Man of the match: Ian Bishop

Poor Asia always had their work cut out for them facing WI at home. Well played Shri, great effort on being the only combined XI to make the finals.

 

[jimmy101]

Currently waiting on morgs to post his XI.

 

[mr_mister]

Need to do stats for these boys. Some seriously impressive work from my quicks all tourney

 

[morgieb]

Unchanged.

It's the Sri Lankan steamroller once again! What a winning streak it has been for them. A drug test may be necessary before the tournament ends.

To be honest, I was expecting the steamroller to end there. Nice to see Mendis hitting form, though Kaluwitharana and Silva are still not contributing much.

2nd Elimination Final

Zimbabwe v South Africa - Harare Sports Club, Harare

Zimbabwe

South Africa

South Africa won by 7 wickets.

Man of the match: Andrew Hall

 

[jimmy101]

South Africa keep their cool. I was thinking that Zimbabwe could have been a real contender in the final series but they'd completely lost their mojo over the past few games. Well played morg.

[morgieb]

Looks like what went up, must've come down. Still given our start I'd have bitten your arm off if you told me I was gonna make the quarters.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Good lineup for the remaining knockouts.

Minus points for the selectors for not keeping interest. Fully deserved last place, though I'd hopedd to get a little more out of Tony "sub-20" Gray.

1st Semi-Final

Pakistan v West Indies - National Stadium, Karachi

West Indies

Pakistan

West Indies won by 161 runs.

Man of the match: Roger Harper

 

[jimmy101]

Predictably unpredictable Pakistan's campaign has come to an end. Full marks to SCC for trying some unusual tactics, however I'm not sure if they helped all that much.

 

[jimmy101]

Battlers' to post his Aussie XI when ready.
