56 off 84 seems a little slow for a 350 chase.

Plus he absolutely barbecued Finch. Should’ve just gone the slog in hindsight. He was wasting valuable resources.
I went to bed with Australia needing 203 off 20 overs. It was amazing they got within 36 actually.

56 off 84 seems a little slow for a 350 chase. if he had scored at run a ball, the aussies could have come really close. match losing fifty.

Yeah, but if he scores at a run a ball maybe he gets out in the 20s. I certainly don't think he faces anywhere close to 84 balls.

Seems like the match is going to get abandoned. In such a case SA's chances are almost over unless they win everything from here on. Although there can be a situation where SA can qualify with even losing 1 more game but such a scenario is very unlikely. So SA has to effectively win everything from now on...

South Africa are gone. They have to beat Australia, New Zealand AND Pakistan just to be in the running to get 4th spot. It isn’t happening.

Stoinis looks likely to miss the rest of the tournament. In a sure sign that the selectors have yet again lost their collective minds, they decide the player to bring in is Mitch Marsh. I mean honestly, wrist spin and huge batting have been the flavour of the month in ODI's for a few years now, If only Australia had a player who can hit big and bowl half decent wrist spin. How can anyone seriously say Mitch Marsh has outplayed D'arcy Short for any period of time ? Better yet, instead of picking an allrounder, pick a keeper who can actually keep and do a bit with the bat. I mean, Handscomb or Wade cant be that bad, surely ? But no, fucking Mitchell Marsh. Again.

To be honest Bangladesh could have favoured themselves to grab a couple of points against SL considering Sakib's form. Not sure they would be happy with 1 point. I hope MM can find his form with ball & bat although I am not sure if he would. Dhawan seems to be hurt so I think KL Rahul may get promoted as an opener. He is awful.

I think Karthik is the better option opening. Or a real left field job might be Pandya

Australia scramble in the end to 307. Lost their last 6 for 30. Should have made 330 at least.

They really should chase this down. The big downside Pakistan have is they do have a long tail. Amir at 8 isn’t great.

Lighting can't strike twice for Pakistan in chase situations.
This new job is making me miss these games. Hopefully will see Ind vs Pak on Sunday.
