Impressive bowling from Willey,Stokes and Broad,never gave them any chance to settle
 
It was a disappointing performance from us. 2 main batsmen were run out? Come on! That's some poor performance. Raina and Dhawan helped us reach a decent score. And bowling was pathetic. Rishi went for runs again! We are finding it difficult to get one good all round performance. Need to do some changes for the next match.
 
The best thing would be not to keep neglecting your wicket taking bowlers or not dropping someone really better than Varun Aaron! Even worse. Just saying.

Also, it's always good to keep faith in your best batsman just because he's 'best'. Try changing his position in batting order rather than drop him. Just Saying.

Also, I found it way too unrealistic that how people didn't make full use of spinners throughout this league. The sim has been quite unreal too, I agree, the striking bowlers get all the wickets. Yet, those who have got better abilities and come late to bowl, at least try to not concede much if not take wickets. (Spinners)[DOUBLEPOST=1455966778][/DOUBLEPOST]

Fun factor: Your opponent did not take much risk against your wicket taking bowlers, rather they made that one guy their target.:p

SECOND INNINGS:
West Indies needed 112 runs from 20.0 overs to win
Code:
0.1  Josh Hazlewood to Chris Gayle, Biffed down to long-off, easy single.  (1)
0.2  Josh Hazlewood to Dwayne Smith, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0)
0.3  Josh Hazlewood to Dwayne Smith, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though.  (1)
0.4  Josh Hazlewood to Chris Gayle, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2)
0.5  Josh Hazlewood to Chris Gayle, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0)
0.6  Josh Hazlewood to Chris Gayle, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)

1.1  Mitchell Starc to Dwayne Smith, Inside edge, and past the stumps. The batsmen take a quick single  (1)
1.2  Mitchell Starc to Chris Gayle, , No Ball. Easy single.  (1)
1.2  Mitchell Starc to Dwayne Smith, Very well bowled.  (0)
1.3  Mitchell Starc to Dwayne Smith, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3)
1.4  Mitchell Starc to Chris Gayle, EDGED AND TAKEN! Safe pair of hands there behind the stumps, he doesn't drop many of those!

2.2  Josh Hazlewood to Darren Bravo, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot!  (4)
2.3  Josh Hazlewood to Darren Bravo, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0)
2.4  Josh Hazlewood to Darren Bravo, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3)
2.5  Josh Hazlewood to Dwayne Smith, Hammered down the ground. Two more.  (2)

3.1  Mitchell Starc to Darren Bravo, Thick inside edge there, but the umpire still gives it! Unbelievable! Zorax probably has a bet riding on this game, cause there is no way that was out!

Top 4 teams will be qualified for Semi-finals.

37th Match, 7th Super: South Africa v New Zealand at Chandigarh
Pitch: Flat

38th Match, 8th Super: Australia v England at Kolkata
Pitch: Hard

39th Match, 9th Super: India v West Indies at Delhi
Pitch: Dusty

Hard - A hard pitch with a lot of bounce on offer, and will suit batsmen who play on the back foot well. The ball is bound to reverse swing in the end.
Uneven - Great pitch for teams batting first, and bowlers who can bowl reverse swingers later in the innings. Ideal to produce matches like this.
Sticky - Offers no swing, spin or seam whatsoever. The worst pitch to play cricket on.
Flat - It's simply a road.
Slow - Slow pitch, the ball comes on to the bat late. But runs can be scored quite easily off the bowlers once set.
Dusty - Great pitch for spinners and all sorts of batsmen.
Green - A heaven for fast bowlers and players who play on the back foot well.

Just take a look at post above.

Not an accurately calculated guess: seemingly West Indies are through, and DOA situation for all others. NZ have to come up with something Bizarre if they wanna continue. Otherwise, SA may just proceed with a safe win. Everyone still has a chance, no one has been knocked out yet. Probably just winning can earn the ticket to anyone except NZ.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first
FIRST INNINGS:
Code:
0.1  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, , Byes, another 4 run(s)  (4)
0.2  Trent Boult to Quinton de Kock, , Leg Byes, another 1 run(s)  (1)
0.3  Trent Boult to Quinton de Kock, Hammered down the ground. Two more.  (2)
0.4  Trent Boult to Quinton de Kock, Good running, two runs.  (2)
0.5  Trent Boult to Quinton de Kock, , Leg Byes, another 2 run(s)  (2)
0.6  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2)


End of over 1
South Africa    13/0 (RR : 13)
Hashim Amla     2 (1b)
Quinton de Kock     4 (2b)
Trent Boult    1-0-6-0


1.1  Mitchell McClenaghan to Quinton de Kock, That's a single.  (1)
1.2  Mitchell McClenaghan to Hashim Amla, 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)
1.3  Mitchell McClenaghan to Hashim Amla, Very well bowled.  (0)
1.4  Mitchell McClenaghan to Hashim Amla, 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)
1.5  Mitchell McClenaghan to Quinton de Kock, He tried to go over the top but doesn't connect well. However, it's placed in the gap the ball trickles away for four.  (4)
1.6  Mitchell McClenaghan to Quinton de Kock, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4)


End of over 2
South Africa    25/0 (RR : 12.5)
Quinton de Kock     13 (5b)
Hashim Amla     5 (4b)
Mitchell McClenaghan    1-0-12-0


2.1  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)
2.2  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2)
2.3  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, Short and pulled away for a single  (1)
2.4  Trent Boult to Quinton de Kock, One more to the total.  (1)
2.5  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, Clipped off the legs, the batsmen get two.  (2)
2.6  Trent Boult to Hashim Amla, Very well bowled.  (0)


End of over 3
South Africa    31/0 (RR : 10.3)
Hashim Amla     10 (9b)
Quinton de Kock     14 (6b)

3.1  Mitchell McClenaghan to Quinton de Kock, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single  (1)
3.2  Mitchell McClenaghan to Hashim Amla,   (0) He's skied it, too high, there's a fielder coming under it, takes it comfortably!

3.3  Mitchell McClenaghan to Farhaan Behardien, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)
3.4  Mitchell McClenaghan to Farhaan Behardien, Short and pulled away for a single  (1)
3.5  Mitchell McClenaghan to Quinton de Kock, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three.  (4)
3.6  Mitchell McClenaghan to Farhaan Behardien, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4)

2.3  Dale Steyn to Martin Guptill, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4)
2.4  Dale Steyn to Martin Guptill, Hit outside off stump, no shot offered, he’s given him!
