South Africa (124/7) beat West Indies (135/8) by 3 wickets via the DLS method to book semi-final spot

[jnaveen1980]

Catch of the tournament? beat Noor's catch

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ridiculous take by Pooran.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was such a venomous delivery.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last recognized pair. This is the problem with SA. They should have played responsibly instead of hitting the ball to the moon.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Alzarri keeping West Indies in the game. His lengths have been perfect on this wicket. Outstanding catch by Pooran too. Would have liked Klaasen to have stayed a bit longer but now South Africa absolutely can't do anything reckless or it will be back to bottling territory for them.

 

[Devadwal]

How are you sure Aussies are eliminated? Aussies can still qualify.

India vs Australia game is not a knockout game so india are most fearless team when there is no pressure .

If this would have knockout game for india. Then i will definitely say Australia going to win.

 

[Croma]

Klaasen

 

[sweep_shot]

45 are needed from 54 balls.

South Africa can win this with singles and doubles.

He just could not do anything. But other wickets were avoidable.

Aussies can lose and still qualify (if Afghanistan fail to win). Australia's NRR is much better than Afghanistan's NRR.

 

[Croma]

I trust Stubbs more than Miller

 

[jnaveen1980]

David Miller has played some crunch games this world cup. He is the last hope.

 

[cricketmania22]

Pitch has spiced up. Joseph is the only real threat here now.

 

[Devadwal]

RRR is 5 so no problem for them .

South Africa is crusing now even after klaasen wickets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I trust Stubbs more than Miller

Without Miller they could have potentially lost to a minnow

 

[sweep_shot]

Would be tragic if South Africa get eliminated here after winning 6 out of 6.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He just could not do anything. But other wickets were avoidable.

Yeah this was pretty unplayable. But really disappointing stuff from Markram and de Kock in particular

 

[sweep_shot]

3 wides. Bad bowling.

RRR is now 4.84.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Would be tragic if South Africa get eliminated here after winning 6 out of 6.

Meanwhile England through after beating Oman, Namibia, USA and West Indies

 

[jnaveen1980]

In the 30s. Once you are in the 30s you should get home. That is magic territory.

 

[Devadwal]

Aussies can lose and still qualify (if Afghanistan fail to win). Australia's NRR is much better than Afghanistan's NRR.

Afghanistan is playing last game so they will know exact condition what they need to do to qualify for Semifinals .

Advantages Afghanistan

 

[JaDed]

Meanwhile England through after beating Oman, Namibia, USA and West Indies

In all honesty India hasn’t beaten any too T20 team yet either.

but yeah Oman Namibia USA(in WI) have been associate levels.

 

[Protea Fan]

Beautiful from stubbs so far

he is middling everything to precision

 

[sweep_shot]

37 are needed from 48.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stubbs improved his cricket by playing hockey. He expanded his range of strokes in the IPL. In IPL you get the freedom without pressure to do such things.

 

[Croma]

Without Miller they could have potentially lost to a minnow

In this particular chase... Not historically... Gut instinct

 

[Ali Active]

In all honesty India hasn’t beaten any too T20 team yet either.

but yeah Oman Namibia USA(in WI) have been associate levels.

but Eng have bashed these teams so they have nrr advantage

 

[jnaveen1980]

If only SA's fielding was sharp WI would not have scored that many.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

man SA don't make life easy for their supporters..

 

[jnaveen1980]

In this particular chase... Not historically... Gut instinct

He played brilliantly in the semi final didn't he? against Australia in 2023 world cup scoring 101 out of 212 on a tricky pitch

 

[Croma]

I am worried Miller will look for a big release shot and get out.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Meanwhile England through after beating Oman, Namibia, USA and West Indies

Really unfair imo.

 

[sweep_shot]

This is Alzarri's 3rd over. 1 more over to go. South Africa can see him off maybe.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa need 34 runs in 42 balls.

 

[Devadwal]

I woke up early to see westindies knockout from the tournament .

Thankyou South Africa .

Don't mind South Africa win the world T20.

 

[sweep_shot]

34 are needed from 7 overs.

 

[Croma]

He played brilliantly in the semi final didn't he? against Australia in 2023 world cup scoring 101 out of 212 on a tricky pitch

why do you feel the need to argue with me?

WHy cant I have a different opinion?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Saffers look under pressure still.. too many dots.. they need to rotate strike.

 

[Devadwal]

Miller don't throw your wicket .

RR is still less than 6 runs

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What on earth are SA doing??

 

[Devadwal]

What on earth are SA doing??

Ghost of knockout game like us .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saffers look under pressure still.. too many dots.. they need to rotate strike.

After him Jansen the all rounder. After Jansen all bowlers who can bat a bit. Weak tail

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like South Africa are only going to win every match by the skin of their teeth - whether the opponent is Nepal, England or Windies doesn't seem to matter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA batting line up eerily looks like Indian line up for the last 10 years. Batting literally stops at 6. Runs from 7 is a bonus.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa should win this from here.

Around 30 to win.

 

[Croma]

Just take singles and win... why try for glory shots STubbs?

 

[Devadwal]

Looks like South Africa are only going to win every match only by the skin of their teeth - whether the opponent is Nepal, England or Windies doesn't seem to matter.

This is actually good for them . They now know the how to Play in presure situation.

 

[Devadwal]

South Africa need 31 runs in 36 balls

 

[Protea Fan]

Russel is a gun T20 player

what he brings up to the table with bat bowl and field is gold

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

South Africa just have to see through Alzarri and De Rus. Not give them any wickets. The game is in the bag

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

SA need to get to 100 first.. in next 6-8 balls to calm some nerves. They look very nervous.

 

[globetrotter]

Couple of wkts and SA wii b back for their main business

 

[Devadwal]

Chase ? Really

 

[Ali Active]

miller choked

 

[Croma]

There is just one fielder inside circle on leg side Miller... Push anywhere and take single...***!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Tristan Stubbs has played a brilliant knock so far. Exactly what the situation demanded.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Chase ? Really

its a gamble.. he may get a wicket due to false shot. and there you go...

 

[Devadwal]

Pressure

 

[Croma]

I KNEW IT ... MILLER CHOKED! useless peez of sheet

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

what the hell South Africa?

 

[globetrotter]

93-5… SA is back to the main business

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The mother of all pathetic innings' by Miller. Absolutely awful.

 

[Croma]

Maharaj has balls of steel send him NOW!

 

[Protea Fan]

Miller never looked comfortable ever since he came to bat

know this is coming

 

[Devadwal]

Man if South Africa can't chase this halua target then they are really pathetic in presure situation

 

[Ali Active]

if south africa lose from here then tag choker should remain with them permanently

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Miller with a classical South African knockout innings. Now the game is wide open.

 

[MANU ROY]

Sa choking again ?

 

[cricketmania22]

There wasn’t even that much pressure on Miller right now and yet he threw it away.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Chase ? Really

Chase is their most accurate spinner. Has landed 70 % deliveries on a good length this tournament .

 

[Croma]

Just push for singles and two and put WI under pressure for god sake

 

[cricketmania22]

Miller just couldn’t get going.

 

[Devadwal]

Just 2 runs and a wicket from Chase over .

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Can't believe West Indies waited for 12 overs to bring on Chase. Could have opened the bowling with him. He would have had a good match-up against de Kock.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't see South Africa winning from here .

Finally a welcome boundary

 

[cricketmania22]

Russel helping Saf

 

[Devadwal]

Russel helping Saf

He is brought westindies in the game

 

[Croma]

That fine leg was stationed perfectly...wow

 

[cricketmania22]

No team should choke from here. Not even Uganda.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stubbs is playing a little gem. Actually he was playing some great knock in the IPL this season under pressure. He has a great top gear.
