Brilliant knock from captain fantastic for the Proteas. By far the greatest skipper that the Proteas have ever had

That is only when you exclude Hansie Cronje.
 

The Proteas hold all the cards they can even afford to lose and still qualify for the semi finals, but only they are capable of really messing it all up by losing heavily thus allowing Afghanistan to slip into 2hd place on NRR

Lets see

Great start 2/20 need to get Root early now 

3 down for 37 Jansen ripping through the top order 

 

Root missed run out on nought then dropped on 3. Watch him make a 100 now 

What a catch by Jansen 4/99 

103/5 Root cleaned bowled Hope that Buttler does not go out in a blaze of glory (which usually is the case when somebody is playing their last match for the country)

129/7 another great catch this time Ngidi 

Proteas into the semi finals even if they are 20 all out 

By allowing India to play all of their matches in Dubai has given them an unfair advantage over all of the other teams. The ICC should have told them that if they don’t want to play in Pakistan then they won’t be able to compete but they did not as we all know that the Indian Cricket Board runs world cricket and only because they hold the financial strings. 

Please Australia go out there and beat them tomorrow. 

Come on the Proteas 

Pakistan cricket board spent a lot of money in revamping the stadium in Lahore. Pity that Pakistan had to play one of their matches in Dubai in order a please the self entitled Indian team. Extremely poor attendances have  not helped and now the final will be played away from the host nation . No doubt that when the World Cup 2027 comes around India will inform the ICC where they will be based and a what ground they will play at. So Namibia and Zimbabwe cricket board if you want to make plenty of money prepare a pitch that will suit India and build a luxury  complex with all the trimmings. You won’t be sorry
