Think the Saffers are certainly capable of overcoming their hoodoo this time round. They are a match for India in practically every department.

 

Will they? Guess it'll come down to the day.

Some great finger work by shashtri.....

One good over. 

One shocking over.

Kohli having to deliver at the highest level here, then.

Be a good time for him to turn up this tournament...

It would be just like him to do so too.

 

Tbh I view the guy the way a lot of non LCFC fans must view Vardy - you can't like him for various reasons, but if you don't hold the skill and nerve at the biggest level he has in the highest respect, you have no brain.

[StanSP]

Much needed stabilisation by Kohli and Axar. Takes a bit of the pressure off Pandya and Jadeja when they come in. 

[StanSP]

That's superb from De Kock but disgustingly lazy from Axar. 

[Super_horns]

Virat Kohli turning up just when India needed him too .

 

[leicsmac]

Reckon India are a good 15-25 runs above par here, will need something special from the Saffers.

[StanSP]

Competitive total but a couple of early wickets will be key. 

 

Have to match how good SA performed in the field if we're gonna win this.

South Africa cricket team are the biggest chokers in world sport. They wouldn’t be able to chase 140.

Funnily enough it's the inverse of their rugby team. They are famed for bringing their best to the biggest occasions and winning.

[Super_horns]

New name behind the stumps for England

 

Guess they are looking longer term ?

Is he a bit of a pinch hitter ?

[StanSP]

Need a wicket. This is like the Axar/Kohli stand. 

[StanSP]

There we go.

Not surprised by this 

[StanSP]

Huge wicket, more for the timing. 

[leicsmac]

Building up to a grandstand finish here. This partnership the crucial one.

[StanSP]

SA win this from here. Klaasen in good nick today. Will see them through. 

[StanSP]

If they don't win this from here it's a big big choke.

I mean, they are very good at the massive choke, we'll see. Bumrah needs to win this on his own now.

[StanSP]

Could that be another turn in the game...

couldn’t see why he needed to swing with a run a ball needed 

looks like a tight ending
