Surely we don't pick Lab if its looking like a 20 over game?

Hardie can be selected at the toss right?

torrential downpour threw away a big score

What a fizzer, they should've played this game in Dubai, not much chance of rain there but one of the teams needed to be India.

So beat Afghanistan and we are thru then

Lose to Afghanistan and we are probably out?

Pretty much.

If England win both we would be probably be out, not a great result since SA has the better NRR after game 1. I guess its the same if Afghanistan beats England, it's a bad result for us if South Africa and us lose the last game.

If England beat Afghanistan and then South Africa beat England then we are already safe, which is probably the most likely.

If Afghanistan win their 2 remaining games, they'll make the last 4 at Australia's expense as they'll have 4 points and Australia will be on 3.

Lose to AFG you may as well go home. They're OK but we should be beating them.

Will beat them and probably comfortably

Bit of rain predicted

 

[Moonwatcher]

If England beat Afghanistan and SA beat England (the two most likely results) we can get through without beating Afghanistan.

Do the first 2 games happen before the third?

AFG v ENG tomorrow night then Australia v Afghanistan is before Eng/SA so would be a nervous wait.

You'll all be stunned to find out that Smudge described as Marnus as well and truly the most annoying during the rain delay, trying to bug every single person.

Weather forecast for Afghanistan v Australia doesnt look too good as well for Friday in Lahore.

 

[ioppolo]

Rawalpindi averages 84mm of rain in February so this was always a chance of happening unfortunately.

A washout there would guarantee Australia qualify

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well, at least Australia has done the right thing and won the game they've played so far.

Surely Australia go into this tournament ranked #1 so washouts all the way would result in Australia winning?
