  • Shadab gets Bavuma with his first ball. Will be MOM if Pakistan win.
  • Spoke too soon

    And then bowls Markram with his 3rd ball

    Pakistan were cheated yesterday too. A good win over SA today and Bangladesh and they could still have gone through. In fact, would have because of NRR
    And a loss to SA today and I think they might have 'accidently' lost to Bangladesh.

    Yesterday was a game India had to.win, and I don't think many of us will consider it a coincidence that the umpires took the decision to rush back out to allow them the chance to do so.
  • SA behind on DLS now and the covers are coming on
  • It will be interesting to see, if it stops, how quickly they get out there. I have since spoken to Seb and he says that yesterday was ridiculous and that there was no way that they should have gone out when they did as evidenced by Das slipping over twice. The pressure on the Umpires to do so has to be coming from the ICC (and not just the Indian high profile players) because I just don't see, with the onus on protecting the players from injury and risk of Umpires being sued should one occur that is career threatening, them making that decision off their own back -  yes I know that they are covered by insurance but you simply do not make that decision, even with insurance in place, because it is a stain that you carry with you on your CV.   
  • DLS par score for SA after 9 overs is 85 so they actually needed to have scored 17 more than they have to be ahead. That over of Shadab's may well have made the difference between Pakistan winning and that's without his 52 off 22 balls - the 2nd ever fastest T20 50 by a Pakistan batsman.

    Yep, because sadly money talks and it's all about viewers, clicks etc etc, and India in a semi final brings that.
  • Does seem a tad ridiculous that SA need to be 30 runs ahead of where Pakistan were at this stage for the loss of the same number of wickets.

    Indeed it does but, having been 55-4 at that stage, Pakistan's 130 off the final 11 overs was also extremely unusual.

  • Starting at 11.41. 5 overs to be bowled and the target will be 142 so 73 required
  • Superb death bowling by Pakistan
  • Two wickets for 6 runs in 2 overs at that stage is fantastic.

    Imran Knan shot in assassination attempt.

    Sounds like he's OK though.
  • Pakistan win by 33 runs
  • Looks very much like one semi final will be NZ v SA.

    The other will be India v England/Australia.
  • Former Pakistan Prime Minister and cricketer Imran Khan has been shot in the leg and foot in an assassination attempt. He's come a long way since I saw him play for Worcestershire against Kent in the mid 1970s at Hesketh Park, Dartford. The injuries are not thought to be life threatening and I hope that he makes a full recovery.  
  • If NZ and Aus win tomorrow, our game against SL will be a dead rubber for them.

  • Afghanistan have won the toss and will field. Australia will need to go big. Finch out of the Australian side injured and Starc and David have been left out too. In come Green, Starc and Kane Richardson.


  • Can see Australia getting 200 here then skittling them for 100.

    That would be disastrous

    Is Starc for Starc regarded as a like-for-like replacement?

    Yes. Twins. Late change. Smith has come in.
  • Warner can "switch hit" but can't "switch defend"

    The two batsmen that have come in for Australia are out for 7 between them and cost a review too

    53-3 off 6 overs
  • As soon as Marsh was dropped I thought 'uh oh'

    Frustrating, would have piled the pressure on them being 4 down.
