Old Pakistan staring down the barrel now :lol: rizwan made his cheese out for less than a run a ball in the 15th. They’d have won about five world cups if it wasn’t for the rampant fixing :lol:

Man it's been a long night for me, but India win. I was watching the French Open final as well...

This really was a defeat Pakistan need to be ashamed of. I thought they made no attempt whatsoever to chase this. I mean 120 is like nothing, they had about 5-6 wickets in hand until the last over... 😂😂 I was surprised a bit.

Great win for us nonetheless although this rivalry no longer excites majority of the Indians now... It's more about the India - Australia rivalry these days.

they didn’t :lol: rizwan ticking along like it was a test match. It’s Pakistan though; unless you’ve got a personal axe to grind, they get a free pass for their shadiness.

Both the results yesterday mean that Zimbabwe now have to go through the qualifiers again, barring a miracle. I guess I have to give up on that direct qualification hope now!

How is that? Aren’t ZIM locked into top 12?

They’re likeable though so get away with it. Any other country pulled stunts like this and the ICC anti corruption unit would be on their case so fast! :lol:

Not true, either Scotland or the Netherlands have to win three games to go above Zimbabwe. Scotland have only won two and Netherlands one so far.

Scotland have overtaken Zimbabwe now and have gone up to 12th. However I don't know if they lose to Australia then how does it impact their ranking... As of now they are fractionally ahead of Zimbabwe.

The washout game against England has helped them assuming they would have lost it... But whon knows they might as well have won it too.

In any case, it is unlikely that both USA and Scotland will fail to qualify for Super 8s. At least that's what I'm thinking.
