10th Match - Afghanistan v Australia

[Daemon]

Australia were lucky to escape with 1 point against SA and now rain will save them here too. Cheats.

20 overs, the bizarre thing is that Aus may already have enough for the 20 over target. I have no idea how this will work.

If 20 overs aren't bowled it'll be a no result. Runs/wickets taken doesn't matter I don't think if it doesn't qualify as a 'match'

Agreed. But if they end up with half an hour to play and Aus have a target to get in 20 overs, it's probably not much more than what they've already got.

They always show that and it doesn't turn out to be the battering you think....

Oh for sure - course a bit moot as same result if Aus win or NR recorded, so don't think any hairs will be split this day.

might keep it on while I have lunch then, I have a vague memory of this match.

Turns out the 20 overs target would be 123, so 14 runs to get in 7 overs should they come back out.

It looks like the Aussies will get through to the semis whether this is a another washout or not so there will be two dead rubber games on the weekend.

The Stuart Broad 'run out ' attempt off the last ball?

that was indeed a satisfying conclusion

We've been providing the entertainment (largely at our own expense) for a long time.

Fun fact: now that Russia have been banned, England are the only active European team who have never beaten another European team in an official T20 game

Short gone

Enough time for Mitch Owen to fly in?

its over

 

[SkyBlue]

At least Afghanistan will finish the tournament at a respectable 5th position

 

[King Kane]

So Australia are through to the semi finals with one win and two no results.

Hopefully we get them in the semi finals, they will be short of match practice.

Gutted for Afg.

For Afghanistan to qualify:
-- England will have to beat South Africa by at least 207 runs if they bat first. If they bat second, they will have to chase down the target within 11.1 overs (assuming a first innings total of 300 in both cases).

Dream still alive.
