India vs South Africa | T20 WC | Group E | Durban | 20/9/07

[purplehaze]

Good bowling by 39-6 ... impressive

 

[hellopak]

If India lose from here, they all should take a bath in Ganga!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pak4life]

i got a funny feeling we will end up playing india

 

[down4whatever]

Bhajji doing his best to make a match out of this now.

 

[W63L35]

i got a funny feeling we will end up playing india

....no....SAF!!!! It is fixed!!!

 

[down4whatever]

Good bowling by 39-6 ... impressive

hehe, i see what you did there....

 

[purplehaze]

It's a SIX ... dead straight shot ...

 

[CricketBuff]

Can SA get to 126 or 142

 

[tmac4real]

77 needed of 42 balls!

very doable, I amscareed

 

[PlanetPakistan]

62 needed of 30 balls

 

[purplehaze]

62 off 30 needed. Boucher permitting, India should win from here

 

[sagar]

Very possible.

 

[asifp]

very doable, I amscareed

well playing NZ in the Semi Finals would be the best thing for Pakistan, as we all know NZ always loses in a WC Semi Final

 

[PlanetPakistan]

very doable, I amscareed

You are kind of late T

 

[PlanetPakistan]

well playing NZ in the Semi Finals would be the best thing for Pakistan, as we all know NZ always loses in a WC Semi Final

he is from India

 

[W63L35]

Can SA get to 126 or 142

SAF will get between 126-142!!

 

[hellopak]

SA needs 34 runs in 30 balls. Lets hope they get these 34 soon, once they are confirmed in semi final then they will go after India if it happened before 18 over.

 

[12thMan]

SA 92-5 after 15 - need 62 from 30 balls
IND was 97-4

 

[CricketBuff]

This T20 World Cup has been a big success for ICC after the WC failure in WI

 

[dirk diggler]

SA will ensure they finish 2nd in order to avoid AUS and play PAK, therefore PAK v IND final is a distinct possibility.

 

[hellopak]

Time for Bhajja to get a wicket.

 

[purplehaze]

57 needed off 24 .... do you feel SA can get it on this green top?

I feel India's home here ....

 

[deviously~fading~away]

look if we have to go thru the semi & into the final we need to play at our best. if we play poor we will lose it doesn't matter if the opposition is india, nz or sa. simple as that.

 

[sagar]

Well if Morkel doesn't get loose now, SA will have no chance to win this.

 

[Wazeeri]

57 of 24

Pakistan needed 49 of 24 against India and they only accelerated in the last 3 overs.
SAF can do this and that would just make my day.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SA might now be looking for 125

 

[sagar]

look if we have to go thru the semi & into the final we need to play at our best. if we play poor we will lose it doesn't matter if the opposition is india, nz or sa. simple as that.

That's the spirit

 

[deviously~fading~away]

57 needed off 24 .... do you feel SA can get it on this green top?

I feel India's home here ....

SA will not look to win this match they just want to score b/w 126-141. they don't want to face the aussies.

 

[CricketBuff]

looks like pak will be playing SA, with Ind playing Aus

 

[tmac4real]

SA needs 34 runs in 30 balls. Lets hope they get these 34 soon, once they are confirmed in semi final then they will go after India if it happened before 18 over.

how the **** did it get from 64 in 30 to 34 in 30?

 

[purplehaze]

15 wides i.e. 2.5 overs India bowled extra... along with extra 15 runs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

so how would you like guys? SA or IND?

 

[CricketBuff]

Ind gifted too many wides here

 

[hellopak]

how the **** did it get from 64 in 30 to 34 in 30?

There first target is to score 126 to confirm their berth in semi final. Then if they win they will eliminate India.

 

[tmac4real]

nice comeback from bajji, 5 runs in the slog overs. coming bakc from a 15 run over.

 

[sagar]

The way it looks now, I don't think SA is trying to win this.

 

[Wazeeri]

No ball or not?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Boucher is gone!

 

[hellopak]

But it seems like SA target is 126 not 142 or winning. They will try green top against Pakistan now in semi final.

 

[purplehaze]

Boucher departs ... and so does saffer winning hopes! So is it
Ind Vs Aus and SA Vs Pak in semi finals? (assuming SA gets 127)

 

[PlanetPakistan]

No ball or not?

No...no ball...a yes ball...boucher gone...SA gone??

 

[Wazeeri]

I think the perfect result would be a tie and india to lose the bowl out

 

[PlanetPakistan]

They are panicking again...the S Africans

 

[Wazeeri]

That would be a brilliant Semi Final line up.

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Boucher gone ... this changes the complexion of the game! 16.4 overs, 100/6

 

[PlanetPakistan]

seems like we will be getting SA or NZ!

 

[sagar]

Boy if these SAffies play like this against Pakistan then I don't mind playing against them.

 

[tmac4real]

seems like we will be getting SA or NZ!

haha it has always been sa or nz, what did you thin, engladn would slip in there somehow.

 

[sagar]

Boy what are these Saffies doing? Are they trying get kicked out of this tourney?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Gone!! Philander gone! Are SA going out of the tournament?

 

[purplehaze]

haha it has always been sa or nz, what did you thin, engladn would slip in there somehow.

haha ...

 

[pak4life]

im just glad were not playing in durban. cape town will suit us

 

[W63L35]

SA will ensure they finish 2nd in order to avoid AUS and play PAK, therefore PAK v IND final is a distinct possibility.

..saying that since their innings started.
only 26 needed in 3 overs!!!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

103-7, will Sa get 126?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

haha it has always been sa or nz, what did you thin, engladn would slip in there somehow.

I meant that PAK wont get IND because it seems IND will top the group!

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Question: What does India want? Their options (assuming they themselves can beat AUS to enter the finals):

1) Keep SA from reaching 126. SA goes home, and NZ meets PAK. The winner meets them in Final. They lost to NZ, and PAK is a tough competitor, though their track record in WC certainly suits IND.

2) Let SA score 126. This way, SA can eliminate PAK in the semifinal (from a wishful Indian perspective!), and final becomes a rematch of this current IND-SA game. India has moral advantage.

So, if I was the Indian management, I would go for option 2.

 

[CricketBuff]

exciting match for everyone

 

[pakistani]

if SA doesent gets 126 than who will pak play

 

[dirk diggler]

20 from 12 balls needed by SA

 

[pak4life]

philander looks worser then butt!

 

[12thMan]

SA can be knocked out if Morkel doesn't do anything.
What was that waveing bye by Bhaji

 

[Gunner786]

forget the result
i think rp singh will get 5 wickets this match

he needs 2 more and has 1 over left with the saffies hitting out

 

[dirk diggler]

if SA doesent gets 126 than who will pak play

NZ

You might add that Ind will have to beat Aus first in semi

 

[sagar]

Can SA be kicked out of this tournament?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SA need to get send some one with the message!

20 of 12 guys

 

[Wazeeri]

I hope RP gives away 36 in his over.

 

[Wazeeri]

Ok 30

 

[W63L35]

need 20 in two overs!!!!!!!!

 

[sagar]

Now this will be interesting.

 

[W63L35]

need 20 in two overs!!!!!!!!

..still possible and will happen! Morkel is still there!

 

[tmac4real]

I meant that PAK wont get IND because it seems IND will top the group!

and it would prove you wrong, having ind in the semis

 

[sagar]

Go India, kill SA so they are kicked out.

 

[dirk diggler]

17 from 9 balls for SA,

 

[tmac4real]

now the MOM is bowling, RP Swing!!

 

[Gunner786]

morkel bowled rp singh

he needs 1 more to be the first to get 5 wickets and i dont think anyone will get 5 wickets ever again

 

[down4whatever]

SAF got themselves in deep ^&% i dont even think they'll qualify now. Need boundaries to kick NZ out.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

gone! Singh strikes! What a spell by RP Swing

 

[hellopak]

8 balls 17 runs

 

[12thMan]

Morkel bowled
RP has one more ball to get a 5fer
