The last 100 overs - a new champion awaits

Woah. It has been a Topsy turvy ride because it has been like EA Cricket 2007 scoreline where stats mattered and this tournament has not been the different compared to the above mentioned games, the way Rohit Sharma played in the tournament and scoring 100s at ease and at will was same like I am playing a cricket game against Australia at Sharjah at a dusty track, satire a side but this tournament has been raising eye brows specially for a guy like me who instead of watching the game, watches these stats and spreadsheets instead, and therefore based on that analogy, I am afraid to say (don't claim, it has been scripted because Pakistan 🇵🇰 ain't in the final) it has been fixated so as to create a particular momentum because unlike 1992, now there is media and social media and therefore it is an important aspect of current era, and because of which, the ICC has to satisfy them with the result(s), furthermore if go through to my previous post where I was claiming not to cry over the spilled milk, I clearly said that you'd have to have a proper say in the management of the governing body i.e. The ICC and the MCC, because sorry to say as compared to other big cricketing bodies, CA, ECB, BCCI, NZ,and surprise inclusion BCB, we do not have that much of the say in front of them, because every cricket board of their interest and which is legitimate but the fact is we would have to have a say in front of them, experience matters in these sort of meetings but the matter of fact is we lack in proposal display in front of them. Because in today's era, we require proper communication, which we are not able to, because of which in result, we are preparing teams and selections on media; social media and The PSL, we aren't using the media and the social media the way the above mentioned are using, I have been following the ECB on social media and the way they have been doing is something we need to follow-up in our system on the social media, furthermore incorporate think tanks at PCB which would predict the aftermath of  current scenarios, because it is highly required today, because many of the people here are going to say Pakistan lost because of NRR, but I say you required adaptibility, it was a blessing in disguise where in the first match you got a brutal hit on your NRR, so where was the coaching staff who were suppose to plan that now we are on that level so we would go game by game, and this particular game if we win would have to play for instance if bat first at least 250+ score in 50 overs and bowl out the opposition instead of waiting for them to play complete quota of 300 balls, because NRR simply comply comprises of {(team runs scored divided by number of overs consumed) - (opposition team runs scored against the team divided by number of overs played by the opposition team)} therefore even if you are not versed in SI and mathematics, you're going to understand the fact that number of overs played by you and consumed against your runs does matters, which is the mantra because of which Pakistan lost, which Pakistan 🇵🇰 has been on the denial specially the press conference I watched of Sarfraz Ahmed at Karachi and Babar Azam & Imam at Lahore, they were claiming they lost due to NRR, like we say in Urdu, Ahmaqo ki jannat mai hi rehna, keep living in an Utopia.

As far as the Kiwis and English teams concern

Both of the teams are good, but the matter of concern for me is that till yesterday when I was reading beyond the lines, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 were teamed as favorites but I don't know what happened within some hours, even Pakistani social media stream is teaming New Zealand as favorites, all of the sudden, I am not gonna place a conspiracy or hybrid theory, but before following the winning percentages stats of stats bar during the cricket game, do follow bet websites because the rule of the betting websites is that the higher one team's percentages are, the other team wins the bet, it is confusing for many people but being stats maniac, I have like many other people, noted this therefore check for yourself because the script is in the writing for sure.
