Matches Posted World Twenty20 Championship (PC Style): Tour STATS on #339

Can those 3 runs and 10 balls give us a place through?
 
Wickets don't count in NRR, only runs and overs do. I think the way NZ lost two games, they should have done something really extreme.
 
We showed who we are. Finally Kane scored some runs. Baz was awesome as usual.

Wow. It was an amazing chase. After seeing their total, I thought we would loose this game too. But, Uthappa and Kohli were right on the target. They played very well. I think the main reason for our win is Jadeja. He bowled 4 overs and he gave away only 18 runs. That's classic bowling. This win is very important to us.

Mark at least SIX bowlers. Also make sure to include a genuine :wk:/:wkb: Wicket-Keeper.

You have 72 hours from now. If lineup is not posted within 72 hours, it will be retained from last round. (With random changes in case you received injury during previous round)

Injuries did not take place during previous rounds.

Note: 3rd place play-off is canceled due to some reason. So, sum of third place winner's money and fourth place winner's money would be equally distributed to the semi-final losers.

Only 1 change. Shami is back for Yadav. And Yuvi goes back to #4 position. We hope Rohit Sharma bats well this match. He hasn't performed well recently. And we will win this if Robin, Kohli, Yuvi continues their form. Australia is always tough, but we are confident. Bowlers have to give their best in this match. Depending on the spin trio- Jaddu, Ash, Bhajji.

@User2010 to confirm
 
A well run league, ChaitS. Loved to participate in it. We dominated the group stages but failed in the next 6. Waiting for the sum 2(1.2+0.5) of 1.7M to be transferred to me and @Aravind.
 
Brilliant batting there by Robin and Kohli. They got off to a flier and I thought the bowlers have given away too many early on but they managed to pull it back a bit. The chase was on after Rohit hammered the first over for 15 runs.

That seems a good XI to me. Let's keep going with the momentum.
