I'm planning to Haka my way to the top! Watch out Catherine.
England pulled off a win as did India, barely. England beat Afghanistan by 15 runs. They batted first and rode Moeen Alis's 42 not out to a total of 142. Afghanistan just could not chase. 2 wickets each for Nabi, Rashid Khan, Willey, and Adil Rashid.
In the second match India nearly blew it. They batted first and 146 whcih isn't stellar but isn't bad either. There were no real standouts for them in the batting arena. But then What happened to their bowling? Bangladesh lasted all 20 overs and did use 9 wickets trying but they fell 1 run short, that's it, 1 run. Apparently it all came down to some careful last ball planning by Dhoni and some great last ball execution by Pandya. 2 wickets each to Al-Amin Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, R. Ashwin, Jadeja and Pandya.
I am closing the gap on my MIL, Mom and Moira have been doing a little do si do, other than that things are status quo.
Tomorrow its Australia v. Pakistan - both could use the win. And then South Africa / West Indies. SA needs to win here to realistically have a chance at moving on.

ReplyDeleteCorrection, sorry, we have a one day break before more cricket. Games resume on Friday with SA/ WI and Aust / Pak. I kept wondering why cric info wasn't posting a game preview, now it is all clear. I better double check my trades and make sure someone isn't out with injury.
ReplyDeleteI was getting stressed about not having time to watch today. Only to find out at the end of the day that there were no matches. Is this good or bad?
