00:00Let's take a quick look at the top 5 performers of this World Cup.
00:07A complete change has come.
00:09Nicholas Puran has come to the top.
00:11200 runs in 5 matches and a strike rate of 142.6.
00:15Adrian Goss, the best player of America.
00:20What a great performance.
00:21Who could have imagined that you would see an American player in the top 5 of this World Cup.
00:27182 runs with 147.2 strike rate.
00:30Gurbaz, who will play today's match.
00:33167 runs in 4 matches and a strike rate of 155.3.
00:38Stoinis has played an amazing inning.
00:41He has given Australia's batting a lot of depth.
00:44A strike rate of 156.190 in 4 innings.
00:48Zadran, who has a strike rate of 152.125.
00:54Basit bhai, what about the top 5 performers?
00:58Except Zadran.
01:01He has a strike rate of 125.
01:04But he is basically an opener.
01:07He plays in our style.
01:09There will be more changes.
01:11There will be more part time pitches.
01:13There will be more runs.
01:14The bowlers will sweat a lot this time.
01:16We keep watching Nicholas Puran.
01:20He is a season player and a T20 specialist.
01:22I am happy that he has played.
01:25He has played 80 innings yesterday.
01:28That was amazing.
01:29He dominated.
01:30He bowled a fast bowling down the wicket.
01:32It was very brave of him.
01:34Basit bhai, how do you see their performance?
01:38Obviously, India is far ahead.
01:41They have won all the matches.
01:42I don't believe in T20 cricket.
01:47Now, look at their form.
01:49Afghanistan has lost the last match.
01:51But they are playing well in the tournament.
01:53India didn't play well.
01:55Although they topped the tournament.
01:57But their pitches didn't give confidence to the batsmen.
02:01Today's match will decide India's mood in the tournament.
02:06The entire tournament will be in the Western leagues.
02:08We will see. The match should be good.
02:11Secondly, the condition has changed.
02:13There was a true batting pitch in Saint Lucia.
02:17Because of which there were 218 runs.
02:19In two overs, there were almost 60 runs.
02:23Because of which there were so many runs.
02:26In all the matches we have seen,
02:29the spinners are getting help.
02:31If the spinners are with them,
02:33they can put them under pressure.
02:35If Virat Kohli and Roy Sharma are out,
02:39they can come under pressure.
02:41Then the spinners can dominate.
02:43But if they win the batting toss,
02:45they will have to bat first.
02:47Because they are totally depending on the batsmen.
02:51In bowling, Neha Ball is doing a great job.
02:54He is selling the most.
02:56In the past, cricket was their start.
03:02The confidence they got in the World Cup in 2023,
03:05when they won against big teams,
03:07that matters a lot in today's T20 World Cup.
03:10After losing to a big team,
03:12it feels like a different team.
03:14So I don't think it will be an easy match.
03:16Let's see the journey of both the teams.
03:18In this World Cup, the matches won by India,
03:21the results will come in front of you.
03:23Obviously, India has not lost any match yet.
03:27They won against Ireland with 8 wickets.
03:31But the result does not show that the match was not that easy.
03:36I would say that Pakistan has lost that match more than India.
03:42In the middle of the match, it looked like USA was going to trouble them.
03:47But the match against Canada got abandoned.
03:49So, as Basit said,
03:51we will get to know the tone of India for this World Cup from here.
03:56The tournament for India starts from today.
03:58All the matches played in America are over.
04:04This tournament starts from today.
04:06Whether it is India, Australia or England,
04:08the 8 teams that have come,
04:10this tournament is for them.
04:11South Africa has also played in the same condition.
04:14They have lost more matches.
04:16They have scored 194 runs.
04:18De Kock, Adam Akram, Kala Singh have scored runs.
04:22So, when you get a good pitch,
04:24you take advantage of it.
04:26You take advantage of it and gain your form.
04:28So, I think this will be with the Indian team.
04:30Let's see the performances of Afghanistan in this World Cup.
04:36Afghanistan won a one-sided match against Uganda.
04:40They scored 125 runs.
04:42They surprised New Zealand.
04:44They scored 84 runs.
04:46They scored 7 wickets against PNG.
04:49And the opposite match was played against West Indies.
04:53Shahid, West Indies troubled them.
04:56They stopped their flight.
04:58Absolutely.
04:59They won the toss and batted in that match.
05:03They fielded first.
05:05That proved to be a wrong decision.
05:07Another disadvantage for Afghanistan is that
05:10their middle order hasn't got much batting yet.
05:13They had 100-100 partnership openers in two matches.
05:15So, their middle order is a bit vulnerable and rusty.
05:18India's Surya Kumar Yadav got a chance against Canada.
05:22He bowled 50 runs.
05:23They batted a lot.
05:24They sent Akshar Patel up against Pakistan.
05:27So, their middle order is a bit striked.
05:31Afghanistan's middle order didn't get that much.
05:33Absolutely right.
05:34So, let me quickly ask you three.
05:37What's your favourite match of today?
05:39Definitely India.
05:40India?
05:41India would be my favourite.
05:42India?
05:43Can Afghanistan do anything?
05:45They should.
05:46It's good that the match is closed.
05:47They should know that it was by fluke.
05:49I don't think it was an upset.
05:50If it was a victory for Afghanistan...
05:52It's not an upset for any team.
05:54What do you say?
05:55In their T20...
05:56You just told us the record.
05:58You told us 13 matches.
06:00Out of 8 matches in T20...
06:02Out of 8?
06:04They won 7 and lost 1.
06:06So, it must have been an upset.
06:08If it was a Pakistan team, it wouldn't have been an upset.
06:10Because they won against us.
06:11They won against us.
06:12And they have more close matches than us.
06:14Absolutely right.
