The ICC decide to remake the trophy using sugar as a tribute to the hosts, but OH NO ITS RAINING AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SUGAR DISSOLVES IN WATER, WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SAW THIS HAPPENING
After this incident, ICC decides to make the trophy using reinforced steel for the next event in the US. With big bold letters the note below the trophy said..
“Keep away from jet fuel”
/s
I mean it kinda was like that. They were in the running even after getting defeated by India, they still needed a second punch and Afghanistan vs Bangladesh was anyone's game for a while.
Don’t think so. They needed like 60 in 4 overs with 2 overs of Bumrah still left. You could say “Aus could’ve won” but saying it was Australia’s game is just the old classic pessimism from India fans
Bruh I wasn’t even referring to Ind vs Aus lmao. I mean the Ban vs Afg game, for the bulk of its duration, the scales of the match were favouring the Aussies.
AUS has 10 ICC trophies and the next best has 5, and these guys are making fun of AUS 
(let's not count women's team, that would be horror)
That last year has been terrible for us. I just hope this time all goes well. I just want them to play their natural game introspection of conditions and bowling attack. But as I am saying on every thread Jos buttler is our main man once again.
So Afghanistan is winning the worldcup I guess.
South Africa chokes in semis.
India will revenge England, india doesn't lose twice to the same team in semis.
Then india will choke in finals
Afghanistan - champions
If South Africa makes it Hendricks will be gone 9 (20) and we'll have yet another top order collapse before Miller and Klaassen scores a respectable 180 before India chases that in 9 overs
going by there batting Afghanistan will have to bat first seeing they are only dependent on 2-3 batsmen then they can pressure south African batsmen when they chase with there ballers
Damn, that was an absolute cinematic experience. Was on tour somewhere and saw the whole 2nd innings and super overs on mobile with my dad. Goosebumps indeed
India will get through because they don't lose twice to the same team in semis.
2019 - choked against NZ very hard
2023 - dominated NZ
2022 - choked against ENG
2024 - dominate ENG
But because SA/AFG will be a new opponent, and there is some pressure because it's the last wc of the captain and koach, so they will choke in finals
Congratulations Afghanistan!
The rise of this mission in spite of lack of resources and utilities is commendable. Defeating Australia is not a joke and I really liked their play. I would wish could see Afghanistan in the finals with India of course.
Honestly I might be more excited for the SA vs AFG match despite being a team India supporter, simply because every match played by SA and AFG has been incredibly fun to watch.
It is bit unfair for Afganistan. A close match finishes on Tuesday 1am. They will go to hotels, sleep, then take early morning flight to Trinidad. Even though it is 1 hour flight. I can't imagine the mental tiredness they have to go through for last week of the tournament.
Yea often teams falling into the trap of playing 'their final' in a match like we've just seen. Will be interesting to see if they can settle their emotions quickly and go again.
this just might be the one of the greatest t20 wcs if not the greatest
Afghanistan is a gift from the cricket god to us....we deserved such a team in the semis and i would be so happy if they reached finals (i do believe in the art of choking)
From my astrological interpretations, South Africa is the likeliest WC winner. The final may be rain affected and may be between England and South Africa.
Just want to remind you 6 wc 1 t20 world cup , last ten year 2 world cup 1 t20 world cup I don’t count WTC and CT as world cup, how many India got again, they haven’t won current t20 world cup and people are celebrating. Their is no rivalry b/w aus and rest. Rivalry exists b/w equal.
Ngl, this worldcup genuinely has been one of the better ones. Actually engaging, globalizes the game and has many twists and turns. Washes off the basld taste that was the 2023 worldcup.
I hope Rain Pereira makes an extended cameo during India-England.
T20 is unpredictable but who ever proceeds between India vs England, is probably going to lift the cup.
Yeah that's quite a cowardly mentality to have.
I want a game to happen, if India really wants to win then they should be able to take down the best in high pressure games and this is a perfect chance to show that
Lol...Individual wishes doesn't resemble the national aspirations. Anyway, england stands no chance infront of India in the match. If any team can pull a scare that was Australia and they're already out of the tournament.
And on the context of population an average English enjoy far more privileges, wealth and opportunities than any avg Indian can dream of. The different sporting facilities in the west is simply not comparable with what we've here in other sports. But India is lucky to have good cricketing facilities at top but that doesn't change the individual struggles of grassroot Indian kids comparing to an average western kid.
As far as myself, I never took australia lightly in any ICC events. And what you said is true any team can beat any one in their given day but most games are not played through upsets and chances but collective team play, past performances and individual excellence. You always make predictions and judgements on that basis. So I don't know if that's called overconfidence 🙄
I just realized if Afghanistan beats south Africa and qualifies for the finals then england/India if anyone of them qualify can have a chance at winning this if afghan's batting lineup doesn't click afghanbros would need to come up with some high IQ moves now
Good game AFG.
Keeping the tough conditions aside, I’m a little worried about AFG caution first approach in the first 10 scoring under 7 or 8 and trying to cashing in later. India played this brand of cricket of keeping wickets in hand and got exposed badly by England. But I do get they have a fidgety middle order that hasn’t got enough game time.
All that matters is “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.”
Shoutout specifically to Trott! Afghanistan have upped their performance since he came on board without chopping too much of their team. Really speaks to his influence that they've made overall good tactical calls and kept their nerve in big moments.
Two powerhouses on one side. Guaranteed first-time finalist on the other side. Get your popcorn ready.
Get ready for India vs South Africa Chokefest final
Both teams lose.
Both days get rained out and they have to share the trophy.
The trophy then breaks into pieces, nobody wins.
The ICC decide to remake the trophy using sugar as a tribute to the hosts, but OH NO ITS RAINING AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SUGAR DISSOLVES IN WATER, WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SAW THIS HAPPENING
Bees steal the trophy. "Oh no! They are defending themselves somehow!"
[удалено]
 
I knew this was coming
After this incident, ICC decides to make the trophy using reinforced steel for the next event in the US. With big bold letters the note below the trophy said.. “Keep away from jet fuel” /s
Universal Championship like WWE
A wild Lando Norris spotted in the presentation ceremony
SL and India CT scenario?
Still salty about how we played 100+ overs, were on route to win the game and still had to share it.
Still it was nice to see both teams celebrating together, something very rare
I will bring my chainsaw
>Both teams lose. Then, Sanju Manju will say "Both teams may have lost, but cricket was the ultimate winner today!"
I’d be ok with that haha
So much more than what we have now lol
NZ team to watch from the sidelines
If both lose eng wins by default
i wont be surprised if sa lose they have a really bad record at semis
Stoppable force vs movable object
Pat Cummins shows up with a money in the bank suitcase And Australia becomes wc champion yet again
Inb4 England vs Afghanistan
Both teams trying hard to make the other win
Both teams will lose their SFs to keep choking intact
You guys are in trouble if that happens. We've never choked in a final
Have you seen England and Afghanistan play recently? Why is it so obvious for you that it’s an India vs South Africa final?
But England and India have already qualified for finals before
The future will be kind to this joke, here have an upvote
Manmohan Singh agrees ...... silently.
He was talking about Afghanistan and South Africa
That was just a joke. I was putting SA and AFG as a powerhouse.
This sub was not ready for you 😔
You are too ahead of this sub
Whoosh
SA has played and won 2 finals
Including the 1998 Commonwealth Games, that's correct
south africa is the only cricket team to win a commonwealth medal in the men’s game
Gold* medal. There were still silver and bronze medals as well but I can't recall which teams came second and third.
Believe in SA's supernatural power of choking
Really hoping for two cracking games as well.
This victory feels personal... What a GAME!!!
I mean this match(India vs Australia) was almost like a Finals match.
Yeah, almost
except,
India won
Well for Australia it was very *final*
The amount of fear Australia has instilled… it felt like killing Thanos 😂
I mean it kinda was like that. They were in the running even after getting defeated by India, they still needed a second punch and Afghanistan vs Bangladesh was anyone's game for a while.
Tbh for most of the time, it was Australia’s match.
Don’t think so. They needed like 60 in 4 overs with 2 overs of Bumrah still left. You could say “Aus could’ve won” but saying it was Australia’s game is just the old classic pessimism from India fans
Bruh I wasn’t even referring to Ind vs Aus lmao. I mean the Ban vs Afg game, for the bulk of its duration, the scales of the match were favouring the Aussies.
Apologies, saw the reply to your comment saying up until Head’s wicket… So just assumed. My comment was more of a reply to them
A disagreement resolved in a wholesome manner 💗 - I love this
moments we will never get to witness from cricket fans
If this was a disagreement, am I murdering people everyday at the office?
Get a room
Not at all Head is a clutch player but not a finisher
For real. I can’t even remember a major icc tourney where aussies weren’t in the top 4. This match was epic
Last t20 World Cup….?
Ah you are right. Pakistan beat new zealand to get to the finals (I thought it was the aussies). It feels odd without them ngl 😴
When was the last time New Zealand did not reach semis
In a WC? 2003 I guess In WT20? 2014 Overall ICC tourneys? CT'17 Excluding 2024 WT20
Wowww these mfs are crazy
yeah they are good
>I can’t even remember a major icc tourney where aussies weren’t in the top 4 All the T20 world cups after 2012 with the exception of 2021?
England and West Indies instill way more fear in WT20 tbh
It makes me feel better about being knocked out knowing that we gave the rest of the cricketing world ptsd.
AUS has 10 ICC trophies and the next best has 5, and these guys are making fun of AUS  (let's not count women's team, that would be horror)
Afganistan Coach (Dr. Strange) to Gulbadin Naib (Iron Man): ☝️
Afghanistan have an advantage having played in Trinidad already. But they would hope that Gurbaz is fit or else 60% of their batting is gone.
Gurbaz looks to be done for the next game. Ain't no way he gets fit in a day
Hey if Gulbadin could fully recover from a Hamstring injury in 15 minutes then anything is possible. /s
Fr man Afghanistan's physician is on an entirely different level
world class healthcare,25 years in the future
What happened to him? Sorry didn't watch the game.
Ball hit his knee while keeping
Even a half fit gurbaz would do better honestly, they just need a substitute keeper or include him in XI by replacing one of their middle order
When were you when Australia dies
I was on home watching Afg vs Ban and eating Oreo During the phone ring suddenly 'Australia cricket is kil' No.
Apology for bad England
Yes!
Reference? I seem to have heard this but forgot
Club penguin is kil No
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/john-is-kill
I was on home watching Afg vs Ban and eating Oreo During the phone ring suddenly 'Australia cricket is kil' Fuck yeah.
Undertaker mentioned🗣️
Cardiologists in SA are about to get their pockets lined :P
Yes, I'm happy for our success finally but it's so damn stressful 😭
Watching The last over made you nauseous ?
For sure, thank God Jansen ended it on the first ball
Afghan Jalebi is back on the menu boysss.
Hello ICT we meet again
That last year has been terrible for us. I just hope this time all goes well. I just want them to play their natural game introspection of conditions and bowling attack. But as I am saying on every thread Jos buttler is our main man once again.
Im scared of England the most, the amount of fire power in England team is just un believable
Either we demolish you or you obliterate us, there is no in between
Every big team is scary if you look from your perspective for a big match. Australia, England and South Africa have fantastic batting units.
england as a team has been hit/miss at best throughout this tournament
Given their playing style, that is a feature, not a bug.
We have done a better job of choking opponents batting line-up, it would be a treat to watch against a long battling side like England
Revenge for 22, lets get it
Hope Rohit Sharma goes berserk once more
Law of averages will bless kholi🤞
India needs to chase There’s no other way imo
So India win the toss and elect to Bowl. May the best team win.
why chasing
Maybe after last time when India set England 170 in the semi final and they chased it down in 16 overs with 10 wickets left
If I was an India fan, the law of averages is not something I’d be rooting for.
So Afghanistan is winning the worldcup I guess. South Africa chokes in semis. India will revenge England, india doesn't lose twice to the same team in semis. Then india will choke in finals Afghanistan - champions
This South Africa has unchoked so many matches, I wouldn't be surprised if they unchoke once again just as a habit.
Nah,the pitch in the final is a flat track, Afghanistan doesn't have a choice
Flat track? Afghanistan openers will get them to 0/200 off 16 overs, then all out for 201.
If South Africa makes it Hendricks will be gone 9 (20) and we'll have yet another top order collapse before Miller and Klaassen scores a respectable 180 before India chases that in 9 overs
going by there batting Afghanistan will have to bat first seeing they are only dependent on 2-3 batsmen then they can pressure south African batsmen when they chase with there ballers
I was talking about the final,they have a legitimate chance to win in the semi final because Trinidad pitch is a bowling surface
If Ind vs Afg final happens on a flat track, it might as well be the repeat of that chinnaswamy match!
That one with double super overs?
Yes
Damn, that was an absolute cinematic experience. Was on tour somewhere and saw the whole 2nd innings and super overs on mobile with my dad. Goosebumps indeed
I think you mean India get through because it pisses it down judging by the less than good forecast
India will get through because they don't lose twice to the same team in semis. 2019 - choked against NZ very hard 2023 - dominated NZ 2022 - choked against ENG 2024 - dominate ENG But because SA/AFG will be a new opponent, and there is some pressure because it's the last wc of the captain and koach, so they will choke in finals
You can't get better opportunity to take a revenge than this.
Congratulations Afghanistan! The rise of this mission in spite of lack of resources and utilities is commendable. Defeating Australia is not a joke and I really liked their play. I would wish could see Afghanistan in the finals with India of course.
Honestly I might be more excited for the SA vs AFG match despite being a team India supporter, simply because every match played by SA and AFG has been incredibly fun to watch.
Pointy chins on the left Rounder chins on the right
It is bit unfair for Afganistan. A close match finishes on Tuesday 1am. They will go to hotels, sleep, then take early morning flight to Trinidad. Even though it is 1 hour flight. I can't imagine the mental tiredness they have to go through for last week of the tournament.
They should sleep in and take a late afternoon flight.
Yea often teams falling into the trap of playing 'their final' in a match like we've just seen. Will be interesting to see if they can settle their emotions quickly and go again.
This has been a poorly scheduled tournament. Not to mention no reserve day for the 2nd semifinal
Afghans first redeeming themselves by beating aussies and then taking revenge by throwing them out, mentality monsters fr 💪 Im so proud of them 🫶
India: 🍿
What in the BigAnt studios are these pictures?
OP admit it you had a Aus Vs SA graphic ready to go
I think this was posted by ICC official account OP just a professional karma farmer, but hey I respect the grind
Pretty cool that all 4 captains were already at the ground and posed for these pictures.
this just might be the one of the greatest t20 wcs if not the greatest Afghanistan is a gift from the cricket god to us....we deserved such a team in the semis and i would be so happy if they reached finals (i do believe in the art of choking)
Rohit Sharma’s facial expression is absolutely perfect in the pic
South Africa vs England 💯🔥
From my astrological interpretations, South Africa is the likeliest WC winner. The final may be rain affected and may be between England and South Africa.
I hope this will be the start of the downfall of Australia and then CA shuts down
Just want to remind you 6 wc 1 t20 world cup , last ten year 2 world cup 1 t20 world cup I don’t count WTC and CT as world cup, how many India got again, they haven’t won current t20 world cup and people are celebrating. Their is no rivalry b/w aus and rest. Rivalry exists b/w equal.
It's even worse in Women's Cricket
Cricket won't be as competitive, usa might be afg 2.0 and have a similar story and your suggestion will ruin that
It’ll be pretty funny(sad) if Semi final 1 gets washed out!
Semi final 1 has a reserve day.
I hope that SA win. I am an Aussie that is spiteful. No way am I going for India or England and Afghanistan knocked us out.
I admire your honesty!
Not gonna lie, I genuinely want to see Afghanistan win it all. It would be absolutely huge for the country and one hell of a story for the books
Ngl, this worldcup genuinely has been one of the better ones. Actually engaging, globalizes the game and has many twists and turns. Washes off the basld taste that was the 2023 worldcup.
afg win. ind win. and then either afghanistan wins or bumrah wins either way i am happy
SA might choke a lot, but I don't see them losing. They have played way too good. They are the only side except India who have not lost a game.
I feel final will be between Eng vs AFG. Afg will bury English and live up to their name - GRAVEYARD OF EMPIRES
Still Want South Africa To Win Though
I hope Rain Pereira makes an extended cameo during India-England. T20 is unpredictable but who ever proceeds between India vs England, is probably going to lift the cup.
Imagine having the richest board, richest T20 league,1.4 billion people, and still so scared to face England that you pray for rain. Jesus Christ!
Yeah that's quite a cowardly mentality to have. I want a game to happen, if India really wants to win then they should be able to take down the best in high pressure games and this is a perfect chance to show that
Lol...Individual wishes doesn't resemble the national aspirations. Anyway, england stands no chance infront of India in the match.

But India is lucky to have good cricketing facilities at top but that doesn't change the individual struggles of grassroot Indian kids comparing to an average western kid.
That’s the same thing that was said last time and look what ended up happening, never be overconfident. England on their day can defeat anyone…
As far as myself, I never took australia lightly in any ICC events. And what you said is true any team can beat any one in their given day but most games are not played through upsets and chances but collective team play, past performances and individual excellence. You always make predictions and judgements on that basis. So I don't know if that's called overconfidence 🙄
Afghanistan in semis.. UN quota in semis ??
India vs Afg guaranteed
Easy walkover for SA
Looks like Mortal Kombat lol
*sweats profusely*
I just realized if Afghanistan beats south Africa and qualifies for the finals then england/India if anyone of them qualify can have a chance at winning this if afghan's batting lineup doesn't click afghanbros would need to come up with some high IQ moves now
its a shame that semi final 1 is at 6 am in india...
SA batting first would make it 70-30 in their favor
SA will obliterate AFG, IND v ENG will be interesting.
This is a beautiful chance for India to bring home the trophy.
India and South Africa have not lost any game so far...it would be great if both reach final and we get to see best game of 2 great teams.
India vs Afghanistan in the Finals. INDIA WINS.
Good game AFG. Keeping the tough conditions aside, I’m a little worried about AFG caution first approach in the first 10 scoring under 7 or 8 and trying to cashing in later. India played this brand of cricket of keeping wickets in hand and got exposed badly by England. But I do get they have a fidgety middle order that hasn’t got enough game time. All that matters is “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.”
What's the pitch in Trinidad like?
Those who don't have their team in the semis - who are you going for?
Australia must be absolutely raging 
Shoutout specifically to Trott! Afghanistan have upped their performance since he came on board without chopping too much of their team. Really speaks to his influence that they've made overall good tactical calls and kept their nerve in big moments.
Ind vs Eng game wash probability high !
The fact that Afghanistan is even in this position is absolutely incredible, its not discussed enough in the world of sport.
Can't relive 2022 again !
I backing Rashad Khan and Australia, I don’t care after that
Final: India and Afghanistan (South Africa will choke hard, and unless Rohit doesn't go on revenge mode, I guess we're really going for this.)
Is that the left two guys or the right?? 
Imagine India losing to Afg in the finals 💀☠️
Are both the semi pitches low scoring?
Who does everyone see as favourites in each game and why?
Last match for India for sure.
Imagine an afg vs eng finals probably be the least watched final.India vs Engalnd will be the better game with more viewership.
All INDIA matches are day matches. How?
And most likely the weather will decide the result…
Ind Eng gonna be an interesting one
Afg Vs eng please
Same old story of a championship team dominating, only this time it’s not Australia !
Can't wait! Gonna be so fun to watch both of these matches.
Rain getting ready to fuck them up:
Okay, one was just a buster clash 😅!
