T20 World Cup Day 6 21/10. Ireland v West Indies 1430hrs, Scotland v Zimbabwe 1930hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[TubbsFarquhar]

Less than a run a ball now, Zimbabwe just have to play this sensibly now and not throw away stupid wickets. Target the s**t balls.

Like that one.

 

[NYRB]

I reckon zimbabwe would fancy themselves more in Group 2: India, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangas and the Dutch.

 

[ioppolo]

Burl and Jongwe are more reliable than Shumba.

 

[NYRB]

Watch Zimbabwe drag this out.

 

[NYRB]

Zimbabwe v South Africa would get Africa rocking.

 

[NYRB]

its their 'derby' or 'Showdown'

 

[Plugger35]

I thought Ervine might have been past it but he's turned back the clock tonight.

absolute class. Great mix of composure, experience and flair. Fantastic captain's knock

 

[NYRB]

never seen a team look like they want to avoid England/Australia in group stage play liuke I have seen with Zimbabwe batting here

We jinxed him.

Zimbabwe should still win though.

 

[NYRB]

its always dangerous in T20 getting a game into the last over (from a batting perspective)

 

[NYRB]

thats all you need to do, just tip and run

 

[NYRB]

Scotland only going to win this now by taking wickets, tempted to put in a 1st slip

 

[Bedi]

We jinxed him.

Zimbabwe should still win though.

ha, yep always. But he did all he needed to do.

 

[NYRB]

Zimbabwe go through with Ireland


Zimbabwe go into Australia/England/Afghanistan/NZ/ Sri Lanka group

 

[gtrxuone]

Knowing them they are likely only look to more established nations. There are some hidden gems playing for these associates.

Yep spot on

top three go through?

 

[DEVO]

Bummer, thought the Scots were chance for a while.

 

[Plugger35]

The Zimbabwe fans going crazy, hopefully they can get to all their games for the main tournament, their team is capable of causing an upset or two.

 

[NYRB]

top three go through?

Top 2 go through

 

[Bedi]

Top 2 go through

bloody hell. Tough job

 

[NYRB]

I would have fancied Zimbers chacnes more in Group 2, but Aus/Eng/NZ will be too strong for these guys.

Zimbers have to be on top of their game to possibly beat NZ.

Zimbabwe are in India's group, Ireland is in our group

 

[gtrxuone]

Scotland battled hard but just didn't have enough runs on the board
Great stuff Zimbabwe.Been on the Cricket World stage for 3 decades now.Nothing to lose now there in the top 12.

I thought you said...

According to my calculations if Zimbabwe chase the target between balls 116 to 120, they finish 2nd in the group behind Ireland.

If Zimbabwe chase the target inside 115 balls or less, they finish 1st in the group.

The game ended at Ball 111.
