PAK 26/3 vs the mighty US and A, they will be lucky to get to 150 from here and the USA can bat a bit

watching NED vs SA, they are absolutely blasting 5 to 10 seconds of dance music in between every single ball. must be intolerable to be in the stadium

Maybe it will encourage faster over rates

sith ifricah 12/4 chasing about 100 lol

QdC ran himself out first ball
kendrick bowled through the gate
markram tickled one down the leg side to the keeper
klaasen out pulling to square leg/mid wicket

they are playing in new york, which has featured ugly two-pace rando-bounce pitches so far, but tbh this pitch, which i dont think has been used yet (they are all drop-ins) doesnt seem all that bad

i take that back, the pitch is another trampoline

eng aus. we've not had much trouble with the aussies in recent t20 tournaments, but will jacks bowling the second over and getting pumped for 22 runs doesnt help much

Let's go SCOTLAND!

I think England will still pip us to 2nd even if we win tonight, England should thrash both Namibia and Oman and we'll lose to Australia so will go down to net run rate

Bloody hell this is brilliant from us, chased down 151 in 13.1 overs

Only Oman bowling but still

Could be good for our net run rate vs England...

How do you bottle chasing 119 and now even get all out.

So the required runrate was too much for pakistan?

They choked it away, needing like 35 from 6 overs at one point with 6 wickets left. So it got to 30 from 3 after losing some wickets

I thought England was done there because of the rain.

Currently in a qualifying position but all that could change in a couple of hours.

unlikely to be a washout looking at the forecast so we will probably have to rely on AUS losing on purpose lol

Let’s not under estimate Scotland.
0/90 (10) v ENG
2/96 (10) v AUS

If they beat Australia then they deserve to go through. Of course it would be a terrible shame if we lost England at the group stage.

5/180, Scotland’s highest score against a top 10 nation

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...m;view=innings

Sadly, I don’t see Australia losing this.

I can’t understand how the stupid super 8 round works. I believe that India’s place and locations were predetermined, it didn’t matter if they finished 1st or 2nd in their group.

And similar for other teams, there was no incentive to win a group. I don’t know, it’s unclear.

The rationale is that you want the groups balanced based on ability and not have a group of death and an easy group.

The truth is though that they wanted to try as hard as possible to get the fixtures they wanted when they wanted them.

India pakistan in group stage and knockout stage.

Australia England on group stage and knockout stage etc.

lockie ferguson with his 4 overs going for three wickets and no runs against PNG today, pretty cool

did go for a leg bye though so it doesnt really count
