2002 WCC Knockout Trophy

Yup. Was expecting something like this. We really let go after losing our 2nd wicket. South Africa was always going to be ahead of us considering their form and Rudi Struwig made sure to demonstrate why he is the no. 1 ODI bowler. August Eklund should have taken charge when South Africa were into our tail. Need to find a lower-order batter soon for matches like this.

Congratulations to South Africa @RUDI . Rooting for you guys to finally win a trophy!

Indeed an instant classic :cheers Have we finally broken the "choker"tag?

Fanie Steyn kick-started the come back with the wicket of Niels Hjort .... quickly followed by the danish skipper Aksel Johansson ... I honestly thought Denmark had the game ... I mean ... all those upgrades ...

Well played Denmark @Paranoid Kendroid and great match @Na Maloom Afraad :clap

Wonderful, wonderful bowling results in the self-implosion of Mithun Parag! South Africa did very well to dry up the runs in a phase of the game where they are very easy to come by, leading to Mithun Parag trying audacious things, only to have his middle stump ripped apart and sent tumbling away to Mark Janssen by Morne Kleynhans.

India will feel shortchanged a good 30/40 runs considering their standing at the 40-overs mark, but a remarkable come back from the South African bowlers kept India down to a chaseable total for their batters. Commanding fifties from Vijay Kambli, Varun Muzumdar, Mithun Parag and Vikas Samant, but no batter could convert that into a hundred.

For South Africa, Pierre Struwig and Fanie Steyn were quite effective on a pitch not conducive to bowling in the slightest, bagging 3 wickets each. While their captain Rudi Struwig, the leading-wicket taker of the tournament, went wicketless and conceded 55 runs in his 10.0 overs.
