Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland

Was so hoping for a SA win  ..... so now both PAK & SA on 6 points with one game each to come ... SA v UAE and PAK v IRE

Is this correct? 

Oh well will try and follow a bit of the IRE v ZIM match now

Thanks. We should still make the quarter-final because our remaining match is against the UAE. Not sure where we'll finish in the group now, and I'm not too confident about how much further we'll go in the competition. We need to change something, but I'm not sure what.

Quinton de Kock's form is a big problem, but playing AB as wicket-keeper would be risky. Maybe a change of batting order would help de Kock. Still doesn't solve the problem of the fifth bowler though.

Yes, those are correct.

Who knew that Pakistan would cause an upset? Pakistan ha clearly secured their spot in the next round after this win today and now the final spot is between the West Indies and Ireland. Ireland has India and Pakistan to play and so I think the Wets Indies are very lucky because I believe Ireland will no win either of these matches. Even if Ireland were to win 1 game then they would more than likely end on 6 points as the West Indies should the West Indies win against the UAE. West Indies will have the better net runrate and so would go through.

I would so rather hear this sort of honest comment instead of the usual nonsense .... like 'going back to the drawing board' and the usual non-committal crap etc. like WI chat ..just take responsibility !!

Say it like it is even if a bit harsh ..... 'I've got nothing good to say about our performance' says AB.... Source

Forecast is a wash out so they may share 1 point each
