South African sides Titans and Knights set a new world record score of 501, the highest amount of runs scored in a Twenty20 match.

Let's hope Dewald Brevis continues with and realises his potential. It'll be interesting to see him in international cricket

I see the BCCI have got their way. Umpires have got this game started too soon after the rain

yep. same as in the SA/Zim hame the other day though.

it's poor officiating.

come on Afghan!

Don't worry, we have no chance of matching the run rate.
And if you don't beat Sri Lanka you don't deserve to be there.

agreed. any team that loses to Ireland and Sri Lanka wouldn't deserve to go through.

always nice to see the Aussies stuffed though

I would have preferred to won or lost in our washout.
The weather has been so shit the last month.
Only just clearing up.

yea that would have been a brilliant game. such a shame about the weather.

as i write, afghanistan have lost another. their batting is very light, Aus could get a 60 odd run win here.

 

[funkycoldmedina]

If Afghanistan's batting was a little deeper this could be a really close game

 

[midoshairband]

jeez, they've lost their heads here. utterly brainless.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Sri Lanka have started really well here

yep, great start. this will end up being a really difficult chase. trial by spin!

 

[midoshairband]

Woakes bowling a weird leg stump line. good balls going for 1, easy pickings so far.

 

[cider spurs]

Well taken catch.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Powerplay over, now lets see.

 

[midoshairband]

big wicket. Rashid has been brilliant today.

 

[midoshairband]

the spinners have bowled well - which doesn't bode well for our innings.

anything near 150 an incredibly tough chase.

 

[midoshairband]

brilliant second 10 from England - Rashid, Curran, Wood all brilliant.

squeaky bum time now ?

Sri Lanka have bat themselves out of this game in the last several overs. Should be 170+.
