wouldn't it have been better that he retired hurt and got in a better runner? It seemed pointless, it not like he was miller.

 

I think he was the last recognized batsman. They had to take chance

Ned always had the gun bowling. They bowled well against everyone except us because of Surya and Kohli. There are no batsmen who are dominating like these 2 in WC. With some luck and good fielding,we would have defeated SA too. 

Tom Cooper came to the party and Ackerman. Once they crossed 150,i knew it will be tough for SA. It also took an exceptional catch to dismiss Miller.

No t20 format has too many of these its not a highly differentiating sport, too few hazards for batsmen.

And ofcourse Pakistan vs Ireland, 2007 WC.

Nothing can ever come close to Ireland v/s Pakistan. Before the start of the

 tournament, not many would have heard or know anything about Ireland playing Cricket . And, in a Must win Match for Pakistan, they lose to an amateur side of  part time Irish Cricketers and crash out of the WC. 

 

Next biggest WC upset would be Kenya defeating WI during 96 WC. Again a side playing it's first ever Global tournament defeating a Top International side.

Netherlands are playing Global Tournaments since 1996. Have already defeated England twice in T20 World Cups, this win against SA is an upset but not the biggest ever .

Kenya beating WI in 1996 WC is bigger. BD defeating Pak in 1999 WC is close second.

 This gotta be. All round choke. Completely bottled it. Maharaja was limping in the end. It was horrible to see him wincing in pain still carrying on pursuing the target hopelessly.

He should have retired out himself instead of hopping. Nortje comes in and hits a boundary in the first ball

Pakistan is always known for getting bashed by minnow. Lost a home series to zimbabwe with Chakram, chaqar younis

Yea. but your world cup qualification on the line you are agianst a side that is playing its last match most likely with no real motivation.  You gotta step up big time ruthlessly.

[coffee_rules]

The previous two games - Ind vs BD and Aus vs AFG, it became easier to bat under lights.BD and AFG almost won chasing . But that was under lights. This match was at 10:30 am. Stupid decision to chase after winning the toss. I wonder who advised Bavuma to chase here. The ball was stoping and was very slow in the end. Take pace off and it became tough to clear boundaries.

This is the biggest upset given what was at stake for SA.
