All SA have to do is beat the Netherlands As I am known around these parts as the Earl of Hats why not The Earl of Cardigans win today?

If it rains then it brings most wins into play and since SA could potentially have had 2 rained out matches and 2 wins, Pakistan would go through with 3 wins and 2 losses...

Need to check the weather for last SA and Pakistan matches...

Weather is fine for Sunday, sunny with 5% chance of rain.

We should win against Netherlands but strange results have happened in sport.

If points are level it goes down to net run rate

Net run rate only comes into play if the teams have the same amount of wins. Whoever wins the game between Pakistan and Bangladesh can go through provided Netherlands beat South Africa but that will be a mountain to climb for Netherlands. If our game is washed out, we are out but the weather forecast is good.

Appears that SA will play NZ in one semi and India will play Australia or England.

Final SA v India

Australia scoring at over 10 an over but are 3 down. They are either going to be bowled out for 140 or score over 200

Looks like Sri Lanka needs to do Australia a favour but first they need to beat Afghanistan. 86/4 in the 11th over.

Will India lose to Zimbabwe so that they avoid England in the semis or do they believe that they can beat them

If India lose and Pakistan and SA win, India would be out...as India would have 6 points, SA would get to 7 points and Pakistan would also get to 6 points but with better Net RR for same number of wins...

Don't matter who they are to play in semis, India would want to get through first...

Thanks tnaicker that clears it up for me yes they in all probability will need to win

SA lose to the Netherlands :lol: :lol: , chokers will always be chokers

RSA are out.we lost the game against the Dutch.lol.How bad is our captain.Wins the toss and asks them to bat first knowing we playing with a batsman short because he is absolutely useless in this format of cricket.

India through regardless...

If India win, they top the group and play England...winner of Pakistan and Bangladesh will be runners up and play NZ...
If India lose and Pakistan win, then Pakistan top the group on NRR and play England and India will play NZ
If India lose and Bangladesh win, then India top the group on NRR and play England and Bangladesh will play NZ...

India playing last enables them to "choose" outcome...:whistle:

Who cares anymore about this SA team?...were always behind what Netherlands had at then same stage...no-one wanted to get SA ahead of the game...all playing for themselves and their spot in the team...I'm relieved that I temper my expectations so disappointment is very very very limited...
