Hey, the 50 over WC has started already...

Why not reveal your predictions.

Winner
Finalist
Semis

I'm going for India to beat Pakistan in the final after semis against Bangladesh and Australia.

England currently in a familiar position after 30 overs. Lots of runs on the board, but too many wickets down.

No Cool Hand Kane for NZ, yet again. But they have managed to coax the now quite elderly Lightnin' Boult out into the middle.

Buttler out now. England in a hole.

England 282-9

Root 77

Henry 3-48

Losing semi finalists
Australia
South Africa

Final
India beat England

I see Root and Mo managed to get themselves clean bowled by a wicket keeper

282-9

I have no idea of conditions, so it might be competitive.... it might not

I'll go India, Pakistan, England, South Africa in the final 4. No idea which of those will win it, but the last 3 WC's have been won by the hosts, so India seems a fair bet

Looks a middling score. Going on past WCs in India and the time of day, dew might be a factor.

Woakes' first ball goes for four.

I expect India are unbackable favourites.

Hanging on at the end with the last wicket, but useful runs added by Rashid and Wood.

England bowlers (with the exception of Curran) getting creamed atm. NZ galloping along. This won't cut it at all

NZ can't lose this one from here...

But you can't write off the Kiwis.

Well, that didn't go well.

No need for a boundary countback.

Pakistan v Netherlands tomorrow. Could be even more one sided.
