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

[Daemon]

We look so unthreatening it hurts

Thought Kesh was on to something but even if he slightly beats these 2 in the flight he went for 4, 6 and , a 6 in his last 2 overs.

Was a bit of a gamble from NZ and it paid off for them. Both nearly got out. Wouldn’t say SA did anything wrong.

Should be taking that. Hit a lot of the hand.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Huge moment. Ngidi unlucky - has been the pick of the bowlers.

How good is Rickelten with the gloves instead of Klassen? Obviously QDK retiring is a huge loss.

The old issue of not taking our chances in semi's rearing its head. Klaasen missed both now.

 

[King Kane]

Klaasen showing why he is a part time keeper, Boucher would have caught that with his eyes closed.

 

[Moss]

Looks like Kane has decided that's enough of foundation-building.

Yeah there have been a few 50-50 moments where NZ have got away, but that one was on SA. Every time they've gone pace-off NZ seem to have offered chances.

SA borrowing from their rugby team; injury break to change the momentum

Yeah but they can't bring on a giant new tight 5!

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rachin Ravindra, Shubman Gill: 3 future GOATs in all 3 formats IMO (unsure about Gill in t20Is though).

 

[King Kane]

A desperation review there.

 

[SkyBlue]

The contrast in mentality between SA cricket team and their Rugby team in crunch moments should be a case study

Rachin Ravindra is highly regarded among CricketWeb forum members. In a discussion titled "Rachin - The Kiwi wonderkid," one user commented, "I have seen some cricket in my life and this guy is different. Takes a lot of courage, ability and maturity between ears to open batting in NZ."

Insanely good ton

 

[SeamUp]

Class innings Rachin!

 

[Stefan9]

Well played rachin

 

[anonymouskefe]

Rachin will surely go down as our best ODI batsman at this rate

He is definitely a special player.

 

[Moss]

Special knock considering it's come in a knockout. Shows why he slotted right back in after the injury.
