And again! Boomshakalaka!

It's all gone pretty quiet here in the last hour or so, and I know I said we are not going to defend 200-odd. But, guys, this is not over yet.

Give this man a medal because he's taken us from a sure loss to a fighting chance!

This is why we need the fucking 8-3

I heard the commentator say Ireland have played an extra batsman. If that's true I think they will win. These kind games just need that extra guy. I do feel though that today Chisoro played a decent knock and he can hit them but he didn't get the chance to.

139/7 to 211/9 all because of Raza with support from Captain Cremer, Chisoro and Blessing at the end. I expect us to really run them close because of our variety in spin bowling options. Cremer is consistent, Chisoro and Williams seem in good form and Raza is the man with the golden arm. Pacers need to back them up. Blessing has learnt a lot and KJ has the experience. Well, we shall see in 15 minutes!

Chatara In for blessing and we’d have had a fighting chance

We're 60 short.

I'd love to be proven wrong - and the bowlers have done well this tournament - but defending 210 in the afternoon at HSC? Massive ask.

Well done to Raza though.

Chisoro looks a far better bat that cremer , in future he should be at 8 ahead of cremer .

I actually agree with this

Quiet true at list our bowlers have something to bowl at. It will be all spin. We are really up against it but these guys have done in two times now. Do they still have it in them. Disappointing from our batting yet again. I would if we should overhaul the Batting lineup. Change things up. Have Hammy back opening with Zhuwao Ervine at 3, Moor replacing Mire batting at 7. Anything because the status core just isn't working.
