***Official***Match # 42- Afghanistan vs South Africa - November 10th - Ahmedabad (D/N)

[SillyCowCorner1]

Final group game for both teams. Reckon Afghanistan goes out with a bang.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Afghanistan need to win by at least 438 runs to surpass New Zealand on NRR.


Not impossible.

Doesn't matter, they already fumbled when it mattered the most and had a great opportunity to qualify for semis.
This game will be a dead rubber both teams atleast having qualified for champions trophy

Not possible either

Yea exactly, that is why it's a dead rubber. To win by 438 you have to score 550 at the very least. They are not playing Bermuda.

You must be fun at parties.

It's one thing to be optimistic but another when you expect something unrealistic.

Nice back-to-reality quote. It was fun while it lasted. Hehe.

SA should chase in this match and prepare for semi-final.

It's double edged for them, if they lose against Afghanistan while chasing, they would got to semis without any momentum.

 

[Molehill]

Afghans win toss and bat, might be interesting to see how SA go without their favourite order of doing things. Jansen is rested.

 

[ankitj]

Afghan capable of posting 275-300 and putting SA under pressure. Will be a good game.

 

[Aidan11]

I think Afghanistan will win.

 

[DriveClub]

Can Afghanistan get over their last loss

 

[MW1304]

I actually can't believe SA still persist with players like Phehlukwayo at 7. They've been making this mistake for years and it's so debilitating, especially for such an aggressive middle order. They have absolutely no cover.

Glad they have a chance to chase here though. Put the ****ing demons to bed pls.

 

[Aidan11]

Good steady start from Afghanistan.

Would be nice to see Afghanistan get some kind of score on the board just to see how South Africa go with chasing.
