SA need 232 runs to win (DL)

 

[W/ Great Power]

As a side-note, I just realized we dropped five wickets in the span of roughly 30 minutes.

 

[Kaleb]

that was the weirdest countdown ever

 

[Kaleb]

dammit De Kock get your head out of your ass.....again

 

[W/ Great Power]

There's hope!

Edit: If we somehow win this match, my faith in Pakistan will be restored.

 

[Kaleb]

wow almost another wicket

 

[Kaleb]

Amla batting very well at the moment 32 runs so far thanks to 8 fours

 

[Kaleb]

SA 67/2 (Faf gets caught)

 

[Kaleb]

67/3
Amla this time

 

[Kaleb]

74/4

I dreaded this this, the dreaded chokers tag SA get labeled with is well deserved

 

[Kaleb]

urgh its 4am Im going to sleep

 

[Iceman]

What the hell? SA 128-6!!

 

[Iceman]

Can't believe this. SA 138-7. Irresponsible from Dale Steyn there. But ABD is still there, all up to him now.

Ireland got 331-8 in the other match against Zimbabwe.

 

[W/ Great Power]

I didn't have my laptop for a bit, but I've been watching all along.

Much more tense than I thought it would be!

 

[Iceman]

Need 48 from 97 balls but only 2 wickets left. 184-8 and a power play.

 

[Iceman]

ABD is trying to take ALL the strike and just go for it on the first few balls of each over before going for a single near the end of the over.

 

[Iceman]

ABD out!!!!

Still need 31 runs and only one wicket left from 2 tail enders.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Goodness!

If only Pakistan could have racked up a few more runs, I would be a lot less nervous right now.

 

[Iceman]

They've done it!! Pakistan win by 29 runs. Who would have thought.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Victory!

Me and my brother just went nuts after the last wicket! What a finish!

 

[Iceman]

I never would have predicted it. They are such an unpredictable team and SA are usually so strong on batting and fielding (their fielding was still great today).

Congrats!!

 

[regwec]

Yeah Im just hoping this is the game that gets Quinton De Kock out of his funk

dammit De Kock get your head out of your ass.....again

Lol.

A mess of a game frankly, but congrats to Pakistan for emphatically bursting SA's bubble.

 

[DeadPresident]

Did the Proteas choke again?

 

[Kaleb]

Did the Proteas choke again?

yep

 

[Kaleb]

congrats to Pakistan for clawing their way back in and winning.
