Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bowl something not right there. Been saying on radio all day here the most important thing is for Aussies to win the toss and bat, low and behold they get that option given to them. Stinks
Still in our hands
The Aussies have to win by 60 runs to match run rate anything else is bonus. So they had to bat first.Even with early wickets, Afghanistan the Aussies are scoring and will post 200
funny thing is they have to make it look good because question will be asked, a dropped catch just now speaks for itself a dolly ? Doing the maths, the Aussies need to score 200 then bowl out Afghanistan for 70 to 90
Not as expensive a drop earlier as it might have been.That's a big wicket

If Aussie score 200 and restrict Afghanistan to 139 they do sneak past England's nett R/R but England would still need to win by around 12 runs or within 18.5 overs, so actually a 50 run win could be enough.The Aussies have to win by 60 runs to match run rate anything else is bonus.
