ICC Twenty20 2014

Dar heroics guide HK to historic win; Bangladesh through

Kind of bizarre that the host country has to qualify. I know it's Bangladesh, but still...

I'd love to see bangladesh not qualify they had the easiest group.

Came close it did.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-t20/content/current/story/729499.html

Bangladesh NRR = +1.466
Nepal NRR = +0.933

So close. But no cigar. Next time Nepal.

Interesting day in Qualifier Group B.

If Zim can chase down the UAE score and improve their run rate, then the pressure is on Ireland to beat the Netherlands.

And if the Netherlands can beat Ireland comprehensively then they can qualify!! A narrow win for the Netherlands opens the door for Zim...

India vs Pakistan today, always a good game to watch!

Netherlands giving it horns. Some serious batting here.

Ireland 189/4 (20/20 ov)
Netherlands 157/3 (11/20 ov)

Good grief

 

[lilggg]

YOH YOH YOH, 7 off 6.

 

[lilggg]

****, that was amazing That's how you T20, if they play like that against us. GG

 

[Zyraz]

Well done to the dutch.

 

[dabbler]

Madness. Exhilarating. Magical. What can I say.. This has been a wonderful wonderful game! Netherlands have crossed the line in an unbelievable 13.5 overs. Yes. 13.5 overs.. That's 193 runs at 15.40! Myburgh. Tom Cooper.. What where these guys on is beyond me! I haven't seen hitting like this ever.. It's like watching a Gayle from each end. And when one Gayle gets out.. Another Gayle comes in...Forget Gayle. Ireland have been MYBURGHED and COOPERED. What super hitting!

Are there any actual dutch players in their team?

 

[Creag]

I am sad for Zimbabwe, but just hugest kudos for the Dutch. That was a mammoth performance. Believe they also hold record for the quickest first 100 in this format of the game.

 

[Creag]

Poor effort by Pakistan.

Never sure if they throw a game or just under perform.

 

[MickeyD]

Interesting stat...

13 games
Only twice has the side batting first won!!!

Has anyone else looked at the two qualifying pools and thought that they look horribly skewed in the host's favour? One pool has Zim, Netherlands and Ireland all fighting against each other for one place. These are three teams that have world cup experience for goodness sake! The other is Bangladesh up against three completely random collections of players, of which we'll never hear from again after this T20 world cup. I'd hesitate to say that the 'draw' for these two pools was random but it just doesn't look right to me...

Very convenient random *cough* draw.
