Afghanistan VS South Africa | ICC World T20: 12th Match| Bridgetown | 5/5/10

[Abdullah22]

a lot of similarities between us and afghan tailanders batting well than upper and middle order. Six to end the over.
I think the batsmen got shocked with the pace of the bowlers and so lost their wickets.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Massive again!

Shot sir.

 

[mon858]

84 of 8 overs, still on target.

get to 45 of 4,

25 of 2,
and then finish it off

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Can he hit it or WHAT!

THAT WAS HUUUUUUUUUUUGEEE!!

 

[Abdullah22]

who said afghans are going to make the lowest t20 score huh? Think twice.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Well now the fun ends.

It was a nice thought but Charles the bald headed eagle has ended it. Smith changed his gameplan eventually.

Well played though.

 

[Sledger]

At least they avoided being shot out for the lowest total.

Well done to Afgans for passing the lowest total but I get the feeling if Steyn and Morke continued it wouldn' t have been so.

Well in t20 you have only 4 overs max and they survived. Though at one point it was look like 20 all out but tailanders did their job.

Lol, easy to say that once they've actually avoided the lowest total.

 

[Sledger]

64(30) required. Game still on! Go Pathans, go...

Morkel has an over left. Will Smith give him the chance for a 5 wicket haul. I think only Umar Gul has ever done this.

 

[Sledger]

No Sammy has also done it, and so has some Zimbabwe/Kenya bowler iirc.

 

[Sledger]

Game over.

80 all out.

So we'll have a tough super 8 stage with all the best teams (and India) managing to secure a spot!

 

[KingKhanWC]

80 all out.

Well played Afghanistan, a very good effort for such a new team. They should be really pleased with their progress, their bowling attack is better than India's alreadly.

So all the top 8 teams in the next round.

Pakistan have an early start against England. It's time for some serious cricket now, the 'fun' cricket part has ended.

Goodnight all.

 

[Kriketer]

Well this total is better than how things seemed early on that they might roll over under 30-40 runs. Only if their top order hadn't touched every out-swinging delivery then game would have been alot more competitive.

 

[Strike!]

Some of those lower order batsmen need to be placed higher, Hopefully they learn from mistakes and come back stronger next time. Also Ashraf hit the highest six of the tournament!! It was huuuuuge.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Am sure the Afgans will have enjoyed there 1st big tourney and will learn from their experiences.
