Actually Aman is right. Even if NZ is pounded by England like this, their NRR will be around 0. Pakistan will have to win by a massive margin against BD which is impossible. England losing atleast one match is the only hope Pakistan have.

Name and shame.
Australia with Warner and Smith back, and Starc bowling at 100% were always going to be good.
So still very high, they are pretty much confirmed for semifinal spot at this point.

God damn disaster this
India beat them and Pakistan was also looking good for some time against them. So they can be beaten. Though not sure how India will be beaten in this tourney.

If we beat Bangladesh by a lot and NZ lose by a similar amount as today , think they will be in trouble.

At least we will know what our target will be if England win both games. We have to play to beat NRR, rather than just winning the game.

Yes . Both India and NZ are 99% confirmed. Everybody else - mainly England, Pak/BD and to a much lesser extent - SL are fighting for that last spot.
Will not matter if India win tomorrow.

The pitches have been very disappointing last 2 weeks.
We need a contest. Teams batting first have a big advantage.
We need fresh pitches for every match, it’s not a big ask.

If England do win both, your hope us if England beat NZ by massive 200 margin and you do the same to BD or something ridiculous like that . I just don't see that happening. England losing is your only chance now.

N.Z team are mediocre when conditions don't suit them. Very disappointed. Really hope they thwart the poms but I have no faith in them. Bowling is decent but they lack the finishing ability to run through the tail when conditions aren't optimal.
batting is always going to be an issue.

absolutely. india will destroy England on any seaming, bouncy or spinning tracks. flat dead wickets are an advantage to the English team.
Seems the only way to prevent AUS from not lifting the cup in those 2 knock outs is to win the toss and bat first & post a total of around 260 at least. Then try the best at bowling and put them under scoreboard pressure and win by a paltry margin.Other wise 'who ever be the other 3' can only dream of lifting the cup. Such a 'lucky' formula which takes quiet a bit off the excitement of watching this game.

India without Dhawan is an inferior side to the current Australian side.
Aussies are back to favourites for this WC as well. Some things it seems don't change.

The fine margins of cricket struck painfully for a rueful Kane Williamson as New Zealand slipped to their second defeat of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
The Black Caps looked in a strong position when having Australia on the ropes at 92/5, with Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson working wonders with the new ball at Lord’s.
But a 107-run partnership for the sixth wicket between Alex Carey (71) and Usman Khawaja (88) changed the course of the game as Australia battled to 243/9 from their 50 overs.
It proved a step too far as New Zealand fell to 157 all out in their chase, leaving Williamson to unpick what could have been had they continued to strike while the iron was hot.
“I think that partnership between Khawaja and Carey was superb,” he said. “I don't think anybody hit the ball well on that surface all day except for Carey, and they managed to put on 100, which certainly got them a very, very competitive total.
“I suppose we were one wicket away if you're looking at positives in terms of our bowling performance and trying to restrict them to a much lower total, but it wasn't to be.
“The match-ups didn't really fall our way with both our spinners turning the ball in to two left-hand batters.
“But credit to the way at Australian batters sort of fought hard to get them to a very good score, really, on that surface.
“I suppose if we're being critical, we would have liked to have obviously taken that sixth wicket, which perhaps may have restricted them to below 200, and I'm sure it would have been a really tough battle.
“But once again, they outplayed us in all facets, and it wasn't to be from our perspective.”
Results elsewhere could see New Zealand into the semi-finals as early as Sunday, when England and India face off at Edgbaston.
Failing that and Williamson’s charges may have to beat the hosts in their final group game in Durham to secure a spot in the last four – with victory close to essential in their bid to arrest a slide in momentum.
Not that the captain is concerned with the lapse in form, previously unbeaten before missing out to Pakistan and Australia in their last two encounters.
“Once again, it is about moving on, and going to Durham and looking forward to a new surface and new opposition,” he added.
“We as a side need to be really positive and play with that freedom, because when we do that, that is when we play our best cricket, and that's the sort of mindset we need to have.
“Maybe there's a dent in momentum. But then at the end of the day, it is coming back to the cricket that we want to play.
“Playing with those cricket smarts throughout this tournament has been perhaps the most important thing.
“Even perhaps more than something like the word "freedom," which everybody wants to be able to achieve day-in, day-out.”

New Zealand quick Trent Boult believes Australia are now the team to beat at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Australia showed their trademark fighting spirit with a 86-run victory over Boult’s team at Lord’s, their second consecutive defeat after a previous loss to Pakistan.
The Black Caps were beaten finalists in the 2015 final at Melbourne and Boult thinks the five-time winners are clicking at the right time to have a serious tilt at retaining their title.
“Australia turn up for World Cups,” he said. “They have a good record in them and they’re peaking nicely. They produced the complete performance and they were too good for us.
“There are some quality sides here but it’s all about timing in my opinion and Australia are performing well, there’s only a couple of weeks left and they’re the ones to beat.”
Left-armer Boult was joint leading wicket-taker in the 2015 tournament with 22 wickets, alongside Australian Mitchell Starc.
But this time there is fresh air between Starc at the top of the wicket-takers list on 24 and the second-placed Lockie Ferguson, of New Zealand, with 17.
Starc’s 5/26 were the best figures of the tournament so far and a record third five-wicket haul in a World Cup.
Asked what made Starc so special, Boult joked: “He’s six foot seven, bowls 157kph and swings it both ways!”
He added: “He’s a classy bowler. He was used very nicely with short spells to be aggressive. He’s had a stellar campaign so far.”
Despite the defeat, Boult still enjoyed his own highlight reel moment when he took his second ODI hat-trick, his first in a World Cup, to finish off the Australian innings.
He said: “It would have been nice if it was in the first over but any bowler dreams of getting three wickets in a row. To do it at the ‘Home of Cricket’ in front of a good crowd against Australia was pretty cool.”
All three deliveries of the hat-trick were pin-point yorkers, though Boult admitted his side still let Aaron Finch’s side off the hook.
“It’s a pretty simple game plan,” he added. “I wanted to disturb the woodwork and it was nice to see the stumps light up. It was a bit of entertainment for the crowd.
“To have them 90 for five and let them get over 200 was frustrating. If we had kept them under 200, then it’s a whole different ball game.”
New Zealand have now suffered two successive defeats, against Pakistan and Australia, and face England in their final group match on Wednesday, a match that could yet decide who makes the final four.
But Boult does not believe that any major changes are required.
“We need to win the last one,” he added. “It will be a big one for England and they will be hungry – it’s certainly not panic stations. The bowling plans work well against any side so there won’t be much reinvention.”

Concluding from what we´ve seen in the tournament so far, Australia are looking red hot favourites to lift the trophy. I can almost already sense that. It seems as if a loss over India was the kick in the backside that they really needed. From then on, their top-order, their middle-order, the lower-order, the tail-enders, the bowlers, the fielders..... literally everything has clicked from that point. Behrendorff has been a great addition, Starc is being just Starc and Cummins too has found form.
Also, Aaron Finch´s captaincy has seriously impressed me, especially his management of the overs of Behrendorff and Starc. Really like seeing him engage himself in his thoughts and decision-making. Very active and alert. This guy is growing on me.

Also, disappointed with the way New Zealand are going. Now that their tournament schedule finally has them running into strong teams, it seems as if Williamson, a capable lower-order in batting and a good pace attack is all that they´ve in their side. They´re carrying too many nobodies in the team, especially in the batting department. Can someone please explain to me as to why Tom Latham keeps getting a place in the team despite having actually never formed? At least I can´t remember him having done anything of note in ODI cricket on my TV.
