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

Forcast seemed to have been the same for today as well, so the rain probably comes in the evening.
Oh well lets hope we can get the 1.1 overs left tomorrow, get ahead of DL and then it starts absolutely pouring! ;-)
 
What is Shan Masood doing in the starting lineup he has scored 4 runs in 5 innings so far and his overall uner 19 career has been pathetic as well. He is also close to 19 so its not like he is being groomed for the future under 19 teams.

Net run rate calculations i think!!!

Must be. Same thing happened in the OZ v Bangladesh plate match. It was a wash-out (they didn’t have a reserve day), so OZ won because they had a superior run-rate throughout the tournament to that of Bangladesh.
 
Wow. Why shorten the game? Anyhoo, this is a pretty tight situation for Pakistan. The batsmen are usually not used to this, but Ahmed Shahzad has coped brilliantly so far with Umar Amin giving great support. One of these needs to keep going, and we'll need another Ali Asad heroic. Umar Akmal has been pretty disappointing this game, and the bowling misfired at the worst time (or maybe its just the quality of South Africa's batting).

Btw, are there any links online? I'm in US, and I don't get Geo. Though I do have a link to Geo (mideast or pakistani I think), but its not very realiable.

Also what time does it start, US time?
 
they probably are but i live in dubai so match will start at 6 in the moring and i have midterms going on so i cant wake up so early after studying all night
 
Hopefully we can get to the 20th over and pass 91 for 2 and then it can rain for 10 hours for all i care!
 
They shorten the game because there was a rain break in the 13th over so when the players came back the target was reduced to 252 off 47 overs. So from the 13th to the 18th over the players played the game thinking that it was a 47 over match so now even though there is still an entire day to go it will be a touch unfair to bump it up to 50.

Another poster mentioned run rate of previous matches was used, not sure if this will be the case in this match but SA losing a match must surely make a difference compared to Pakistan's 100% record so far.

I don't think they can judge a game unless both sides have played 20 overs each.
 
First 5-6 overs are key; if both batsmen can get their eye in again, they can set the platform for the run chase. That way the likes of Ali Asad, Usman Salahuddin, and others can play with freedom.
 
Inshallah Pak will win but if they do the worrying thing is Pak team will be quite tired not as much physically but mentally.
I hope they will be to bring their A game against India. I'd rather have them lose now then to India in the Finals.
 
Cant wait to see Pakistan in action......only 35 mins to go!

Yaar I went with PP's countdown and it says 12 minutes left at the moment :20:

Is it starting 9:00 PM EST???
 
if there is a full days play available tomorrow why shorten our innings to 47 overs ??

Because what if pakistan lost wickets trying to catch up to DW score ? You have to keep the target the original one the chasing team was aiming at ...
 
Been raining since yesterday and it's still pouring at the moment. No play for at least an hour or 2.


1.1 overs needed to complete the match!
 
Here's the latest from Cricinfo:


9:50 local time: We have some bad news, it has been raining since yesterday night. It is pouring down at the moment. According to the groundsman if the rain stopped, ground would be ready in 1 hour. They only need 1.1 over to get a result. We might be here the whole day. Lot of time left, the cut off time is 18:15 local time.

South Africa are ahead on net run rates and if there is no play today then South Africa go through to the finals but there is lot of time left. The umpires will start reducing the overs in 2 hours time.
 
uh oh

please let there be 20 overs

i think we have more of a chance the higher the required run rate is which will mena our batsmen hitting out

If there is play, pakistan only need 5 runs in the 1.1 overs to win.

Lets all sing the rain rain go away song, it might work!!

Rain Rain go away, come again another day!!
Rain Rain go away, come again another day!!
Rain Rain go away, come again another day!! :101:

Rain !!! Rain all day !!! Or stop raining for like 5 overs....just don't rain long enough for 7 balls......
 
i saw the forecast..raining all the day SA is through because of a mere avante in the RR on the other side pakistan just need to play 1 over to put 7 runs and winn

ahhh ALLAh help us!
 
Does anyone has D/L system calculations going?

Where are we currently placed...and what happens if we lose an early wickets? I use to have that excel sheet but dont have it anymore, where you could enter a score and find out all possible points.

there's still a lot of time in the day....so i assume we will get some play in the day..
This might be a blessing in disguise because i dont see our team winning this one(unless an for an exceptional performance) if we go the full distance.
 
Its on Geo at the moment and its raining....but not very hard thoough.
 
11:00 local time: The covers are still on but the rain has eased up a bit but it is still gloomy.
 
im watching geo online, but its not showing any cricket right now, have i got the right channel?

if we loose a wicket guys then pak has to be at around 109/3 in 20 overs!!!

that is a strange part of D/L. a wicket falls and the runs required goes up. I read on the explanation a long time ago but can't recall but the system has been there for years and that is what it is. Now players have to keep an eye on the par score and not the end score if rain is coming

What is strange about that ? The system is trying to work out the odds of which team would have won if it went the full distance . If wickets go downb obviously you need more runs on the board to be likely to have chased down a total .
 
So if I'm correct, within 1.1 overs we need 5 runs to win?

don't be stupid . That is only the scenrio if they only play 7 balls .They will play as long as it's not raining .

It doesn't take into the account a team will see off 5 overs from a good bowler and play slow so they can hit later either. But no system can

I think the adjustments are made which might look prefering the team batting first but first one is playing for 50 overs usually and may go slow early. I think that is fair enough. Wasn't there a case when a team suddenly had to get 20 runs in an over or two to win and that team looked on it's way to win before the rain delay.

This match I see SA in a lot better position not because of D/L but because they have put the score and Paksitan batting has failed most tournament

Chance of play... Right now 11:20 local time....
game might start in few minutes..............
 
honestly, I don't see Pakistan winning this one. Needing 26 runs to be 91/2 for the D/L system, they managed to get 21 runs in 6.5 overs. Thats not good.

Umar Amin on the other hand, cant even put half volley away!!!!! He was defending half volley, which should have been put to the boundary.

Pakistan must play out of their skins, if they continue to play like this....
 
11:40 local time: The covers are coming off and they will be inspecting in a moment.

play probably start if ok 30 mins from inspection.

Overs will be probably reduced too!

thats lucky.. apparently over reduction would of started 2 hrs from original kickoff time!
 
Hopefully it will only be a slight stoppage in rain, and when we are above par with the D/L score, it will start raining again!

^^ Go read the post before your previous.
 
Yes I very well realize that. But it will even be hard to score 5 runs in the next 7 balls. But if thats our target, we should go for it. It will most likely start raining again anyway, but dunno how much later.
