This is the dumbest finish I've seen in a long while. 4 dots and a wicket then they take a single off the last ball to keep the #11 on strike and leave the bloke who's scored > 50% of the teams runs stranded at the other end.
Then you run yourself out to end the game
My thoughts exactly. Bizarre.
It wasn't likely that they could chase down 40 odd off the last 3, but if ever there was a time to turn down a single it was on the last ball of the 16th over. It's not impossible for a player on 70 to have three good overs of hitting.

Helluva chase so far from the Bangles
Man they probably should’ve won that. That flurry of 3 quick wickets on sky balls was the difference. The Bangles batting before the rain was some of the best of the tournament.

What a T20 innings. Had everything.
Big hitting, bowlers on top for a period, dropped catches, quick 50s, quick wickets.
Great crowd atmosphere when Pakistan are scoring.

Yeah, what an awesome innings.
Decent start for Pakistan in the field too! 1 for 1 after 1.

Big wicket for Pakistan. Bavuma gone for 36 with a SR of 190. He was really heating up too.
-
Bang. Now Markram gone.
Spin to win!

They continue to play through the light rain.
Proteas we’re exactly on track with the DLS after 6.2 overs, but have now fallen way behind 2 overs later.

Group 2 scenarios - Pakistan hope that one of India or South Africa stumble on Sunday
India will go through even with a no-result, but South Africa don't have that luxury

Chaotic scenes as 5 needed off last ball results in a stumping. Players shake hands and walk off.
3rd umpire rules keeper took ball in front of the stumps so its a no ball. 4 needed off 1 ball. Free hit.
Sorry to quote myself, but I wonder if that should really have been a no-ball? Forgetting what the laws say.
Surely it would be enough to say that the stumping is disallowed without saying that it is a no-ball as well?

Hilariously stupid shot from Warner

Extraordinary. I've never understood why clean hitters like him resort to switch hitting or reverse sweeps. Seems such high risk for low probability reward.

It feels like something you could try to throw a bowler of his game if he's bowling well. Doing it when you're already on top is just stupid
