South Africa would be looking for a shift in their run rate to maintain a strong position in their group

 

[Extreme Pace]

Don't think it would matter NZ are very far ahead in terms of NRR. Their best bet is to beat Neth and Eng and hope SL beats NZ.

 

[Kianig89]

Can the Dutch cross 100 run mark i think if they win the toss they will bowl first

 

[Extreme Pace]

Netherlands win toss and will bowl first.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good decision by Dutch

 

[Justcrazy]

Styen rested

 

[Extreme Pace]

Styen rested

No, Steyn is playing. Morne Morkel has been dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

National anthems on now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

After last match, they have no faith in Morne.

 

[Justcrazy]

No, Steyn is playing. Morne Morkel has been dropped

Yes , mistake

Dutch will have bad time then

 

[Kianig89]

Morne dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

2 runs , and SA off the mark

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amla has to score quickly at least against Netherlands here. His slow batting is costing SA dearly.

 

[Justcrazy]

Morne dropped

I think rested

 

[Logical]

Wicket !

SA to choke ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Dutch strike in the first over

 

[Red Devil]

de Kock is having a horrible tournament so far

 

[Extreme Pace]

De Kock tries too much too early in T20, maybe to ease the pressure on Amla..

 

[Justcrazy]

3 / 1 after 1 over

 

[jattafridi]

Predict SA score?

 

[Justcrazy]

Appeal for run out !!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Next game of Lanka vs Poms would be very important

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 1 after 2 overs

 

[London_Lahori]

I guess De Kock getting out today was Amla's fault as well

 

[96NotOut]

Does Seelar really celebrate as weird as his Cricinfo pictures indicate?

[96NotOut]

And another !

And another! (I'm really getting tired!)

The #OneBigOver from SA!

 

[Justcrazy]

23 off that over

Carnage by

 

[London_Lahori]

23 in the over Hashim Amla

 

[Justcrazy]

33 / 1 after 3 overs

 

[London_Lahori]

Come on Hash, make it big

 

[MarkCooper]

Fill your boots against the minnow team. Get your net run rate up high and take advantage of club quality bowling.

 

[jattafridi]

SA should score 220

 

[London_Lahori]

:4 amla again

 

[96NotOut]

Why can't Netherlands be in our group?

 

[Justcrazy]

destroying dutch here

 

[96NotOut]

36 from 16 for Amla.

 

[Electron]

Ye Amla ko aaj kyaa ho gya !

 

[96NotOut]

Just when it seemed he could do no wrong... Hash plays a DOT.

 

[London_Lahori]

I have 6 SA in my fantasy team today, 4 SL's and one Englishman

 

[Electron]

Why can't Netherlands be in our group?

Let the other group have fun here. Come the semis, our fighters will smack them.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to do this against better teams

 

[96NotOut]

Hashim Amla has no fifties in T20Is?

 

[Justcrazy]

39 / 1 after 4 overs

 

[96NotOut]

On 43.

 

[MarkCooper]

Out AMLA

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

should get a 50 here

 

[Justcrazy]

misses a

 

[96NotOut]

He didn't get his fifty today either.

 

[Justcrazy]

46 / 2 after 5 overs

 

[96NotOut]

This game has sort of lost its appeal now... Booooring.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

51 /2

 

[Justcrazy]

With styen in the Team , 140 would be enough for SA

 

[London_Lahori]

 

[London_Lahori]

South Africa will get 200 here

 

[MarkCooper]

Every time they show monks in the crowd they are fat. Monks should not be fat!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

58 / 2 after 6 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be tough for Dutch to stop SA batting now , they have momentum

 

[Justcrazy]

66 / 2 after 7

 

[Logical]

This generation of cricket fans is extremely lucky to watch someone like De Villiers bat, this guy makes it look so easy.

 

[Justcrazy]

75 / 2 after 8 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

AB on firee

 

[London_Lahori]

Comment from Cricinfo

Owais: "those who critise Amla for T20 have hardly any reason looking at the SR of his those teammates who are considered explosive, Amla's SR is 115 Du Plesis 122 and ABD 120...where is that big difference considering Amla's role is to stabilise the team not to do the firework which others are supposed to do"

 

[Red Devil]

Third wicket down

 

[Justcrazy]

85 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Morkel in early here

 

[Justcrazy]

92 / 3 after 10
