The analytics and tech feed from cricket is making the watch more enthralling and immersive. SKY’s onslaught against Zimbabwe was presented plotting 4s and 6s portraying the use of crease. The 360 degree view of field position provides more perspective for cricket lovers. It was evident from turning down stumping with batter far out of crease, surprising players on a run out and capturing the emotions of the fan especially picking the best of it during India vs Pakistan match. Take a bow tech team.
Let us now move from virtual stuff to physical stuff.
Art of Chocking
South Africa have numerous way of exiting the World Cup ranging from 22 runs of 1 ball, tied semi final match, 2003 dot ball when requiring 1 of 1 and many more. This World Cup choking is the worst losing to an associate team having wickets in hand while chasing a reasonable total.
England was nervy to complete a win and secure a place in Semi-Finals. They have a strong lineup and have the potential to go long way.
Art of Sneak
Pakistan have an art to sneak into last four and once they won the World Cup as well doing it. They are perfect shock absorbers and keep the tyre running to reach the milestone destination. They should be pumped up to repeat the history though T20 is a different ball game.
Art of Peak
Team India have a history of peaking when the top order does well. After a shake up against Pakistan, the top order has delivered. They are hungry for victory and blending very well as a team.
Gutsometer Theory
This is a reflection of my gut feeling which I call it as gutsometer.
The Asian team supporters are begging for another 2007 repeat of finals (India vs Pak).
Pak looking for redemption against India.
India looking to end the draught of ICC titles for sometime now.
The NZ wants a redemption against England.
I end my theory stating that, Pakistan won 2017 Champions Trophy, England won 2019 World Cup and NZ won WTC in 2021.
So, who will win this World Cup? 😀
