Teams batting second in the last 3 games at Dubai have all won their matches. So Australia will be more than comfortable with this stat.

Is it possible for both teams to lose?

No

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Starc is getting some swing...doesn't look as lethal and threatening as Shaheen Shah Afridi, yet

 

[Spark]

modern bats eh

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Aussies have misfield quite a few balls in this first over so far.

 

[Tiberius]

Starc doesn't have it this tournament.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The running between the wickets has been admirable for SL....and now the first boundary scored.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Don't sleep on Pathum...he's all class.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh well, I talked him up too much.

 

[anil1405]

Wow....what a shot first up.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

My oh my!!!!

Asalanka welcoming Maxwell to the game with a big six over cow corner

 

[smash84]

Asalanka really stepping it up here, incredible

 

[smash84]

That's such great cricket, taking a single after that boundary

 

[Spark]

Asalanka is fun

 

[anil1405]

Picking Starc, Haze and Cummins and giving 4th over to Maxi is so brainless imo, irrespective of the pitch you are playing on and irrespective of the fact that there were 2 lefties out there.

I thought M.Marsh is gonna have a bowl as well, no?

The shot tracker has to be the most useless graphic in modern cricket. Apex height it seems

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now he plays a lofted straight shot for four. I'm loving this guy...SL are back baby!
