Bravo has to be a candidate for the most improved limited overs bowler of the past five years or so.

I know NZ easily defended 126 here the other day, but this isn't the same wicket. It hasn't turned anywhere near as much as it was turning in that game. And SA don't have three spinners like NZ (and WI) had (although FDP can bowl some spin).

I do find it interesting that WI keep on selecting Sammy purely as captain and finisher (and in both matches so far, they've reached their target before needing his finishing!). I don't think he's bowled a single over in their three matches. I wonder what role we have in mind for him this season, given our own vast array of bowling options.
 
Brainless from Bravo. It was Phangiso's last ball. He's given SA a sniff now.
 
Don't do a Bangladesh. Take the single. Secure the Super Over, at least.

So, no worrying about NRR now. Win tomorrow and England are through.

But similarly, lose and we're out. Had WI sufficiently damaged SA's NRR today, then we might have still been able to squeeze through with a defeat tomorrow. But not now.

SA-SL could yet be a totally meaningless game, or a de facto QF game.
