And I fell asleep and checked the score now which is 227 for 9 in 50 overs

Rohit and Dhawan better remain on the crease for atleast 20 overs and score atleast half the number of required runs. It's high time I see them playing else when I switch on the TV after 10 mins, 2 wickets are already gone. LOL!

The tail enders did good job for South Africa. Although South African's bowling unit looks very average but I think India needs a careful start.

In the other match, Bangladesh just lost another wicket. Tamim gone.

RSA looks awful in this world cup so their bad fortune continues on this world cup tournament as well.

I didn't have much time to watch the early stages of tournament,hopefully will have the spare time to watch from now on.

Gone Dhawan Gone. I just know that these openers won't last even for 10 overs. It's depressing to see the players who are good batsmen consistently getting out so early and that too for a score of single digits. Virat to the rescue.

Happy to see Sehwag, Sachin and Ganguly's commentary

I don't think there are anything to be worried about India today unless they lost 6+ wickets in less than 100 runs LOL (It's not gonna happen 99.99% confirmed)

India will have an easy win if not trashing.

In the other match, Bangladesh are looking for runs. Will they be able to put a decent score?

Forget reaching 100, currently I can see only 0s being made every over

The bowlers are not letting them make runs even after 7 overs.

Edit: Just made two 4s. Finally!

I bet on "Comfortable" win so I think I am going to loose. lol

for Ban, any score below 300 against NZ can be considered a loss. NZ are looking too tough

LOL you are not gonna lose, you will not just get the margin point. If you can pick the correct category for the winner then for the group rounds you will get 1 margin point or for a winning pick you will get only one point which is default.

Cheers :-)

I just threw a cheap bet at SA to win after Dhawan's dismissal (3.25) but it's already gone back up to (3.75).

Hoping with Kohli out the rest might start to fall...

Eh! :-P
South Africa has no chance to win this match. Since India lost two wickets so I am heading for them to have a comfortable win. They will lose few more wickets I think but eventually win.

The odd for South Africa will be 20.00+ soon :-P

Edit:
In the other match Bangladesh just lost their 5th wicket. They are not looking good now.

[Cloudbet]

Eh! :-P

I just thought it was worth a little bet after an early dismissal, but it's looking like my dreams of turning 0.00017 BTC into 0.00054 BTC will have to wait for another day. India now need just 132 from 25 overs, so I think that's pretty much a done deal

[JSRAW]

Bad choice Ronnie :p Rahul gone but still India is in driving seat. Only one thing can win game for SA : harakiri from Indian batsmen

Before world cup we were expecting 300 average score for this edition but looks like ICC fooled everyone by introducing batting wickets during warm up match and now teams struggling to cross 250 mark.

Harsha bhogle twitted about this as well.

[erikalui]

The chances of India's win have gone upto 95.47% as per ESPN and I also am a bit confident their win would be easy but with Rahul getting out, I thing that things would again slow down and they would struggle to get the remaining 89 runs.

Dhoni to the rescue. Please save us

There are no rescue needed today :-P
However it will be fun to see Dhoni stay not out till the end.

Lol
Could be. However I wonder it's possible in this short period of time to chance the pitches :-P

[Tipstar]

We all know India has a great batting line up but South Africa has been keeping India from scoring even a single. This would be creating more and more pressure as the run rate increases. It looks like a slow pitch hence, India need to play more singles if it wants a comfortable win.

Of course they know it. The last over was 5 singles. If India managed to get a boundry every 1 or 2 overs, they'll comfortably wing over South Africa. India has just proved they are one of the strong contender for the trophy but South Africa is not a strong hurdle as there are many more to come that could stop India from reaching the trophy.

It's very much possible I would say, if we leave Nottingham pitch. This ground is for batsmen only. Another solid theory is batsmen sucks in this Era and they can't handle swing-seaming bawling in first 10 overs and quality spin in middle overs.

Hmm, the pitch is really  very slow. But India is trying to play safely and the score is now 158/3 in 37 overs. Need 70 more runs from 78 balls, so I think this will be easy to India where Rohit and Dhoni still batting.  

[AB de Royse777]

The way the match is rolling, I would say comfortable win is quite possible and in this case I and a lot of us will get 2 points while rest of you will get 1 points :-P



Did anyone see that vishnu picked South Africa?

Dhoni hitting a helicopter six in the end would be a treat to watch.

Rohit amazed me today with a fab 100+ runs. Glad to see him back in form.

Dhoni is out and now it's Pandya's time to showdown. Rohit already did his part. India needs 6 runs LOL

Edit: 5 runs from 18 balls. Which means they are going to have a comfortable win and those of us (including me) who picked this category we are going to have 2 points each :-D

Edit2:
Here we have it! India vs South Africa match:


Congrats to all who got the Margin points, since the regular point was too easy to earn in this match :-P

Haha his wishes to see helicopter shot was failed today may be in coming match. He will finish in the way of show down.

Whatever they will win the match for sure, but I thought they might be lose their run rate in the point table.

If they want to stay at top Indian team need to win in margin games.

Vishnu got 4th wrong in the row,  
Amazing victory by India. What a wonderful start to the campaign. Go blue!
To many up-downs in the table today. Vennali made a impressive jump by 5 positions. Competition is getting close and tougher.
In the ongoing match, New Zealand is chasing comfortably. If the same things continue, NZ will win easily. Hope it ends as 'Easy Win' for NZ.
