But thanks to Surya\u2019s brilliant knock, India got to 161 and eventually won the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan also found themselves in deep trouble against Netherlands as they needed 29 from 2 overs while chasing 147. But they could scrape through in the end. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, England was also in a state of deep trouble against Nepal as the latter almost chased down the target of 182 set by England. In the end, Nepal lost the game by just 4 runs as they came so close to defeating England in their first ever encounter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is evident that the smaller teams are in a very strong position of contention in the T20 World Cup, and the bigger teams are finding it hard to close out these otherwise usual games. This is a strong competition that is expected from the World Cup and it is good to see it happening this year.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ongoing T20 World Cup has started on a reasonably entertaining note with smaller teams, being able to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468007,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-468006","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468006\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
