***Official***Semi-Final #2- South Africa vs Australia - November 16th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

[OverratedSanity]

I mean regardless of what happens unless they have Aus like 9/100 and somehow still contrive to lose it would be the height of harshness to call this a "choke". They just ran into immaculate new ball bowling in unexpectedly helpful conditions and never quite recovered, despite putting a real good effort to do so.

Recovered really well from that early collapse too.

They've atleast kept themselves in it, but feel like this kind of pitch is actually ideal for Australia's weaker batsmen in Smith and Labu to step up and take them home.

SA would hope this doesn’t happen again

 

[Andyhere]

South Africa will win this game.

There I said it.

Bold prediction!

Exactly. They will play test match which is their strength since there is 0 scoreboard pressure

Very light rain as of the moment. SA will still win anyways

Remember

SA fielding will be the key here. They need to choke Aus runs and make them take all kinds of risk.

 

[Son Of Coco]

They had enough 30 runs ago. Australia will crumble.

England are sitting at home eating apple crumble.

Hard for the chokers to choke a team that knows how to win knockouts.

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Wickets are important for SA, otherwise Head will finish this game in the powerplay itself

 

[Adorable Asshole]

The pitch has something for something for fast bowlers but it's not a 200 pitch.

 

[Shri]

why do SA bowlers look dispassionate here

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Head is living dangerously

Has some turn in it as well. Head spun it quite a bit. Maharaj key as well

 

[Shri]

8 overs 10-2 lol

aus have got there 6 overs early without losing a wicket

 

[Spark]

Someone tell Marco Jansen that Dave Warner bats left-handed

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jansen's really fallen off after a strong start to the tournament.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This is poor bowling

 

[morgieb]

Jesus. What the hell has happened to Jansen's bowling?
