South Africa (163/6) defeat England (156/6) in a thrilling encounter by 7 runs in Super 8 Group 2 clash of ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[Croma]

This pitch is difficult to score of if you take pace off

 

[mominsaigol]

Qdk made things look easy, The others need to ensure Qdk innings ain't wasted

 

[Human786]

outttttttttttt

 

[Croma]

That was an unreal throw by Butler...

Match winning throw!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh dear. Wheels coming off. O e could see this coming g

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Without 170 + , no chance of winning for SA.

 

[Croma]

I dont know what Saffers cna do from here. Pitch isnt easy to score, especially with pacers taking pace off their deliveries

Markram is a complete waste of space in any team

 

[neonoir]

Markram is very overrated he's slowly becoming the misbah 2.0 has big shots in his locker but rarely plays them

Adil Rashid is gem of a bowler. Brilliant stuff

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markram is a complete waste of space in any team

Wood is the key bowler for Saffers to score runs off...

David miller to my surprise has done well under pressure in this world Cup.

I know man but england do prioritise international cricket over that circus league but these south african cricketers are mercenaries.

that Curran guy is way too expensive.
Usko mein 50 rupay ka ni kharidu.LOL.He is such a useless player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is STubbs a power hitter?

Yes he is. But he can be a hit or miss

 

[Mainul]

Well well well...

Is SA choking again?

Every single top player are part of IPL. Adil Rashid is unlucky not to be picked by any franchise. He was so keen. It is way more professional than international T20 circus

It would be interesting to see some price to performance ratio in IPL. Some players goes for super cheap but performs extraordinarily well. I think the worst I have seen in IPL was this pacer called Unadkat going for over million dollars recently. He himself couldn't believe it.

 

[Croma]

Archer almost killed Stubbs with that bounder

Lol that's the mentality of Indian fans and players they consider that circus league over icc event that's why India hasn't won any T20wc since the beginning of that league.

IPL is ruining international cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is wimping at the end.

Those IPL auctions depend on luck as well.

If two team have money left and both need an Indian seamer... and if Unadkat is the only option left in the pool. He will go for a lot of money.

 

[Croma]

Cant believe Curran is still playing International cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

This world T20 is an example of non competitive international T20 is. You know who is going to win. Either OZ or England. Rest are participants.

Lol most expensive IPL player sam Curran.
What a useless player.

 

[Vikram1989]

Had a poor IPL too.

He never played any good innings in ipl atleast for srh .As a srh fan am sure of it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cant believe Curran is still playing International cricket

He was man of the series last world T20 lol That is how international T20 is

I think that was either Starc or Cummins.

Pathetic

ANd Outttttttttttttttt

Miller goes.

 

[Human786]

155/6

 

[RahulBose]

South Africa absolutely imploding from inside.

 

[BDfanforever]

Sam brother Tom used to be regular for England as well and he is 10x worse than Sam.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brilliant physical recovery by Archer

 

[AAli98]

Pitches have been **** icc should be ashamed.. soon the pig 3 will be playing triangler tournaments between them.

 

[Croma]

Sam Curran takes a spectacular catch..

6 down and Archer on a hattrick

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saffers choked when QDK got out

After the start they got it seemed like they'll get beyond 200.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Archer had made this England much more potent.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's a boundary

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is his home ground. Infact Phil salt grew up in Barbados

 

[Croma]

Wood dropped a catch and now has given a boundary.. add his bowling figures to all this and he has been terrible today

 

[BDfanforever]

Archer had made this England much more potent.

I would like to see England without Archer or Rashid and swapped with original ethnic English players and see how they perform.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Innings Break

South Africa 163/6 after 20 overs

 

[Human786]

Target 164 - any thrill left ?

 

[Croma]

Not impressed with Stubbs run a ball innings in death overs

 

[RahulBose]

160 is very competitive , considering the ground and pitch. It might be a close match in the end.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shouldn't be a total that England can't chase it's below par

164 to win

 

[Croma]

I dont there is any need to see second innings. This game is done and dusted.

I might return if game gets interesting...

 

[JaDed]

Lol USA should had won against Aussies dayum you jessy

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pace-off is the key in St.Lucia

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saffers will need to bowl a lot of slower ones and cutters to make a game out of this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would like to see England without Archer or Rashid and swapped with original ethnic English players and see how they perform.

Rashid is an UK born guy though. They have been poaching players for years. Not new. At the end of the day they have two world cups in the last 5 years. SL hasn't poached anybody. They have three ICC trophies

 

[Human786]

Miller thinks Saffers have enough ...

 

[cricketmania22]

IMO they are 15 runs below par.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

IMO they are 15 runs below par.

Yeah . 180 would have been par. South Africa should hope that this surface doesn't speed up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That flew to him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saffers will need to bowl a lot of slower ones and cutters to make a game out of

How is the pitch so far. Did it deteriorate as the game went on? I think England will go harder than usual in the PP if that is the case.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Short and pulled by Salt

Massive 6

Lovely shot picked it so quickly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I didn't watch the first half just gauged it how they must've fared.

It's the way to go this WC, go hard in the PP get above the rate and then put the bad balls away.
