Final - NRR

[Rabz]

My money is on Zimbabwe to succumb to pressure. Would be a mega upset if SA loses 3 in a trot to BD and Zim and crushes out of the final.

Saying so, my only concern is if the neighbours help each other out to keep BD out !!

SA wins but let's Zim keep up with the NRR would be the end of us in this series.

SA bowing out like this is pretty humiliating for them and Zim are having to oblige to past, present and future favours could have a say.

Who knows !

something tells that me that SA are gonna win the next match, and also the finals. Point to be made is that it will become one of those rare occasions where every team has had a good tourney. We won 2 matches without shakib, Zimbos beat us and SA once, and SAffers win cup with a weak team

[BD Rox]

Is there any way out, BD can sneak through, even if the proteas win?

If SA wins, they will have better NRR than us regardless of the margin. So for us to topple ZIM:

Our RR is 4 x -.293 = -1.172
ZIM RR is 3 x .27 = .81

So ZIM needs to lose at -1.98 or 2 for us to topple them. 2 RR = 40 run loss.

If ZIM bat first and score 160 (8 per over) then SA will need to chase at +2 or 10 per over so in 16 overs.

I saw this thread and immediately was thinking of Raynman

Don't be confused, you can switch depending on match situation...

Ok so who shall I support again?

[Kohli_Sox]

One way or the other, hopefully it becomes one sided match. Either team batting first, if scores 200, we are through

[Ajfar]

Why couldn't we just win the damn game in 16 overs so we can sleep at peace. We were on track too, specially with all the wides from De Lange. We always make things complicated for us.

Here's to hoping Zim kicks some South African butt

39 and 15.1 would be okay. A tie would just do us fine as well.
