All hopes of South are on Australia A now. It will be a high pressure game for them. The players had looked in a pretty good touch the last match. They might want to gear up their bowling against the strong English attack.

On the other hand, England Lions have been the champs of the tournament, they haven't lost a single match in the tourney and their hunger for runs will continue.

It will be interesting to see a thriller tomorrow, so be present here, same time, to witness the biggest match of the tourney till now LIVE.
 
whew! that was close. Kudos to the bowlers for defending such a low score on a normal pitch. Still with the same old problems with the openers cant afford to drop them though because they are too experienced. Any chance Amla can come back from national duty? :D

That leaves it on Australia now, England might go in as favourites but if this turns out be a close encounter expect Australia's experience to trump England's form.
 
Really awesome to see my team chasing that total well. In 34 overs is really good tbh.

Also South Africa thank you for that win, we definitely cannot lose this round :)(
 
Oh man never thought SL would screw up chasing such a modest total. A win would have meant victory for North in the series :facepalm

Round 1

North 4-0 South

Round 2

North 2-2 South

Round 3

North 2-2 South

North have won the North-South war by 1-0. The points table will decide the highest NRR team of both sides which will compete in a final showdown and decide the Warlords.

I'll compile the NRR to decide the teams, until then feedbacks are appreciated.:)
 
whoooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

North won it, now coming to final showdown.:D India will be there though this match will hurt us a bit as Lions just smashed them. should still be lower than us but can't say.

India A and West Indies A will compete in a final showdown which will decide the ultimate Warlord of the league.
 
I'll wait for the lineups till tomorrow. Post them in the thread itself, if changed.
 
Oh man happy with the win for North but cant believe we havent made it to the final showdown. Calculated the NRR myself where i found out that we were 9 balls late in chasing down the target .But i am really proud of my boys who have done so well to win all their matches including warmups since the new season began. Also not to forget , INDIA A were thrashed and tamed by the LIONS in all 3 formats when they toured us last season ;)
So one word i would like to say is : Good luck West Indies A :p

Haarithan added 4 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

Cookie and Hildreth could have played a bit faster :facepalm
 
INDIA A were thrashed and tamed by the LIONS in all 3 formats when they toured us last season

and I think I changes nearly 6 players who made the difference and India A has thrashed every opponent.


Just to tell you guys:
India A is unbeaten from 3 matches and 3 warmups. And more to the fact, they have thrashed everyone in their road including senior India team, Mumbai Indians and West Indies A twice.
