ICC Champions Trophy 2017

If India keep attacking I think they will score around 220.

Does Jadeja look a way better bowler when he plays alongside Ashwin? Last game, he had to be hidden from bowling. Today he has bowled 10 overs for 39 with a wicket. Ashwin has bowled very well too today. Got Amla and had a run out while he was bowling. Maybe Virat can give an over or two here to Yuvraj and/or Jadhav as today there seems to be more luck for spinners.

There we go! Morris is taken!

Absolutely disappointing performance from South Africa. Poor running I would say they choked!. India fielded great and got their prize.

South African bowlers and fielders really need to perform their skin out to get close in the match. Otherwise, India are the favorites now...

For all the talent they have South Africa really are pathetic in major tournaments.

These small totals can be tricky to chase. How often have we seen the chasing team dropping their guard and paying for it in the end.

I wouldn't lose hope if I was a SA supporter. It's not over till it's over.

Three RunOuts :/
Wonderful.

Such posts I don't pay heed to. There's a difference between debates and goading. Such posters go on my list. Keeps it worthwhile over here.

From an Indian POV, I really hope India include Shami for Jadhav going forward. Our middle overs bowling looks very slim to me.

I think India are doing the right thing and batting Morkel and Rabada out as they impose a bigger threat. Though Rohit's wicket was not needed. Rotating the strike would be the best thing India want to do at this stage, but unfortunately that's not happening.

Some of his shot selection makes me dizzy. He's been an international cricketer for a decade now.

Virat Kohli's wicket is key here for South Africa. They need to get him out early otherwise, his 40 runs can also do the damage since the target is small.

I don't quite understand why Phehlukwayo is playing today. He leaks runs and only takes only a few wickets every match. I would prefer Parnell to play ahead of him becuase Parnell can create more pressure with accuracy and swing, plus he a much better batsman as well.

Maharaj should be playing.

Interesting point made by the comms about Kohli consciously trying to avoid the cover region. Has been dragging shots from 4th/5th stump line to onside.

Not sure bowling Tahir in these conditions is the right thing to do at the moment. Would've given Rabada another couple overs just to test Dhawan/Kohli.
