New Zealand [245/6] beat South Africa [241/6] by 4 wickets in 25th match of 2019 World Cup

[Hasan123]

This innings is going nowhere.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

SA against spin ***

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Miller to smack satner for 6s

 

[Hasan123]

South Africa ran India close defending 228, NZ struggled to chase 245 vs Bangladesh. All is not lost.

 

[Hasan123]

Henry back on.

 

[Kianig89]

Shoaib Malik vs Lockie Ferguson anyone

 

[Hasan123]

Miller needs a couple of boundaries to get going.

 

[hasanali]

This pitch is so slow. Not even Miller is timing the ball.

 

[Deewana]

Van der dusen is class
liked him since his debut vs Pak

 

[lahoriyah1234]

SA need 20 runs overs from here on.

 

[Deewana]

This pitch is so slow. Not even Miller is timing the ball.

see williamsom taylor milk tahir here

 

[lahoriyah1234]

NZL fielding. Can we hire one of the nzl player after they retire.

 

[Deewana]

I am sensing a classic here.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Van der Dussen and Asif Ali are in my opninion the 2 batsmen that make hitting a six easy

 

[lahoriyah1234]

see williamsom taylor milk tahir here

I doubt it. Only Indian batsmen can do that Only.

 

[Hasan123]

Miller looking to get going now.

 

[Deewana]

Miller has been rubbish this wc
a guy with his hitting ability has been an under achiever

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Phehlukwayo is a smart bowler and should fancy bowling in this pitch, he should come in next. Miller has lost his touch

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Need more of that from David 'Milla'.

 

[Hasan123]

Van Der Dussen has to get going now.

 

[Savak]

Who would have though that South Africa will one day become an average team struggling for talent? Unfortunately kolpak has really killed them. However the good news is that with Brexit, no South African player will be able to take advantage of the kolpak rules anymore.

 

[Hasan123]

Andile is a dangerous hitter as well .

 

[Hasan123]

Simon Doull is biased.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Boult such a nice guy, making sure he's ok. That's like genuine, comes from the heart unlike Wood who kept going for the head against Afghan batsman after hitting him

 

[Hasan123]

Van Der Dussen should have come at 3 or 4.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Boult such a nice guy, making sure he's ok. That's like genuine, comes from the heart unlike Wood who kept going for the head against Afghan batsman after hitting him

Kiwis are real gentlemen. Lovely people and Genuinely nice.

 

[castortroy]

Still think SA will beat us

 

[Markhor]

Really like the look of Van der Dussen, a tough and gritty batsman who's paid his dues in domestic cricket.

 

[castortroy]

Kiwis are real gentlemen. Lovely people and Genuinely nice.

Yeah big difference between kiwis and Aussies

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Still think SA will beat us

Yes they might. But not if we bat first and put 280. Spinners wont let them win.

 

[Hasan123]

50 for Van Der Dussen.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Yeah big difference between kiwis and Aussies

Aussies

 

[Markhor]

Phehlukwayo is a proper all rounder unlike the Fake Swag Trio of Imad, Shadab and Fahim.

 

[Deewana]

Hackswayo wasted 5 balls

 

[Kianig89]

Duseen is not a no. 5 6 batsman

148kph

 

[Hasan123]

Need a Morris special.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ONly guy who is "world cup ready" is vander dussen

 

[Kianig89]

Nz might finish at no'3 above Aussies

 

[Hasan123]

Phehlukwayo is a proper all rounder unlike the Fake Swag Trio of Imad, Shadab and Fahim.

Also has character. Those 3 don't.

 

[Markhor]

That was one of Ferguson's worst deliveries but gets a wicket nonetheless.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Phehlukwayo is a proper all rounder unlike the Fake Swag Trio of Imad, Shadab and Fahim.

U cant blame shadab he hasnt been given a proper run. Plus he is young, i still think they should have persisted with Fahim he was bowling well. Unfair to drop him when he was with the team for last 2 yrs.

 

[Kianig89]

Rabada to sail Pakistan's ship and take 6/14

 

[bluevision]

Is it a tough pitch or just SA being SA? Just tuned in..

 

[Syed1]

Really like the look of Van der Dussen, a tough and gritty batsman who's paid his dues in domestic cricket.

Who would have thought selecting domestic performers will pay dividends, I thought selecting players from domestic T20s after a flash-in-the-pan performance was the secret to success. That's the model Inzi the revolutionary seems to be following

 

[Kianig89]

Shadab is a good player should be persisted with

 

[Hasan123]

Fergusson looks difficult to get away.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Why would you send Andile if you have Morris in you 11

 

[Kianig89]

Batsman like Dussen is Pakistan's dream and wish atm

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very hard to be an SA fan. Haven't won anything since 1999 (multinational tournament)

 

[Markhor]

Also has character. Those 3 don't.

A bat and ball average of 31/29 is brilliant for an allrounder.

However we invested two years in a seam bowling AR who ended up with figures of 12/37...

 

[Kianig89]

Ferguson will terrorize our brittle middle order

 

[Chokli]

A bat and ball average of 31/29 is brilliant for an allrounder.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

 

[Aman]

Nz might finish at no'3 above Aussies

Would rather face India than England in a Semi.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan's WC is doomed just dont have the right personnel :dropped

 

[Chokli]

250 minimum for Saffers

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Imad for T20 only.

 

[Markhor]

U cant blame shadab he hasnt been given a proper run. Plus he is young, i still think they should have persisted with Fahim he was bowling well. Unfair to drop him when he was with the team for last 2 yrs.

He has been given a proper run and averages 50 with the ball v top teams.

We need proper spinners not bits and pieces.

 

[Kianig89]

Henry has been exceptional

 

[WengerOut]

Would rather face India than England in a Semi.

You can face Casablanca in the semis and still lose. That is your limit

 

[Aman]

Another dropped catch

Our fielding isn't as good as it use to be, we have a few errors in us.

 

[Hasan123]

SA need a couple of more boundaries.

 

[Aman]

You can face Casablanca in the semis and still lose. That is your limit

How far did you go in 2015 again?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pathetic stuff from dussen could have take 3 singles.

 

[Markhor]

Not sure what Morris's notable international performances are other than a matchwinning cameo I think v England in an ODI in 2016.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Thank God I had Ferguson in my fantasy, come on two more wickets

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Need Rabada and Ngidi to run riot here or SA are toast if this is a 300 pitch

 

[Pete Rose]

Come on Saffers!

 

[Markhor]

Taking pace off the ball seems key on this wicket. Tahir will play a vital role for SAF.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Van der dussen my bro! Great hit

 

[Aman]

Pitch looks tough, 240 will be tough to chase here.

 

[Markhor]

Great batting from VDD. That's defendable if SAF put in a disciplined bowling effort.

 

[Mueez]

This will be a good second innings to watch.

Pitch looks tough.

Tahir will be crucial for South Africa.

 

[hasanali]

SA are short but not by that many. I think 265 is par here.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Not enough on board

 

[Gullycricket]

This kind of pitch in semis will be death blow to this English team

 

[IAJ]

Pitch looks tough, 240 will be tough to chase here.

Just watched the last couple of overs now, terrible wicket. You need to score heavily upfront. Once the balls are old it looks difficult to time the ball. Imran Tahir the key for SA here.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Imran tahir needs to pull through pleassee

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what do you reckon about this game ?

242 in 49 overs - I guess SAF would have been happy with another 10-12 may be (from that start, otherwise every team will be happier with 500+) - Markram's untimely wicket cost them 15 runs at least and probably the match. But, SAF kept IND honest with 230ish target on a better surface - if it's a bit cloudy at Birmingham, I think SAF are well in this game; it'll take some effort for Kiwis to win it.

 

[Chokli]

Vander Dussen needs to bat at 3

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Van Der Dussen - Sticky wicket , not a 300 wicket
