reason...
