De Kock looks in fantastic touch when we can actually witness some cricket. As for Bavuma, he’s lucky he captains otherwise he wouldn’t be in this team. He’s a terrible player.

South Africa keep producing great fast bowlers and explosive batsmen but somehow find new ways to choke in tournaments. They were clear favourites in 1996 and 1999 WC's. Had the most ideal squad for t20's but keep losing momentum when it counts.

If Australian selectors throw away their biased selection and get cameron green, aussies will easily win this tournament. They have good two way players in stoinis, marsh and should ideally add green into the starting lineup. Cummins is doing a great impression of venkatesh prasad with his abysmal cutters, he was doing great in all formats not long ago but his pace & accuracy have dropped big time over the past year.

People are underestimating Ireland a lot. They have a very good bowling duo in little and adair who can cause problems to any team. I think both australia and england will come through this group. Do not underestimate the kiwis unlimited capacity to capitulate, they will lose to both england and sri lanka in the upcoming matches.

Yeah he's certainly not a T20 international player. When you need someone to start the innings with a bang he just isn’t that guy!

Rossouw on the other hand is a fine T20 player.

South Africa going to win this one big. Bangers struggling to make 100 here.

Not exactly a blistering start from the Indians..

38/1 off 7

Rahul the man out LBW. He should have reviewed it. Was easily missing.

Should be a winning score from India. This is basically like scoring 240 on grounds without 123m metre boundaries. Worst T20 tournament ever hosted bar none. Let’s just agree to not let Australia host ever again.

That said they won't be getting 180 to win.

Interesting game between Zim and Pak, setup nicely for the finish.

Pak need 40 and have 4 wickets remaining.

Another day and another washed out game. Afghanistan vs Ireland abandoned without a ball bowled in Melbourne.

England due to play Australia at the same ground in a couple of hours. That is if it stops raining.

Been drizzling for hours now and just started absolutely pissing it down. Inspection in about 45 mins apparently. If it is still raining then they'll just call it off I think.

I guess a washout is better news for England than Australia who still will have a -1.555 NRR.
