**Official** Quadrangular Four Nation 20/20

[kingkallis]

Canada is doing pretty decent job...

46/2 after 8 overs, Cheems is playing a good role!

Require 92 from 12 and its very much possible!

Jeff lawson might not want to go back to Pakistan

82 in 10 now for Canada

Big 6666666666 by David of Afridi

74 in 9 overs now 8 Wickets in hand

David out but this Mulla guy looks like he can handle a Bat

Canada losing the plot now ... Zimbabwe might have a fair chance to make it to the Finals

 

[stumpski]

No upset today it appears - they've used up 13 overs getting halfway to their target. Even if Cheema and Dhaniram last the distance, 72 off seven overs looks a tall order.

 

[alvarez]

Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to bat first v Canada. Am backing Canada in an upset.

 

[alvarez]

Canada off to a flyer thanks to Cheema. 1/29 after 2. Cheema 21 not out off 8 balls with 2 sixes already.

 

[Nate]

Haha, fire up Zimbabwe. Top short ball.

 

[alvarez]

I spoke too soon, Cheema gone for 23 off 11. Can 2/40 off 3.5 overs. Whats with Cricinfo's scorers lately? Its all over the place.

 

[Nate]

Canada rotating the strike really well. Mature stuff.

 

[Nate]

Reckon they should bring on some spin.

 

[alvarez]

Reckon they should bring on some spin.

Probably a wise move.

 

[Nate]

Iqbal is looking fantastic against the pace. Might pencil him in for a 50.

Canada in control now, theyve played really well today and the crowd is absolutely wild, canadian flags everywhere!

 

[andruid]

Its going to the bowl out

 

[stumpski]

Sri Lanka made what looks like a substandard 137 v Pakistan. Might have been more if Jayasuriya had survived the first over.

Interesting - were you watching it? From England?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Seems pretty strange to bowl Umar Gul too late to get through his full 4 overs.

Bowlout was a bit pointless, shame Zimbabwe won it.

 

[stumpski]

31 wanted off two and a half overs ... it could go to the wire, if Shoaib Malik stays there.

 

[stumpski]

Well Pakistan got home - something for their supporters to cheer I suppose, in what's been a difficult year ... I always think that if a side needs more than 10 off the last over they're in trouble, but they did it with a ball to spare - thanks to a remarkable innings from tailender Fawad Alam who hit three of the eight balls he faced for six!

Yep its on ary digital.

Dont know if anybody realises here that canada should have won even with 2 balls to go.. simply says misfield for 4 on cric info, but infact it was dreadful. The sub fielder let a slow rolling ball through his legs off the penultimate ball, meaning 1 was turned into 4, leaving 2 needed off the last ball instead of 5... there was no way they would have hit a 6 off that last ball... Baidwan was bowling yorker after yorker.. really impressive stuff.

never mind the performance was more important than the result really... Im suprised theres no mention of the series on cricketeurope actually.. they cover all the associate stuff usually.
