this is the big one. the day the internet breaks.
went 3/3 yesterday. i fear i might be seeing the script.
let's be real the world stops for the evening game. the boycott is cancelled, the drama is over, and we finally have cricket to play.
here is the Polymarket predictions:
1️⃣West Indies vs Nepal.
Polymarket odds
West Indies – 94%
Nepal – 6%
rutherford is in the form of his life (that 76 against england was absurd), and hetmyer on a flat wankhede deck is a terrifying prospect for any spinner.
nepal will try to choke them with spin in the middle overs, but if hetmyer or rutherford get settled, the ball is going into the stands.
my pick: West Indies
2️⃣USA vs Namibia
Polymarket odds
USA – 58%
Namibia – 42%
i’m flipping the script here. usa is looking dangerous.
coming off that massive 93-run win against the netherlands? that’s not a fluke, that’s a statement. saiteja, shubham is batting like a dream, and their confidence is sky-high.
namibia is disciplined but they've lost two in a row and look rattled. usa has the hot hand and the higher ceiling right now.
my pick: USA
3️⃣India vs Pakistan
@PolymarketSport
odds
India – 71%
Pakistan – 29%
the mother of all battles in colombo.
pakistan almost didn't show up (literally), and their chaotic build-up is either going to fuel a miracle or a disaster. there is no in-between with salman ali agha's men. They are one of the top 4 with respect to current form.
india, however, is a machine under sky. on a slow colombo turner, our spin attack (varun/axar) is just superior. plus, the mental edge is massive.
rain might play a cameo. will it be 8-1 today?
my pick: I don't predict for India matches.
if i go 3/3 again today, you all owe me a drink.
