What's new

One of the Champions Trophy semi-finals will be an upset

hopefully Pakistan winning against England and getting thrashed in finals.
 
i hope it will be tomorrow, so that we have an India Pakistan final. if BD upsets india, then it would be a boring context on June 18th..

I hope that tomorrow's match is not going to be a boring one sided affairs.We all know how Pakistan succumbs to pressure.
 
Just a hunch I have.

Your hunch is well founded. Currently, according to the bookmakers the probability of England winning is 70% and India willing is 75%. So the probability of both winning is only 52.5%, almost the toss of a coin.

exactly and Bangladesh have won 5 world cups 10 champions trophies and 4 t20 wc.. man they can cope with pressure..

I hope the second semi isnt a one sided affair. Go easy on India so we could have an interesting match.
 
Call it an upset or whatever you want to call it but Pakistan will advance to Final, after a long long time one can feel that their pace attack has shaped up very well.

Pakistan is always a competitive side when their bowlers are in good form and luckily all of the three pacers we have are in good form and match winners on their day.

This pace trio has the capacity to collectively do it once what Waqar and Wasim did on numerous occasions to english batting line-up,i.e, demolish their top and middle order in one spell.

Bangladesh and India will also have a nail biting match. I want Pak-Indo final but I also feel that BD may make their way to the final.
 
Personally I don't consider it an upset, I see us getting past england and booking our place into the final.

that's not how probabilities are calculated. right?

The probabilities of that both of two independent events happen is the multiple of individual probabilities.

So the probability of both India and England winnings is 0.70 x 0.75 = 0.525

Probability that both Bangladesh and Pakistan will qualify (two upsets) = 0.3 x 0.25 = 7.5%

So probability that there will be only one upset = 1 - 0.525 - 0.075 = 40%

ENG doesn't stand much of a chance against PAK.

IND could pull off a thriller against BANG I suppose.

:murali :yk

Everybody wants the same,a thrilling evenly contested match.The problem is both England and India are miles ahead of Pakistan and Bangladesh in strength,might and capabilities.They are the two ODI teams who are in a different planet than the others at this moment.That's why i am afraid we can have two one sided affairs in semis.I sincerely hope that it doesn't happen in that way.
 
There is no pressure on Pakistan. They have exceeded our expectations.

Fans always hope for a win.You are right, the pressure of expectations is not that great on Pakistan this time around.We ,Bangladeshis also know the difference in strength of two teams-India and Bangladesh.Bangladesh has also fulfilled our expectations already by reaching the semifinal.But i want that both the teams go for the win,whatever the situation is .But for that,both Bangladesh and Pakistan should have nerve of steel.It's a big big match,big occasion.Pakistan has many experiences of this type of high voltage matches,Bangladesh don't have any except one WC quarterfinal and one Asia cup final.Let's see how they cope with the pressure.
 
Pak v Bangladesh is the final we want. Beating Pak in a final would be the greatest day ever after independence. Joy Bangla!
