Australia and India really should be going through to the semi finals from our group. Bangladesh game should be used for NRR gain and Afghanistan could be tricky but should still be a win.
Ochre
:o
Wouldve been so easy to have just come up short in that Scotland game. Poms have a foot in the semis already

Interesting hypothetical, but lets say we win our first 2 games, and South Africa beat England.
Puts us in a scenario where by
1. If we beat India, we finish top and play England in the Semi Final
2. If we lose to India, we finish second and play South Africa in the Semi Final (where they are notorious for choking)
Number 2 would be the better outcome no ?
Assuming of course its 1A vs 2B and 2A vs 1B, which is perhaps taking it for granted with the ICC. Could be Semi Finals arranged in alphabetical order for all we know.
Also assuming we are capable of beating India.

Lots of scenarios to play out. Most likely we will be playing India in a dead rubber game however. They will play like superstars.
Then in the final...

I know they're still South Africa, but their bowling is as good as anyone, and any of QDK, Miller or Klaasen could win a semi by themselves. Dunno if I'd rather play them over the Poms

Its currently monsoon season in the Caribbean, would rather finish top regardless of opponent so we get the default win if finals get rained out.

Same old England....

He bowled well though.
reckon he gave up the runs he saved with the ball with his fielding though.

Warner dropping the double hat trick summed that up. You'd still back us to chase this though

Yeah. He was off tonight.
Aussies in big trouble 3/32. Warner, Head and Marsh.

This doesn’t look great
Big Stoin gone. Putting faith in Tim David here doesn't fill me with confidence

Game lost at the toss. Should have bat first. Afghanistan are way better defending than chasing.

May not make the Semis
Would be big for Afghanistan to make the Semi Finals

Outplayed us easily although the ICC really are bending their own rules letting them have a place in the tournament since they abolished the womens team.

Afghanistan used 8 bowlers.
Is that a record in T20 ?

Well...That was unexpected. Well done Afghanistan.

Looking at England, South Africa, India and Afghanistan semi finalists, just about the worst case scenario. Amazon was trying to do us a favour
