Group D - South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Nepal

[cricman]

Large Bangladeshi diaspora in Dallas and NY. Decent sized community of Sri Lankans as well ... Was surprised by the number of Blue shirts in the crowd tbh.

 

[Silver Silva]

That should be us out of the tournament then, extremely disappointing for Sri Lanka.

Where are the match threads?

Didnt get to watch the match but Hridoy

Fizz should have been MoM just because Rishad played that stupid shot. I think Shakib is cooked as far as being an elite cricket player.

He is cooked long time ago I'd imagine but its the reputation and lack of options keeping him in the team

Haha yeah there's a big gap between not being an elite cricketer and not being good enough for the Bangladesh T20I side.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The Naagin derby and the Nidahas Trophy are really the peak of all cricket, tbh.

Add WC matches now

Still theres hope. Neds winning against BD, SL winning huge against Neds and so and so. Anything can happen actually

Really early exit for us in this tournament. Can't say it's unexpected, but its still disappointing.

Just got around to watching that game. Really enjoyed it as a neutral.

Marco Jansen doing the business for SA here .

 

[trundler]

Jansen's extra bounce is a troubling prospect for minnow batsmen on normal decks let alone here. Netherlands could've had a chance chasing but it's hard to see them make it past SA's pace battery here.

 

[Stefan9]

Probably the worse pitch Holland could face SA on. The extra bounce is causing them nightmares.

Yeah they'd very much be in the game on one of the slow decks in Caribbean like Providence but they have all the odds stacked against them here

 

[Arachnodouche]

A fit and firing Nortje has to be just about the nastiest bowler to face since peak MJ.

 

[Silver Silva]

Netherlands batters aren't thinking about runs out there, they just trying not to get hurt..brutal fast bowling

 

[FBU]

51/6 12.4 overs

SA to be very careful batting on this

66/6 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Aidan11]

No upset here.
