U-19 2nd Semi Final | Kuala Lumpur |Pakistan Vs. S.Africa|29-02-2008

[Raz]

Hopefully it rains and only 8 overs more are possible.

29 runs off 8 overs should be reachable

Yup, it would be a cakewalk even for your bits and pieces batting

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Hopefully it rains and only 8 overs more are possible.

29 runs off 8 overs should be reachable

I hope that too ,but it is unlikely.

 

[Hash]

covers are off

47 over game. We need 389 to win.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

huh?

 

[FAM]

The target for Pakistan is 252 in 47 overs.

 

[sehban]

it got more difficult for pak although the damp outfield may help pak batsmen but the mositure might cause the ball to swing more

 

[Amjid Javed]

Why have overs been reduced when there is a reserve day tmoz.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

191 req off 35 overs.

 

[pak4life]

why are both teams in similar green

 

[Hash]

Fantastic insight from the commentator

'Pakistan need to try and get to the target'

Really? wow!

 

[sehban]

lol...a really fantastic insight nobody knew this

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

must be mr.fernando

 

[Hash]

must be mr.fernando

yes, it was him.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Runs drying up here, just hope we dont lose a wkt!

 

[iZeeshan]

Such a tight position for Pakistan! We have to win this guys!

 

[iZeeshan]

Four! Brilliant shot. Pak 71/2.

 

[sehban]

very slow going after the break we have make sure that we are ahead of duckworth lewis by the 20th over

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

very slow going after the break we have make sure that we are ahead of duckworth lewis by the 20th over

yeah we need to another 80 i think.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan Under-19s 72/2

Run rate req up to 6

 

[Amjid Javed]

One of these two will need to score a hundred here or even both!

 

[Mercenary]

Ahmed Shahzad is such a confident batsman, really hitting the ball from the middle of the bat today

 

[sehban]

run rate should not be a problem till we have wickets in hand...the only problem pak faces right now is that after 20 overs we have to make sure we are ahead because rain can come anytime and destroy the game for us....
hopefully it will stay away

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

we need to be 90/2 after 20 overs.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

How many overs have gone and what is the latest score?

 

[sehban]

83/2 18.2

 

[Mercenary]

85/2 off 21.4 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

looks like pakistan will get to 89/2 needed after 20 overs

People start your rain dances!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

83/2 18.2

85/2 off 21.4 overs

Hmmm

So they scored 2 runs off 14 deliveries?

 

[sehban]

its 86/2 18.5 not 21.4

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yes its raining again!

 

[MaVeRiCk]

mercenarys finally got summink wrong.lol

 

[vandermadaveg]

CricInfo saying Pakistan should be 91 at the end of 20 overs. Can anyone tell me DW here?

 

[Amjid Javed]

The umpires are coming together and they are calling for the covers. Rain has stopped play. Pakistan should be 91 for 2 at the end of 20 overs.

so 5 runs needed off 7 balls

 

[Mercenary]

Hmmm

So they scored 2 runs off 14 deliveries?

typo

mercenarys finally got summink wrong.lol

early mornings dont agree with me

 

[FAM]

But one wicket can change the equation...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well if we need 5 off 7 balls lets hope we dont lose our heads!

 

[Waseem]

We can't afford to lose wicket though, Shehzad is extremely good when he plays normal but he is currently being disturbed by back problem and Duckworth Lewis.

Let's hope this rain goes away and we can finish the job off.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Very tight match ,I hope that I didnt have a class in next 45 min.

 

[Hash]

The more overs that are taken off the better it will be for us, I guess.

 

[Hash]

cricinfo have decided that they are not going to bother updating us on the weather situation and PTV have been showing adverts for the last 20 minutes.

Anyone watching on sky? What's going on?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Am i right in thinking if we get another 1.1 overs today and it rains then one or other side will be declared a winner?

 

[Hash]

Am i right in thinking if we get another 1.1 overs today and it rains then one or other side will be declared a winner?

yes, you are.

If we are unable to get 20 overs in then they come back tomorrow at 10am (Malaysian Standard Time) and continue from where the game left off. i.e. If no more play now then we would come back tomorrow needing 166 runs from 28.1 overs.

However if we get 20 overs or more in, then whoever is ahead on Duckworth Lewis goes into the final.

 

[saffer]

ha ha ha ha

s.a losing on behalf of rain is standard script for semi finals...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets get out in the rain and play 1.1 overs then!!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yes, you are.

If we are unable to get 20 overs in then they come back tomorrow at 10am (Malaysian Standard Time) and continue from where the game left off. i.e. If no more play now then we would come back tomorrow needing 166 runs from 28.1 overs.

However if we get 20 overs or more in, then whoever is ahead on Duckworth Lewis goes into the final.

why 10 am?
This was a D/N match so wouldn't be unfair to come back at 10 am instead of 1 pm

 

[Hash]

why 10 am?

yes, that's quite silly.

 

[saffer]

Not really...i'm sure pakistan would prefer to bat in daylight ....as S.A did....

day night has nothing to do with fairness...it's got to do with tickets...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yes, that's quite silly.

(ICC +silly)= norm

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SA batted at 1 pm(time when swing dies down)

 

[Hash]

21:20local time: It is still raining and It is highly unlikely that there will be any more play today.

I guess we are coming back tomorrow

 

[SameerM]

day/night games are unfair then?

how can day/nighters be a fair contest? waste of time and energy!

 

[saffer]

SA batted at 1 pm(time when swing dies down)

true ....maaaaaaaybe....depends on conditions , and venue..

Or doesn't the swing die down this time because the ball gets older ???

 

[J-Essence]

what happens if it rains all day?

 

[saffer]

what happens if it rains all day?

it comes down to has has the coolest supporter....and then S.a go through...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

ok the game has been called off!

I just realized that i will miss the match due to work commitments!

 

[moiez_no1]

21:30 local time: The umpires have called off play for today. Please do join me (Binoy George) again tomorrow at 10:00 am local time for the resumption. Until then it is bye from all of us here at Cricinfo.

 

[W63L35]

ok the game has been called off!

I just realized that i will miss the match due to work commitments!

Friday late evening - work commitments?

 

[saffer]

166 of 28 required tomorrow....tough ask .

 

[W63L35]

166 of 28 required tomorrow....tough ask .

SAF's turn to get lucky this time...........7 more balls, and it would have been over for them. I'll be putting my money on SAfers!

 

[Hash]

166 off 28 with 8 wickets in hand.

I'd put us as marginal favourites.

 

[161]

so they chopped off 3 overs and reduced the target by 9 runs only ?

hows that make sense ?

Duckworth Lewis has a habit of doing strange things but it is the best known system at the moment.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Yes

 

[161]

if there is a full days play available tomorrow why shorten our innings to 47 overs ??

 

[Toony™®]

considering their best bowler Parnell has maximum 1 over left.. i think we'll be okay.

ICC

 

[Xoib]

Good to know but I think their slow bowlers will be the key.

 

[pakcricketfan]

I hate it when the rain interrupts matches and duckworth lewis pops in!!
There were only 7 or 8 balls left to complete 20 overs and Pak required 5 more runs....
I wish the rain had come 7 balls later!!!

Ahmed Shehzad is playing good... n he must have made the record of getting hurt/injured most no. of times in a match!!

 

[Rudi hater]

What time the match starts "UK time"?

 

[Boi]

What time the match starts "UK time"?

2 am

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

2 am

oh GOd means 3 am german time arrghhh these timings suck

look at the other side , if we lost a wicket in those 7 or 8 balls , those 5 runs would become 25

 

[Iqbal'sh]

2 am

That's 10am local time. Why is it starting at the earlier time, when this was SUPPOSED to be a D/N game and play started at 14:00 local time on the first day?

Not sure if it will be a factor but the earlier start is only likely to favour one team.

 

[sehban]

hopefully when i wake up tomorrow pak will be in the final Inshallah

 

[Muhammad Saad]

hopefully when i wake up tomorrow pak will be in the final Inshallah

Inshallah.

 

[Iqbal'sh]

hopefully when i wake up tomorrow pak will be in the final Inshallah

Are Geo not broadcasting the second day? With it being weekend which = holiday for me, I'm tempted to stay up and watch.

Can anyone confirm?

 

[Saj]

That indeed was the question I was about to ask. If you have a spare day, then why reduce the number of allocated overs - bizarre

 

[FAM]

Inshallah. BUT then they better win the final too. I can't take another final loss against India. =/

 

[Mohsin]

Inshallah. BUT then they better win the final too. I can't take another final loss against India. =/

Believe me, the confidence they'll get if they win this one will be sky-high!!!
But lets hope we do the job tomorrow!

 

[Iqbal'sh]

That indeed was the question I was about to ask. If you have a spare day, then why reduce the number of allocated overs - bizarre

Yes it's a bizarre rule but they try to fit the game into one day, so reducing the overs, using Duckworth-Lewis, 20 overs played by both sides constituting a game etc

They don't want a repeat of the ICC Champions Trophy Final 2002
