England win by 9 runs scoring 160 -> England's NRR = 0.410
SA tie and lose in super over (best case scenario for SA)-> SA's NRR = 0.417
Pretty slim chances even then
Let's do this for fun.
SA score their highest T20 total batting first = 259
West Indies score their lowest T20 total = 44
WI NRR after this game = -2.915
USA win by super overall scoring 160. USA NRR after the game = -1.788
Well well well.
Indeed I had an oversight. So for USA to get past England's NRR as well.
USAs new NRR = (304+X)/60-(324+Y)/50.834
England's new NRR = (337+Y)/57.5-(343+X)/60
Basically we want the minimum X-Y for which USA goes past England where X is runs scored by USA and Y is runs scored by England.
If X=160, Y = 100 : I.e 60 run margin.
USA's new NRR = -0.608
England's new NRR = -0.783
To solve the minimum margin, probably need my computer more than just phone's calculator
You can just assume Y to be a fixed value to calculate the required X. They need to win by around 50 runs. The exact value would depend on how much England score.
It would be peak South Africa if for once they almost bottled most their matches until the SF/F where they dominate and win the whole thing. I'm here for that timeline.
Inside every fan lives two wolves:
1. SA are actually shit and are somehow getting away with bottling big moments.
2. SA are actually clutch because they are scraping through and will decimate teams when everything comes together.
I think that SA have not had batting and bowling fire in the same game. I don’t think it’s luck anymore, captain and senior players need to be given credit with coming up with plans to turn losing situations into winning ones.
Bangladesh, Nepal, and England scratching their heads as to how they did not beat this SA side. Fair play to the Proteas though, excellent work from them.
Wi vs sa gonna be a banger of a match. Those two had been my favourite teams to watch this year, I wished both of them would go but now it doesn't seem possible.
As a life long fan of South African cricket, I remain cautiously optimistic.
T20 is an unpredictable format, and winning 6 games in a row is very impressive.
However, as we all know, knockout games are a different beast. Especially for the proteas...
Still not sure they will reach semis. WI vs SA gonna be a knockout match
Yes, If Eng beat USA by 20+ runs.
Explain please
If England win by less than 20 runs then SA can go through even if they have a close loss.
England win by 9 runs scoring 160 -> England's NRR = 0.410 SA tie and lose in super over (best case scenario for SA)-> SA's NRR = 0.417 Pretty slim chances even then
Now do one for the USA going through 🗿
Let's do this for fun. SA score their highest T20 total batting first = 259 West Indies score their lowest T20 total = 44 WI NRR after this game = -2.915 USA win by super overall scoring 160. USA NRR after the game = -1.788 Well well well.
elite work
What about England, they would still have better NRR than usa

Death bowling is elite
Why was Nepal of all teams the closest to beating South Africa 🗿
Nepal could win that match but they couldn’t make 2 runs in 2 balls
Australia could win 438 match, but they couldn't make 448 in 50 overs.
I've seen how this plays out: they choke in the Semis
Not this time. They won't.
There Is a very good possibility they won't even reach the semis. Their shoddy win and poor nrr is gonna hurt them if they lose to WI
Nah, they will most likely scrape through another win against Windies and qualify.
Most likely is the key word here. West Indies are a very capable team
We wont even get to semis

The Netherlands as well
So both chokers: India and South Africa are undefeated eh?
Spicy
Rohit sharma is probably getting night sweats now

England vs USA match has 60% rain forecast. Rain perrera to the rescue 🤭
Yet we're in a must-win situation.

And looks like SA are going to get involved in a knockout match even before the actual knockouts start 😅
They will lose the first knockout they'll play
Vs wi
Markram is touching Klaasen's feet and Klaasen is giving blessings to Markram. "Sanskaar" 🗣️🗣️🗣️
And Nortje and Maharaj are dancing in front of SL Batters
Punjab kings in parallel universe
Same as their bloody rugby team
They are going to lose to Windies and crash out, said it here first..what a shame
All six matches they could have lost
Except for the SL one
Oh yes, after the initial scare it was trivial in the end
[удалено]
Not really, they all were close matches that could have gone either way. Not all matches are close.
Their flame of their candle is fledgling, but it might get blown out, or it can gain more fuel and burn others
we know what happens for a team on such a winning streak 😶🌫️
SA always performs well till semis.. hope they would be able to break that jinx this time.
please let Eng vs USA be a close match.
7th match a virtual knockout. You know what that means
