This is what you call a choke lads. Not a mediocre South Africa team getting knocked out in every World Cup. You need to have a realistic chance of winning for it to be considered a choke

Rain has robbed SA of a much better chance in semi finals in both Aus/NZ world cups.
But 1999 was kinda "chokey"

And it's Mushfiq at the centre of it again.

Mushy getting out to a full toss in the closing overs of a runchase
It's becoming a meme at this point

How the hell do you lose that? I suppose they found a way.

There was nothing of Dhoni strategy here. They've been struggling to connect full tosses throughout the final overs, not just the last over.

tbf peak Dhoni didn't leave runs out there in the middle overs. He just didn't step on the gas till he had to. He still put bad balls away and constantly rotated the strike. His whole idea was not to take the game to the bowlers, but let them bring the game to him.
The way Mushy and Dullah played Gayle suggests they left runs out there tho. I don't believe that 2018 Gayle is turning out spells worthy of figures like 7-0-26-0 no matter how the pitch is playing.

^ I can still understand a spinner keeping it tight given this track was supposed to help spinners. But the amount of full tosses from Holder that they struggled to connect, even when Mahmudullah or Mushfiq were well set in their 30s is mind boggling. Against a mediocre attack in a chase, you win by nailing it every time they bowl a bad ball, which for a side like WI would be quite regularly.
Even if one of those full tosses had gone for a six, this match wouldn't have even gone till the last over

In a typically Bangladeshi ****ed up sort of way, getting off to a flier actually may have contributed to the loss.
It made Tamim, Shakib and Doola so comfortable with the idea that they could just coast along to victory that there was never any pressure on them to up the run rate. When you're batting with that sort of mentality, you'll let some poor bowling slide here and there instead of punishing it like BW has alluded to regarding the full tosses.
I didn't watch the game so I may be talking bollocks here.

I wonder if Holder started bowling full tosses intentionally in the end after seeing how bad BD were at connecting those
