We need 148 in 20 overs. That is very doable fellas. If we bat sensible here and hit the odd boundary we'll tick along nicely. 148 is a below bar score in a T20, and this wicket isn't the worst.

PJ needs to launch a few out of the ground now.
Agreed. Rate is 7.5 now - it's basically a T20 where we're chasing 150, and lose 3 wickets in the first over.

Moor may need to sacrifice himself. Go for the big hits, if it comes off great and if it doesn't it brings Raza to the crease. We've got to be brave now.

Yea we need to be brave, I agree with that sentiment. These boys play international for these moments, make them count.

Do they have it in them. i didn't fancy Moor but he has done a job here. Really needs to push on and launch a few.

I feel Zhuwao would have been useless today facing Naveed..

Would have put Zim under more pressure

THReyre bowlibg great lengths. Not one to hit down the ground. We now need a few boundaries. Not sure where they’re coming from. They’ve taken place off the ball with the slow outfield and no drive balls from the seamers. They’re going to have to walk down the wicket and ramp and paddle just now. Another 2 overs max and then we’re going to have to take some risks.

The worry is our batting depth is non-existent. Ervine and Cremer are not T20 sloggers, which means it's up to Moor, Williams and Raza to score another 144 runs.

Moor has to start going for it. RRR is 7.7 now.
