00:00 Hello, good morning and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:04 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam and you're watching Sports and Sports and the AYZ Fab.
00:07 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
00:11 Semi-final number one is out of the way.
00:13 It is semi-final number two today that we are getting all set for.
00:17 But before we start our conversation about that, let me bring into the conversation four
00:22 exceptional gentlemen who've been with me throughout this journey of the Pavilion.
00:26 I've got four former Pakistani captains, four outstanding minds in the game of cricket,
00:30 who've been analysing the games with us throughout this journey.
00:33 First up, I've got Shoaib Malik.
00:35 Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Shoaib.
00:37 Good morning, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:40 Next up, I've got the Nahaado Ke Flesh this morning, Miss Paul Haque.
00:45 Good morning and Assalam-o-Alaikum, Miss Paul.
00:46 Good morning, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam everyone.
00:49 And Chandi Ki Nomdi, Silver Fox of the Pavilion.
00:53 I've got Mohit Khan.
00:56 Good morning and Assalam-o-Alaikum, Mohit.
00:57 Sorry, in Urdu, it doesn't sound right in Urdu.
00:59 I just realised.
01:00 Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.
01:01 It doesn't sound right in Urdu.
01:02 I just said it, but now I realise.
01:04 Silver Fox is much better.
01:06 You're also becoming a little creative, Mr. Wasim.
01:09 Yes, that's how it is.
01:10 And finally, the head of all creativity in the Pavilion, friends, the boxer par excellence,
01:17 rapper par excellence, actor par excellence, Sultan Hussein.
01:21 Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Mr. Wasim.
01:23 Good morning, good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:25 The water has risen.
01:26 What?
01:27 The water has risen a little bit, Mr. Wasim.
01:29 Really?
01:30 Yes.
01:31 Are you listening to me?
01:33 Not really.
01:34 Not really, right?
01:35 Don't care.
01:36 He's ignoring you completely.
01:37 You too?
01:38 Not me.
01:39 I can't ignore, man.
01:40 You're all very dear to me.
01:43 What happened, Miss Paul?
01:44 What happened?
01:45 Your chair, our balance was off.
01:48 I must have asked you.
01:50 He's saying it's time for breakfast.
01:52 Order lunch immediately.
01:55 Alright, let's get to the business of the World Cup.
01:58 What a fantastic game last night, Wasim.
02:01 Yeah, fantastic game for India.
02:03 I mean, we spoke about that game last night in length for a couple of hours before and after.
02:09 What a performance.
02:10 Congratulations to India to qualify for the finals without any hiccups.
02:14 I don't think apart from the first game they played or second against Australia in Chennai,
02:19 when they were chasing 200 or something and they lost three wickets.
02:22 That was the only time they had pressure on them.
02:25 But otherwise, out of 10 games they played so far, winning literally one-sided.
02:29 Invincible.
02:30 That's what their performance has been like throughout this World Cup.
02:33 Let's look at the match summary.
02:35 This is how it went down yesterday in Mumbai.
02:37 It was Rohit Sharma who won the toss and elected to bat.
02:40 And they batted really well.
02:41 397 for 4.
02:43 You know, not many people are going to remember when they look at that scorecard,
02:47 they'll say, "Rohit, 47?"
02:49 But that 47 is what really set up India for that big 397 for 4.
02:55 And we'd always be appreciative.
02:57 Rohit doesn't go after records.
02:59 He doesn't want to, you know, if he's not making the centuries, that's fine with him.
03:02 As long as his team is winning, as long as his team gets a winning start, he's okay with that.
03:06 And that's how captains lead.
03:08 Outstanding work by Rohit Sharma and his boys there.
03:10 And in response, in New Zealand, they did try to make a match of it.
03:13 One special partnership there between Mitchell and Williamson looked really, really dangerous at one point.
03:19 But it was not to be.
03:20 It was India winning this one by 70 runs.
03:23 And that's how semifinal number one came to an end.
03:27 And today is semifinal number two.
03:29 And this is the match that we have for you coming up in just a little while.
03:34 South Africa versus Australia.
03:36 Two top-tier teams.
03:37 Two fantastic teams.
03:39 They're going to be going head-to-head in Kolkata at 1.30.
03:42 We'll take you live from here to Kolkata.
03:45 But before we talk about the match, Wasim, the news coming out of Kolkata is it's wet.
03:51 It is cloudy.
03:53 And we'll bring some shots of the stadium on your screen.
03:56 You can see this, Wasim.
03:58 Look at that.
03:59 The covers are up.
04:00 Yeah, the good sign is, Fakhar, that at least they covered the whole ground.
04:03 It means that whenever it rains, the match can start in about 30-45 minutes.
04:09 So that's a good sign.
04:10 And I think every cricket-playing nation should learn how to cover.
04:13 Like Sri Lanka started that trend.
04:15 We've seen it since Asia Cup.
04:17 The groundsmen really, really worked hard.
04:19 It's a hard work to cover the whole ground.
04:21 But with that, obviously, a lot of people say over the years, I've been hearing on social media generally,
04:26 that why don't they make the stadium with a roof?
04:28 Why don't they make it dome-shaped?
04:29 Dome-shaped, but that's too expensive to maintain as well.
04:32 Or that there should be multipurpose stadiums like there is in Melbourne.
04:35 I remember playing an exhibition game in Toronto.
04:37 You were there as well.
04:39 There is one there as well.
04:40 And then one I played in Cardiff.
04:42 There is one there as well.
04:44 But that is multipurpose.
04:45 I think there is football as well.
04:47 They're really amazing, these covered stadiums.
04:49 Yeah, I think their roofs open up.
04:52 If it's not raining, they open up the roof.
04:54 And if it rains, they shut down the roof and it's beautiful.
04:57 Did you ever play at the Houston Astro?
04:59 Because we played at the Astro.
05:01 It's an indoor dome as well.
05:03 It was a friendly match with Shobis.
05:05 But the roof is so high, because one would say that if the sixer is high, you don't know where it will go.
05:10 But in Melbourne, they have big-batch games.
05:12 We played a one-day cricket there.
05:14 If you hit the roof, it's a sixer.
05:15 Oh, is that so?
05:16 Yeah, that's the law.
05:17 Oh wow, that's amazing.
05:18 But it's quite high.
05:19 I think one or two, like Maxwell, maybe Finch has hit it as well.
05:21 I think with the way India's stadiums, which we have seen at the World Cup,
05:25 I think if anyone is going to have these covered stadiums, it will be India first.
05:29 But covered stadiums, it's not feasible.
05:32 I suppose, the weather all year round is fine in our country compared to Europe.
05:36 In England, especially, it rains a lot more than anywhere else in cricketing playing nations.
05:41 That happens in the rainy season in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh.
05:46 That's a couple of three months.
05:48 The monsoon season.
05:49 Yeah, that's why it's not sensible to invest so much, millions and millions of dollars in our part of the world.
05:56 Maybe in England, yes, it might work.
05:58 But again, you also say in cricket, the natural elements also change the course of the game.
06:05 Cloudy weather is the same, sun is there, so it's flat for batting.
06:09 So, I suppose, those things will end.
06:11 Do you remember when we played two of the three ODIs?
06:17 Yeah, it was freezing. It was in June.
06:19 Yeah, it was like minus temperature.
06:22 They had kept it in minus.
06:23 There's a parking under the thing, under the stadium.
06:28 So, the air coming from the parking to the ground, we felt…
06:33 We played two games there and I had three socks, thick socks on.
06:37 But I felt my feet weren't there with me. They were so numb.
06:40 We did a roof competition, three or four of us.
06:44 We tried to throw it.
06:46 Did it hit?
06:47 Yeah, only one guy got hit.
06:48 Whose?
06:49 Lala's.
06:50 Had to be Lala, of all the people.
06:53 Right, so how does this weather impact?
06:57 Who gets the advantage of this weather?
06:59 If the weather is like this, with light clouds and low temperature,
07:04 who gets the advantage? South Africa or Australia?
07:07 Because both have sensational fast bowling.
07:09 I think the composition of both the teams is the same.
07:12 Both depend on their fast bowlers.
07:15 If the moisture is in the pitch or in the air, if they get some help,
07:19 South African bowling, fast bowling, they're doing great bowling.
07:23 They're doing seam, they're swinging the ball a bit.
07:25 Australian is the same, they have three top quality bowlers.
07:29 So, I think overall conditions will be the same for both.
07:32 But the tricky thing is, in this weather,
07:35 it's very important to decide on the toss.
07:38 How many matches will be played?
07:40 15 overs, 20 overs, minimum.
07:42 So, in this situation, ideally, would be batting second?
07:45 Normally, teams choose to bat second.
07:50 But sometimes, the tosses that are happening in the World Cup,
07:54 in the Asia Cup, with Pakistan,
07:56 if you win the toss in this weather and bowl,
07:59 you know that day it wasn't a match, but the next day it was a match.
08:02 That's when you get hurt.
08:04 But what will South Africa do?
08:07 It's a very difficult decision.
08:08 They struggle when they bat second.
08:10 So, what will they do in these conditions?
08:13 I mean, the ratio is 91% when they bat first.
08:16 Winning ratio.
08:17 It already happened to them against Netherlands.
08:20 There was a similar forecast in that match as well.
08:22 They bowled.
08:23 And then we found out, the match was reversed.
08:25 Alright, hold that thought right there.
08:27 We'll talk about that in detail.
08:28 But once we come back from the break.
08:30 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
08:32 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam. You're watching Sports and Sports in the AY Zapad.
08:34 It's semi-final number two.
08:36 Australia versus South Africa.
08:38 And we'll be taking you to Kolkata live for that match.
08:41 It's raining a little bit in Kolkata right now.
08:46 You're worried about flying the goodies?
08:48 No, I'm not that good at flying goodies.
08:50 It's okay.
08:51 You know the one who's really good at flying goodies is Shoaib.
08:55 He knows how to do it.
08:56 He said he can fly goodies in Dubai as well.
08:58 He can fly goodies in Dubai.
08:59 Shoaib, here's my quick question.
09:00 Do they allow you to fly over the speed limits in Dubai?
09:05 Is that allowed there?
09:06 Yes.
09:07 But they have to go to a certain area.
09:08 You have to stay in a certain area.
09:09 You have to fly a little bit out of the city.
09:12 You need a 4-5 km patch.
09:16 It'll be very weird if you see a kite hanging over Burj Al Arab.
09:19 That won't be a good picture.
09:21 They won't allow you to fly over the speed limits.
09:25 The plastic door and the chemicals are dangerous.
09:32 As a young kid, for me, Basant was the ultimate.
09:37 Absolutely.
09:38 I couldn't sleep for the first two weeks.
09:41 I'd save money and buy goodies from my brothers, dad, mom, and grandma.
09:46 I'd spend the night buying goodies.
09:48 I'd go to Jabbad and Githan.
09:51 Oh, you were going to Githan?
09:52 Yes.
09:53 I'd save money for the goodies.
09:54 But I couldn't sleep the night before.
09:56 I'd wake up at 5 am and see the first kite, the music, the whole family.
09:59 The festivities.
10:00 But after he mentioned the chemicals…
10:02 He did a lot.
10:04 He ruined the festival as well.
10:06 It's dangerous.
10:08 People get killed.
10:10 I did train, but it was more beneficial.
10:14 As a kid, I'd see someone going far away.
10:17 People would run after him.
10:19 I'd print it.
10:20 I'd say, "This is a big loot."
10:22 There's a word for it in Lahore, "Chanja."
10:25 The one who holds a stick and breaks the kite with a thorn.
10:29 Like this.
10:30 Because even tall guys would come and take it from above.
10:33 Some were so fast.
10:35 In every group, there was one who'd see the door first.
10:39 He used to guess, am I right?
10:41 Either way, at the door.
10:43 And it was…
10:45 You know, the amount of tourism that Basant brought to Lahore.
10:48 I remember Lahore.
10:49 The city of Lahore used to be…
10:51 Parties, hotels, five-star roofs were booked.
10:54 Every roof in Lahore.
10:56 Defense, Memorial Town.
10:58 It was an amazing festival.
11:00 I know this is out of context a little bit here.
11:03 But I just want to say, instead of banning things,
11:06 like, "Stop this outrightly."
11:08 I know that…
11:09 They must have tried.
11:10 Government must have tried.
11:11 People don't listen.
11:13 People were losing their lives.
11:15 It just became dangerous.
11:17 You'd find out the next day.
11:19 There were deaths that happened.
11:21 Cyclists were the most affected.
11:23 They'd get a chemical wound.
11:25 If you want to fly a kite, and you don't have money, don't fly it.
11:28 They'd put a wire in front of it so it doesn't break.
11:31 When it broke,
11:33 the thin wire that was in front of it,
11:35 someone would get hurt on the bike.
11:38 No, actually, it wasn't just the wire.
11:40 The normal door…
11:42 There were a lot of motorcyclists who had slit their throats.
11:45 And then they died, so they closed it.
11:47 It's a stretch.
11:48 It's nylon-type.
11:49 If it doesn't break, it's dangerous.
11:51 The other door would break.
11:53 The doors that are here now, they don't break.
11:56 Chemical, plastic…
11:58 No, not chemical. Proper doors.
12:00 Proper doors.
12:01 But I have to tell you also another very important thing.
12:04 I was hosting a show called Top of the Pops.
12:06 Yeah.
12:07 Music show.
12:09 And Basant had a huge festival.
12:11 There were concerts for Basant in Lahore.
12:13 So we were there for a lot of coverage.
12:15 And being an aviator, I told my producer,
12:18 "I'd like to fly over Lahore."
12:20 You know, to take a unique angle of a kite flying from that.
12:24 And with a lot of difficulty, we rented a plane from the Lahore Flying Club.
12:28 And we went out flying. And guess what?
12:30 Me and the other gentlemen who were flying, and we had a camera crew with us,
12:34 we showed on TV afterwards.
12:37 There were so many drones that were flying on the wing tips, on the leading edge.
12:41 And they would actually cut into the metal of the aircraft.
12:44 Right?
12:45 That's how dangerous these things were.
12:48 At what height were you flying?
12:50 We were maintaining 3,000-3,500 feet.
12:54 And then coming down, to take a shot, we would come down near Badshahi Mosque.
12:57 But 2,000-2,500 feet, no one would fly over there.
13:00 It was not even higher than us. It was 4,000-4,000 feet.
13:03 It's unfortunate that such a great festival, which I think is a great memory of my childhood.
13:08 But there's nothing more important than human life.
13:11 Yes, no question about it. Absolutely no question about it.
13:14 Safety first.
13:15 Safety, safety, safety first.
13:17 Let's talk about Australia in this coming back to the World Cup.
13:20 We have semi-final number two. Australia versus South Africa.
13:23 Let's talk about Australia. After a little choppy start for your in-laws, basically, the scene.
13:27 Yes, yes.
13:28 I just remembered that's also going on here.
13:30 You know, luckily I have plan A, plan B. Plan A was Pakistan, obviously, now plan B is Australia for me.
13:35 I know. We're with you on that one.
13:37 So, for Australia, there was a little wobbly start, but now they've gone seven games undefeated.
13:42 Yeah, that's Australian cricket for you. That's Australia for you.
13:45 You know, they never lose hope. They fight till the last ball.
13:48 They're physically fit. They're mentally strong.
13:50 And that's why they've been so consistent. I think, if I'm not mistaken, five-time world champions in ODI.
13:55 Yeah.
13:56 And that shows in recent form.
13:58 It'll be a tukkar ka match hone wala hai aaj.
14:01 Toss, jaise Misma ne ka, Shoaib ne bhi, Mohin ne bhi, ki depend karte hai, kitne over ka match hota hai.
14:07 Aaj ka jo law hai, wo yeh hai, ke aaj 20 over tak match hota hai.
14:11 Sahi.
14:12 Uske baad phir yeh ne dubara kahlana padhega.
14:14 If match ek tafa shuru ho jata hai, aur kal jab shuru karenge, toh wahi se shuru karenge jahaan khatam hua hai.
14:20 Once it starts.
14:21 Yeah.
14:22 So, if match nahi hota, then South Africa will qualify because they were on the top on the table.
14:27 Yeh bhi bithna hai, why? On the table, top point.
14:31 Point ke zyada hai, agar woh nahi zyada, toh run rate zyada hota hai.
14:34 Jiska bhi hota, that team would have qualified.
14:36 Well, talking about Australia, we have a feature here, their journey to the semifinals.
14:42 This is Australia's journey to the semifinal.
14:44 There you have it.
14:45 What a journey for Australia.
14:47 With that, we're going to take a break here on The Pavilion, but when we come back, there's more on the other side.
14:50 Stay with us.
14:51 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
14:53 You're watching Esports and Sports in the ARY's app app.
14:55 We're talking about semifinal number two, it's Australia versus South Africa.
14:58 Break pe jaane se pehle, hum log Australia ki hawaale se baat kar rahe the.
15:01 And their journey, we showed you a feature, was, you know, really nice.
15:05 Let's dive deep into the Australian team today.
15:08 They, humne kaha ke seven undefeated matches that they've had behind them to come into the semifinal now,
15:14 after a wobbly start was seen.
15:16 Ji.
15:17 Do they make any changes today?
15:19 Are you anticipating them to be taking on?
15:21 I think from the previous game, they'll definitely got to play Maxwell and then Mitchell Stark.
15:26 They will come in.
15:27 Now the big question would be, will they drop Labashain or Smith?
15:30 Yeah.
15:31 Because Mitch Moss is in great nick and he's well settled as an opener.
15:35 Aur paanchwa bowler to Maxwell hoga, ya Stoenis khelega, ya wo hoga.
15:40 Stoenis ko kaha nahi khila hai, mera nahi khila hai.
15:42 Acha.
15:43 Abbott and Stoenis.
15:44 Abbott, Abbott, Abbott, sorry not Stoenis, Abbott.
15:47 Okay.
15:48 Abbott played.
15:49 Aur second cheez?
15:50 I think inke paas already jis strength se jaa rahe the,
15:53 usme Maxwell as a sixth bowler ko use kaha rahe the.
15:55 Hmm.
15:56 Sorry, fifth bowler ko use kaha rahe the.
15:58 But they have options, in terms of having a sixth bowler.
16:01 I think wo option nazar aate hai.
16:03 Isi wajah se main samajhta hu ki yeh do jo changes jo abhi Wasim bhai ne mata hi,
16:07 yeh toh bahut important changes hongi.
16:09 Hmm.
16:10 Yaah pe Australia ke liye, Maxwell, the man in form, rest karaya tha unko and then.
16:14 Coach Seamer, I think Mitch Marsh hote hai unke paas.
16:17 Yeah.
16:18 Mitch Marsh bhi, milkul Mitch Marsh bhi majood hai.
16:20 Basically fifth aur sixth bowler jaa unke Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head aur Glenn Maxwell.
16:25 Right.
16:26 Cameron Green nahi khil rahe hain, Stoenis jo hai wo bhi aaj most probably change hoga
16:30 kyuki do logon ne beech mein aana hai.
16:33 Toh yeh teen logon jo hai, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell aur Mitchell Marsh.
16:36 Yeh unke fifth aur sixth bowler hain.
16:38 If there is any kind of weakness in Australian camp, that's it.
16:43 That's the fifth bowler jo share hota hai, teen bowlers, mere Shoaib ne abhi naam nahi hai.
16:48 I think the way Maxwell is bowling throughout the World Cup, I mean, 2015 me bhi,
16:54 aise lagta hai ke Maxwell easy bowler lagta hai.
16:57 But the way he bowls, normally he bowls too over in the powerplay also.
17:00 Left hander aate hain, even right handers ko, bahut smart bowling karte hain.
17:06 Wo itna aasaan bowler nahi hai, wickets bhi le rahe hain.
17:08 Street smart hai.
17:09 Over the wicket karte hain, wahan pe jab batters set ho jaye, toh foran round the wicket chale jaate hain.
17:15 Toh wo settle nahi hone dete.
17:17 Kyuki unko bhi pata hai, proactive hai, as a team bhi aur as a bowler bhi,
17:21 jo unke fifth aur sixth bowler hain.
17:23 Wo kya karte hain, change karte rahe te, unko pata hai ke teams jo hai,
17:27 they're gonna come after us.
17:30 So usme wo kya karte hain, wo proactive, street smartness, wo ye hi hoti hai,
17:35 wo settle nahi hone dete, apne ends change kar lete hain.
17:37 Toh yeh bahut zaruri hai, kyuki aapko pata hai ke aapke peechhe doosri team aayegi aayegi.
17:42 Wo plan karke aaye honge, yeh combination se aap jaa rahe hain.
17:45 Target kiya hota hai, na?
17:46 Target kiya hota hai, kyuki baaki jo unke chaar bowler hain,
17:48 jisme Josh Hazlewood hain, Mitchell Stark hain, Pat Cummings hain aur Adam Zampa.
17:53 Yeh unke main bowlers hain, jinn pe wo bahut zyada rely karte hain.
17:56 Jaise current situation me match jaata hai, toh inn chaaron me se koi aak hai jo hai,
18:00 wo bowling karte hain.
18:01 Australia ka thora sas World Cup me humne dekha hai, power play me victor lene ka issue raha hai.
18:04 Pehle 10 overon me sirf 11 victor lene hai, jitne bhi abhi tak 9, plus 7, 10th match hoga unka.
18:10 So wo problem hain, hala ke naye ball se bahut zyabardast bowling karte hain.
18:13 Hazlewood, back of a lens, both seams both way,
18:16 Mitchell Stark comes in, 145, 150 plus, uska itna naya ball abhi swing nahi ho raha.
18:21 But, and Cummings is also struggling, Cummings, Cummings, the captain is struggling.
18:25 Ek cheez jo hai, wo hai aaj, particularly jis team ke aap against khel rahe hain,
18:30 their bowling attack, as we all said, ke wo bahut acha hai.
18:34 Aur waha us bowling attack ko tackle karne ke liye aapko conventional cricketers chahiye hain,
18:40 aapki batting line up me.
18:42 Toh Manas Labhushain, aur Smith, aur Warner, ye 3 bande aise hain,
18:48 inme se aaj at least 2 logon ko runs karne padege.
18:51 Kyunki mostly Australia jo hai, highly relying on all-rounders.
18:56 Toh jab unke saamne real pace aati hai, Mitchell Marsh ke saamne nahi, jo baaki ki hain,
19:01 toh they struggle, thoda sa wo struggle karte hain.
19:04 Toh jo conventional cricket khelne wale hain, wo usme Warner, Manas Labhushain, aur Steve Smith,
19:11 inpe boho zyada depend karega, wo chahiye pehli batting ho, chahiye doosri batting ho, Australia.
19:16 Iske aaleg ye dono inka khelna boho zaroori, Australia inko laazmi khilata hai,
19:20 Steve Smith aur Labhushain, kyunki middle overs mein, aapki jo baaki saari batting,
19:25 top 3 agar dekhe, wo bahut free khelte hain, freely khelte hain, they just go after the bowling.
19:30 Toh unko beech mein aise bande chahiye hain, jo thoda sa, jaise India ki team mein,
19:35 agar aap dekhe unke 3-4 batsmen aise hain, jo agar khade hain, toh wo scoreboard ko leke bhi jaate hain,
19:41 aur lamba khelte hain. Toh I think inke paas do hai, fir neeche chhate number mein,
19:45 Maxwell aajaate hain, toh zaroori hai, mera nahi khayal ki in do mein se wo kisi ko chhedenge hain.
19:50 How good has been Adam Zampa, Mohin, throughout? Shuruwaat unki badi ajeeb se hui thi,
19:54 but once he got going, he became one of the key factors for Australia for this campaign.
20:00 Abhi jab hum dekh rehte hai, ek feature chal raha tha program, jo cheez do important points,
20:08 jo mere kaar se guzre, wo ek ta fun, they are enjoying it, theek hai, and they are taking as an opportunity.
20:15 Har player ka failure zaroor hota hai, you know, aur aap overcome karne ke liye aapko,
20:20 naturally us position mein, us situation mein aake, apne aapko enjoy zaroor karna padta hai,
20:26 because ke agar aap enjoy nahi karenge us situation ko, us moment ko,
20:30 aap always, aapke par bahut zyad aur pressure aajege. I think, unhone simply apni jo problem aari thi,
20:36 jahaan pe pehle humne do matches mein dekha, Zampa off stump, outside the off stump bowling kar rahe the,
20:41 but unhone forend usko change ki aake, within the stumps bowling karne shuru ki,
20:45 close to the stump bowling karne shuru ki, and that's how he gets the success.
20:49 Like unka jo flipper, googly, even the leg spin was, thoda close to the stump, wahan se break kar rahe the.
20:55 Aur isi mein success mili hai, aur jahaan pe batsmen ko problem bhi hoti hai,
21:00 kyunke aap hit maane jate hain, then you get problem.
21:04 So yahaan pe jis tarah bowling ki hai, like totally, todi si low trajectory pe bhi ball ki hai,
21:09 sometime he used the pace also, I think itna easy nahi hota hai, and he is a top class bowler.
21:15 No question about it.
21:16 Opponent jo aapke khilaf khada hote hain, usko bhi pata de, wicket taking bowler hai,
21:19 to aap risk itna zyada nahi lete hain, aap undecisive, indecisive hote ho,
21:23 double mind hote ho jate ho, ussi mein aapko wicket milte hote hain ki,
21:26 came on the basics, within the stumps, yeh unki success thi tournament mein.
21:31 We're talking about Adam Zampa, we've got him with us right now, let's listen in.
21:35 Alright, with that we're gonna take a break here on The Pavilion, when we come back, we're closing the action, stay with us.
21:40 Welcome back to The Pavilion, it's semi final number 2, Australia vs South Africa,
21:44 hum iske baare mein baat kare the, just a few things that we, let's discuss.
21:48 Head to head count jo hai, Waseem, badi interesting hai dono teamon ki.
21:51 7 times they have faced each other in a World Cup game, 3 times won by Australia,
21:56 3 times by South Africa, once it was tied.
22:00 Ek bhi ho gaye, doosa South Africa has never made it to a World Cup final,
22:05 and Australia have only lost 1 semi final in their entire history.
22:10 Interesting.
22:11 I think this is all past, it all depends ke present form kya hai, present mindset kya hai dono teamon ka.
22:17 Agar recently dekha jaye, recent past mein dekha jaye, toh bhi jo series South Africa mein hoiti,
22:22 Australia ki 5-1 day mein, Australia were 2 up, and then they lost the series.
22:27 And that's when the world got to know Klassen, ki what a player he is, agar wo nahi chala bhi 3-4 matchon mein,
22:33 aisa player chal gaya toh akela hi match leke jaa sakte, like Maxwell did against Afghanistan.
22:39 So he's that sort of player, so semi final, back of the mind,
22:44 obviously unke zain mein hoga South African team ke, ki unka tag kya unpe laga hua,
22:48 wo social media padte hain, wo chahenge ki ye tag kis tarah unse harte,
22:52 the only way wo tag unse harte sakta hai, to win the game today and qualify for the finals first time.
22:58 Fun bit of trivia also guys, this is the third time these teams are meeting in a semi final of the World Cup,
23:02 the highest between two teams ever, so that's interesting. Yes, Mohit Shrimp, please.
23:07 Ek question hai sabse, wo yeh hai, ke jaise Klassen ki aapne Wasim bhai baat ki,
23:12 ya Glenn Maxwell hai, ya is tarah ke jo power hitters hain, jo aapse game ko door le jate hain,
23:19 jo agar ek, let's suppose ek condition hai, wo uspe 300 run banne chahiye,
23:25 lekin ye aise batters hain, ye power hitters, ye us 300 ko us pitch pe 350 pe le jate hain,
23:32 ponhe 400 pe le jate hain, toh inke liye kya plan hona chahiye captain ka,
23:37 ke ye aatein inko death hovers wali bowling shuru karke, death field placement wali kar deni chahiye,
23:43 ta ki inki wicket kisi tarah buy ki jaye.
23:46 Death bowling is bit of a early on to any batter in any format, most of the time,
23:52 death bowling karne se kya hoga, agar teen mitten giri hai, agar aapne wo shuru kar diye,
23:56 toh it means aapne usko set hi kar diye, wo 2-4 over mein set ho jayega, it'll be more dangerous.
24:00 Then ye boundary wale fielder nahi kaam karenge, toh the first I would do to attack,
24:05 pehle 4-5 over jo bhi slip rakhni hai, early on, just spinner mein laga hua, chance loon,
24:10 inko main thoda sa, you know, maybe mid-on upar leke, leg break hoke, off stump ke baad ball kar,
24:15 thoda chod ke, chikha maar, na de mid-on ki tarah chance lete hain.
24:18 So, is tarah ki cheeze karun, then I go to plan B.
24:21 I think, Basim bhai, sabse important cheeze hai, wo yeh hai,
24:24 ke aapne pattern dekhna us batsman ka, jaise example doon,
24:28 Situation, when he comes out to bat,
24:30 koi Virat Kohli hai jaise, ek match mein, jahan pe wo, jaldi out ho,
24:35 kya hua hai, England ne plan kya kiya hai, early on, strike rotation nahi hone de.
24:41 Toh pattern hai, yeh settle ho jayate hain,
24:43 inko early on, agar aap singles de do 2-3, that's his comfort zone.
24:48 Usko bilkul boundary hai, aare maar loon.
24:51 Squeeze kiya hai, and then he has to play that shot.
24:54 Toh isi tarah, jo hitter hai, wo other way round hai,
24:56 aap dekhenge, normally Klasen aake kya karte hai,
24:59 early on, wo kya chahata hai, mujhe kya chahiye.
25:01 When you just basically make him to do something else,
25:05 ke yaar apne comfort zone se pehle,
25:07 2-4 singles tune lehne hai, wo nahi dene,
25:10 jaise aapne baat ki, me dawn upar rakhne hai,
25:12 aate hi tum comfort zone se nikalke, ki haan, chhikka maar na maar.
25:16 So that sort of little games can help you taking wickets.
25:20 Jaise Malik ne kaha, boho zaruri hai,
25:22 aise batsmen ko apne pattern pe khelne denge,
25:25 toh ek time aaya, jo game aapse le jaye.
25:28 Alright.
25:29 I think, Maseem bhai ne, achha describe ke,
25:33 I think, naturally, jab koi bhi duniya ka badda se badda batsman,
25:36 inform batsman bhi ho, they always take time.
25:39 Toh wohi time hota hai, basically, agar aap,
25:41 unusual thodi se fielding unko, unke comfort zone se baar nikalne ki,
25:45 koshish kare, toh usme hi aapko chance hota hai,
25:47 ke aap usko out karein maape,
25:49 and that's how you can put pressure on the opponents.
25:52 Agar set ho jaye, jis tarah ki batsmen hai,
25:54 jo hum dekhen hai, jis tarah ki,
25:56 yeh live images aari hai, yeh ground se covers hatane shut kar di,
25:59 as you can see.
26:00 That's a good sign.
26:01 That's a good sign.
26:02 Which looks good too.
26:03 Yeah.
26:04 Yeh aisa hi pitch tha,
26:05 jab hum log 2016 mein pehla match India ke against khele hain.
26:09 Acha.
26:10 Toh,
26:11 barish hui thi aisa hi.
26:12 Aisa hi barish hui thi,
26:13 we were unsure ke match hoga, nahi hoga,
26:16 bair jab match hua,
26:18 toh humne chaar pacer daale,
26:20 uthe and and a break ho raha thi.
26:23 Oh, okay.
26:24 So that's what you're anticipating, Shoaib?
26:25 Yeh aisa hi pitch tha wo bhi.
26:27 Upar se milkul aisa hi lag raha tha,
26:29 dry pe pitch.
26:30 Wah, mic ko kya dry ho raha tha,
26:31 yeh aisa hi break ho raha tha,
26:32 ya moisture tha uski wajah se grip kar raha tha?
26:33 Woh, kyunke dhoop lagi nahi thi pitch ko,
26:35 aur upar se aisa dry lag raha tha,
26:37 bada firm lag raha tha pitch.
26:40 Lekin, woh pehla hi over,
26:41 merahal Ashwin ne ki hai.
26:42 Ashwin ne ki hai.
26:43 Right.
26:44 Woh, pehla hi yun kar ke break hua hai,
26:45 usko ball uske baad,
26:46 uske baad,
26:47 uske baad,
26:48 woh break hi.
26:49 Second innings mein betar ho gaya tha,
26:51 it means that was little bit of moisture at the top,
26:54 woh grip uski wajah se...
26:55 Second innings mein bhi break ho raha tha ball,
26:58 lekin woh,
26:59 I know aagaya thi,
27:00 koli aagaya thi.
27:01 Raaste mein koli aagaya tha.
27:03 Okay.
27:04 Alright, so the good news is that the covers are being removed in Kolkata,
27:11 and we are definitely going towards the game.
27:13 Let's talk about the South African captain,
27:15 Temba Bavuma.
27:17 Waseem, he had a bit of a hamstring issue in the last game,
27:21 koti scene jini unhone ki,
27:23 but he is a very important and integral part of the South African team.
27:26 Even though he has not been delivering the goods in terms of with his batting,
27:30 but he has been leading the team really well.
27:32 Is World Cup mein, I think, se pehle woh theek tha form mein tha.
27:36 Ji, ji, ji, ji.
27:37 He really, really played well,
27:38 but obviously,
27:39 and he has got a bit of a hamstring,
27:41 yeh unka fitness test ho raha hai,
27:43 jo humein bataaya gaya tha,
27:44 ke subah unka fitness test hoga.
27:46 I think either way,
27:48 if he plays or if he doesn't play,
27:50 our South African team is strong.
27:52 Agar yeh nahi khelta, to Reza Hendricks aajaega,
27:54 who is also a very good player and a gun fielder,
27:56 like the skipper,
27:58 and uska woh right up tha,
28:00 dekhen tha,
28:02 woh hamstring muscle iska pull hua hai.
28:04 But hamstring ka yeh problem hai,
28:06 ki do teen mein lagta hai theek ho gaya hai.
28:08 Aap net mein bowling bhi karlo, nahi pain hoti,
28:10 aap net mein running sprint bhi maar lo,
28:12 nahi pain hoti.
28:13 Un match mein,
28:14 doosra ball karo, woh khich jaayega.
28:15 Asil mein, Wasim bhai,
28:17 sabse jo bada hai,
28:19 as a batsman,
28:21 mujhe hui hai do teen taba,
28:23 hota kaha hai,
28:25 aapki acceleration,
28:27 de-acceleration,
28:29 usme aapko sabse zyada hurt kar di.
28:31 As a batter,
28:33 aapne jab jana hai,
28:35 ekdum aapne static position se,
28:37 ball khel ke ekdum accelerate karna hai,
28:39 aur phir rukna hai,
28:41 usme aapki hamstring aur jo calf hai,
28:43 sabse zyada masla hota hai,
28:45 jab aapke paas ball aata hai, aur aap jhukte hai.
28:47 Kyunki main Sri Lanka mein khela hoon,
28:49 fielding mein,
28:51 hamstring ke saath,
28:53 I've played 5 ODIs,
28:55 almost blue tha saara hamstring,
28:57 to sabse zyada problem hoti hai,
28:59 jab aap niche hote hain,
29:01 ball ko pick karne ke liye,
29:03 kyunki aapke hamstring sabse zyada,
29:05 dab stretch hote hain,
29:07 jab aap jhukte hain,
29:09 ball ko pick karne ke liye.
29:11 Ekdum aap dhodhe hai,
29:13 and then you have to stop,
29:15 aur phir accelerate,
29:17 jaise aap toh lag ho gaya.
29:19 Aur phir hamstring.
29:21 Ab yaha pe yeh hai,
29:23 agar aap as a player hoon,
29:25 aur aap important hai team ke liye,
29:27 toh aap isko carry karke,
29:29 aap pata nahi kis level ki hai,
29:31 woh injury khel sakte hain,
29:33 but jab aap leader hoon,
29:35 usme ab aapne yeh dekhna hai,
29:37 ke agar aap khel rahe hain,
29:39 toh hamstring bhi nahi hona chahiye.
29:41 Sabko pata hai ki injury hai,
29:43 agar injury runner bhi nahi milna,
29:45 aur fielder bhi nahi milna,
29:47 because injure khel raha hai.
29:49 Aur aapke pe replacement bhi hai,
29:51 aur wo skore karke bhi bhatha hai,
29:53 toh I think minor sabhi agar hai,
29:55 toh itne bade bhi nahi chahiye.
29:57 You don't want to be a liability,
29:59 you don't want to go into the knockout,
30:01 and half cooked,
30:03 half injured,
30:05 not knowing you 100% fit,
30:07 you know, you're a good captain bhi hai,
30:09 sabse zyada important.
30:11 Ek aur lafz bhi aagaya hai mujhe,
30:13 Hemis string.
30:15 Hemis, Hemis,
30:17 logatich likhlo,
30:19 hum logat chhaapne lagaya hain,
30:21 iske baad ek poori pavilion ki,
30:23 this is the VASVACAB ki naam se,
30:25 title release hoga yeh,
30:27 aur aapke corner bookstore pe
30:29 tisthyaab hoga yeh kitab.
30:31 Iski ek book mani jayegi mera.
30:33 Mani jayegi, itne saare lafz aayi rahe hain.
30:35 Iske post match aur final post match,
30:37 we have to talk about that.
30:39 Jee, I have to go on break.
30:41 Hum ek baat kar rahe hain,
30:43 it's good to see that covers are just going off.
30:45 Lekin mujhe lagta hai ki aisi situation me,
30:47 jin teamon ne khelna hota hai,
30:49 unke liye koi yeh,
30:51 koi achas,
30:53 kyunki aap chahate hain, itna bada match hai,
30:55 ki ek clear picture ho aapke saapne,
30:57 ki poora match hona,
30:59 barish nahi hai, kuch nahi hai,
31:01 taaki ek decision aap kar sakein.
31:03 Aisi situation me,
31:05 South Africa ne thui, toh try kar liya,
31:07 khel khel ke nahi poch sakein.
31:09 Ab dua karein, marish ki bagar khel ho poch sakein.
31:11 Mohit, really?
31:13 Break le lo.
31:15 Mera gharna hai, break le leta hu.
31:17 Music chala chala aapke,
31:19 do dafa break ka music chala hai,
31:21 aur aap beech mein bol padte hain.
31:23 We'll take a break, we'll see you on the other side.
31:25 Welcome back to the Pavilion,
31:27 it's semi-final number two that we're talking about,
31:29 from Kolkata, it's going to be Australia
31:31 and we were moving, we were watching,
31:33 but we were just finding out that it started drizzling again.
31:35 We're certainly hoping that
31:37 we get to see a game of cricket,
31:39 getting back to South Africa.
31:41 Main ek gauz zor se baat aa rahi hai.
31:43 Tu reply kar di na loka nu during the show.
31:45 During the show nahi,
31:47 I reply to a few people during the break.
31:49 I hope not, yeah.
31:51 The show will be a bit too much.
31:53 Because here's the thing,
31:55 considering that in the break,
31:57 the kind of conversation that Mizba is having,
31:59 I'd rather reply to people on pay.
32:01 Explain, elaborate.
32:03 No need to elaborate.
32:05 No, you do actually.
32:07 Mizba kya baat kar rahe hain?
32:09 Khaane ki baat, wohi khaane ki purani baat.
32:11 Easy target.
32:13 Easy target.
32:15 Woh aap kehte hain na,
32:17 one job.
32:19 Yes.
32:21 Let's get to the job.
32:23 We have a job in hand right now.
32:25 Ek taraf se sir jawab nahi aana hai,
32:27 we've got a feature on South Africa.
32:29 Let's take a look.
32:31 Alright, there you have it.
32:33 The South Africa feature.
32:35 And, Basim,
32:37 let's talk about Quinton de Kock here.
32:39 He's been fantastic throughout this
32:41 World Cup for South Africa.
32:43 Unbelievable.
32:45 400 so far in this World Cup or 3?
32:47 400.
32:49 400s and what a player.
32:51 It's a treat to watch.
32:53 Love watching him, especially against the short ball.
32:55 And the back of the bouncer,
32:57 the shot he hits,
32:59 that's it, down the leg side,
33:01 the pick-up shot,
33:03 he's equally strong behind square,
33:05 in front of square, offside as well.
33:07 A complete package
33:09 when we talk about
33:11 this is the shot I talk about.
33:13 And he hits high as well.
33:15 He goes out as well.
33:17 He's equally good.
33:19 Just a class player in every format.
33:21 Take T20, take this, take test matches.
33:23 I mean, he's one of my favorite
33:25 players in
33:27 the world right now.
33:29 As an opener, as a keeper,
33:31 and unfortunately, I read before the World Cup,
33:33 he has announced his retirement
33:35 from ODI Cricket.
33:37 But cricket needs players like him.
33:39 He's a treat to watch.
33:41 How is it possible, Mohin, that
33:43 somebody who keeps the wickets for 50 overs
33:45 and then bats like this, or
33:47 bats like this, scores essentially and then goes and
33:49 keeps the wickets for 50 overs
33:51 because it's quite, it takes a lot
33:53 at all keeping the wickets.
33:55 The most important element is passion
33:57 and then, of course, fitness comes first
33:59 after that.
34:01 He's fit, after keeping for 50 overs.
34:03 And the wicketkeeper's
34:05 reflexes are
34:07 better than the others.
34:09 I think that's
34:11 a big advantage.
34:13 The way he plays on the new ball,
34:15 the way he plays in flow,
34:17 constantly puts pressure
34:19 on the opponents.
34:21 I think, to be a player like this
34:23 in any team,
34:25 it's a big blessing for the team.
34:27 The form he's been through, he's played for four centuries.
34:29 You know, everywhere, like
34:31 Wasim Bhai said, he's played shots everywhere.
34:33 The bowler doesn't know
34:35 where to play, you know.
34:37 It's very difficult for him.
34:39 I think he's a tremendous player and very unfortunate
34:41 as Wasim Bhai said,
34:43 he's retired from ODI
34:45 at such a young age.
34:47 I think, as Cricket South Africa
34:49 will announce 10 lakh rupees,
34:51 he'll come back.
34:53 It's possible.
34:55 The biggest difference is,
34:57 Malik has also noted
34:59 that this time,
35:01 normally, he's quiet
35:03 and not involved,
35:05 but this time, the way he's
35:07 in batting,
35:09 in keeping, when there's a missed field,
35:11 the bowler makes a wrong ball,
35:13 he makes sure
35:15 that the bowler is involved.
35:17 He makes sure that
35:19 it looks like they want to
35:21 just do something special.
35:23 One thing is for sure,
35:25 when this guy makes runs,
35:27 the rest of the team
35:29 makes runs too.
35:31 And the South African team looks different.
35:33 The problem they're facing in the chasing matches
35:35 is that when he gets out
35:37 early, so the whole
35:39 batting lineup, they struggle.
35:41 In the last match, he scored 41 runs.
35:43 So, he's been chasing.
35:45 So, A, A is very
35:47 important in their batting lineup.
35:49 Especially,
35:51 when they bat, they're there,
35:53 but when they go into chasing,
35:55 if they make runs,
35:57 the chasing element with South Africa
35:59 is also there, they get under pressure,
36:01 they can't chase,
36:03 the chances increase if he scores
36:05 runs, if they bat second.
36:07 But let me ask you this, Shoaib.
36:09 There's a lot of dependency on Quinton De Kock.
36:11 But you know, you do have class batsmen
36:13 other than him in that South African lineup.
36:15 You know, you've got Mark Rum
36:17 there as well. He can take the game away
36:19 all by himself. You've got Klaasan there,
36:21 who is alone. I mean, these are the people who can
36:23 deliver the whole victory stand-alone.
36:25 No doubt, they're very good batters.
36:27 But they're
36:29 situation-based batters, where
36:31 they get an easy, momentum-based situation.
36:33 Where, making the game
36:35 and then taking it to the end
36:37 and finishing it,
36:39 that's missing somewhere.
36:41 We only see that in the Indian batting lineup.
36:43 They know how to tackle
36:45 those three different situations.
36:47 But in South Africa,
36:49 that's not the case.
36:51 They need momentum,
36:53 and if it's mixed from the top,
36:55 they can take the game forward.
36:57 But as soon as they get under pressure,
36:59 they don't know how to tackle in that particular situation.
37:01 Yes, if they're lucky,
37:03 they'll come out of it.
37:05 But tackling it, where the mind is,
37:07 that's missing in their batting lineup.
37:09 That's why, it's very important for Quinton
37:11 to score runs.
37:13 Alright, we've got Aidan Markram with us.
37:15 Let's listen in.
37:17 Aidan Markram there. Aidan Markram was the
37:19 U-19 captain for South Africa
37:21 in 2014.
37:23 And they defeated Pakistan in the final.
37:25 This is what happens when you don't
37:27 reply during breaks.
37:29 You read the stand.
37:31 This wasn't a break. This was Aidan Markram's
37:33 package. - This was a break for you.
37:35 Alright, I'll take a break for the reply.
37:37 We're going to take a break. - There are four mouths open here.
37:39 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
37:41 Semi-final number two. It's Australia
37:43 versus South Africa. And we're getting ready
37:45 for the action in Kolkata.
37:47 And with that, I just wanted to
37:49 say, Wasim. - Yes, sir.
37:51 Let's go for the pitch.
37:53 - Sure. - Okay. - Let's do the pitch report.
37:55 - Yeah, go nuts. - Here's the pitch report.
37:57 Well, your thoughts, gentlemen?
37:59 Massive statement from
38:01 Poumi, I must say.
38:03 He said, "Doesn't matter the weather.
38:05 The team that will not toss will definitely
38:07 bat." And Heidos also said,
38:09 "They deviated a little bit.
38:11 3.02mm
38:13 turns are more here,
38:15 apparently." I mean, this is too much detail.
38:17 This really is. It's not going to
38:19 make any... It's not going to help me in
38:21 any way. Just say that the turn
38:23 is a little more. - One more thing
38:25 that can be discussed in depth, Wasim.
38:27 If there's a turning pitch,
38:29 will it help the finger spinner
38:31 more or the wrist spinner?
38:33 - Maharaj has been...
38:35 - And then, in that,
38:37 which team has more finger spinners
38:39 and which team has more wrist spinners? - Here, Maharaj is
38:41 the one who is bowling brilliantly in the
38:43 World Cup. - Or Shamsi. - Shamsi is not in the
38:45 playing 11. - And then, Makram.
38:47 - Makram can bowl off-spins, yeah? - Yeah.
38:49 - I mean, Maharaj, you have 23 wickets already in this
38:51 World Cup, averaging 23. Beautiful.
38:53 Beautiful, typical left-arm
38:55 spinner, whose pace
38:57 varies. The line is a little
38:59 off-spin, but he takes a chance
39:01 against the new batsman.
39:03 He leaves it in the air. - Yeah.
39:05 - But what happens with Australia then? Finger spin, but...
39:07 Glenn Maxwell? - Glenn Maxwell and then
39:09 Adam Zampa and then Travis Head.
39:11 - Travis Head, yeah. - They have
39:13 three guys as well. One of them is
39:15 the main spinner. But
39:17 we had also discussed a little about Glenn Maxwell.
39:19 His seam positioning
39:21 is such that he gets
39:23 less turns. His ball
39:25 goes through the scramble seam.
39:27 That's why he mostly
39:29 goes around the wicket against right-handers.
39:31 So that the ball comes out of the angle.
39:33 - Cross. - Because as a batter,
39:35 you think, as soon as the off-spinner comes,
39:37 you mostly think
39:39 that he'll give me runs down the ground
39:41 and towards the mid-wicket.
39:43 But when the ball comes out of the angle,
39:45 you go with the cross bat,
39:47 the top edges are enough. But
39:49 both teams have
39:51 such spinners who
39:53 can give tough time to each other's batters.
39:55 - Win the toss and you don't get to bat.
39:57 Right? I mean, sorry, you lose the toss.
39:59 You don't get to bat. What do you...
40:01 How do you play the game then?
40:03 - It's one of those... You see, it's difficult
40:05 to talk about pitch
40:07 while we are sitting here.
40:09 - Right. - Go there, feel it,
40:11 see it, put your palm on it,
40:13 see how much moisture is there.
40:15 And I think it's one of those tosses where
40:17 the captain would like to lose, maybe.
40:19 So that he doesn't have to make a decision.
40:21 - He won't want a 100% cover.
40:23 - Yeah, they would like to win the toss and bat.
40:25 Definitely. - I think, Wasim bhai,
40:27 what you said, there and then
40:29 you can assess.
40:31 Like, when you put your hand on it,
40:33 you feel that the pitch
40:35 is a little cold. You feel
40:37 there's moisture on top. If it's not there,
40:39 then I don't think
40:41 there's a problem. But if there's moisture,
40:43 then it's tricky.
40:45 Anything can happen. First, in batting,
40:47 there can be a grip.
40:49 When there's no grass on the pitch,
40:51 the ball doesn't slide.
40:53 Even if there's a little moisture on top,
40:55 then it's difficult to bat.
40:57 - Alright, guys, you know what?
40:59 With that, we're taking you straight back to Kolkata
41:01 where both the captains are walking out to the field
41:03 to flip the coin, brought to you by Samsung Flip.
41:05 Alright, the news out of Kolkata
41:07 is that South Africa
41:09 have won the toss and have elected to bat.
41:11 Does that put Australia
41:13 under pressure straight away?
41:15 - A little bit, because that's what South Africa
41:17 wanted, and that's what the pitch report
41:19 said as well. The ball will turn,
41:21 300-290 is a good score.
41:23 But Australia is tough physically,
41:25 mentally, and it's a knockout game.
41:27 They've been there before. 7 plays out,
41:29 that's what Michael Atkinson asked the Australian
41:31 skipper. So, yeah,
41:33 you know,
41:35 favour to South Africa,
41:37 because that's what they wanted, that's where the strength is.
41:39 Get runs on the board, get to 300.
41:41 But Australian bowling will
41:43 have a go at them early on.
41:45 - Let me ask you, now that we know that there's
41:47 a bit of moisture in that pitch,
41:49 South Africa, they like to bat first,
41:51 that's also understood. But
41:53 will the Australian seamers and
41:55 fast bowlers be able to extract something from this pitch
41:57 right at the start of the game?
41:59 - Look, moisture, we can't
42:01 guess from here, but
42:03 they will try. I mean,
42:05 their fast bowlers are like Hazlewood,
42:07 who hits the seam on a pitch like this,
42:09 we've seen that somewhere
42:11 in the last few matches as well,
42:13 that they get help.
42:15 It's very important for South Africa
42:17 to have such big players, they'll be under pressure,
42:19 it's very important for them to start well.
42:21 - Alright, Mohit, why don't you take us
42:23 through South Africa playing 11 on your screens?
42:25 - Yes, Bahuma,
42:27 Tickhawk, Tewson, Markram,
42:29 Claassen, Baylor, Jansen,
42:31 Maharaj, Koitzi, Rabada, Shamsi,
42:33 playing for Nageedi.
42:35 The team has changed one.
42:37 I think they are in a
42:39 great form.
42:41 They've made a good composition
42:43 looking at the pitch.
42:45 - Australia, Wasim, take us through.
42:47 - Yes, Australia,
42:49 couple of changes in that,
42:51 Warner, two lefties,
42:53 Marsh, who's in great nick,
42:55 Smithcourt 50 as well, Labusheh, proper batter,
42:57 Maxwell, we know what he did
42:59 against one of the teams, 200,
43:01 Afghanistan, English who can bat
43:03 as well, and then of course, three fast bowlers
43:05 and the main spinner,
43:07 Adam Zampa, so looks a very
43:09 strong side, this Australian team.
43:11 - One more thing,
43:13 after winning the toss,
43:15 we know that there will be rain,
43:17 distractions in the match,
43:19 so why should you do that
43:21 after winning the toss? - Batting?
43:23 - Batting. It's because
43:25 it's a reserved day, and if the match
43:27 stops at any point,
43:29 and it goes on the next day,
43:31 it will start from there. - It won't start new.
43:33 - It won't start new, the match will start from there.
43:35 Like we saw in the Asia Cup,
43:37 the Pakistan-India match,
43:39 it went on the second day,
43:41 but it started from there.
43:43 So that's an element. - If it stops
43:45 there and then, whatever
43:47 starts, if it's a 50-over match,
43:49 - If it's a rescheduled match,
43:51 then the rescheduled match
43:53 will start from there,
43:55 say the match is short,
43:57 25 overs, so all the overs
43:59 in 25 overs, the next day
44:01 25 will start from there.
44:03 And if it's 50-over,
44:05 and the match has stopped,
44:07 then the match will start from there.
44:09 So this, many times,
44:11 the viewers get confused,
44:13 what happened? If it's a rescheduled match,
44:15 then it means
44:17 if it's a 40-over match,
44:19 then it will go on 40. - Alright, with that,
44:21 we're gonna take a break here, but when we come back,
44:23 we're very close to semi-final number 2.
44:25 Stay with us. Welcome back to The Pavilion,
44:27 the news out of Kolkata is that South Africa
44:29 have won the toss, and have elected to
44:31 bat, and before going on break,
44:33 we showed you the playing elements, and with that, it's time for
44:35 Expert Predictions, brought to you by
44:37 Express Power. Alright, let's start with you,

44:53 - Take a name other than Australia.
44:55 - South Africa for me.
44:57 - What kind of a mess was that? - I have no idea.
44:59 - Silver Fox?
45:01 - Yes. - So much Silver Fox?
45:03 - What was it in Urdu?

45:15 Okay.
45:17 - Australia, I don't even know the name of the border.
45:19 - Okay, sir. - You really don't have to.
45:21 - He doesn't need your support, buddy.
45:23 - No, no, trust me.
45:25 - Alright, next time, take care of the final.
45:27 - Today, Malik will be the one to say 50-50.
45:29 - Yes, today Malik will say 50-50.
45:31 - I need clarity, I asked you.
45:33 - What is the clarity?
45:35 - Clarity is that Australia is winning the World Cup.
45:37 - Whoa, big statement.
45:39 - Big statement.
45:41 - Big, big statement.
45:43 And those were your expert predictions,
45:45 brought to you by Express Power.
45:47 And with that, it's time for the player to watch out for,
45:49 brought to you by Ufone.
45:51 Alright, Shebi.
45:53 - Mitchell Stark.
45:55 - Mitchell Stark, alright.
45:57 Mohin?
45:59 - Klasen.
46:01 - Klasen, okay.
46:03 And for you, Wasim?
46:05 - I'll go for David Warner.
46:07 - Alright, and for you, Mishra?
46:09 - Maharaj.
46:11 - Maharaj.
46:13 - For the player to watch,
46:15 Mohin, I made a house,
46:17 and it says Klasen in it.
46:19 He didn't tell me.
46:21 - I made it for him,
46:23 so he can see it.
46:25 - Show it to him.
46:27 - I made it for him.
46:29 - Don't give him a pen next time.
46:31 - Zaicha.
46:33 - And that's your player to watch out for,
46:35 brought to you by Ufone.
46:37 And that's actually a cute house that you've made.
46:39 - Yes, absolutely.
46:41 - Because, he's my player of the match,
46:43 so I think he should be like this.
46:45 - So he made a house,
46:47 and a window,
46:49 and he can see the player from the window.
46:51 - He didn't make a house.
46:53 - He made a house, so he has to go home.
46:55 - Mohin, at least take him out of the house.
46:57 - We're all set to go.
46:59 Thank you, Shoaib.
47:01 Thank you, Mohin.
47:03 It was really fun stuff today.
47:05 Thank you, Misma, and thank you, Waseem.
47:07 Truly appreciate it.
47:09 We are now going to be taking you straight to Kolkata,
47:11 where the two teams are all set to
47:13 start the semi-final number two.
47:15 Good luck to both the teams.
47:17 Good luck to South Africa and to Australia.
47:19 We'll see you at the end of the day.
