Poor Bangladesh
Hridoy was given out lbw by the umpire, which he reviewed successfully as it was clear the ball was going down the leg side and missing the stumps. The ball had in fact clipped his pad and run away for four leg byes.
The rule is that when there is a review and the decision is overturned, a dead ball is declared, so the four leg byes didn’t count.
Bangladesh lost by four runs

 

Eng v Oman , that was quick

 

So England will qualify if Australia beat Scotland and England beat Namibia. What odds are there on Australia throwing the last game? Even at the cost of topping the group?

 

Definitely a gap in the rules, that is bs.

 

101 balls to spare in a T20 game!!

 

With the comments made by some in the Australian camp, notably Hazlewood, there will be a lot of questions for them to answer if they do lose. Perversely, saying those things puts pressure on them to win to avoid any controversy. They don’t want a cloud over them for the rest of the tournament.

 

NZ and Pakistan going home

 

Amazing!

 

11 overs per side now in England’s must-win game. Hopefully, no more rain. It would be a travesty if England went out having played only one game - effectively a knockout v Australia.

 

All irrelevant if they lose to Namibia.....

 

How good is Harry Brook?
Rain please stay away.

 

Well done Aussies. Really thought they would let Scotland win.

 

They nearly did!

 

Superb knock from Salt

 

Needed Harry Brook to stay for that last over

 

England's 'stars' failed today. Close in the end, but SA definitely the better team on the day

 

Gwan Afganistan, they have to be the best outside of the top tier cricket nations

 

Adil Rashid is so good
