South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Cape Town | 24-11-2013 | South Africa Innings

[TalhaSyed]

Anwar Ali & Bilawal Bhatti have managed to push Pakistan up to a respectful totoal!

The two had a fearless approach at the crease and it paid off as they managed to lift the Pakistani side to a respectable totoal.

South Africa need 219 to win in 50 overs.

Will it be enough?

 

[imshally81]

Good Fighting Total

 

[Executioner]

218 is enough IMO

But Pakistan must bowl and field well. The opposition have some quality batsman

 

[Square Drive]

Mazher Arshad gives this foreboding statistic for Pakistan: Three times Pakistan have batted first in ODIs at Cape Town before and the scores were: 43 all out, 114 all out, 107 all out.

Shows that this is a fantastic score!

 

[saiyan0312]

well 220 to chase... can we defend it.

 

[cricket.mad]

sa will win it

 

[EarthBoltX]

I would think it's not enough, unfortunately.
de Kock and Amla are bad enough. But there's Smith and Kallis to contend with too.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I would think it's not enough, unfortunately.
de Kock and Amla are bad enough. But there's Smith and Kallis to contend with too.

And de Villiers.

Miller's no mug with the bat either.

Put Duminy in the picture and they have a useful team.

 

[imshally81]

sa will win it

and WI too

 

[London_Lahori]

It's given us a chance.

Let's hope that partnership gives us the psychological edge going into the start of the next innings.

 

[London_Lahori]

Also, I hope it gives Anwar Ali a boost that he goes on to use in his bowling.

 

[90MPH]

SA still favourites.

It's a slow wicket, 250 would have been a good score. They don't have to take too many risks chasing this score.

It will all be down to getting early wickets.

 

[steelo green]

We will lose but at least there was some fight at the end.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan are favourites here. sa have been terrible in the field today

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I don't see South Africa winning this, the bowling that Pakistan has and i have a feeling Anwar will trouble Smith

 

[offcutter]

We tend to win when defending these kinds of tricky totals. Saffers will be overconfident. A few tight spells and wickets in the middle from Afridi and Ajmal and the pressure will be on.

 

[Asif321]

Hoping Anwar bowls well or else we will be stuck with Razzaq and Tanvir

 

[hadi123]

if we can get 2-3 wickets in the first 10 overs and keep their rr to around 3 then the pressure will be on South Africa. I still think SA are too good a side to lose though

 

[Haroon786]

Can't ask for more than 100% from them, if they do that than no one should be disappointed.

 

[steelo green]

Mark my words, Afridi will be key in us losing this match

 

[London_Lahori]

SA have a strong front 6.

They also have a long tail of 5 batsman.

The tail is Miller, Steyn, Morkel, Philander and Tahir.

A couple of quick wickets and we are well in this game.

 

[Batman]

Will be tough, SA looks favorites to me.

 

[London_Lahori]

Hoping Anwar bowls well or else we will be stuck with Razzaq and Tanvir

Sad but true.

 

[akamaka]

Mark my words, Afridi will be key in us losing this match

?

 

[Asif321]

Billawal and Anwar getting their Caps

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to get out

 

[EarthBoltX]

?

I guess he'll concede 60 in 10 overs without taking a wicket.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Junaid bowling to Smith as the SA innings gets underway

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

started well 141 kph
I like the aggression

come on boyzzz

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[Iffitheking]

Poor Poor bowling

 

[Sam18696]

 

[London_Lahori]

Who's going to open, Bhatti or anwar?

 

[Lords]

Not enough score on the board. Atleast it is something to fight for but under 250 par score days are over.

Look at the batting line up. Smith, kock, amla, abcd, dumney. Too many class players. 219 is not enough. But pakistan wont feel too bad if they lose this match, the first innings was paisa wasool for fans.

 

[saiyan0312]

 

[Executioner]

Just checked SA' batting

Amla
Kockwala
Smith
ABCD
Duminy
Miller

now thats a batting lineup which is as strong, if not stronger than that of India well atleast in these conditions

 

[Sam18696]

out hojao

 

[London_Lahori]

Post concussion syndrome for Smith in UAE.

Give him some bouncers please.

 

[Sam18696]

6-0

Bring in bilawal

 

[Executioner]

Faeez: "Strange new tactics by Pakistan sending the tail early and the actual batsmen at no.8 and no.9."

) )

 

[London_Lahori]

Just checked SA' batting

Amla
Kockwala
Smith
ABCD
Duminy
Miller

now thats a batting lineup which is as strong, if not stronger than that of India well atleast in these conditions

Miller? what a hack

 

[saiyan0312]

smith just needs 18 runs to reach 7000 ODI runs.

 

[London_Lahori]

Anwar to open

 

[London_Lahori]

Come on boy lets get some swing here.

 

[saiyan0312]

who will open with him. bhatti or anwar.

 

[London_Lahori]

Wide first up.

 

[imshally81]

oh.. no wide

 

[saiyan0312]

anwar to bowl.

 

[London_Lahori]

The Pakistan fielders are in loud voice

 

[imshally81]

Good Fielding....

 

[London_Lahori]

Well fielded shehzad saved a run!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Good fielding by :ahmed why can't he bat like he fields, fast boom boom

 

[Nuekboi]

Fielded by Shehzad

 

[imshally81]

Feel Sorry for Anwar Ali... but he has to go

 

[saiyan0312]

wide and 3 runs... come on anwar find the right line and length.

 

[London_Lahori]

The ball showing signs of keeping low here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Anwar going to get Smith

good line to Smith

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon early breakthrough.

 

[London_Lahori]

Anwar bowling well at smith here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Feel Sorry for Anwar Ali... but he has to go

Just bowled two balls and you already made your decision

give the kid a break

 

[imshally81]

Smith in hurry

 

[London_Lahori]

Good line and length boy, don't move it from there.

 

[Sunny786]

Feel Sorry for Anwar Ali... but he has to go

After watching him bowl 3 balls?

 

[Executioner]

Miller? what a hack

hack perhaps

But for someone batting at no. 7 when some quick runs is needed is more than useful

 

[Indiafan]

Feel Sorry for Anwar Ali... but he has to go

Based on one ball which went for 3 runs?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get him out man!

 

[London_Lahori]

The seam position for some of the Pakistan bowlers is a worry.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good over after a horrid start

 

[Nuekboi]

If we don't pick up atleast 3 in the first 15 we will lose

 

[Executioner]

First 10 over is vital

The pitch gets flat as the day progresses. Amla and Smith needs to be dismissed Asap

 

[imshally81]

 

[London_Lahori]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

bowled him

Come on Pakistan

 

[London_Lahori]

JK gets Amla!

 

[Square Drive]

BOWLED 'im!!!!! JUNI YOU CHAMP!

 

[London_Lahori]

Bowled leg stump, big wicket!

 

[Nuekboi]

Junaid you beauty! Love hearing that shout!

 

[Lords]

How many times Amla has been bowled in recent history

 

[London_Lahori]

Two left handers in now will help big time.
