South Africa [325/6] beat Australia [315] by 10 runs in the final group stage match of WC2019

[jnaveen1980]

Nervous De kock gone now. A 50. Brilliant run out. Brilliant catch now. Match winning stuff.

 

[Leeon1994]

What a catch by De Kock... He's having an unbelievable day behind the stumps!

Yeah first that cool run out without looking at the stumps and now this. Good stuff but I wish it arrived sooner.

 

[dravidthewall]

South Africa doing India a big favour here.......

Hasan newzealand or england ..india will beat both of them.They are in red hot form

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

True - having a good SA would have been awesome for the WC.

De kock is Mumbai Indian team member. Helping out his buddies Bumrah, Pandya, Rohit Sharma

 

[Hasan123]

Weakest South African team beats Australia more than likely, if not they will run them close. Also run India and NZ close. Yet we are told South African cricket is finished!!!!!!

 

[Napa]

QDK's no-look backhanded flick was unreal.

Next an athletic one handed grab to get rid of Maxwell.

QDK in line for a 5-year IPL contract

Batted first in all 3 games, still lost 2/3 games.

We know how important batting first has been in this WC.

Rabada will get citizenship in Delhi.

Still ran them close. We are told South African cricket is finished. Clearly isn't.

Don't see South Africa being this bad in 2023. South Africa have a strong system. They will be back. A transitional period awaits.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Looks like the Indians would go on the top !!!!!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow.. SA has such a wide range of bowling option today.

Duminy, Tahir, Shamsi, Phelu, Rabada, Morris, Pretorious Why didn't they come up with a line up like this? Covering all the bases.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't see South Africa being this bad in 2023. South Africa have a strong system. They will be back. A transitional period awaits.

They have finally got their combo right lol Alas this is their last match. Story of SA this world cup.

 

[uncanny]

Can I bet my money on India to win against NZ?
So many posts, seems like it's guaranteed

Any team can win the WC out of four semi finalists. It's all about who handles the pressure. Past is past

 

[Hasan123]

Tahir has 5 overs left. Can bowl JP and Markham a few overs due to 2 lefties. Shamsi has overs left. Don't see Australia winning from here.

 

[Hasan123]

Yes . Also carrying players like Amla and JP didn't help.

Avoiding India in the Semi might be just the tonic ... If that happens I declare it G & T O’clock ... #CWC19

 

[bluevision]

I wonder what the future holds for SA. Hope they sort out the politics, cricket needs them badly. Not saying that the colored players are mediocre, but need to stop the poaching of white players by other countries.

Depends on the conditions. Hot day with a slightly dry wicket - I think India holds the aces. On current batting form only Willamson is a threat - although Munro, Taylor and de Grand Homme usually do well vs India.

If it is overcast Boult usually shows up vs India. Also depends on whether Lockie Ferguson is fit again.

 

[BDfanforever]

So team that has won a toss is winning again?

 

[Hasan123]

South Africa and Australia have a rivalry. I'm sure South Africa will be glad to hinder Australia's chances of winning the WC.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA must be regretting for choosing to field first in the inaugural match against ENgland.

 

[Hasan123]

Australia have never lost a WC semi final. Amazing.

 

[Hasan123]

SA must be regretting for choosing to field first in the inaugural match against ENgland.

Had they got anything over 270, that would have been a close game.

 

[BDfanforever]

Australia is done. They missed an easy chance of facing NZ in semi.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Had they got anything over 270, that would have been a close game.

Whole dynamics would have changed. Seriously much better side than they showed. They need some mental conditioning coach. May be they can hire DHoni lol Two birds with one stone.

 

[Hasan123]

Shamsi is bowling excellently to Warner. Should put a slip in.

 

[Hasan123]

Warner is what is stopping India from facing NZ.

 

[Leeon1994]

Warner playing that shot better than most right handers

 

[Sin Nombre]

Luck is with Warner today. Australia not out of it yet.

 

[Leeon1994]

Carey with those two beautiful shots if he stays till the last overs it is good news for Aus

 

[Leeon1994]

Sitter dropped by Imran Tahir, Carey survives.

 

[sweep_shot]

Will be disappointing if Aussies can't win this.

 

[rhony]

Aussies should win from here. One of these two has to stay till the end though. Amazing chase

 

[rhony]

Aussies have the same middle order problem as India. Stoinis and Maxi have been duds.

 

[rhony]

Morris' quota is done. Now phehlukwayo will be the target

 

[sweep_shot]

Come on, Aussies. I want you to lift the trophy. Don't mess this chase up.

 

[Leeon1994]

Warner is fit enough to get his elbow out of the way. Carey had hit that really hard.

 

[Leeon1994]

16 runs from that over Aus is on the way to win this hopefully.

 

[bluevision]

Oh.. we're playing the English then

 

[sweep_shot]

111 needed from 78 balls. 5 wickets in hand (assuming Khawaja will not bat).

 

[Ab Fan]

Oh, Aussies might just chase this!

 

[JaDed]

Damnit SAFFERs, unable to
Close this

 

[Usman Chadda]

Warner is an unreal beast.

 

[Leeon1994]

Will Warner score 150+ today?

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 99 runs with 6 wickets and 11.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

warner gone

 

[MenInG]

Warner gone!

This could turn the game

 

[Ram Shekhar]

What a catch! Potential world cup changing moment!

 

[IAJ]

Carey is their last hope now

 

[Ram Shekhar]

With this form of Warner, England would be scared to face Australia in the semis..

 

[farazaidi]

so its England vs India in the final then.

 

[Leeon1994]

Morris with that brilliant dive just caught the match and turned it towards SA again.

 

[Roaring40s]

Pretorius proving the race based selection theory wrong.

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Unreal catch. Where was this SA all this while?

 

[Mueez]

This catch could be the turning point of the WC.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA on top here .

 

[xbronze]

What a catch! Potential world cup changing moment!

Yup. India to meet NZ in Semis. Aus v Eng.

 

[Leeon1994]

Du Plessis with an entirely different and successful captaincy today uptill now.

 

[Smbhayi]

Warner is in beast form but he also consume lot of dot balls.. 50+ today..

 

[bluevision]

I want to see the Tahir celebration. One last time. Bring it on....

 

[Justcrazy]

No team wants to face England in semi final

 

[Ram Shekhar]

This guy Carey is a great player in the making. Reminds me of Bevan and Hussey. Ah those torrid memories!

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Just noticed ,andile phehlukwayo is 23 years ..

No way guy is 23 seems like early 30s..brother of afridi?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

No team wants to face England in semi final

England's match is at Edgbaston on a fresh wicket with a short boundary. Australia and India don't have any hope against their power hitters. Best bet is to play them at Lord's!

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need some big shots here , required rate will go up quickly from here

 

[watchman99]

Australia can chase this if no more wickets fall

 

[Justcrazy]

England's match is at Edgbaston on a fresh wicket with a short boundary. Australia and India don't have any hope against their power hitters. Best bet is to play them at Lord's!

England is not invincible , but they do create fear with the kind of hitters they have.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Australia's resilience at full show here.. what a team!

 

[Leeon1994]

Carey bringing back Aus in again. This is getting exciting.

 

[Ab Fan]

Carey has been the wkt-keeper batsmen of this tournament for me.

 

[Leeon1994]

Carey might be playing one of the best innings of this world cup.

 

[ManFan]

Carey is a murder-rah!

 

[Gilly]

No team wants to face England in semi final

Australia wouldent be worried.

England would only win if Australia didnt play well.

 

[farazaidi]

Carey should be really batting ahead of Maxwell and Stoinis. The latter two have been absolute waste and only create pressure by getting out cheaply

 

[ManFan]

It has been said time and time again and it once again proves to be true.

The reason why Australia are the most successful team in history is because they never give up until the last ball is bowled.

 

[Ab Fan]

Any chance of Khwaja coming to bat again?

 

[ManFan]

Australia wouldent be worried.

England would only win if Australia didnt play well.

England will choke like no tomorrow.

Aussies are too tough mentally while England hasn’t played in a WC SF since 1992.

 

[MRSN]

This is why wk batsman should be good batsmen as well. On the other hand we ahave such a dud and keeps getting away without any performance
