If the Windies side is in full strength, then they can easily beat Bangladesh. Despite being a test nation for almost two decades, BAN is just not up there. Their domestic structure is not very organized and even now they depend too much on the Dhaka club sides, rather than diversifying out of the capital city.

And Ireland is a gone case. Irish players are eligible to represent England, and therefore if a player is at international standard, then he'll just dump his motherland and adorn the colors of England (the same with the case of Scotland and Wales). Without their best players, they can get nowhere. Imagine an Irish side with Eoin Morgan and Ed Joyce. They'll be able to give tough competition to anyone. But we'll never get to see such a team. 

I just don't understand why some people seem to think that IPL or T20 performances = ODI and Test performances. It does not make any sense whatsoever. West Indies stand no chance even with their big hitters in the ODI and test formats in my opinion currently and I am confident that the upcoming matches will prove that.

England is my pick for winning the World Cup, they have a very strong team and they’ll be playing at home. Then my second pick would be Australia who have only grown stronger with the return of Smith and Warner. Lastly I’m torn between picking India and West Indies, as both have quality players who can change the game on their given day.

Again that was without Smith and Warner not playing and now that they are back the Australian team is a lot stronger then the team in the past 6 months. Are people still forgetting that this Australian team beat India on home soil after coming back from 2-0 down in the series? Yes India might of been experimenting with players but the Australian team wasn't what you would call the strongest team that took on India as it was basically the same team that India beat playing on Australian soil. I still see people say not as powerful as previous Australian teams but no one posts why they think this? What is missing from the current Australian team that makes people think this? The bowling attack is one of the best in the world and with Finch in top form and Usman Khawaja the top order is one of the best. I know the middle order is a little weak however as I have said Smith will be back and make the middle order stronger and we never know when Maxwell will fire so Australia has a lot of fire power and are strong so people on here need to stop comparing this Australian team with previous teams.

We have 2 games today.

1. Bangladesh vs Windies: Final of Tri Series

Bangladesh already Won the toss and opt to bowl in this final match against Windies. Bangla team looking very confident and everything going good for their team in this tour except Shakib Al Hasan's retired hurt moment in previous match.

Windies Struggling in this tour against Bangladeshi team so far, lets see what's they bring in this final.

Fun Fact : In last 5 years Windies failed to win any 50-overs series.

2. Pakistan vs England 4th ODI

Pakistan can't win this series now, the best they can do is draw this series. they are down 0-2 against English team and 1 match already washed out in rain.

England resting their some player and Morgan is banned for 4th ODI due to slow over rate. Jos Buttler leading the English team today.

Chances are we are going to see another high scoring match today Rip Bowlers

 

Today West Indies start is very good and confident look like they are going to change some facts and trying to win this final as they want to go in World cup with some good confidence in second match England is like power house but today we are going to have very exciting match as Pakistani trying to fight back for some pride.

Yeah, they were looking good today but rain ruining the party for them.



Pakistan heading toward easy 350 runs target, if they got lucky with couple of big overs then 350+ not looking far as well. happy for Babar Azam, he's playing brilliantly as usual.

Pitches are like a graveyard for bowlers these days.

Edit : Babar out

Edit 2 : Quick wicket hurting run rate and 350 looking tough. Pak need couple of big over.

Am expecting England to chase down this total unless Pakistan take quick wickets and pile on the pressure though it won't be easy since their bowlers have been under-performing since quite sometime recently. This will be interesting.

Anyone of you watching Bangladesh vs West Indies match? Soumyo Sarkar just got out but played a great innings. Musfiq is doing pretty well too. Hope, they will win today.
Bangladesh is playing better, I hope they will continue performing the same in the world cup too.

England need 135 in 22 overs which seems like a piece of cake in my opinion. Buttler and Root could potentially finish this match on their own if they ignite a high scoring partnership and the odds of that happening are pretty high.
