No truth in the rumours a Bangladesh fast bowler says to knock Aus out of the T20 World Cup would be "in our best interests as well as probably everyone else"

Bangladesh Vs Afghanistan is a thriller - the Bangers will not get the runs in time to go thru on NRR but can Afghanistan get the win?
Afghanistan 115/5

Bangladesh (11.4/20 ov, T:116) 81/7
Bangladesh need 35 runs in 50 balls.
Off for rain now and Afghanistan ahead by 2 runs on DLS

So on one side of the contest there are two racist, sexist countries who treat their poor like dirt and on the other side is SA vs Afghanistan.

There is not that much in the pitch. Afghanistan batsmen all out of their depth here, playing silly shots not using their feet against Shamsi.

Congrats South Africa, it's taken 18 tournaments over 32 years but you finally made the final of a cricket world cup.

No pressure... :thumbup:

Sure, you can blame that on our politics. Cricket SA is under pressure because of PoC numbers.
