Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: New Zealand Vs England Video Highlights

Toss: New Zealand won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Kumar Dharmasena & Marais Erasmus

What Actually Happened – New Zealand Vs England

  • Winner: New Zealand won by 5 wickets
  • Scores: England 166/4 New Zealand 167/5
  • Player of the Match: Daryl Mitchell 72* (47)
  • Best Figures
    • Tim Southee (4-0-24-1)
    • Liam Livingstone (4-0-22-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Moeen Ali 51* (37)
    • Daryl Mitchell 72* (47)

Moments of The Day: Neesham Has His Day as England Shocked

  • Moeen Ali & Dawid Malan, two batters of completely distinct styles of play with #3 as their preferred positions worked together to recover England after a slow start. From 53/2 in 8.1 overs, they took it to a solid 116 in the next 7 overs. Great ball striking from both, especially Moeen at the end to shift the momentum England’s way.
  • We have talked a lot about Devon Conway on this channel since his NZ debut, but he had not lit the tournament a light. Today was his day. When he came in, Chris Woakes had taken the two stars out—Guptill & Williamson. Although Conway was not the man of the moment, his strikes flipped the narrative on which Neesham and Mitchell could capitalize. Took them from 13/2 in 2.4 overs to 95/3 in 13.4.
  • Daryl Mitchell was not supposed to be New Zealand’s premier all rounder, but was picked over the dangerous Colin de Grandhomme. Mitchell was not supposed to be NZ’s opener. That should have been a toss up between Munro & Seifert. He was not supposed to be hitting the shot that would help NZ meet Australia in the final. Grant Elliot did that already in 2015. However, he did all three with the presence of his parents in the crowd. Dream moment.

Never lose hope even if you are struggling at the beginning. He struggled to get into the NZ side for years due to their all rounder depth. Today he could not hit anything and was going at a snail’s pace 28* (28). Neesham came, Neesham conquered, Mitchell started, stayed, and finished. 44 runs in the last 19 deliveries including a 6,6,4 to end the game with an over to spare.

Drama of the Day

A New Zealand-England knockout game was bound to have drama. The wounds (or happiness) runs deep from that day in July of 2019.

  • Bairstow, Livingstone, & The Catch – 2 years ago, Trent Boult, one of modern Cricket’s best boundary riders, stepped onto the boundary while completing a relay catch with Guptill. Stokes 6, Neesham bowling, NZ’s hopes crumble. Today it was Neesham batting. Similar ball, Neesham swings it to a similar part of the ground, and Bairstow-Livingstone complete a relay catch. Except Bairstow had touched the rope. History repeats itself, doesn’t it mate?
  • Bairstow, Livingstone, & The Non-Catch – The VERY NEXT ball, Neesham hits it again and mistakes it. The catch is their for the taking….and Livingstone freezes. He did not go for the catch, Neesham survived, and eventually New Zealand wins.
  • Jimmy Neesham did not make the 2015 CWC in NZ because Corey Anderson & Grant Elliot were selected. He contemplated early retirement in the years he was not picked. He came back, almost got NZ across the line with a Super Over Six in 2019, but was heartbroken. I am glad he is finally back – 2 sixes in the 17th over then another one an over later. Needing 57 in 4 overs, Neesham changed it to . The game changer of this semi finals.

He is not done though. He did not celebrate when the team won nor did he leave when the team left. Just reflecting on his mayhem and froze for a while.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Devon Conway’s Broken Hand

  • Conway was playing so well. However when he got out on 46, stumped to part-timer Liam Livingstone he was disappointed in himself. He reacted by hitting the bat.
  • Now it is known he broke his hand due to that. Ruled out of the T20 World Cup Final and the India series that follows right after.

India Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #42 Quick Review!

India Vs Namibia Quick Review – India deliver victory on Ravi Shastri-Bharat Arun-Sridhar-Captain Kohli era.

Final game of the Super 12s in the T20 World Cup.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: India Vs Scotland Video Highlights

Toss: India won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE

Umpires: Chris Brown & Richard Illingworth

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: India won by 9 wickets
  • Scores: Namibia 132/8 India 136/1
  • Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja 3/16
  • Best Figures
    • Ravindra Jadeja (4-0-16-3), Ravichandran Ashwin (4-0-20-3)
    • Jan Frylinck (2-0-19-2)
  • Most Runs
    • David Wiese 26 (25)
    • Rohit Sharma 56 (37), KL Rahul 54* (36)

Moments of The Day: Same Story, Different Opposition

This match was similar to the India-Scotland match. Spinners choked the Associate nation, while Rohit-Rahul finished the rest.

  • Stephan Baard & Michael van Lingen started positively, scoring 33 in just 4.3 overs. However Bumrah and Jadeja soon reduced Namibia to 39/3. Jadeja was good, but the pick of the bowlers was Ashwin for me – The bowled off Green and couple of edges to slips were proper Test match off spin.
  • Wiese’s 26, along with Frylinck & Trumpelmann’s finishing helped Namibia to a competitive total. Altogether, David Wiese ended up as the fourth highest run-scorer at the end of the Super 12s with 227 runs, best of 66*, average of 45.40 & 127.50 SR. Not bad for someone representing Namibia for the first time.
  • Since the Afghanistan game, 4 players have had standout performances for Team India:
    • Jadeja: 1/19, 3/16, 3/15
    • Ashwin: 2/14, 1/29, 3/20
    • Sharma: 74, 30, 56
    • Rahul: 69, 50, 54*
  • While Rahul & Sharma almost killed the chase with a beautiful highlight package, Suryakumar Yadav was promoted ahead of Virat Kohli. A classic 25* (19) followed including an inside out shot and a pull. When asked later about the move, Kohli responded with, “Surya didn’t get much game time,…, and it’s a nice [World Cup] memory of him to take back.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: The Ravi Shastri Era Ends

  • Even though India did not win an ICC trophy during his tenure, India made large strides, especially in Test cricket. R Sridhar improved fielding standards all around and Bharat Arun is credited for the rise of India’s fast bowling attack around the globe. Ravi Shastri instilled the confidence which was evident in the home/away England series & the 2 series victories overseas against Australia, especially Gabba 2021 (rising from 36 All Out). An almost 2.0 W/L ratio across formats is unprecedented for an Indian coach.
  • He also mentioned that not having enough rest between the IPL and the World T20 attributed to not being switched on during crunch situations and pressure matches early on.
  • In any case, I will leave you with his own quote from today, “Sometimes in life, it’s not about all you accomplish, it’s about what you overcome.” Beautiful.

Have a great journey ahead coach! Whether that is coaching in the IPL or back to the commentary! Would also love to see a more free Virat Kohli.

Pakistan Vs Scotland – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #41 Quick Review!

Pakistan Vs Scotland Quick Review – Shoaib Malik rolls back the years as Berrington makes a WC Super 12 fifty.

The semi-finalists are now solidified – (1) England Vs New Zealand and (2) Pakistan Vs Australia.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Pakistan Vs Scotland  Video Highlights

Toss: Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, UAE

Umpires: Rod Tucker & Paul Wilson

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: New Zealand won by 72 runs
  • Scores: Pakistan 189/4 Scotland 117/6
  • Player of the Match: Shoaib Malik 54* (18)
  • Best Figures
    • Hamza Tahir (4-0-24-1)
    • Shadab Khan (4-0-14-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Babar Azam 66 (47)
    • Richie Berrington 54* (37)

Moments of The Day: Babar-Malik-Shadab Demolish Scotland

  • Pakistan now have had 5 different Player of the Match awards—Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Asif Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, and now Shoaib Malik. Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam so far? 68*, 9, 51, 70, & 66. Highest run-scorer of the tournament, 4 fifties, and has not been their most important player yet. Wow.
  • Shoaib Malik has been playing international cricket for 22 years, about the age of several Pakistani players in this young side. Today, he showed the world why he is one of the best players against spin. Six sixes and one four as Pakistan scored 77 in the last 5.
  • Richie Berrington had made a 50 in the qualifying stages but an unbeaten fifty today ensured Scotland do not suffer a repeat of the Afghanistan game (Afghanistan had scored around 190 and routed Scotland for 60). Good knock.
  • Pakistan’s spinners were ultra impressive. Imad Wasim scored 4-0-17-0 and Shadab Khan with 4-0-14-2. Miserly spells. Tied down George Munsey for 17 (31). Strike rate of 54.83. The reason of this slowdown was brilliant captaincy. See the graphic below.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Kyle Coetzer

  • Kyle Coetzer has been synonymous with Scotland Cricket for more than a decade now. One of the stars of the mammoth ODI victory against England.
  • Lot was expected of the captain but scores of 0, 6,41, 10, 17, 1, & 9 do not inspire much confidence. 84 runs at an average of 12, from which 41 runs came in one match. For a top order batter, that is way too low.

In any case, hope Scotland bounces better in the 2022 T20 World Cup, which they have already qualified for since they made it to the Super 1ws this time.

New Zealand Vs Afghanistan – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #40 Quick Review!

New Zealand Vs Afghanistan Quick Review – NZ’s all round show ends Afghan & Indian dreams.

In the process, New Zealand reach the semi-finals of the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: New Zealand Vs Afghanistan Video Highlights

Toss: Afghanistan won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Kumar Dharmasena & Langton Rusere

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: New Zealand won by 8 wickets
  • Scores: Afghanistan 124/8 New Zealand 125/2
  • Player of the Match: Trent Boult 3/17
  • Best Figures
    • Trent Boult (4-0-17-3)
    • Rashid Khan (4-0-27-1)
  • Most Runs
    • Najibullah Zadran 73 (48)
    • Kane Williamson 40* (42)

Moments of The Day: Fielders, Bowlers, Williamson-Conway Brush Aside Afghanistan

  • Fast bowlers all chipped in to break Afghanistan’s hopes. Impressive Milne nicked out Shahzad, Boult got Zazai, and Southee dismissed Gurbaz. Afghanistan 19/3 in 5.1 overs and never recovered.
  • Najibullah Zadran was the lone star for Afghanistan. Scoring his best T20I score of 73 out of Afghanistan’s 125 shows you the impact he had. Such a clean striker of he ball. He now averages 33.29 at a SR of 141.28 in T20Is.
  • Afghanistan missed a trick by waiting to bring Rashid Khan till after the Powerplay, but he delivered. Runs dried up with NZ at 63/2 in 11 overs, still needing 62 in the remaining 9. With Williamson steady, Devon Conway finally played an innings of note. Reverse sweeps and sweeps eased the pressure as NZ won with 11 balls to spare.

Honorable Mention: Daryl Mitchell’s flying save

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Afghanistan, India Crash Out

  • Broken Dream #1 is the obvious one – Afghanistan was expected to defeat one of the three big guns – Pakistan, India, or NZ.
  • Till Afghanistan reached Asif Ali, everything was well & good. 130 run victory against Scotland, brushing aside Namibia, NRR touching the roof. Post Asif Ali’s assault, Afghanistan’s body language dropped, Asghar Afghan retired midway, & Afghanistan did not give a fight to India or NZ. Semi-finals in friendly conditions was within reach, and they let it slip.
  • Broken Dream #2 – Indian fans tuned into this match for an Afghanistan upset. Not only did Afghanistan lose, they took out India with them. A dead rubber scheduled for tomorrow.

South Africa Vs England – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #39 Quick Review!

South Africa Vs England Quick Review – South Africa outclass tournament favorite’s England.

The last game of Group 1, South Africa knew exactly what they needed to do. After posting 189, the equations were as follows:

If England were restricted:

  • England < 87: England crash out & both SA/Aus go through
  • 87 < England < 131: Both Eng/SA go through; Australia out
  • England > 87: South Africa crash out & Eng/Aus qualify

As it turns out, the third situation happened. South Africa won handsomely against the #1 team, won 4 out of the 5, and did not qualify for the semi-finals.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: South Africa Vs England Video Highlights

Toss: England won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, UAE

Umpires: Chris Brown & Joel Wilson

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: South Africa won by 10 runs
  • Scores: South Africa 189/2 England 179/8
  • Player of the Match: Rassie van der Dussen 94* (60)
  • Best Figures
    • Moeen Ali (4-0-27-1)
    • Kagiso Rabada (4-0-48-3), Tabraiz Shamsi (4-0-24-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Rassie van der Dussen 94* (60)
    • Moeen Ali 37 (27)

Moments of The Day: Van der Dussen-Markam, Rabada’s Hat-Trick In a Close Game

  • South Africa batted intelligently. They adjusted to the pitch beautifully. Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen brought out their sweeps and reverse sweeps to negate Adil Rashid. While most people thought that South Africa are playing too conservatively, they were only trying to conserve their wickets.
  • After de Kock got out, in came Aiden Markram with Dussen set. Then, came the acceleration. Markram’s 54* (25) with four sixes and Rassie’s 94*, highest score for a South African in a T20I WC, meant that South Africa scored 119 runs in the last 10. Chris Woakes and Mark Wood got hammered.
  • Although South Africa could not keep England down to 131 with Buttler-Roy starting in aggressive fashion, Shamsi slowed them down. Wickets started to tumble, pressure started to build. Then, came in the out-of-form Liam Livingstone and smacked Kagiso Rabada for 3 humongous consecutive sixes. At the end, with 14 needed off the last over, Rabada claimed a T20 WC hat-trick, all batters caught in the deep, to deliver South Africa a thrilling victory.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Jason Roy

  • Jason Roy was injured midway in the 2019 CWC campaign, and again, he hobbled when England were 38/0. It was so bad that he needed a couple of people on the side to help him walk. At the end of the game, he was seen in crutches. It might be the end of the road for Jason Roy.
  • England have now lost Tymal Mills, Jason Roy along with Ben Stokes & Jofra Archer before the world cup had begun.

Australia Vs West Indies – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #38 Quick Review!

Australia Vs West Indies Quick Review – DJ Bravo (and most likely, Chris Gayle) retires from international cricket in a Warner-induced loss.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Australia Vs West Indies Video Highlights

Toss: Australia won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Langston Rusere & Richard Illingworth

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Australia won by 8 wickets
  • Scores: West Indies 157/7 Australia 161/2
  • Player of the Match: David Warner 89* (56)
  • Best Figures
    • Josh Hazlewood (4-0-39-4)
    • Akeal Hosein (4-0-29-1), Chris Gayle (1-0-7-1)
  • Most Runs
    • Kieron Pollard 44 (31)
    • David Warner 89* (56)

Moments of The Day: Erratic Batting, Warner Special, Retirements Mark Good Cricketing Day

  • Final match for the West Indies, and they started all guns blazing. Few fours for Evin Lewis, 2 sixes for Chris Gayle, West Indies 30/0 in 2 overs. Hazlewood’s first over went for 20.
  • Then came Pat Cummins and took the danger men Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran in over. Hazlewood would himself comeback and take 4 wickets. A few hits by Pollard & Russell ensured WI have a score to defend.
  • Questions on David Warner’s form will now be squashed. A fifty earlier in the tournament and now a commanding 89* (56) with 4 sixes steamrolled the West Indies. Beware of Mitchell Marsh at #3, . He has played some great nocks during this year and 53* (32) with 5 fours and 2 sixes means he is also coming back to form as Australia approach the semis..

Honorable Mention: Andre Russell’s 111 meter six; Dwayne Bravo hits a six in his final innings;

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Legends Retire

  • It is unclear if Chris Gayle has retired or not. He wants to play his final game in front of a Jamaica crowd, so there might be still some gas left in him.
  • Dwayne Bravo, however, has called it a day on his international career, which began way back in 2004. Test debut, 2004 Champions Trophy victory, 2 World T20s, and holds the record for most T20 championships around the world (Pollard second). He will continue to play in T2- leagues ’till his body holds.’
  • During the game, the atmosphere was beautiful. Chris Gayle signing gloves and giving them to the spectators. Cameras around Gayle and Bravo showed a positive mood. Hugs from teammates and oppositions, and Chris Gayle taking a last wicket of his final ball and hugging Mitchell Marsh (Watch the video below).

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE

Umpires: Marais Erasmus & Rod Tucker

Moments of The Day: Collective Bowling Performance, Rahul-Rohit Show Key To Strong Indian Victory

  • Bumrah started by bowling Kyle Coetzer and Scotland never recovered. The pacers, Bumrah & Shami, had combined figures of 6.4-1-25-5.
  • Ravindra Jadeja in the middle broke the back of the Scottish batting. Bowled straight and quick and choked the batting. LBW, B, LWB. Classic Jadeja.
  • The rest was done by India’s opening pair. In order to get ahead of Afghanistan & NZ’s NRR, India needed to chase 89 runs within 43 ball (7.1 overs). As it turns out, India finished it in 39 balls (6.3 overs), thanks to KL Rahul’s 18-ball 50.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Scotland Keep On Drowning

  • After winning 3 in 3 in the qualifying stage, Scotland has looked a class below in the Super 12s. Now the fourth loss in a row, they will want to finish on a high…Except heir last game is against group toppers Pakistan.

New Zealand Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #36 Quick Review!

New Zealand Vs Namibia Quick Review – NZ not perfect but finishers ensure victory.

With a lower NRR than Afghanistan, their final game is now a must win despite already winning 3 in 4.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: New Zealand Vs Scotland  Video Highlights

Toss: Namibia won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, UAE

Umpires: Paul Reiffel & Paul Wilson

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: New Zealand won by 52 runs
  • Scores: New Zealand 163/4 Scotland 111/7
  • Player of the Match: Jimmy Neesham 35* (23) & 1-0-6-1
  • Best Figures
    • Bernard Schotlz (3-0-15-1)
    • Tim Southee (4-0-15-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Glenn Phillips 39* (21)
    • Michael Van Lingen 25 (25)

Moments of The Day: Phillips, Neesham Solidify NZ’s Case

  • NZ’s openers started well with a 30 run partnership in 4 overs before Guptill was caught out. In general, every batter in the NZ side contributed but at a slow SR.
    • Guptill (100), Mitchell (126.66), Williamson (112), Conway (94.44)
  • It was Glenn Phillips (SR 185.71) & Jimmy Neesham (152.17) with a 76* (36) partnership that made sure NZ finished strongly.
  • Tim Southee is not the first bowler you think of for T20s. However, he manages to take wickets somehow (only one of few bowlers with 100+ Tests, ODI, & T20I wickets). A 4-0-15-2 set the tone with a slow powerplay and Namibia could not recover the finishing margin.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Namibia Lose the Plot Again

  • Just like their last game Pakistan Vs Namibia, Namibia had strangled their opposition for most of the innings. At the end of the 16th, NZ were going at a snail’s pace with only 96/4 runs on the board. Last 4 overs yielded 67 runs.
  • In comparison, Namibia were 92/4 at the end of the 16th. They only added 19 runs in the last 4. The finishing between the teams was the difference.
  • Namibia are officially out of the tournament.

Sri Lanka Vs West Indies – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #35 Quick Review!

Sri Lanka Vs West Indies Quick Review – Sharp Sri Lanka ends West Indian T20 legacy.

Sri Lanka are leaving with their heads held high, 5 wins out 8 & a positive brand of cricket. WI depart as an era ends.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Sri Lanka Vs West Indies Video Highlights

Toss: West Indies won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Aleem Dar & Langton Rusere

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Sri Lanka won by 20 runs
  • Scores: Sri Lanka 189/3 West Indies 169/8
  • Player of the Match: Charith Asalanka 68 (41)
  • Best Figures
    • Andre Russell (4-0-33-2)
    • Wanindu Hasaranga (4-0-19-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Charith Asalanka 68 (44)
    • Shimron Hetmyer 81* (54)

Moments of The Day: Sri Lanka Batted Better, Fielded Better, Bowled Better

  • Everyone from Sri Lanka contributed today. Kusal Perera 29 (21) & Pathum Nissanka 51 (41) gave them yet another bright start, but it was Asalanka’a clinical timing and Shanaka’s finishing 25* (14) that gave SL an above-par sore.
  • In every one of these quick summaries, we have mentioned Hasaranga. Sometimes he has contributed with the bat, sometimes with the ball, and sometimes both. Oh and the fielding is pretty good as well. Here is how he fared in the tournament, definitely a player of the tournament contender:
    • 2/24
    • 71 & 1/12
    • 3/9
    • 6 & 0/29
    • 4 & 2/22
    • 4 & 3/20
    • 34 & 3/21
    • 2/19
  • In a must win crunch game, 8 out of the 10 West Indian batters, most of them legends, scored in the single digits. Only the young guns, Nicholas Pooran (age 26) scored 46 (34) and Shimron Hetmyer (age 24) made sure West Indies at least competed. Hetmyer did not give up till the very end, bringing the target down to 35 in 6 balls.

Honorable Mention: Rajapaksa’s diving catch to dismiss Roston Chase & Karunatne’s running catch to dismiss Holder were outstanding

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: The Sun Sets For the Legends

Darren Sammy had repeatedly set on air that these group of West Indian players were aware that this tournament would define their legacies, especially Chris Gayle & Dwayne Bravo. However, Gayle went out for 1 & Bravo for 2 (and only one wicket at an economy rate of 10.50). Bravo is officially retiring from international duty after this World Cup and one can only assume the same with Chris Gayle.

Pollard is still staying although his captaincy status depends on the board. With Pooran, Hetmyer, & Holder (only 29 years old), the leadership group for the next generation is there but rebuilding needs to start now.

In any case, thank you Legends. We love you for all you have given this sport. They have defined the T20 format and made it their own.

Bangladesh Vs Australia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #34 Quick Review!

Bangladesh Vs Australia Quick Review – Australia’s pacers & Zampa expose Bangladesh’s T20 side.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Bangladesh Vs Australia Video Highlights

Toss: Australia won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE

Umpires: Kumar Dharmasena & Nitin Menon

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Australia won by 8 wickets
  • Scores: Bangladesh 73/10 Australia 78/2
  • Player of the Match: Adam Zampa 5/19
  • Best Figures
    • Adam Zampa (4-0-19-5)
    • Shoriful Islam (1-0-9-1)
  • Most Runs
    • Shamim Hossain 19 (18)
    • Aaron Finch 40 (20)

Moments of The Day: All-Round Australia Boost Their NRR

  • Starc set the tone for Australia with a full ball to dismiss Liton Das. Bat and bowled, played on. Next over, Hazelwood to Soumya Sarkar. Played on. Mushfiqur missed a straight one from Maxwell. Then came Zampa and ate up the rest of the middle order. Wicket first ball and then toppled Bangladesh from 62/5 to 73/10.
  • Australia knew that to topple South Africa, they had to boost their NRR. Bowling out Bangladesh was 73 was just the first part (South Africa had bowled Bangladesh for 84). However, Finch’s 40 (20) & Mitchell Marsh’s 16 (5), including a last ball six ensured Australia jump ahead of South Africa.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: One Time An Mistake, Twice An Issue

  • When West Indies were bowled out for 55, we knew it was an aberration, although it showed their weaknesses.
  • Bangladesh’s 84/10 against South Africa could have been brushed aside as an aberration. Last game, no Shakib, I thought we would see a different, more positive Bangladesh. Clearly that was not the case. 73/10 – larger issue is at play. Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar have not flourished despite numerous opportunities. No replacement for the seniors Fab Four either. Where does Bangladesh go from here?
