Super 10 Group 1: Afghanistan v England at Delhi

[quote author=dillinger10 link=topic=103357.msg685685#msg685685 date=1458729435]
17-year-old Rashid has two wickets. Jordan goes in similar fashion to Vince, chipping one back to the bowler. 85/7 (14.3 ovs). Will they even last the 20 overs?

This is it then. Afg is a tough opponent and unlike teams like UAE or even Zim. A 100 run target would be a sure fire way to guarantee victory to Afg.
Though India lost against the paltry 126 target set by the NZ.
120 run would be a blessing in disguise for the English today

Come on, Mo, I'll gladly buy you a shepherd's pie if you can get England up to 130.

Already at 132
still an over remains.
I think Eng got its horses back. They can defend this target

hahaha me "chortling"

These desperation heaves are what gets on my damn nerves in the last few overs, look at what Ali did to Hamza there wow. Possibly match saving slogs

Huge last two overs from Moeen and Willey. 35 much needed runs that at least gives England something to bowl at. Still have a hard time seeing England defend this given how poor their bowling has been this tournament. 

Afghanistan need 143 to win. 162 is the average score here in the IPL. My money is on them to produce a mild upset.

Willey? You betcha. Big, big early wicket of the danger man Shazhad. Beautiful in-swinging delivery trapping Shazhad on the crease. 4/1.

Afghanistan's captain nicks off. England have two big early wickets. Keep the pressure on. Good captaincy from Morgan to have a slip in place. 12/2 (2 ovs).

Brilliant from Willey. Fantastic pressure is rewarded with a loose hack and a third wicket for England. 13/3 (3 ovs).

Moeen into the attack and picks up the wicket of Rashid Khan. A splendid catch from captain Morgan. That was traveling at some pace. 35/4 (7.5 ovs).

Adil Rashid strikes in his first over. Another caught and bowled. A third in this match. Noor Ali stood at the crease in disbelief. Afghanistan 39/5 (8.5 ovs).
