Post Line-ups World T20: The greatest final in cricket history

[ddrap14]

I plan on doing Group B this weekend. Then semis and final next week. Just FYI for timing, sorry for the general absence, a number of factors at play

World T20, Group 2 Match 13
Overall Match 40
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka
@TSPrathik @Till Valhalla
Winner qualifies, loser is reliant on other results (and are out without any question if Pakistan win)
Venue: Mumbai

Toss: NZ won and chose to bowl



Shehan Jayasuriya's anchor knock and Dickwella's quick innings got Sri Lanka to a defendable total.



Despite the best efforts of Finn Allen and Martin Guptill, Sri Lanka (led by the slinger) have made the semis! NZ are now reliant on Pakistan losing, and even then I haven't a clue what the three way tie breaker is

SL 5/146 (20)
NZ 5/145 (20)
SL win by 1 run
MOTM: Lasith Malinga

World T20, Group 2 Match 14
Overall Match 41
India vs Scotland
@Parth D @PresidentEvil
India's inability to beat the biggest fish here means they are already out, but losing to Scotland would be a new low
Venue: Bangalore

Toss: Scotland won and chose to bat



Maybe Jasprit Bumrah's ill-form was a leading cause of India's struggles. In any case, demolishing Scotland put a good ending on a bad tournament for him.



A lightning fifty for KL Rahul got India home comfortably.

SCO 9/97 (20)
IND 1/101 (13.1)
India win by 9 wickets
MOTM: Jasprit Bumrah

World T20, Group 2 Game 15
Overall Match 42
Pakistan vs South Africa
@CerealKiller
Pakistan win and they, not South Africa or New Zealand, are in.
@NePtuNe Gaming
South Africa have to win. Then there will be a three way tie. Unless there's a clear H2H winner, there will likely have to be a playoff...
Venue: Ahmedabad

Toss: Pakistan won and chose to bowl



South Africa did well to bounce back from a sticky situation through Bavuma and Rassie. The question is, what would they have scored if not for Shaheen Afridi and his destructive nature?



History repeats.

SAF 7/136 (20)
PAK 114 (17.1)
South Africa win by 22 runs
MOTM: Rassie van der Dussen

 

[ddrap14]

Semi Final 1 will be West Indies @mohsin7827 vs Sri Lanka @Till Valhalla

Semi Final 2 will be Australia @ddrap14 vs Yet to be Determined (hopefully I will have the tiebreaker ready within 24 hours)

Rassie had to fire at some point, was unlike someone of his calibre to fail that many times.

 

[CerealKiller]

Typical of the batsmen to let down the bowlers

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Adios amigos.

Because translation is a must

 

[TSPrathik]

Williamson's form has been a huge concern

 

[ddrap14]

Ok so after consulting all three managers, it's been agreed that we'll have a three way playoff for the remaining Group B spot. So @TSPrathik @CerealKiller @Neptune can you guys please post your lineups for the playoffs.

 

[CerealKiller]

Unchanged for me. Don't have better players on the bench.

 

[TSPrathik]

we'll go same, Williamson has to step-up

 

[Till Valhalla]

Winner qualifies, loser is reliant on other results (and are out without any question if Pakistan win)

I thought I was already qualified.

maybe will post after the tie breaker.

 

[Neptune]

Was so close to dropping shamsi but will stay unchanged. Rassie was also going to be dropped but I really can't do that after a motm performance

 

[ddrap14]

I thought I was already qualified.

maybe will post after the tie breaker.

You're in. You had to win that match, and you did.

Of course you could be getting the groups and Super 12 confused (I don't blame you, couldn't they have come up with better names?)
