Cricket Thread

Have the shit sky commentators actually mentioned what the qualification permutations are? I haven’t watched every ball but I’ve heard nothing. Surely their job is to be experts, and inform, and explain?
 
Yeah as there was no score that would make WI and England’s NRR both being better than SA’s.

If it was won by a run, the NRR would dip for the tournament.
Surely if West Indies win in the 20th over our NRR would only drop slightly and still be better than SA’s? What am I missing AHT?
 
Got you. Wasn’t aware that’s how they did it, is that how they do it in the men’s game? Thanks for explaining
Teams with a higher net run rate are those who score more runs than they concede and vice versa. NRR is used as a tiebreaker if teams are level on points.


If a team is all out before it completes its overs, the 'against' run rate is calculated using the full 20 overs.


Using England's first two completed matches from the last T20 World Cup as an example:


Runs for

  • England 113/5 – 18 overs and 1 ball (v Afghanistan)
  • England 179/6 – 20 overs (v New Zealand)
  • England runs scored = 113 + 179 = 292 in 38.166
  • England's runs per over (for) = 292 ÷ 38.166 = 7.65

Runs against

  • Afghanistan 112 all out – 19.4 overs(v England)
  • New Zealand 159/6 – 20 overs (v England)
  • England runs against = 112 + 159 = 271 in 40 overs
  • England's runs per over (against) = 6.78

Overall

  • England's net run rate = 7.65 - 6.78 = 0.87 NRR

Seems I’m wrong, but I don’t see how they knew SA had qualified.
