Afghanistan 272-8 off 500

India 87-0 off 9 overs of which Ishan Kishan has made 10 off 16 balls. Sharma is 71* off 38.0

A batting masterclass from Rohit Sharma - 131 off 84 balls0

Watching the match today and the Afghanistan bowling should not pose many problems for England.
But they can bat a bit so our bowling attack has to be on form if we want to improve our net RR.2 -
India win by 8 wickets with 15 overs to spare0
-
So who do we (England) want to win tomorrow?
SA or Australia?0 -

Well that was my initial thought, but IF Aus are "weak" and not going to be in the final 4, then maybe SA are more of a danger to us?Pelling1993 said:

Tomorrow is a fascinating game for me.
Can SA bat, like they did against SL, against that attack and how do Australia bat against a weaker attack than India's?
We can look at bilateral series but they weren't in a world cup and they weren't in India.
I think it's unlikely that both these teams get to the semis so tomorrow's game is massive.0 -
I think it's too early to tell which teams will be our rivals for the knockout stages, such is the interminable length of this group stage!Covered End said:So who do we (England) want to win tomorrow?

We should aim to beat them both. But, in answer to your first question, SA.Covered End said:

(Rule of thumb: always support whoever Australia or Palace are playing).You’re right about Palace, of course, but I’d cheer on Oz against India every time. Can’t stand them.Not India or Indians in general, just the cricket team.1 -

If India were playing Australia in India, I'd marginally support Australia.

SA's top 7, on current form, is as good as any in the competition - they average overall 44 at a strike rate of over a run a ball. Their weakness is that they only have the one decent spinner. Australia are in much the same boat so far as balance is concerned and their main spinner, Zampa, is not anywhere near as consistent as he was in previous years. The Aussies might also have another issue (and it sounds bizarre given that they are ranked so highly in Test cricket) and that is the prospect of having Smith and Labuschagne batting together for any period of time if neither of them is actually able to put the foot down when circumstances dictate that they should.Cafc43v3r said:Tomorrow is a fascinating game for me.

Whatever happens it should be a great game.0 -

I think The Aus batting line up is not as strong as others and potentially SA are marginally stronger and therefore more danger to England.
Although I will obviously want Aus to lose.0 -
Why mainly only one game a day at present ?0

Australia win the toss and have asked South Africa to bat. Australia have dropped Carey for Inglis plus Stoinis for Green and SA have brought in Shamsi as the extra spinner0

80-0 off 150

Bavuma out to Maxwell for 35 (55). De Kock still there on 67* (63)
108-1 off 200 -
Zampa has VDD caught at long on by the sub, Abbott, for 26 (30)
158-2 off 28.3
de Kock 90* (86)0 -
Australia have only themselves to blame - three or four chances have gone down now. In the previous game, having been 2-3, Marsh dropped Kohli when he was on 12.0

de Kock gets his second ton of the tournament - 100* (90)
171-2 off 302 -
It's been a distressing morning watching those catches go down 3

de Kock bizarrely plays on attempting to play a switch hit off Maxwell for 109 (106). He was starting to cramp up and might not be a bad time to get Klassen in as it will give him a couple of overs to have a look before launching his usual assault
197-3 off 350 -
Have to say Maxwell has been Australia's best bowler in the WC with figures to date of 16-1-59-20
-
Even Maxwell is doing his nuts at the fielding as one player escorts the ball instead of diving on it0
-
Maxwell finishes with figures of 10-1-34-2 and he didn't go for a single boundary0
