Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

[SkyBlue]

ICC events is vague , he's played one ODI tournament prior which he didn't play well , in this tournament he had 2 innings and scored 2 50's he's not the issue here , in fact the spotlight should be more on how NZ played today , they have been by far the better team , Santner , Ravindra, Williamson they should be praised .

Isn't Bavuma like 35? Do you seem him leading SA in the home world cup in 2027?

 

[Sunil1z]

Too bad for the Lahori/Pakistani audience that this is fizzing out (unless Miller suddenly manages a surge), shaping as a very tame end to their hosting of the tournament.

This match is done . Stop being a coward

 

[TT Boy]

That is worth a review.

Marco isn't a mug with the bat but playing the reverse sweep is beyond his batting ability.

Indeed. He took Rashid Khan for 28 in an over before, with 24 of those runs coming in front of square.

He averaged 50+ in this tournament you utter muppet.

Well, you felt there was no need to read too much into India's bowling performance against NZ the other night, so that makes us even

We will have to see how some of the senior feel after this tournament, generally a tournament exit spells the end for experienced players

 

[TT Boy]

7 wickets for 118 runs against 24 overs of spin.

 

[kevinw]

Bavuma is not a quota player , he's actually better than Markram in Tests and ODIS

I thought he was averaging low 30s but his test and odi records are very decent.

 

[King Kane]

Bavuma is more deserving of a place in the SA ODI team than Mulder, I don't know he keeps getting a game and he isn't black as far as I can tell.

 

[Athlai]

7 wickets for 118 runs against 24 overs of spin.

The real engine room

 

[Sunil1z]

Actually my suspicion has come true considering how NZ batted today

 

[SkyBlue]

You're a bit too fixated on averages. No wonder you consider Babar an ODI great

 

[Athlai]

You're the sort of bloke that would be saying Williamson batted too slow until he smashes 50 off 30 after setting a platform

Williamson is a Clutch player . Same can’t be said about Bauvma .

 

[StephenZA]

7 wickets for 118 runs against 24 overs of spin.

So the standard SA vs spin... It is actually pretty terrible that SA still hasn't resolved that in the last 25 years.

 

[King Kane]

Miller hasn't given up,

 

[SkyBlue]

Not really. It makes sense for the likes of Williamson and Kohli to play the way they do because their role in the team is well defined plus these players are big match players.

I don't remember a single meaningful knock in high pressure situations from Babar or Bavuma.

 

[honestbharani]

Well done NZ. Santner is amazing and the way they adapt to almost every condition and situation is just next level.

RSA decided that sucking, instead of choking, in a KO game would be a nice change of pace.

 

[Moss]

Matt Henry back to the bowling crease? That's a desperate attempt to add some interest to this game now.

 

[Athlai]

Henry bowling is a very good sign
