biffer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not that you'd realise it, but the World T20 Championship started today. First stage is the groups for minnows to get in to play with the big boys. Scotland playing Afghanistan at the moment, Afghans are 114/2 off 14 overs.

biffer Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 170/5. Not a good last two overs at all. 28 off them. It's still an achievable target though, if a couple of guys get in quickly and hit the ball true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Having said that, it'd be our third highest ever T20 score and we've not beaten Afghanistan in the 6 times we've played them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 1.3bn will watch the India v Pakistan game on TV week Sat.
