3 key batsmen for Zimbabwe. All 3 can take the game away from you

 

[sweep_shot]

Zimbabwe - 64/4 (8 overs).

Final over. They should aim for 80 here. Can be a handy score.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That was awful bowling

 

[sweep_shot]

71/4 (8.3 overs).

3 balls to go.

 

[hamzie]

5 penalty runs what a bonus

 

[sweep_shot]

Five penalty runs have been awarded to Zimbabwe. Bonus runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Zimbabwe finish at 79/5.

South Africa need 80 to win from 9 overs.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Zimbabwe around 20 runs short

 

[Manager101]

Cricket has some of the most stupid rules. 5 runs for ball touching a falling glove.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good batting from Zimbabwe ultimately. Blessing and Ngarava key for an upset.

 

[MenInG]

8.3
Nortje to Milton Shumba, 1 run, full just outside off, Milton Shumba reverse-scoops and the ball goes off the back of the bat to fine-leg. And what do we have here: five penalty runs for Zimbabwe as Ngidi's throw falls on the glove lying on the ground. So that's bonus for Zimbabwe. The throw was on the bounce to de Kock who had one glove off, hits his pads and then kisses the glove lying in front of him

[sweep_shot]

Zimbabwe spinners have to play a key part. They need to be economical.

 

[hamzie]

SA going for a juicy NRR

 

[sweep_shot]

Two fours.

De Kock is hitting well.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four. Four. Four. Six. Four. Single.

23/0 (1 over).

De Kock has killed the game probably.

 

[hamzie]

need to come off raining too much

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lol 75mph pies. Babar and Rizwan will settle for 3

 

[hamzie]

yessssssssssssss
call the game off please

 

[sweep_shot]

Rain stops play.

 

[hamzie]

damn theyre back lool

 

[SM1989]

What a joke this game is... why can't the ICC have a 4 day gap in between the group stage and the knockout stage where they use the Docklands Stadium (indoor) to complete any rained out matches?

 

[Ab Fan]

SA unlucky.. Pakistan will unfairly qualify through uncertain advantage.

 

[Major]

Lol it started raining in the delay

 

[szrana007]

SA unlucky.. Pakistan will unfairly qualify through uncertain advantage.

No one will qualify unfairly, we will get a game here.

 

[Major]

Shares points hurt us, so its better if there is a result so one team gets 0 points here

 

[Energy]

de Kock couldn't put bat to ball properly in the recent India series. Lulz.

 

[Rana]

DeQock

This is how you smash Zimbabwe

 

[Ashmal]

SA unlucky.. Pakistan will unfairly qualify through uncertain advantage.

Lol....already started crying

 

[Rana]

The importance of a left hander at the top as an opener

 

[Major]

Nagarva down. Zimbabwe trying to delay and get it abandon )

 

[Major]

I actually wanted zimbabwe get advantage and get a point. But it hurts pakistan... Hard to decide

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bavuma maiden incoming.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If Rizwan hits Chatara for 23 in 2 overs even I will be over the moon.

 

[szrana007]

SA will get a massive NRR boost here.

 

[Major]

Reviewing to get time wastedd.. i m lovinf this game

 

[Rana]

If Rizwan hits Chatara for 23 in 2 overs even I will be over the moon.

He will hit him for 2 boundaries and a double, plus 3 dots

Job well done in his books

 

[Major]

Good decision by umpire. Damnn

 

[hamzie]

how are they not coming off its pouring

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 48/0 (3 overs).

16 runs are needed from 4 overs.

 

[szrana007]

Chase it in the next over.

 

[hamzie]

yesssssssss
call it offfffffffffffffffff

 

[hamzie]

rained off game good for pak

 

[Major]

And its raininggg.. its gonna get callled off now

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This will be called off.

Share points.

 

[WengerOut]

Bavuma -QDK innings reminds me of Kaluwitharanas - Sanath partnerships. History will tell the SL pair revolutionized ODI batting when Kalu was basically piggybacking on Sanath's explosive batting.

 

[Major]

The review and the no ball gave zimbabwe an advantage

 

[Nikhil_cric]

How many overs need to be completed for to result to be considered?

 

[szrana007]

Oh dear they are coming off again.

 

[hamzie]

How many overs need to be completed for to result to be considered?

5
but basically if they bowl one more ball, DLS kicks in and SA win because theyve already reached the DLS target
but DLS cant kick in unless one more ball is bowled

 

[GLORY OF '92]

How many overs need to be completed for to result to be considered?

5

 

[szrana007]

Extremely unlucky for SA here.

 

[Desi Don]

give South Africa two Points South Africa only need 13 runs in 24 balls

 

[hamzie]

no result
yewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
good news for pak

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Called off.

 

[ex-q-zit]

South Africa, Rain and World Cups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An eternal triangular love story

 

[szrana007]

Pakistan will still have to win against South Africa to make semis.

 

[WengerOut]

All the talk about SA bowling but Rabada, Ngidi and Nortje are basically cannon fodders if you are half decent players of cross bat shots. Comparitively Parnel and Maharaj are better.

 

[Markhor]

Someone could write a book on South Africa and World Cups.

 

[pakfan54588]

Once again rain have disrupted Sa worldcup campaign. If they win against both india and pak they deserve to be in semis

 

[adzzy786]

This is good news for us. I was worried about the NRR plus we would potentially relying on others to win/loose to go through. If we win all our other matches we should go through.

 

[hamzie]

Pakistan will still have to win against South Africa to make semis.

we have to win against everyone to make the semis

 

[pakfan54588]

knowing their choking history they will crumble either against India or pak

 

[asadee]

we have to win against everyone to make the semis

When was the last time this team won 4 in a row? Last WC?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

5
but basically if they bowl one more ball, DLS kicks in and SA win because theyve already reached the DLS target
but DLS cant kick in unless one more ball is bowled

Damn. Such rotten luck SA have.

 

[Major]

no result
yewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
good news for pak

this is actually bad news.

Both teams having point gives them advantage over us.
Because now RRR wont come into play, it can be like Pakistan 4 points and other side having 5 points.

We couldn't qualify the 2007 world cup because of this. Ireland vs Zimbabwe was abandon and both teams shared point. Pakistan would had qualified had zimbabwe won that match with 2 points, as that would had tied all three teams, but Pakistan had better RR.

This can come back to bite us. Not a good thing for us

 

[szrana007]

we have to win against everyone to make the semis

Sure, but Pakistan is expected to win against Zimbabwe, Holland and Bangladesh, so its the SA match which is crucial.

 

[Asif321]

Ridiculous this cricket is a joke.

Mate Zim were never going to beat SA. SA got 1 instead of 2 points. Use common sense

 

[sweep_shot]

So, game has been washed out.

To make it worse, one of the Zimbabwean bowlers got injured.

In 2007 WC, Zimbabwe-Ireland game was a tie. Not abandoned.

But, yeah. You have a good point.

 

[Ab Fan]

Embarassing stuff. I feel for the Saffers.

The whole cricket eternity should play a tournament and do a favour to them by letting them win a world tournament with no odds stopping against them.

 

[Inswing]

When was the last time this team won 4 in a row? Last WC?

Yes. And after losing games upfront we won 4-5 games in a row in WC 2019.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Major]

oh bhai, atleast try to understand what i am saying before talking about common sense.

it is better taht one team gets 0 and the otehr gets 2, instead of both teams getting a point each. Why? that is explained in my previous psot

 

[Major]

In 2007 WC, Zimbabwe-Ireland game was a tie. Not abandoned.

But, yeah. You have a good point.

sorry my bad, thanks for correcting me.

But yeh, points shared can become an issue for us which fans are not understanding. This is not a good thing for us

 

[asadee]

India benefits the most from this they just need to win 3 games now to qualify

 

[Ab Fan]

India benefits the most from this they just need to win 3 games now to qualify

Three minnows, easy pickings unless ofcourse rain spoils them too.

 

[-=Umair=-]

I think its good for us, In case the following scenario happens

if south africa beats india and loses to pakistan they will end up with 7 points instead of 8

if pakistan manages to win rest of the 4 games, we will end up with 8 points

and if india loses to south africa but wins rest of the three games they will end up with 8 points

this zimbabwe no result gives us the edge, as south africa would have also boosted their NRR and would have ended up with 8 points .

India also smash minnow team better than us, they will also boost their NRR

Zimbabwe was never going to win against SA or is supposed to win any rest of its matches, so how is it a bad outcome for Pak? are you guys out of your mind?


In anycase, its SA who got robbed off 1 point and it is good news for us, we don't have to rely on NRR to get through if SA beat Ind and we beat SA somehow (assuming we win all of rest of our matches). If one more game of SA gets called off then we have a chance even if we lose to SA considering Ind beat SA lol.

 

[MSaad1237]

Pak vs SA is a quarterfinal match now.. Unless any upsets happen lol..
