Gotta love these sorts of games. Scotland are out, but there's plenty left to play for in this match.

 

[Dubilog]

Blimey, good match this! Who would have thought AA???

 

[Scaly piscine]

12 needed off the last over, AA's last over gone for 17.

If Pakistan win this, are India gone from the tournament on NRR or...?

India goes through. Only a terrible loss would result in an exit (Scotland's NRR is -2.55 or something). India's NRR isn't falling that low from this match.

India were through because Scotland lost to Pakistan, all India had to do was not lose as badly.

What a game...

What match report?

"What a match it has been. Pakistan clawed back in the last three overs and the match will now be decided by a bowl out."

 

[silentstriker]

LOL @ bowl outs.

 

[silentstriker]

Can someone explain to me what exactly is a bowl out?

 

[viktor]

Should play a Three3 instead.

 

[silentstriker]

Cricinfo explains it....

Accuracy and Indian bowlers. That's not going to go over well. In any case, why wouldn't the bowlers just stand still and bowl at 20mph to make sure they hit the stumps?

Like a penalty shoot out, 5 bowlers line up and attempt to bowl the stumps down.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Usually each of the 5 bowlers get two goes each, not sure if that's the case here.

 

[atisha_ro]

tremendous finish, i wish it would end here, a tie - very symbolic one for the rivalry.
who said 20/20 is boring?
too bad we couldn't bring this on-screen here (my old project). quite a good show in the name of cricket.

as for the tiebreaker, the harsher the better - one over each, sudden death.
sort of NCAA football overtime.

At least they don't ask fielders to score direct hits.
