National equivalent of your form deserting you just as you get picked for England?

rain or no rain, they are going to get knocked out, a massive shock, favourites alongside the windies with the bookies and on here, wonder what's going wrong for them/?

I think Afghanistan have just had 3 average performances at the wrong time, they just came of a 4-1 win against Zimbabwe and won the warm-ups so they were in form. Could just be the pressure of tournament cricket.

I wonder if there is any hubris at work with them? Over confidence coming in to play, silly shots with the bat?

Also, their captain got injured and their wicket keeper suspended.

Mohammed Shahzad may be a talented idiot, but he is still an idiot.
Whoever would want the ICC embarrassed? Poor chaps. (sheds a single tear)

This is the problem with not planning long term and changing the rules whenever you feel like to aid certain teams.

Ireland had WI thoroughly on the ropes at 5 down for 90-odd but Jason Holder is yet again holding them together. He's quite the man for a crisis.
Edit: well bowled me

somewhat outrageously, Afghanistan could be going through here the way Nepal have started

Nepal can go through themselves if they can chase 200 in about 6 overs

Nepal on fire, should be a fun, mad run chase if they go for it. Ireland looking to keep the other group interesting by giving the Netherlands a chance to knock out UAE

Scotland need 211 to beat Zim and keep up their 100% record. Think both sides are already through.
