Nice win today against SL alibratt. Sets you up for tomorrow and a crack at top spot! Good luck

[alibratt]

cheers Simmo, we'll give it a shot, there is a bit of a gap in NRR but with IND and WI playing each other a WI win would help us, just have to make sure we win and then see what happens

[simmo014]

41.5WShelley to Baisya : [catch] Brute from Shelley. How do you play a ball like that? Banged in and well directed, Baisya falls backward as he tries to sway out of the way. The ball flicks off his gloves and balloons up in the air. van der Post is alert in the slips cordon and rushes forward, diving full length to wrap his hands under the ball.A. Baisya c D. van der Post b. S. Shelley 5 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR:100.00

42.2WCooper to Haque : [runout] Haque plays the ball on the on side and sets off for a quick single, but Bonds sends him back!. Haque is caught in no man's land here as Mann swoops in like an osprey for the kill, picks the ball up one handed and throws to van Ryneveld, who whips the bails off. Out by a country mile.T. Haque run out (X. Mann) 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

well thats 2 of them
End of over 43 (3 runs) - Bangladesh(194-9). 23 runs required from 7 overs. RR 4.51 RRR 3.29

[alibratt]

44.3WCooper to Bonds : [runout] Oh here's trouble. Bonds plays that gently out to mid wicket and sets off to run. A loud NO from Chopra is largely ignore until it's too late. van der Post has time to run in and take off the bails leaving Bonds stranded.B. Bonds run out (D. van der Post) 12 (17b 0x4 0x6) SR:70.59
Bangladesh(197-10)
South Africa won by 19 runs

[simmo014]

Thats a quality comeback there alibratt. At the half way mark of their chase it wasn't looking good for you at only 2 wickets down and they were 12 runs ahead on the comparison. Nice work!
