15th Match - South Africa v West Indies (25th March)

[LightningStrike]

Saffers bat deep. They can still get a decent score.

 

[91Jmay]

That is really poor keeping. To not even react and move your gloves.

 

[LightningStrike]

Haha. Henry bowling again.

 

[Stapel]

Though it seems applaudable by De Kock to still be out there, consuming a third of all balls available at a run-a-ball, is never ever a good thing in T20.

As England showed against Afghanistan. You only need 12 balls to completely change the game.

Plenty of time yet.

Tough to be hard on him. Guess the next5 overs will define his innings.

As you said, that was against Afghanistan. I can't see that happening here, when, for instance, Badree is given the ball again.

Getinthere

 

[91Jmay]

Huge wicket, good knock from De Kock given the circumstances. Run a ball when rest of top 6 scored 21 combined can't be criticised.

 

[Compton]

Big moment. De Kock capable of fireworks if he was still there to the end.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Credit to de kock for at least carrying this to the twentieth over. We should realistically art least bat this out.

 

[91Jmay]

130 should be target, and that whilst below par is at least defendable

 

[Howe_zat]

Windies pulling this off would be perfect for England. They could get through even if they lose.

NZ defending 130 by a distance against India comes to mind. Not sure we've seen much danger in the wicket but so many getting out bowled to spinners says it can't be easy

 

[duffer]

Catch that!

Yeah, the groundsman has clearly left some more grass on this one though. Less demons in pitch and ball coming onto bat as well.

Very hard to see that given net run rates as far as I can see. Would require SA to beat SL. But SA would surely have a better nrr than England in that case and go through.

 

[Stace]

Rabada is better with the bat then Phangiso isn't he?

 

[kykweer.proteas]

These slower balls were pretty much perfect

A Gayle storm would ruin SA's nrr, not?
