CWC Match 5 | South Africa vs Bangladesh | The Oval, London | June 2, 2019| Match thread

[Forward Defence]

335 now on the cards. Rabada also getting tonked

[zen]

BD has runs on board .... SA has to remain positive as teams expect to chase 300+ in this WC 

[Forward Defence]

330/6 after 50.

This is Bangladesh's highest ODI score

If SA get past the mark, this will be the best game of the tourney so far

This is SA..piss poor team. I will be surprised if they cross 250.Kabada can shove it..

India must take note. Have wickets in hand and blaze away. Trundlers galore in these pitches.Unleash the spinners afterwards

[nitinbwj]

Another Minnow bashing coming up ! SA I mean..

India will play SA at Southampton. Pitch there is probably the flattest. It will be advantage India anyway

Bangladesh's bowling is meh. Another team has sacrificed bowling options on the altar of batting death, let's see if they can defend this excellent total.

Even if they get half way, that would be the best match of tourney so far.

LMAO !  

 

330 by Bangladesh  . 

 

Some were saying SAF have best bowling unit out of all teams.  

[sandeep]

Toygers in the driver's seat, but they can lose it in the 1st 10 overs with the ball.  If they avoid doing that, they got this game.

[Franco Vazquez]

Theres another forum in which I said that SA is playing their worst team in this WC and Saffers said no its the best bowling line up and now look at them conceding the highest ever total from Toygers

Cant believe IPL makes these idiots look like superstars. First Rashid and now Morris

Morris was never good odi player. Only good in t20. Ipl has got nothing to do with that.

[Zero_Unit]

Just woke up to see the second innings. Did not expect this score from bd. Me feels chockers will choke chasing this lol.

At least one Asian team has shown some intent to win so far unlike the other 3 that played

No steyn,ngisi injured.Pitch is not helpful for their pacers.

Steyn is not the same bowler and Ngidi bowled **** while he could

[Franco Vazquez]

ABD was a much better captain than Faf. Faf effed up at the toss twice on the same pitch

[nitinbwj]

Cricinfo

Atul: "I remember, few months back one of SA player mentioned that they are world's best bowling side (commenting on indian bowler's). I feel Sorry for them after watching last two games. 

 

Take that SA..now STFU and get lost !!!

[zen]

SA opened with Tahir in the last game. Will we see someone like Morris being promoted to get big hits in

Or a fit & firing Steyn can blow our top order like only he can 

Lungi and Steyn will most likely be still injured. It would be nice if a half fit Steyn takes the field and walks off after just 2-3 overs like Lungi today. Our batters can then feast on the part timer replacement bowling.

[Franco Vazquez]

If Russouw and ABD were playing, I would have backed SA to chase but not with this team.
