Powerhouse nations have noticeably struggled at the beginning of the tournament, but we can’t say that is the case for Australia.

Coming off a dominating performance against England, The Aussies are looking to remain undefeated and a win against Namibia will secure a spot in the Super Eight.

Garry’s predicted cloudy conditions with no major threat of rain at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and I think a dominant victory for the Australians is on the horizon.

My remaining plays on today’s game can be found below.

• Australia to Win
• Mitchell Marsh 20+ Runs
• Adam Zampa 2+ Wickets

 Well Punters I think we have a game on our hands, as South Africa and the Netherlands will play in the first of three games tonight.

In my opinion, I believe it’ll be a competitive game between bat and ball – with both sides showcasing their strong batting, incredible bowling and impeccable fielding throughout the tournament.

South Africa has showcased one of the toughest and incredibly stacked batting lineups in the competition, with Quinton De Kock leading the charge for The Proteas.

For the Netherlands, I can’t go past Bas De Leede, who’s averaging 31.3 with the bat and 17.3 with the ball respectively.

It’ll be a tough night for both sides and an upset will be the play for me

• Netherlands to win
• Bas De Leede Top Dutch Run Scorer
• Bas De Leede Top Dutch Wicket taker

Australia and England have shared unique and memorable stories, spanning hundreds of years and tonight, they have a chance to create yet another chapter to add to the outstanding rivalry.

There’s immense pressure on the Poms, with Scotland’s win against Namibia making this almost a must-win for the reigning champs, otherwise, they will be on the back foot leading into the 2^nd half of the tournament.

Scoring was an issue for the Australians against Oman and luckily for the Aussies, the bowling attack led by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood proved why they’re the best bowlers in the world.

For the Poms, I love Jos Buttler and his batting performances in big matches and not to mention Jofra Archer has a story of his own against the Aussies.

Here are my plays for tonight’s matchups

• Australia To Win
• Mitchell Marsh 20+ Runs
• Marcus Stoinis 20+ Runs
• Adam Zampa 1+ Wicket

Let’s recognise that the pitch in New York has been shocking.

No team has surpassed 100 at ‘The Big Apple’ in two matches, it’s shown inconsistent bounce and provides terrible carry to the keeper.

Out of the 26 wickets that have fallen, 18 of them have come from fast bowlers and Craig Young is the standout to me for Ireland.

Both sides are looking to get off the mark, and the loser of this matchup will fall well behind in their respective group.

My remaining selections can be found below.

• Ireland to Win
• Craig Young Top Irish Wicket Taker
• Paul Stirling Top Irish Run Scorer

It’s well overdue, but New Zealand have finally started their campaign against the warmed-up Afghanistan.

The Afghanis opened their account with a 125-run victory over Uganda, who were appalling.

An upset over New Zealand will sit them in a comfortable position for a spot in the Super 8’s and I believe they can do it.

Rashid Khan had an outstanding opening campaign, scalping two wickets in his last matchup.

Here are my remaining plays for tonights matchup.

• Afghanistan to win
• Rashid Khan 2+ Wickets
• Rachin Ravindra 20+ Runs
• Trent Boult 1+ Wicket

Pakistan are opening their campaign tonight against the inform hosts, USA.

It goes without saying that Pakistan are the heavyweights in this tournament and the US are comfortable underdogs, however, the form will play a massive factor leading into matchup.

The US are coming off a dominant victory over Canada which shows just how dangerous the States can be on their day.

Meanwhile, not only did Pakistan lose two T20 International games in a row to England, but they have also failed to prepare with a lack of training sessions and no warm-up games in the lead-up to their first match of the World Cup.

I can spell an upset on the horizon and my plays are down below.

• USA to win
• Andries Gous top US Runscorer
• Haris Rauf Top Pakistan Wicket Taker
• Babar Azam Top Pakistan Run Scorer
• Corey Anderson Top US Wicket taker

Indian fans will be watching all over the world when the number one ranked t20 side in the world opens their account tonight against Ireland.

India is expected to start with an outstanding batting order, headlined by Captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli.

India doesn’t have a single ounce of weakness, with their bowling lineup even more damaging with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya with the kookaburra in hand.

Ireland continues to go from strength to strength with their impressive performances and admirable attempts to chase down winning totals.

Led by captain and seasoned veteran Paul Stirling and Craig Young with the ball, We could be looking at a great battle in to start the night off with a bang.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears would be proud of the weather conditions in New York – Not too hot and not too cold, but just right!

My picks for tonight’s match can be found below.

• India to win
• Rohit Sharma to score 20+ Runs
• Paul Stirling to score 20+ Runs
• Jasprit Bumrah 1+ Wicket
• Craig Young 1+ Wicket

Somebody’s ‘0’ has got to go this morning when Papua New Guinea and Uganda meet for the first time this tournament.

PNG was last seen in a valiant attempt to defend a poor 136 runs against the West Indies, which says more about PNG being a competitive team than it does about the hosts.

A massive standout was Captain Assad Vala and Sese Bau who led the charge with the early runs before keeper, Kiplin Doriga finished it off at the back end of the innings with a respectable 27 off just 18 balls.

Uganda’s performance against Afghanistan was nothing short of junior cricket worthy, getting all out for 58 with Robinson Obuya being top run scorer with 14 off 25 balls.

The bowling attack of Uganda is much stronger in comparison to their batting, with opening bowler Cosmas Kyewuta and captain Brian Masaba standing out with two wickets each.

It will take something special for Uganda to get off the mark and the play on PNG seems to be the most logical from my point of view.

My remaining plays can be found below

• PNG to win
• Sese Bau 20+ Runs
• Assad Vala 1+ Wicket
• Cosmas Kyewuta 1+ Wicket

Headlining tonight’s World Cup matches will see Australia open their campaign against Oman.

Regardless of what side Head Coach Andrew McDonald picks, the Aussies will have an outstanding side leading into this morning’s matches.

One batsman that I will be looking at is Travis Head whose form is inclining with every game he plays.

The star left-hander was striking at 131.39 with the bat last year and now sits at an impressive 142.34.

For the bowling department, I can’t go past Adam Zampa, who needs just eight wickets to become the first Aussie male player to surpass 100 wickets in T20 Internationals.

A close eye will be on the weather tonight where we’re expecting some showers at the back end of the game, but I still love the top run scorer and wicket taker markets.

My picks for tonight’s matchup 

• Australia to Win
• Travis head top Australia Run Scorer
• Adam Zampa top Australia Wicket Taker
