T20 World Cup

Chris B.

Then 98/1 after 10 overs.

A story the Afghanis won't want to read.

Good for us, I guess.

Chris B.

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

127/3 after 13.

Chris B.

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!

Bones

Bloody good recovery from Afghanistan

Chris B.

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

Probably be enough unless Gurbaz gets going.

Chris B.

Gurbaz getting going...

Chris B.

50/0 after 4.

Dale Steyn's voice has gone up an octave!

bayimports

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

bayimports

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

Chris B.

Probably needed another three overs from him.

Chris B.

New batsman stands there admiring his shot unstead of running.

Partner stranded.

Chris B.

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

Rashid needs to do it all.

Chris B.

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.

Chris B.

Oops it was a no-ball....

Bones

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

No Quarter

Another no ball! Incredible scenes...

holy crap, this last over is crazy!!!

Oh

Bones

Why the fuck go for two?

No Quarter

Super over? Far out

You can't really expect your 10 and 11 to be the smartest batters. Here comes the super over!

I hope Afghanistan can pull it off, even though it would be better for us if they lose.

Bones

Rabada currently looking for a black hole

No Quarter

Decent over, they've got half a chance here. Crazy end to a game that looked like a formality but for a no ball

Bones

Surely if you've got a decent spinner, that's where you go?

Bones

Seems that was a superb setup by Fazal

canefan

Brevis was six and out. Proteas have a problem

No Quarter

Just don't bowl a no ball!

Bones

And then a full toss in the slot 🤦♂

Donsteppa

"Let's see that again"

Super overs x2.

canefan

Holy crap. Huge drama

Donsteppa

Both teams determined to turn a T20 into an ODI length.

Bones

As an aside I'm not a fan of the forum emoji interpretation

Chris B.

Fuck me!

Surely it should be a tie at this point!

Canes4life

This is crazy viewing.

Donsteppa

Am 50/50 on whether Rashid should bowl the over for Afghanistan.
