[Foley]

What a start for Bangladesh.
Put in and 58 without loss in just 7.3 overs.

You cursed them.

 

[Foley]

The crowds in the WC have been very good.
Good to see many Countries well supported.

 

[Gary Baldi]

SA are struggling a bit. Nto bowling well, not fielding well and Bangladesh are taking their opportunities. Ngidi is off injured and some of their bits and pieces cricketers are looking like bits and pieces players.

A good surface to bat on though...

 

[Foley]

Bangladesh could well get to 300.
Game on...

 

[Gary Baldi]

Tahir has just got a couple of wickets, but Bangladesh should be looking at 300+

good shout @Gary Baldi .... SA already 'behind' on comparative run rates etc ... first proper upset likely?

 

[Sarge]

see that De Kock was out .............. for 23 runs

Classic South Africa [emoji23]

 

[Sarge]

SA 112-2 into the 21st over

 

[unification]

Du Plessis bowled! Big test for the Saffers now.

Bangladesh, so often the whipping boys and sometimes deserving of that status, can trouble sides. I think what we have learned about South Africa so far is that they haven’t much of a batting tail. Hence the pressure on Miller and van den Dussen will be big now.

 

[Sarge]

Sa 147 -3 in 27th over .... match in the balance now, next ten overs could define how this finishes?

 

[Andy Stroud]

Could be the first close game of the competition.

 

[Sarge]

missing that catch could prove a pivotal moment?

 

[Sarge]

Sa not helping themselves ...required run rate over 8 per over now!

 

[Sarge]

... and another missed catch by Bangladesh

 

[makv]

Sa not helping themselves ...required run rate over 8 per over now!

8 should be perfectly doable. It’s going to be about wickets.

 

[Sarge]

8 should be perfectly doable. It’s going to be about wickets.

... especially if Bangladesh fielding doesn't improve

 

[Sarge]

202 -4 ..... looking like a T20 type finale then

 

[Foley]

Nearly 10 an over now.
Bangladesh really should win this now.

 

[Sarge]

few more maximums from SA will make it an exciting last 12 overs

 

[Sarge]

SA 228-5 ...match must be swinging in Bangladesh favour with 10 overs (& a bit) to go?

 

[Foley]

Bangladesh look a very decent side. A good batting line up and decent spinners. It will be j terestingto see how they fo against for example the WIs who will try and bounce them out and hit them out of the ground!

WI v Bangladesh is the one I'm going to watch live (17 June Taunton) .... therefore I hope so

Could be a cracking game Sarge. Both may still be in with a shout.

TBH it was one of the few I could make it to watch ...and the cheapest ticket prices at £20 was the clincher

So far ( early days) West Indies and Bangladesh are looking decent and competitive

 

[Sarge]

SA 256-6 with 7.1overs to score 79

 

[Sarge]

SA need 63 runs from 5 overs .... grandstand finish it is then?

 

[Sarge]

SA 275-7 ... just 4.1 overs left ...... 56 runs needed for SA to beat Bangladesh

Bangladesh added 54 runs in their final 4 overs batting

most exciting match in the cricket world cup so far

Could be a great game @Sarge
