Good contest this

Rashid finishes with 4 for 11 from his overs. Great spell

 

[Tredman]

Best T20 bowler ever?

 

[darlowolf64]

All out for 47… try and knock these off in 4 overs (or less)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Best T20 bowler ever?

Brilliant but did spot earlier that Wood averages 18 in T20Is which is pretty special too

 

[Squeak]

6,6, Out.

 

[darlowolf64]

2 runs short after three overs…

 

[Squeak]

Simple as that... doesn't really improve the rate by much though.... 3.1 overs. Job done.

 

[darlowolf64]

All over after 3.1 overs

It increased it by 4.8…

It’s increased massively

 

[Squeak]

I stand corrected... they were saying before the innings began that it would only improve it to .3 if we got it done in 3 overs. Obviously they got it wrong... and so did I for relying on the commentators!

 

[jd1981]

It’s better than Scotland’s and if we beat Namibia as expected Scotland can’t rely on a not so bad defeat v Australia either.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Any win vs Namibia and Scotland need to win.

The NRR job was done today. Bowling was superb.

 

[jd1981]

All on Australia doing us a favour

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Or just playing normally.

If they lost it would be one of the biggest upsets of all time.

 

[Sniffer]

The weather is the greatest threat to our progress.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Group A: India are through, USA will be if they beat Ireland or it's washed out, if they lose then Pakistan could sneak through on NRR
Group B: Australia through, if England beat Namibia then Scotland need to beat Australia or pray for rain, NRR is out of the equation now whatever happens
Group C: Afghanistan and West Indies through
Group D: South Africa through, Bangladesh will be too unless they lose to Nepal, Sri Lanka are definitely out

 

[sycophantia]

It's interesting that some big hitters are out or in danger.
NZ and Sri Lanka out, Pakistan and England in a bit of bother.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We're really not in bother.

Pakistan are though as based on performances so far, USA will win later.
