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

[Croma]

Jansen looks calmer than Miller.

 

[cricketmania22]

He is brought westindies in the game

I was talking about the freebie on the legs.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

23 in 24.. we have a nail biter here..

 

[Croma]

This is the reason I appreciate Kohli.

During chases he is ICE COLD. Just calculates and executes!

 

[Devadwal]

It's getting tight .

What a WT20 we ae witnessing .

One of the best

 

[mominsaigol]

Another SA close encounter, these boys just cannot play a game where they dominate lol

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

No team should choke from here. Not even Uganda.

Pakistan did against India..

 

[jnaveen1980]

I jinxed Stubbs.

 

[Croma]

Stupid shot!

STubbs has choked BIG TIME!

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

lol.. another one gone.. What is wrong with SA.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .

Chokes

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

De ja vu for South Africa

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Chokers gonna choke

 

[Vikram1989]

Unless there is a brainless hoick from SA they are not getting any wicket. Are they expecting rain? Why are they rushing things.

Sa are doing as u said

 

[Asif321]

It’s time for mandatory Africa choke

 

[Croma]

Saffers deserve the choker tag!

My last hope is Maharaj.. You guys will laugh... But he is a fighter

 

[MANU ROY]

Tristan Stubbs gone another choker

 

[Devadwal]

No way South Africa can win the match now .

They threw most of wickets by playing bad shots

 

[Croma]

Saffers deserve the choker tag!

My last hope is Maharaj.. You guys will laugh... But he is a fighter

Only problem is skills...lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly see a runchase as bad as Pakistan's against India

 

[globetrotter]

This is mother of all choking games

 

[Croma]

SImple push to the leg and ran two. that was all that was needed from the main batters

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

No way South Africa can win the match now .

They threw most of wickets by playing bad shots

Maharaj can bat but it won't be easy for him against Alzarri

 

[Protea Fan]

joseph has one left still

wi match to lose now

 

[Croma]

I like what I am seeing from Jansen. Just keep coll head, calculate and push for singles and twos, put pressure on WI.

 

[Asif321]

I think this has been best T20WC after 2007 edition

 

[cricketmania22]

Pakistan did against India..

Pak’s equation was 23 of 14 balls here it was 23 off 25 balls. This is easier.

 

[Devadwal]

They need a boundary to belive they can win .

19 runs needed from 18 balls .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

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

These 2 dismissals show how deceptive Chase is. They both landed approximately on a length but with differing trajectories which are confusing batsmen .

To Miller , he bowled it flat and Miller thought it was shorter and to Tristan he flights it and he played for a fuller length.

Ability to hit the same area no matter what the trajectory is making him a lot more threatening than he looks

 

[Devadwal]

Pak’s equation was 23 of 14 balls here it was 23 off 25 balls. This is easier.

Pakistan equation was 47 runs from 47 balls and eight wickets in hands

 

[globetrotter]

It’s maharaj who won match by hitting boundary…. May be against PAk

 

[jnaveen1980]

This reminds me of Gabba test. India needed 53 runs in 9 overs with 5 wickets down. Debutant Sundar and Pant at the crease. Cricinfo said it is impossible. That is when Sundar pumped Cummins over square for a six and squirted a four in the next ball.

 

[Croma]

Super cool Jansen.. I like this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they should play their natural game. Should not be overly defensive

 

[cricketmania22]

Cricinfo 93.25% South Africa - win predictability lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sa are doing as u said

They always make sure there is a fielder there when they target an area.

 

[Croma]

Need 15 off 14.

DOnot go for glory shot... just take ones and if possible twos.

 

[Croma]

This is what pressure does...misfield and one converted to two

 

[cricketmania22]

Pakistan equation was 47 runs from 47 balls and eight wickets in hands

Sourh Africa didn’t require 47 runs when’s I posted that. Only 23 runs were left with 5 wickets in hand.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

SA proving themselves Kings of crunch games!!

 

[Croma]

13 off 12.. uffffff nailbiter! awesome game!

 

[Devadwal]

Pressure is huge for both team's ..

Needs another 13 runs from 12 balls

 

[globetrotter]

If SA lost this, markram to be blamed for not bowling full quota of Rabada, who knows WI could be bundled out under 100

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taller tailenders are good at saving matches? New theory. Due to reach may be?

Ishant
Jansen
Cummins

 

[cricketmania22]

13 off 12 with 4 wickets shouldn’t be difficult at all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If i am right Maharaja and Shamsi won the match against Pakistan at chennai.

 

[Croma]

Maharaj has right idea, but doesnt have the skills, and ................out

 

[jnaveen1980]

Told you lol They always make sure there is a fielder there before targeting. He could have lapped the ball rather.

 

[cricketmania22]

13 off 12 with 4 wickets shouldn’t be difficult at all.

3 now but still..

 

[Devadwal]

Gone. They are idiots . going for big shots instead taking single and double .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Once again, not full enough for Maharaj to play that shot.

 

[Croma]

Now WI on top and SA need some lucky hits or lucky edges to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gone. They are idiots . going for big shots instead taking single and double .

There is acres of vacant space behind the wicket lol He could have just tapped the ball.

 

[Vikram1989]

Maharaj gone.Saffers are getting too frightened to even handle a knock out scenario

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Unbelievable. Can't comprehend the thinking that goes into playing a shot like that at this juncture

 

[Croma]

Saffers needed one batter to push for ones and two from start to end to win this game.

 

[Devadwal]

Now Play one ramp shots

 

[cricketmania22]

Saf can lose by 3 runs in the end

 

[Vikram1989]

There is acres of vacant space behind the wicket lol He could have just tapped the ball.

Idea of playing till the end is alone killing sa.They want to close the game quickly in either way

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pressure is largely self-inflicted.

 

[Croma]

One lucky bye gets them 2

 

[Devadwal]

9 from 7

 

[Devadwal]

One edge is coming so dont lose hopes

 

[jnaveen1980]

One edge is coming so dont lose hopes

or one run out?

 

[Croma]

WHAT A BOUNDARY!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Boundary. 5 needed off last over.

 

[Ali Active]

5 of last over

 

[cricketmania22]

What a shot by Rabada!

 

[Devadwal]

That is four.

Now they Just need 5 runs from 6

 

[Protea Fan]

Rabada you little beauty!

 

[globetrotter]

Super over possible

 

[jnaveen1980]

Whattay shot by Rabada. commanding shot. Risk free s hot. This is how you play not lofted shot

 

[Croma]

need 5 in 6.. WOW

 

[cricketmania22]

I boundary needed!

 

[Devadwal]

Now dont go for glory shits instead taking single and double.

Dont waste any ball for Wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now dont go for glory shits instead taking single and double.

Dont waste any ball for Wickets

Rahim/Mahamdullah style

 

[cricketmania22]

Inside edge four will do jt

 

[jnaveen1980]

Inside edge four will do jt

They have a field for that

 

[Protea Fan]

their weakest bowler bowling

comooon proteas

 

[Croma]

WHAT A WIN!
