Superb! This is type of round I really like to see. We have something of evrything. A Jumbo to @Carresan, excellent! A Bingo by @grayruby, great! (Aren't you jealous @Undisciplined?) Some average and low scores and a wicket to @TheMorningStar. What else do we want to see??
It's still too early to reach a conclusion though.
Best of Luck everyone!

Thanks for playing.
What an incredible week! After winning the USA vs World challenge this week, then my first jumbo! Great!!
Nice job on the Jumbo. I knew Canada would not let you down.
Thanks! Very tight match though I could not understand why Canada won it despite of getting less runs than Namibia. Any thoughts @Coinsreporter?
It was rain marred game. When rain comes mid game after the toss and overs need to be adjusted than runs also adjusted accordingly. It's called Duckworth Lewis method.
It's complicated but it's fair.

Wow! Really elaborated method !
Yes. It's for a situation where the target score for a chasing team needs to adjusted when the overs are reduced. But when there are less number of overs the chasing team is at advantage if score is adjusted without it.
Suppose a team scores 300 in 50 overs and the rain comes. The overs are reduced to 25 for the chasing team. With DLS the target should be 151 which is unfair because knowing that the chasing team still has ten wickets in hand the target is made higher by DLS and can be around 190 to 200.
I understand they apply this method, especially considering how often rains affects the game. I see that it was introduced fairly recent, was there confrontation to this rule from old school fans?
Great job on picking 160 runs for canda. Noone else has done it because Canada made only 165 in a 50 overs game that was reduced to 39 overs each side. Though Canada could only win it in a super over. That was a hell of a match.
This certainly seems like your month. Were you born in March?
A bit lucky there. I did check the previous results and I noticed some low scores in previous matches. That's why I picked that amount.
Bingo!
Now we are talking.
Congrats 👏 well played!
@Undisciplined picked Namibia over Canada and look what happened.
He always underestimates Canadian greatness.
He and every US person should acknowledge the Canadian greatness as in the 3rd round Canadian women have also defeated the US women.
They should also acknowledge that Canada can never be 51st state, not like this. ;)
And I don't regret it one bit
