T20 World Cup

Some brief highlights.

Afghanis got Markram early, but the Jaapies have consolidated.

64/1 after 8.

Game in the balance - SA slightly on the slow side, but wickets in hand - next handful of overs will tell a story.

Then 98/1 after 10 overs.

A story the Afghanis won't want to read.

Good for us, I guess.

SA gets to 124/1 - then Rashid gets both set batsmen with 2/3.

127/3 after 13.

159/5 after 18 overs.

They looked like making 200 easily, earlier. Been a bit conservative and lost wickets.

Miller and Jansen can do some damage in the last couple though!

Bloody good recovery from Afghanistan

@Bones Yeah - looked like a score well over 200 for a while.

Probably be enough unless Gurbaz gets going.

Gurbaz getting going...

50/0 after 4.

Dale Steyn's voice has gone up an octave!

2 quick wickets and they're coming back to earth, hopefully Gurbaz hangs around for a few more overs though

big wicket taken Gurbaz gone 121/4, has he done enough?, probably not as I dont think they bat that deep. Exceptional innings nonetheless

Probably needed another three overs from him.

New batsman stands there admiring his shot unstead of running.

Partner stranded.

Stubbs with a clever catch on the boundary - may be the matchwinner - wicket falls saves 6.

Rashid needs to do it all.

And SA mop them up.

Just not enough runs from the other batsmen - I think that was there for the taking for Afghanistan.

SA score a bit light.

Oops it was a no-ball....

Somewhere, someone is putting a pile of money aside for Rabada

Another no ball! Incredible scenes...

holy crap, this last over is crazy!!!
