Zimbabwe and Afghanistan both won their matches today, which means that the final game between the two will determine which team from group B goes through. Nail biting, nail biting.
Zimbabwe batted first and with a half century from SC Williams they put up 147 for Scotland to chase. But I think maybe Scotland never heard the start whistle for their innings (do they do a whistle? Maybe its that they didn't see the ump wave his hat, I don't know) anyway, Scotland didn't get anything going at all. They went all out after 19.4 overs and they were 11 runs short. 4 wicket haul to Masakadza - don't get to excited though, it was Wellington, not Hamilton. If only Masakadza wasn't such a common name........
Afghanistan beat Hong Kong by 6 wickets. HK put up a measly 116, really? I'm pretty sure Afghanistan could have chased that in their sleep. RAAAATTTHHHHH!!!!! was the highest at 28. NO real need to shake a fist at that. As for the bowling, Nabi nabbed a 4 wicket haul, of course I didn't have him on my team today. Afghanistan chased down the 116 in 18 overs with most of the work being done by Shahzad and Ali Zadran.
Catherine and Anna both had surges but Bob, man o man, did you see that steep climb? MMOOOORRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE .......... TTTTWWWWIIIISSSSTTTTT..............DDDDDRRRIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! (not quite the same ring as Khan) shaking both fists.
And welcome Hartless!! Not we're not Hart less. We could be Hart full if Sally joined!
Tomorrow is Oman and Netherland (can't predict that one now with Oman doing so well) and then Bangladesh / Ireland. Ireland need a win but its doubtful.
