[DOUBLEPOST=1586090203][/DOUBLEPOST]This lineup could do wonders, provided we get a good start from Smith and Gibbs.

There’s a deep batting till 8. (I don’t know why Wayne Parnell is mentioned as a bowler, he also has a T20 Century)

 

[Champagnepapi]

Ah unlucky lads we played well, main goal is to cause an upset at some point, we’ll give the lads another go they’ll be pumping after giving a Kiwis a good run for their money. Same lineup.

0.1  Rubel Hossain to Gautam Gambhir, BANG! The batsman absolutely nailed that shot! Luckily for the bowler there is a man in the deep, so only two runs.  (2)
0.2  Rubel Hossain to Gautam Gambhir, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 163
 Wickets : 6
 Overs : 20.0

Scotland gave a very tight competition to the last time's hosts and just fell short of the required target by 7 runs. Neil McCallum single-handedly changed the game by scoring 74 who got out when they just needed 9. So, Scotland became the first side to face elimination in this year's T20 World cup but everyone in their camp would proud of their performances against the big boys of the game.

Ah unlucky lads that was one heck of a challenge to one heck of a side, really unlucky not to come out with the result as we were the better team, had Poonia kicked on from the last game this would have been a different game.
