T20 World Cup Live from Dallas, Texas

Decent total to defend What's tge forecast for the Australian Scotland match?

 

Rain probably!

 

Which will make the result of this immaterial!

 

It’s a night game at gros islet, St Lucia - starts at 1:30 our time. 8:30pm their time.

Dark, warm, 0% chance of rain

 

How many overs are needed of Namibia innings to make a match?

 

5

 

Will the awful D/L thing be used again to decide a winner, or could it just be scrapped as another No result (and a point each).

 

It will be D/L now if it's not concluded.
I'm watching BBC sports Web. How are Namibia doing in relation to D/L?

 

All over, comfortable win, improved net run rate too.

Just need the Aussies to win. Can’t see them not doing so - it would look decidedly dodgy if they lost after Josh Hazelwood’s words the other day.

Our NRR is too high for Australia to try and knock us out by only winning by say 1 run. The only ways we can go out now is rain or Scotland becoming the first associate nation to beat Australia at a World Cup since Zimbabwe 41 years ago. Australia won't dare to lose now after their week of banter.

At the moment it's looking like we will be in a group with India, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

 

Afghanistan looking really good this tournament.

 

I don't trust anything right now, with what's happened in this tournament so far, nothing is certain!.
IF we do make it through, then I admit we've been more than a bit lucky. Let's see what attitude the Ozzies have tomorrow.

 

Really good team. Taliban are holding back their potential. If they allowed Afghanistan to have a womens team they would get international games against test nations. Obviously if it was their home series it would have to be played in the UAE. Australia were going to play them but banning women from Cricket stopped them. Gurbaz is one of the heaviest hitters in the game and his 18 year old brother Masood is coming through and played in this incredibly high scoring game the other day.

This is shocking by Australia, pathetic is an understatement. They are making Scotland look like the best t20 team in cricket history.

 

Bloody hell, that was a let off for us

 

Head and Stoinis saved us. Our situation wasn't helped by Hazzlewood and Cummins both being rested. Green still couldn't get a game. That last over looked pretty iffy plodding it around for singles and then if David had been caught like he should have it could have been different.

Could have put your mortgage on Warner getting his first failure of the tournament when we wanted him to get a score. A player for Scotland getting a record amount of sixes anyone has ever got against Australia looked iffy too.

 

I didnt manage to see the game but is there no credit to the Scots then for making a great effort.
Tbh They tonked us all over the place. 90-0 after 10 overs And were looking set a big target. The weather may have saved us.

 

One very close shave. Sounds like the Aussies did their best to lose without making it obvious.

 

Close.


Windies, South Africa and USA....

 

Yes, you’re right. A lot of credit does go to the Scots. I’d have argued they were the favourites when the target jumped from 91 in 10 overs to 107.
