Thank God we beat South Africa

Kapp robbed of her 5fer after taking 4 wickets in the powerplay. Scorchers should never have dropped that game yesterday.

That loss was pathetic after they had it in the bag. I suppose it balances out the two wins they stole in the tied games though.

I switched on yesterday toward the end and they were talking up how good it was that the scorchers could win without their top two dominating. About two overs later they had lost

I wouldn't want to be the Indian team right now. Not when police were arresting people for cyber terrorism just for cheering Pakistan on WhatsApp. Kohli's going to need a good treason lawyer.

The Indians have to be the worst sore losers in cricket. Absolutely f***ing pathetic.

T20 World Cup: When Indian fans are jailed for celebrating Pakistan's win

The arrest of Muslims for cheering Pakistan's cricket win sparks concerns about freedom of speech in India.

"Jeeeet gayeeee… We wonnn," Ms Attari wrote, over an image of some of the team's players in her WhatsApp status.

Ms Attari was fired from her teaching job, and arrested under a section of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalises "assertions prejudicial to national integration".

A group of medical students in Kashmir have also been charged - under a strict anti-terror law - for allegedly rooting for the Pakistani cricket team.

In a video which has surfaced online, a man, allegedly former BJP lawmaker Vikram Randhawa, can be heard saying the students should be "skinned alive" and have their degrees and citizenship cancelled for raising pro-Pakistan slogans on Indian soil

Yogi Adityanath, a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and chief minister of the country's largest state, Uttar Pradesh, told a newspaper that Indians who cheered the victory should be charged with sedition.

Seven people in Uttar Pradesh were also accused of celebrating Pakistan's win.

Police said they had used disrespectful words and anti-national comments against the Indian cricket team to disturb the peace.

Three of them - Arshad Yousef, Inayat Altaf and Shaukat Ahmad, all engineering students at a college in Agra - are in jail. The men, who have been suspended from their college, struggled to find a lawyer.

"We are not going to provide any legal assistance to these students as they were celebrating Pakistan's victory while living in India," said Nitin Verma, president of the Young Lawyers' Association in the city.

"This is against our country and anti-national. It is our duty to oppose them, so such acts are not encouraged in the future."

Impossible. Only white people can be racist.

This is more likely to be about religion than race, given the state of Indian politics.

Hindu nationalists: "I hate Indian Muslims!"
Also Hindu nationalists: "Gandhi was a traitor! Those Muslims in Pakistan should be Indian!"

There were more Dutch names in the Namibian team than the Dutch team. It's the whitest team produced by an African nation since apartheid ended.

What chance are we to beat the Pakistani's?

If NZ vs England is another super over tie, how is the winner determined this time?

None,

They just keep playing super overs until there's a winner. I'm not sure Jimmy Neesham would survive it though

So Australia is basically the Mighty Ducks. No chance to beat the might of Pakistan.

C'arn New Zealand!

Pakistan have won 14 of the last 15 T20 matches in the UAE where the WC is currently being held. Their single loss was after a super over in 2015.

We have the better side imo but they play the grounds there very well.

Good to see multiculturalism at work.

However if there were one team in world cricket that would be able to lose the unloseable game, it would be Pakistan

They've done it before after all.

Their middle order hasn’t had to do much too. Basically been Rizwan and Babar making all their runs. I can see Starc having one of those spells and knocking both of them over cheaply and the rest will fold after that.
