ODI World Cup.
Shami bowls the 48th over. Nabi out LBW. Afghanistan review in hope. Not out! Hit outside the line! It's not over yet!
They had to review it, whether it was a good review or not.
But only 1 run from the first five balls. They take 2 from the last ball.
Afghanistan need 21 runs from 2 overs. It's hard but at least they have Nabi.

First ball: Nabi hits a straight 4.
Second ball: Single refused. Probably the right decision.
Third ball: Nabi is caught. 52 (55).
India will win now.
8/213 (49.3). 12 needed from 3 balls.
Fourth ball: Alam is bowled.
8/213 (49.4). They need two 6s from the final two balls. A good chance for Shami to get a hat-trick.
Fifth ball: Mujeed is bowled. Shami does get a hat-trick.
That's the "easiest" way to get a hat-trick of course. The new batsmen had to try to hit 6s immiediately.
Afghanistan all out 213 (49.5). India win by 11 runs.

M. Holding sounds disapproving of WI's slogging.
Odds: WI 32%, NZ 68%.

Hetmyer hits three 4s in the 11th over.
Holding says no matter how good a bowler, the bad deliveries will come, and you can just take advantage of the bad deliveries, without trying to make bad deliveries.
NZ are bowling some rubbish balls here.

The tournament has come to life in the last group of games.
Let's hope the trend continues.

Pakistan win toss, bat.
The money thinks this'll be close.
Odds: Pakistan 43%, S. Africa 57%.
Match line: S. Africa -2.5 wks / -10.5 runs.
Pakistan 50-overs line: 279.5.

Pakistan start well. Imam-ul-Haq hits three 4s off the 4th over.
0/29 (4).
The broadcast predictor says 321.
Odds: Pakistan 55%, S. Africa 45%.
Line: 300.5.

Pakistan 0/58 (10).
Odds: Pakistan 59%, S. Africa 41%.
Line: 307.5.

In the 12th over Fakhar looks like he's holed out to Tahir in the deep...
but the soft signal is not out. TV review. Not out.
S. Africa are not happy.
Faf exchanged agitated words with the umpires, but the TV replays looked more not out than out to me.
And Fakhar rubs it in by hitting the next ball for 4.
Let's hope the trend continues.
