South Africa (113/6) defeat Bangladesh (109/7) by 4 runs in a nail-biting encounter of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[sweep_shot]

Only Klaasen and QDK were comfortable. Others struggled.

 

[Human786]

72/4 in 13

 

[sweep_shot]

Very costly. Miller is the only batter who seems to be comfortable with the conditions

He has struggled so far. 18 from 22*.

Klaasen has been more fluent.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saffers not being clever. They have a right left combo but not rotating strike to allow the other batter target shorter leg side.

 

[Human786]

what a Test bowler Steyn was ... 80/4 in 14 - game over

 

[mominsaigol]

He has struggled so far. 18 from 22*.

Klaasen has been more fluent.

Yeah but NY in both India vs Pakistan game, Canada vs Ireland game, and every sa game has proved that to win you need 2 batters. One batter who can play a small quick fire cameo and another who can hang in their till the end.

Do that and you win. 18 of 22 is gun on this trash heap of a pitch where 120 is a winning total. Although surprisingly Canada played the best here with 137, but that's probs due to how crap Irish 110 kph bowlers are as they were getting tonked by azam khan of all people

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh have let this slip

 

[Human786]

84/4 in 15

 

[jnaveen1980]

84/4 in 15

That is par here. India unusually got to 80 in 10 overs which was rare. THat was a bonus. SHuld have played conventionally got to 140

 

[Human786]

90/4 - 4 overs to go - 130 on !

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh have let this slip

They lacked 4th seamer

 

[mominsaigol]

Sa wins, Game over

 

[BaaliSoda]

3 overs to go, SA need at least 30 more runs.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Tanzim is from the same batch that won the U-19 World Cup.

Tanzid, Shoriful, Towhid Hridoy, and opener Tanzid. All 4.

Another highlight of his brilliance

 

[Human786]

102/5

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Bangladesh had an extra seamer they would have reduced them to lesser score.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bangladesh made a mistake by not playing 4 seamers here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Set players cannot hit here in 18th over. Think about it. Miller and klassen.

 

[jnaveen1980]

18th over 5 runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Defending is safer here than setting. Unless you bowl opposition out for 100 runs it is very hard to chase here.

 

[Human786]

106/6

 

[Rana]

This tournament so far has been pure torture for SA batters

They will get the best training going into the Super 8s

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will SA reach what India posted lol

 

[Rana]

Rishad looks like a good prospect

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh 50 all out loading here

 

[Rana]

Torturous Torturous venue

 

[Human786]

do they get 118-120 & defend it ? how tough the surface really is ....

 

[jnaveen1980]

India faield to bat one whole over

 

[Human786]

Bangladesh 50 all out loading here

maqzzak mut karo .... not that bad !

 

[jnaveen1980]

18th over 5 runs 1 wicket
19th over 4 runs 1 wicket

India was all out

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bangladesh 50 all out loading here

Need a BD batting special for that to happen, though

 

[sweep_shot]

Considering the firepower SA batting had, I think BD should be happy with this.

SA - 109/6 (19.1 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

I cannot believe they may end up posting less than India given the situation they were in. Bangladesh doesn't even have 4 seamers.

 

[sweep_shot]

do they get 118-120 & defend it ? how tough the surface really is ....

Same as yesterday I guess.

BD will probably chase 120 from 120 balls just like Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

3 dot balls.

Mustafiz is bowling well.

109/6 (19.3 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Miller has done well on this pitch. Pant both in warm ups and pak match did well.

 

[Human786]

4 dot balls in 20th over

 

[jnaveen1980]

4 dot balls in 20th over in a row

 

[Asif321]

Good smart captaincy . Babar can learn

 

[sweep_shot]

SA finish at 113/6 after 20 overs.

BD need 114 to win from 20 overs.

Bowlers have done the job. Batters need to step up.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

MAHARAJ BATTING LIKE IMAD

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can East Pakistan do what the West couldn't last night ?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

EXCELLENT batting. I hope Bangladesh can win and not bottle it up like pakistan did

 

[jnaveen1980]

MAHARAJ BATTING LIKE IMAD

I do no tthink you can judge any batsman based on their performance on this pitch. But you can judge based on how they do well in other conditions.

 

[Human786]

MAHARAJ BATTING LIKE IMAD

caps lock ON

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

4 dot balls in 20th over

imad and maharaj trained together

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Litton kumar had not dropped this would have been under 100

 

[cricketmerijaan]

I said it yesterday that 120 by India yesterday was a score above par. Everyone clapping for Miller, but his innings was no better than Rizwan's from yesterday.

Is it fair to say that Pakistan are a better batting side than SA

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Innings Break

SA 113/6 in 20 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

Less than run a ball is needed.

BD batters shouldn't let RRR go above 7.

 

[Human786]

Steyn feels 10 short ....

 

[jnaveen1980]

After 6 overs every single run will be an arduous task

 

[jnaveen1980]

I said it yesterday that 120 by India yesterday was a score above par. Everyone clapping for Miller, but his innings was no better than Rizwan's from yesterday.

Difference is Miller had to steady the ship a bit after a collapse. But bro Riz was doing when they had 9 wickets in hand.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now time for everyone to guess. What is your guess

I say 87 all out Bangladesh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The concept of "bat 20 overs you will win" won't be applicable for NY pitch. That is a bad strategy. You should target 17 overs not 20 overs.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Now time for everyone to guess. What is your guess

I say 87 all out Bangladesh.

Hoping for a convincing win for SA.

Not worried about the margin, just a win will do.

 

[stani_pak]

I will back Bangladesh to chase it, I know south africa have the bowlers to defend this target and the pitch last yesturday is not easy to bat on, but my gut feeling says Bangladesh will win, it wont be pretty but they will get through

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro, I said this to Major and Mamoon, make such comments when you have actually won and gotten an ego morale.

Each time you idiots say something like this, your predictions end it tears and then theirs a humiliation fest.

Wait for Bangladesh innings and if they win then you can talk about the rizwan fantasy comparison with Miller before I tear that to threads by informing you that Miller was batting first and rizwan was chasing.

But hopefully it doesn't come to that as if Bangladesh loses God has once again done the talking for me

 

[RidiculousMan]

They do have some flashy players up top and a gutsy player like Mahmudullah. I would give them half a chance

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh cannot think of "protecting" wickets and catching up.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should keep wickets in hand and not let RRR go above 7. If they can maintain that till 15th over, they have a chance.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This must be a dream come true for Waqar to be in the comm. box with the greatest pacy swing bowler of all time

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rabada, Nortje, Jansen promising Bartman. This is impossible. If they pull it off it will be a miracle.

why call posters idiots .... you are better than that biradar !

 

[jnaveen1980]

You have to give length balls not full balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Terrible length on this surface.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

Good shot from Tanzid.

 

[Human786]

Rabada on downward spiral since ....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rabada brainlessly pitching it full at 136 kph.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another four.

Back to back.

 

[Human786]

9 in 2

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

BD - 9/1 (2 overs).

 

[Human786]

9 in 2

out ???

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tanzim is acting like he didn't edge lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA have to bowl that defensive hard length almost exclusively. Can't go for wickets and bleed runs.

 

[mominsaigol]

why call posters idiots .... you are better than that biradar !

Because when I kindly advise the trolling intensifies.

 

[Human786]

Daqar as a commie is .....

 

[Rana]

Overs 16-20 is where it’s most difficult to score runs

Very hard to even get 5 per over at that point

 

[sweep_shot]

3 from Shanto.

BD - 12/1 (2.2 overs).
