The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 90
 Wickets : 10
 Overs : 14.4

James+Anderson+Paul+Collingwood+England+v+7IA0qps9KInl.jpg


England bowlers provide too much for the Pakistani batsmen as only 4 batsmen scored in double figures and their full team was all out on 90 and the home side registered over 100 runs win. England became the first team to qualify for the next stage and this has left the perfect chance for the Dutch to qualify. James Anderson was the lead of England bowlers who got 3 wickets.

LINEUP LAWS
​
1. Make sure you pick 11 players, Which must include a wicketkeeper:wk: and at least 5 bowling options:bwl:.
2. Managers can only pick from their squads only. No Outside players are allowed.
​

Guys, it would be great if I get the lineup as early as possible. Now the competition in the groups has been opened and it would become more exciting. Standings are updated on the original post (without NRR will do it soon).

As @Pinch hitter is offline for a significant amount of time, I'm taking his same line-up for the match. Although, if someone is interested can co-manage his team with him.

0.3  Boyd Rankin to Junaid Siddique, , No Ball. 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)
0.3  Boyd Rankin to Tamim Iqbal, Easy single.  (1)
0.4  Boyd Rankin to Junaid Siddique, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1)
0.5  Boyd Rankin to Tamim Iqbal, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0)
0.6  Boyd Rankin to Tamim Iqbal, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4)

19.1  Nuwan Kulasekara to Michael Hussey, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)
19.2  Nuwan Kulasekara to Michael Hussey, , Wide, one run  (1)
19.2  Nuwan Kulasekara to Michael Hussey, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two.  (2)
19.3  Nuwan Kulasekara to Michael Hussey,   (0) That was travelling like a rocket, but somehow the fielder has managed to hold on! Nice catch.

19.6  Nuwan Kulasekara to James Hopes,   (0) Ah, great ball. It bounced more than the batsman expected it to, causing him to check his shot at the last moment and lob the ball into the air for an easy catch.

Sri Lanka vs. Australia
Australia - 175/8 in 20.0 overs.
Sri Lanka - 131/10 in 19.1 overs.
Australia wins the match by 44 runs
Man of the Match- Mitchell Johnson




​
 
That over from Johnson changed the course of the game. Johnson = <3
 
For Australia to qualify, let's hope West Indies defeat Sri Lanka in the next game.
 
That was a very poor outing
We reduced from 29/1 to 32/5 in one over!
Should have done better
