Who's going home without a win?

My thoughts...

I'll start with Pool B and say UAE. The way Ireland and Zimbabwe have played so far makes winning a game look like a big mountain to climb for UAE, and I think they might be out of their depth here.

In Pool A I'm going to go with my heart more than my head, and I'm going to predict that no one goes home winless. Whoever loses the Scotland-Afghanistan game will have their work cut out to win one, but I reckon either of those teams could have it in them to give Bangladesh a hell of a fright if they're even slightly off their game. I'd love to see everyone in this group win a game.

This post may well look pretty dumb in a few weeks' time, but never mind. What do you guys think?

i hope england do but i suspect they're going to troll us all and go deep into the tourney

afghanistan and UAE are beyond terrible.

Yep, possibly with Bopara coming in as an injury replacement and single-handedly winning a knockout game.

UAE and BD I think.

BD possibly, and UAE

West Indies.....if they were in Group A.

UAE and Afghanistan

India

Beating Pakistan doesn't count, for reasons I will try and come up with and work into this post via the edit function.

UAE and Pakistan

I'm thinking Sri Lanka. Long shot though

Sri Lanka will win. I'll come back in a few weeks and let you know...

If Sri Lanka are one thing, we are minnow bashers, especially in the short formats we have a pretty happy habit of smashing minnows I've noticed

Could be the Afghanis unfortunately. Scotland look to have a really good side and they haven't been able to pinch a win off BD.

Afghanistan it is

That explains some of the stellar career records then...

Yeah, after that game last night I think you're right.

Afghanistan........

Looks like "A New Challenger Arises" in England.
