The fact that South Africa let the USA catch up so far in their game against them may coast them a semi finals berth.

After the result of Eng v USA, this game is essentially a knockout game. Winner to most likely play Afghanistan in the semis

 

[ioppolo]

Winner takes all. Should be a cracker. Rained out means South Africa go through should that occur.

 

[NYRB]

West Indies (Playing XI): Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell(c), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Obed McCoy

South Africa have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Gough]

Viv still looks like he could pad up tonight.

 

[Nicho50]

Good move bringing Mayers into the squad and straight him.

Hope and Mayers should have been the opening combo from the start.

 

[NYRB]

Winner takes all in North Sound tonight.

Markram is a poor mans Matt Short

Reeza Hendricks is a poor mans D'Arcy Short.

 

[NYRB]

What a start to the sporting week on a Monday to have this ding dong battle !

It was a protest song long before it was a national anthem.

This couldn't have been a much worse start for the Windies losing Hope and Pooran already.

Hopefully they can still recover to get a competitive total.

the batting lineup doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence but they always seem to find a way to post a score.

Nortje with a dolly

West Indies are struggling against Markram. Hate to see what Shamsi could do.

 

[NYRB]

Maharaj and Shamsi should I say.

 

[NYRB]

if your SA , you take 11/1 off 2 overs from Markram in a 'mini-elimination final' all day every day, twice on Mondays,

Boof would have been a great T20 bowler. Hard to get away and he bowled his overs in the blink of an eye.

 

[PoopingHindi]

he must have hit it

 

[Nicho50]

Shit i jinxed them with the Hope and Mayers should have been playing from the start comment.

 

[PoopingHindi]

definitely hit that one
