South Africa v Bangladesh | T20 WC | Group A | Cape Town | 15/9/07

[iZeeshan]

Beautifully placed thru the covers by Shakib for ANOTHER 4! 73-4.

RR - 11.2

 

[iZeeshan]

That's bad. Can't yourselves out. Was it Kapali, I hope?

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh man its Shakib who has to go. Bangla in really big trouble now.

 

[iZeeshan]

Ahh.. they have missed the trick. Just missing now...

 

[Muhammad Saad]

man if only they can survive the full 20 overs we might have another upset here.

 

[iZeeshan]

Mashrafe finally connects and smashes it for 6!

 

[RumiNYC]

need to relax a bit here...still lotta over to play but not enuff batsman...so relax

 

[iZeeshan]

AND NOW connects again! ANOTHER 6! WOW! 5 misses and 2 sixes! 91-5!

 

[Bobaran]

They just need to maintain a rune rate of 8ish to post a decent total.


And mortaza just hit 2 sixes!

 

[12thMan]

2 sixes in a row by Murtaza
91-5 after 9 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Kapali doing the right thing, but a little too much of the right thing.

Mortaza is just in a killer mood right now.

 

[iZeeshan]

YAY! No ball! Kapali needs to move it a long still though...

 

[iZeeshan]

Excellent cover drive but only a single, and also brings Mortaza on strike for just one ball..

 

[azfar wali]

100 up for bangladesh

 

[iZeeshan]

Kapali with a play and miss. COME ON! Kapali just take a singleee!

 

[iZeeshan]

FOUR! Leg byes! AWSOME! 100 up!

 

[azfar wali]

Morataza gone

 

[Bobaran]

Half way done! 96/5 If we get a good partnership here, we'll be in a great position!

 

[iZeeshan]

Mortaza on strike. Lets see what he does now...

 

[iZeeshan]

WOW! AMazing catch, superb catch! Banga really in trouble now..

 

[iZeeshan]

Abdur Razzak the new batsman in. He can hit a few too.

 

[azfar wali]

101/6

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bangladesh's approach is comical stuff Just the kind of thing that makes the neutrals like them so much!

 

[iZeeshan]

101/6 in 11 overs. Kapali peeves me off so much!

 

[Bobaran]

Uh oh, well they can still post a decent total, because i'm sure some of their bowlers can slog it out..

 

[Bobaran]

101/6 in 11 overs. Kapali peeves me off so much!

Yeah, he should atleast be trying to hit a bit...

 

[iZeeshan]

That was an easy catch. AB Dev is a good fielder too!

 

[iZeeshan]

In this flat deck, SAF will easily chase this.

 

[iZeeshan]

No runs coming this over. Should get at least 160 to even try and defend.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just two runs off it. 8 overs to go. Come on get 160!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Only 1 off this one. At least the game was incredibly entertaining...

 

[infamous9383]

surprised that the WK Rahim didn't bat before abdur razzak

 

[Obeid]

Bangladesh struggling now...loss of wickets killed them. JA Morkel and Philander bowling pretty well.

 

[12thMan]

last 25 balls 12 runs
Ban 108-6 after 14 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Just 6 overs left. I think tehy should just hit out now.

 

[Bobaran]

Farhad Reza SIX

 

[Oxy]

Aloo Palak OUT!

119-7 off 15.3

 

[Bobaran]

Four overs left, 120/7

 

[iZeeshan]

JUST HIT OUT NOW! You have 3 wickets in hand!

 

[iZeeshan]

Skies it real high in no mans land. 2 runs. 125/7 3 overs to go.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hits a huge six then out next ball! Better then nothing thouhg...

 

[Bobaran]

We just need like 12 runs an over for 160 runs, 15 runs an over for 170 runs, and 18 runs for 180.

Reza hits a six!

 

[iZeeshan]

Maybe they'll get lucky and hit like 30 runs in the next 2 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Huge slog, doesn't connect.

 

[Oxy]

134-9 off 18.3

 

[iZeeshan]

That was a huge shot! I thought it was 6 for sure..!

 

[iZeeshan]

They won't win this but really entertained us in the first 6-7 overs. Good approach though.

 

[iZeeshan]

Last over up, 138/9. Can they get 150?

 

[iZeeshan]

Cheekily hit thru 3rd man for 4. COME ON GET A SIXXXXXXXXXXX!

 

[Bobaran]

They need 20 of the last 5 balls!

 

[iZeeshan]

144 all out after a wonderful start. Good entertainment though on a Saturday afternoon. Lets hope Greame and AB Dev try and finish it off quickly so we get more entertainment. Or open with Kemponita.

 

[Bobaran]

Their total is 144, a decent effort.

 

[Bobaran]

They won't win this but really entertained us in the first 6-7 overs. Good approach though.

Naa, don't rule them out just yet, who knows they might get a couple early wickets.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good start so far by Bangladesh. 5/0 from 1.3 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, good over from Rasel. ONly 4 off it. 9/0 Saf from 2 overs.

 

[12thMan]

SA 18-0 after 3
Bang was 39-3

 

[12thMan]

Duminy out LBW Razzak
SA 66-1 after 9 - need 79 off 66 balls

 

[12thMan]

this is so dumb ... Morkel gets to 30 and they put it on the screen "congrats Morkel on achieving your highest score in Twenty20. Previous best 27 against India"
SA 110-2 after 14.1 over - need 35 from 35 balls

 

[12thMan]

SA 146-3 after 18.5 overs - wins by 7 wickets

Nasser Hussain like this Bangladeshi side. Even called Aftab and Ashraful as the most talented batsman in Asia.

Morkel MOM with 2 wickets and 41 runs

Super 8s start tomorrow with NZ-Ind at 9:00 am GMT
