Younis Khan again played really well.South Africa needed 358 runs in 29 overs which is impossible.Only two things can happen, 1.Batting collapse by South Africa & gifting the win to Pakistan. 2.A draw.

@ARKRafay @Saroj padhy @Baahubali @Raghu​

 

[Pinch hitter]

Pakistan played well in this match, compare to us... Win is impossible and we will very happy with Draw, which look likes will happen...

 

[Fenil]

Instead of going for same side of Elgar, Rossouw, Parnell, Philander and Peterson, it'd have been a good change if RSA had Stephen Cook, Kyle Abbott, Simon Harmer, Ryan McLaren and Hardus Viljoen. Would've been fun.

Post Lineup's for:

Group B
(Match 4) England (vs) Australia
@ Lord's Cricket Ground

Pitch Report: The pitch & conditions around will definitely help the swing bowlers & there is little amount of assistance for spin bowlers as well, but there is only very little assistance for the guys who relays mostly on pace.In batting wise, the guys who have good technique will be key on this pitch.

Lineup must contain at least 5 players who can & one

Maxi will remain as captain, as you can't change captain in the middle of the league, but he can be dropped.

As there is no response, i will stimulate match according to the lineup of @greymatter776
