I'm OK with Stoinis at 7 but no higher. He picked up a couple of crucial wickets and is less likely to leak runs than Green. Green a much better top order bat, but probably not as suited to lower order slogging. Ideally it would be Agar if he wasn't injured.

Sending Maxwell in at 3 was a stupid decision. 16 overs is plenty of time for Smith to bat.

With our run home.

I think if we beat England we will probably make the semis now.

Netherlands, Bangladesh and Afghanistan if we lose to any of them we don't deserve to make it.

But those 4 games makes it a minimum 6-3 W/L record.

Problem is. Weather could play a part, banking wins late is risky

Poms injury concern with Topley, probably their best pace bowler this cup

SA doing good
1/104 - 16 overs

Netherlands were 6/91 at one stage, now 8/246 with 2 overs remaining
They probably bat deeper then all the test playing nations as the end of they day probably just pick the 11 best players.

So unless you have elite bowlers probably a lot of all-rounders who can bat and bowl.

Namibia were similar last year in the T20WC with David Wiese batting at 8.
