South Africa beat Pakistan by 13 runs (DLS method) in the third ODI to take 2-1 series lead

[Gotham Cronie]

Thats what i was referring but not sure its the updated one.

It doesn't according to the broadcast and Cricinfo.

They're both saying par score after 20 overs is 115/2.

This calculator has it at 104/2.

going by the calculator , SAF will win this .

 

[Pakhs]

Here comes the rain now

 

[Asif321]

Rain here to spoil Pakistan party again
Happen in Dubai against kiws

 

[MMHS]

That 2nd wicket has brought DWL in PAK's favor. But, it has to be 20 overs at least for a result. I think we'll see more cricket here.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Another match where rain costs us a win

 

[Green Patriot]

Rain not favouring us.

 

[Something]

Shadab and Imad were doing so well

 

[Pakhs]

I dont think the rain will stop any time soon.

 

[imshally81]

As per cricinfo.. 116 runs is a par score after 20 overs...

 

[shah_1]

Please rain go away

No way they are chasing this if 50 overs are played here

 

[bantu]

No rain was forecast ... So it might quickly pass over and we might a reduced game later... that won’t be in favour of SA ..

 

[m.shah]

Itz raining heavily. Advantage Africa

 

[Deewana Mastana]

At least a good 45mins to an hour will go here to rain.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wats the radar saying

 

[Ahmed216]

Very disappointing. This game was ours with balls getting old.
Even if the game starts it going to be very difficult with a wet outfield.
Wet ball skids on to the bat.

 

[imshally81]

Rain will stop soon..

 

[Hbomb00]

If sarfraz had slip during imad bowling....

 

[zain7077]

How do u know?

 

[rhony]

Advantage Pakistan. All they need is 3.1 overs to get a result and restrict SA from scoring 28 runs in those overs. If they lose another wicket, RRR will be even steeper

 

[Hbomb00]

DLS par score will be 115 for two wickets down at the end of 20 overs. according to cricbuzz

 

[zain7077]

Rain will stop soon..

How do u know?

 

[a_tahir]

Advantage Pakistan. All they need is 3.1 overs to get a result and restrict SA from scoring 28 runs in those overs

Don't think SA will even try to score 28 off those 3.1 overs.
I just wish we get 20 overs in

 

[Hbomb00]

Advantage Pakistan. All they need is 3.1 overs to get a result and restrict SA from scoring 28 runs in those overs. If they lose another wicket, RRR will be even steeper

so u think they can defend 28 in 19 balls?

 

[rhony]

so u think they can defend 28 in 19 balls?

Both batsman are new to the crease. It's not easy.

 

[rhony]

Don't think SA will even try to score 28 off those 3.1 overs.
I just wish we get 20 overs in

If they don't score 28, they will lose once 20 overs are completed

 

[Gotham Cronie]

so u think they can defend 28 in 19 balls?

With South Africa having 0 wickets in hand, yes.

 

[a_tahir]

If they don't score 28, they will lose once 20 overs are completed

Yeah but if we continue play, more likely than not we'll play more than 25 overs.
So what if they try get those 28 runs and lose further wickets?
They'll just dig themselves a bigger hole

 

[Oligochaetes]

so u think they can defend 28 in 19 balls?

They can't afford to lose a wicket too..dont forget that

 

[TalhaSyed]

Someone please make it stop.....

What are the chances of being screwed out of an ODI win thanks to rain first in the Middle East and then in Africa!

 

[Something]

The rain has stopped apparently

 

[Green Patriot]

Couldn't this have happened in the 2nd Odi when they were 80-5 or something

 

[Madplayer]

If match starts again, this pitch will start turning square. Pakistan should bowl Hafeez and Malik here too.

 

[Mueez]

Couldn't this have happened in the 2nd Odi when they were 80-5 or something

Haha true bro, we would have been 2-0 up then.

 

[QuickCrick]

Any updates on if/when play will resume?

Moisture??

[MMHS]

It doesn't work that way. After a restart, SAF will be given a target without the condition of wicket lost at the end. So, if it indeed is for just 3'1 overs, target will be set regardless of how many wickets lost at the end - SAF will need to reach there.

Wicket calculation comes only if the game is stopped at a point after 20 overs and doesn't restart. Say, today after 25'6 overs DWL per is 130/2, or 144/3, or 162/4 - if it doesn't restart after that game will be settled there based on SAF's score. But, if it restarts for say 12 overs and SAF's target is set 234 in 38 overs, then there is no wicket condition here.

If they bring the game for 3'1 overs, I am sure target will be more than 28, but SAF will be massive favorite, with 8 wickets in hand, and it's a like T10 scenario, where we have seen 125 chased in 10 overs. .

 

[m.shah]

You think or you have any info about rain?

 

[Mueez]

The revised DLS targets are:

20 overs - 141 runs
30 overs - 224 runs
40 overs - 278 runs

20 overs target will be 141

 

[Madplayer]

Moisture??

A lot of times the pitch deteriorates under covers when it rains. Becomes damp and offers a lot of turn.

 

[shah_1]

The revised DLS targets are:

20 overs - 141 runs
30 overs - 224 runs
40 overs - 278 runs

20 overs target would be nice lol

 

[Adijazz1706]

No way they get to 141 if only 20 overs are given

 

[Something]

No way they get to 141 if only 20 overs are given

well, 60 runs in 3 overs is impossible

 

[Hbomb00]

The covers are off and the umpires are out in the middle inspecting. according to cricbuzz

 

[MMHS]

20 overs target will be 141

That's 53 of 19 - this makes tough, but PAK won't be able to use any bowler over 5 overs.

 

[Something]

The covers are off and the umpires are out in the middle inspecting.

 

[Mp812]

The approx revised targets as per DLS calculator website are

if 2 wkts
20 overs - 121 runs to win
25 overs - 160 runs to win
30 overs - 182 runs to win
35 overs - 221 runs to win
40 overs - 260 runs to win

for every wkt to fall add 9 runs apporximately to target

 

[shah_1]

That's 53 of 19 - this makes tough, but PAK won't be able to use any bowler over 5 overs.

Hasan Ali will bowl two overs if this happens

 

[Madplayer]

Is it starting anytime soon?

 

[a_tahir]

No offence but you should write what the cricket info websites are saying instead of trying to calculate it yourself.

Imad Wasims contribution here so far in this match has exceeded Fahim Ashraf's contribution in his entire career.

I understand that. I'm just saying all Pak needs is the rain to go away for 3.1 overs. So there is a chance for a result instead of a washed away game

 

[Hamad_H]

No overs have been lost. Yesssss

 

[Madplayer]

No overs have been lost. Yesssss

How many minutes before it starts?

 

[Hbomb00]

No overs have been lost. Yesssss

really? where you got that info

 

[rhony]

The revised DLS targets are:

20 overs - 141 runs
30 overs - 224 runs
40 overs - 278 runs

This makes sense. The RRR should be higher than the original RRR for lesser no. Of overs

 

[iPakistani]

Play begins in 10 minutes. No overs lost.

 

[asadee]

Cricinfo commentary puts all this bakwaas but hardly updates you on the match situation

 

[ARK Rafay]

That isn't called a commentary imo

 

[jewel1985]

141 off 20 overs is ridiculous.

How are they meant to get 53 off only 19 balls, without losing a wicket? It's almost impossible.

I thought DL was supposed to favour the batting side.

It's supposed to be balanced

It's final target - they can loose as many wickets, once the target is set. SAF probably would like to face a target around 40 overs mark, which gives them nice balance between asking and wickets at hand.

No chance to win if that is the case.

 

[imshally81]

No over lost... Just great

 

[shah_1]

What are the chances of raining again?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

As we'd hoped, the wind has swept the storm past the ground. I've not heard about overs lost just yet, but South Africa will be chasing a revised target: 141 in 20 overs, 224 in 30 overs, 253 in 35 overs, 278 in 40 overs, 299 in 45 overs...

Most likely 253 in 35 overs... as lost around 1 hour and thats 13 overs

 

[imshally81]

What are the chances of raining again?

Very few..
