This ground is equipped with subsurface aeration and vacuum-powered drainage facilities. It takes barely a few minutes to remove rainwater with the help of a remotely controlled system. Thus, we won't have prolonged stoppage and it looks like a passing shower

I reckon they should be bang on target maybe. The fact they're 10 runs over takes the piss

Back home in NZ - I mean it's obviously Williamson, Crowe even knew it and said it before he passed

 

[Adorable Asshole]

150/1

@Athlai is ****ed.

If the match restarts now then bowling would be hard because of the wet ball and pitch. But a silver lining is that Fakhar rhythm is broken.

What's the story with NRR if the game ends here?

It'd have been funnier if you asked me if I needed a towel

Would help NZ.

What's the DLS score?

don't know but further evidence worthless duck method is not great

402 needed off 50 overs = 8.04 rpo
242 needed off 28.3 overs = 8.49 rpo

basically making it far nearer a T20 chase than a 50 over chase, no wickets reduced to compensate, and the RRR only increased by less than half a run. stands out as being clearest stupid calculation by any method since the last tournament with a round robin group stage and the "rain rule"

it's effectively suggesting a starting point for Pakistan of 160/0 off 21.3 overs which is 7.44 rpo without losing any wickets! counters any lost powerplay overs, I think chasing 350+ most sides would take 160/0 even at the loss of a few powerplay overs


EDIT : ironically of course they've reached 160/1 off 21.3 overs, but that is down to how Fakhar has played, not what is supposed to represent average in such conditions

What would the par score be if Santner hit a 6 off the last ball

 

[Athlai]

Bout 3.50

 

[King Kane]

At least we shouldn't lose much NRR if we lose but losing after scoring 401 would still be a disaster.

 

[Athlai]

And the ****ing replay is ****ing SA vs NZ
