The equation to reach the next stage of the competition i.e. Super-8 is becoming more difficult day by day. In this tournament, small teams are winning the hearts of cricket lovers with their performance. At the same time, former champion teams are facing the threat of being eliminated from the tournament. England is in danger of being eliminated from the T20 World Cup England, captained by Jos Buttler, is in danger of being eliminated from the tournament. England still has 2 matches left. These matches will be played against Oman and Namibia. The problem for England is that it not only has to win these two matches but also has to improve its net run rate. England’s net run rate is currently -1.8. The top 2 teams from this group will enter the Super 8. Australia has won both its matches and its next two matches are against Namibia and Scotland. If Australia wins even one match, it will qualify for the Super 8. Scotland, Namibia and England are in a tough race to reach the Super 8. England will have to win both the matches against Oman and Namibia to reach the Super 8. A single defeat can knock them out of the tournament. Apart from this, if any of England’s matches are canceled due to rain, they will be out of the race for the next round. Along with England, teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka are in danger of being eliminated from the T20 World Cup. Seeing the situation of England, former English team captain Michael Vaughan has given a big statement Michael feels that there is some problem with the England team in the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Let’s know what Michael Vaughan said- “We should not be surprised that England is in this trouble. England dominated the white ball format for a long time. But the team has been in a downfall for some time. The team and the board are making the same mistakes again and again in selection and strategy. From the outside, I feel that the players are very strong. It feels great to have such a strong set up but I have never seen a strong looking team win the World Cup.” “In 2019, England won the World Cup playing fearless cricket, with Eoin Morgan leading that team strongly. The players knew what kind of cricket they wanted to play.” “Three years ago England were the best white-ball team in the world and everyone else was trying to copy them.

After losing in the eliminator, RCB’s dream of winning the IPL title has once again remained unfulfilled RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 4 wickets in the Eliminator of IPL 2024. With this defeat, RCB’s dream of winning the IPL title has once again remained unfulfilled. RCB had a very bad start in the first half of the season and won only one out of its 8 matches, but in the second half, Bangalore made a brilliant comeback and won six consecutive matches to make it to the playoffs. After the defeat in the eliminator, Indian cricket team’s great batsman Chris Srikkanth has given a blunt advice to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel, when you are doing well in life, keep your mouth shut and keep moving forward. If you are doing something and make noise about it, then that work can get spoiled. If you played badly, accept criticism- Srikkanth The former cricketer further said that, there was more showing off without any need (after the win against CSK). Therefore everything was destroyed. In cricket you need to shut your mouth and play. Srikkanth said, if you play well, congratulations, if you play poorly, accept criticism, but you should never open your mouth and show aggression. They are congratulating themselves for qualifying for the playoffs and making a great comeback. CSK and MI have done this many times. Both CSK and Mumbai have won many titles. These guys won six matches and were eliminated as soon as they qualified. Let us tell you that RCB has not won the title even once till date. The team finished three runners-up in 17 seasons, but was not successful in lifting the trophy.
