00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to Surf Excel Presents ICC T20 World Cup special transmission powered by LiveBoy Shampoo and supported by Phoenix Battery.
00:09I am your host, Najeeb Al Asnain.
00:117 semifinals and 32 years of waiting.
00:15Yes, South Africa has finally won the semifinals.
00:18And Afghanistan's dream run has come to an end.
00:22Talking about the semifinals, one down, one more to go.
00:26And today's competition is between India and England.
00:30In Guyana, which will start at 7.30 PM Pakistan time.
00:34We will talk about this as well.
00:36But mainly, let's start.
00:38They have qualified for the South Africa final.
00:43My panel is present with me.
00:45Kamran Akmal, Basit Ali and Shahid Ashmi.
00:47Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:49Walaikum Assalam.
00:50Basit Bhai, let's start with you.
00:52For Afghanistan, it was like a fairytale.
00:57A team whose cricket setup is not like that.
01:01They stay away from their country.
01:03They worked very hard to reach here.
01:06It would have been good, and it feels good.
01:08Because it is an underdog story, if they had won the final.
01:11But reaching to the semifinal is a great achievement.
01:14But today's game was one-sided.
01:17You are absolutely right.
01:19You said that it is a great achievement.
01:22To reach to the semifinal of Afghanistan.
01:24Especially, the way of playing.
01:27Their world cup, from 50 overs till now.
01:30They are performing very well.
01:32But today, you said that it was a one-sided match.
01:35I think, I will blame the ICC curator.
01:41He didn't make an up-to-mark pitch.
01:44It was like a test match in Perth.
01:48We have seen such uneven pitches in Joburg.
01:52This was not a T20 pitch.
01:54It goes with cricket.
01:56If Africa had lost, my wording would have been
01:59that the pitch was not up-to-mark.
02:01It goes with cricket.
02:02Especially, it goes with those who sit in the stadium
02:05to watch the sixes and fours.
02:07Bad for T20 cricket, bad for world cup.
02:10Such pitches.
02:11Let's talk about America.
02:13We had accepted that it is the first time
02:15that cricket is being played here.
02:17Maybe, the conditions are not that good.
02:19But, how did you make a mistake
02:21in choosing the right venues?
02:24Like you said, the story of Afghanistan.
02:27When they reached the semifinal,
02:29I told them that they have to achieve this goal.
02:33I think, it is no less than a trophy.
02:35It is no less than winning.
02:37South Africa was a big team.
02:39I didn't understand.
02:41Like you said, in America,
02:43there is not much international cricket.
02:46They are making progress day by day.
02:48In a country like West Indies,
02:50such pitches will be made.
02:52You know that there is CPL.
02:54You are working on it.
02:56In CPL, matches are scored high or low.
02:59In this venue, CPL's pitches are not scored high.
03:02There is one or two matches.
03:0490% of the world's world cup
03:06was spoiled because of the pitches.
03:08Is the ICC blindfolded?
03:10They are not doing anything.
03:12They are not telling us.
03:14We don't want these pitches.
03:16Our world cup is getting spoiled.
03:18The world is upset.
03:20The world cup we have seen in the past 8 years,
03:23is not like the T20 world cup.
03:25You have a semifinal venue in St. Lucia,
03:28Barbados, St. Kitts, Jamaica.
03:32Why weren't these venues selected?
03:35Why weren't these venues selected?
03:37There are only 4-5 matches here.
03:4090 runs in the first batting.
03:43The losing team.
03:45Who is responsible?
03:47Afghanistan?
03:49Are you saying that Afghanistan played badly
03:51because of the pitches?
03:53Even South Africa would have been out.
03:56This is not a good message.
03:59This is not good cricket.
04:02I think the ICC should be blamed more than the teams.
04:06The blame goes to the ICC because of the pitches.
04:09The venue choice is also known.
04:13In Trinidad, the main ground,
04:16Kunzpar Kowal, where Basit Bhai played,
04:18where I made my debut.
04:20Runs are made there.
04:222 years ago, when they asked
04:24to upgrade the T20 world cup,
04:26the club house refused.
04:29They made Bryan Lara Cricket Stadium.
04:32If that pitch had been used,
04:35it would have been better.
04:37It was a fresh pitch.
04:39I don't think both the teams read it well.
04:41At the toss,
04:43we also bat first.
04:46If South Africa had batted first,
04:47they would have been out in 70-80 runs.
04:49When they came to chase,
04:51the first ball went straight.
04:53The second ball went from above.
04:56It was such an uneven bounce.
04:58All the coaches,
05:00including Jonathan Trott,
05:02the South African coach,
05:04the South African captain,
05:06Tom Moody said in a podcast
05:08that this pitch is not deserved for the semifinals.
05:11We will show you the criticism on the pitch.
05:14What do you have to say about this pitch?
05:28You shouldn't have bats worrying about going forward
05:31and the ball flying over their head.
05:33If we had bowled as straight as South Africa,
05:35you would have seen a very interesting second half.
05:38T20 cricket as a whole, you want entertainment.
05:41The wickets we've had throughout the competition
05:43have been pretty challenging.
05:44Tonight's wicket was pretty challenging.
05:46If we reflect back on this wicket,
05:48we'll probably be pretty happy
05:50that we're not playing here again.
05:51I don't think you'd want to see it in any game.
05:54You want a fair contest between bat and ball.
05:56I'm not advocating that we need to have surfaces
05:59that you need 200 plus,
06:01but if you've got one ball that's hitting the toe of your bat
06:03or one that you feel like you're going to punch
06:05with your gloves,
06:07that is a very difficult challenge to combat.
06:10I actually covered two games in Trinidad
06:13at the Brian Lurra Cricket Academy
06:15and the surface was pretty similar.
06:18Tom Moody said a very good thing.
06:20He said, I'm not saying it should be 200 plus,
06:22but it shouldn't be like...
06:24The batsmen were afraid of going on the front foot.
06:27And then Makram said in the post-match
06:30that it's a good thing we didn't bat first.
06:32And the good thing is that even after Makram won,
06:34he said it was very challenging.
06:36You don't feel it when you win.
06:38The warm-up matches,
06:40like you said, we're playing in that stadium.
06:43There are matches at CPL.
06:45What did they have to upgrade there?
06:47I didn't understand that.
06:49It's a proper stadium.
06:51The crowd sits properly there.
06:53The dressing room is great.
06:55You have to get quality cricket done.
06:58That stadium is not ready yet.
07:00The pitches are not the same.
07:02To show the world a new stadium,
07:05you've ruined your cricket.
07:07You've ruined the world cup.
07:09I don't think these things are right.
07:11And secondly, everyone said...
07:13Tom Moody, Adam Makram, the coach,
07:17they said, okay, you make good wickets,
07:20but not 200.
07:22You can make a sporting pitch.
07:24At least give the bowler and batter a chance.
07:27I was afraid they'd bowl,
07:30like the South African bowling line-up.
07:33Like Rashid was out,
07:35Rahmatullah Gurbaz slipped at the bottom.
07:38Where did the ball go?
07:40It should have gone one bounce.
07:42You can see how bad the pitch was.
07:44Throughout this tournament,
07:46you took out St. Lucia and Antigua.
07:48The rest of the pitches were not fair.
07:51Neither for the bowlers nor the batter.
07:53People ask for coaches and captains.
07:56I think the ICC chief curator, Andy Atkinson,
07:59should resign.
08:00It's very important.
08:02The West Indies Cricket Board
08:04should be more responsible.
08:07They haven't improved their venues.
08:09This problem has been going on for a long time.
08:12In your domestic and league cricket.
08:14The ICC has to force them
08:16to change their venues.
08:18What's your take on this?
08:20In the 71st ball, one team is out.
08:23In the 24th ball,
08:25another team is out.
08:28This is the biggest question mark.
08:30Secondly,
08:32the ball was going up and down.
08:36South Africa has an advantage
08:39because their bowlers are tall.
08:41Be it Northy or Abada.
08:45Marko Janssen is very tall.
08:47He's the tallest.
08:49But the bowlers in Afghanistan
08:51are of normal height.
08:53Their ball went up and down.
08:55Not as much as the South African bowlers.
08:58I saw the batsmen getting out.
09:00They weren't coming forward.
09:01The ball that went from the top.
09:03Nabi, Rashid,
09:04you can see their feet didn't come forward.
09:06Let's focus on the fall of wickets in Afghanistan.
09:10Then we'll talk about that.
09:11Yes, we saw the fall of wickets.
09:13The two batsmen who are out on Shamsi's ball
09:16are out on the umpire's call.
09:18If the umpire would have given a nut out,
09:19they would have been a nut out.
09:20We won't go into that.
09:21But what we were talking about,
09:23their feet didn't come forward.
09:25Because the ball becomes uneven.
09:28It becomes a batsman's psyche.
09:30He plays with his small feet.
09:31This is technically and tactically told.
09:34Where it's up and down.
09:36But if you miss the next ball,
09:38you'll be in the LBW or the bowl.
09:40I think this is Afghanistan's weak link.
09:43They're stuck on the back ball.
09:46Any batsman knows that
09:48the bowler is fast and tall.
09:51If the ball hits the hand,
09:53the finger will be fractured.
09:54The team will be out for six months.
09:56They'll be out of cricket.
09:57If it hits the back of the hand,
09:58the head,
09:59all the confidence is gone.
10:00The players look after their safety.
10:03I think on today's pitch,
10:05the New York pitch was like this.
10:07I think they're lucky
10:09that only one player has been unfit.
10:11Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
10:14They've been called out in New York.
10:16I don't think these pitches should've been made.
10:18They should've been true.
10:19It would've been sporting.
10:21Like Basit said,
10:22it looks like a Perth match.
10:24It's not like that in Perth.
10:25It's an even bounce.
10:26It's a bounce.
10:27It'll bounce.
10:28It won't stay down.
10:30Trot also said something.
10:32We were relying a lot on
10:34Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran.
10:36The way Gurbaz started,
10:38he was charging the bowler from the first ball.
10:40The fast bowler didn't need to charge the wicket.
10:43The pitch was tough.
10:44If there were 2-3 partnerships,
10:46they could've taken it to 100-110.
10:48There were a lot of runs.
10:49There was one partnership
10:51between Rashid and Karim Jannat
10:53and took it to 28-50.
10:54There was no other partnership.
10:56Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz,
10:58I'd say,
10:59they were informed.
11:00They made runs.
11:01They were in momentum.
11:03They took a lot of responsibility.
11:05Secondly,
11:06you were saying from the start
11:08that without their runs,
11:09it's difficult for Afghanistan to win
11:11because their middle order isn't doing anything.
11:13We talked about it yesterday.
11:14Their weak link,
11:15their middle order wasn't exposed yet.
11:17Now it's exposed
11:18because the top order is out.
11:20The second ball,
11:21Najeeb took a left slip
11:25and it was a four.
11:27From there,
11:28Gurbaz stopped bouncing.
11:29Because he bounces well.
11:31But the high ball
11:33was too high.
11:35Very unfair.
11:36The ball that was out
11:38was sitting down.
11:39He carried it.
11:40What Shahid said,
11:42an experienced team can survive
11:44such pitches.
11:45They can do it.
11:46They can do it.
11:47They can do 100-120 in total.
11:50It was a big achievement for them.
11:52From where they came,
11:53to play in the semi-finals,
11:55it was a tough condition for them.
11:57If it was Bangladesh
11:58or Sri Lanka,
12:00they could have done 110-120.
12:02But against this bowling,
12:04it was difficult.
12:05But I say,
12:06the Afghans have played
12:07very good cricket
12:08in this World Cup.
12:10That's true.
12:11And the shortest all-out innings
12:14by balls,
12:15which Basit was talking about,
12:18let's show that
12:20against Netherlands and Sri Lanka,
12:22there were 60 all-outs in 2021.
12:26Against Scotland and Afghanistan,
12:2862.
12:29In 2021,
12:30against Netherlands and Sri Lanka,
12:3263.
12:33And today, 71.
12:34So, according to balls,
12:36this is the shortest all-out
12:37innings by balls.
12:38It started,
12:39and we woke up at 5 am.
12:41We thought
12:42this match will go
12:43at least till 9 or 9.30 am.
12:45But it was 8.15 or 8.30 am
12:47when the match finished
12:48and the post-match ceremony
12:49was going on.
12:50So, we are disappointed.
12:51And the World Cup semi-final,
12:52a good team,
12:53two good teams,
12:54an unbeaten team,
12:55and a team
12:56with a fairytale story.
12:57Their semi-final
12:58being like this,
13:00was a big problem for the spectators.
13:01It wasn't fun.
13:02And because of the logistics,
13:03the crowd wasn't coming.
13:05Yesterday,
13:06there was a press conference
13:07in South Africa
13:08and there was only one journalist.
13:09Because,
13:10Island to Island,
13:11they booked a ticket
13:12for $1300.
13:13And because of that,
13:14and because of the crowd,
13:15the crowd wasn't coming.
13:17And with such pitches,
13:18the interest will be lost.
13:19Absolutely.
13:20Basit bhai,
13:21do you have anything to say?
13:24We used to have breakfast
13:25at 10 am.
13:26Yes.
13:27In the morning.
13:28Today, we reached
13:29at 8 am.
13:30The match was over.
13:33No,
13:34we hadn't had lunch yet.
13:35The boy came to take the order.
13:37He said,
13:38I woke up at 5 am.
13:39He must have slept by 5.30 am.
13:40He called 2-3 times,
13:41asking if it had rained.
13:42Why isn't the match happening?
13:43He said,
13:44the match is over.
13:45You tell me,
13:46if half the team
13:47is out of powerplay,
13:48what kind of a match is this?
13:49Anyways,
13:50lowest totals
13:51in T20 World Cup
13:52knockouts.
13:53You can see this too.
13:54Today's game
13:55is on top.
13:57Afghanistan vs South Africa,
13:5856 knockouts.
14:00This is the lowest total.
14:02It's a semi-final.
14:03West Indies vs Sri Lanka,
14:05in 2009.
14:06This was also a semi-final.
14:07101 runs.
14:08Sri Lanka vs West Indies,
14:10101 in 2012.
14:13And,
14:14this is the last game.
14:16Pakistan vs Sri Lanka,
14:18123.
14:20This is also a semi-final
14:22in 2012.
14:23So,
14:24small scores
14:25are going to be made
14:26in the knockouts.
14:27You can't match
14:28the other semi-finals
14:29with this pitch.
14:31I think this was
14:32the worst rain pitch
14:33you have ever shown
14:34in a semi-final.
14:35Anyways,
14:36I think this is
14:37a World Cup.
14:38It's not wrong to say
14:39that this was the
14:40worst World Cup
14:41in T20.
14:42We are waiting
14:43for another show.
14:44Another show?
14:45Another show?
14:46It's raining there.
14:47One thing
14:48is a little less.
14:49Tell me,
14:50it's raining
14:51at this time.
14:52There is no
14:53Australian statement yet.
14:54We are not asking
14:55about Karachi,
14:56we are asking about Guyana.
14:57No, no,
14:58I am talking about Guyana.
15:00There is no Australian
15:01statement yet
15:02about the pitch.
15:03Hmm.
15:04I think
15:05they will
15:06finish their
15:07sad days.
15:08No,
15:09South Africa
15:10is 3 hours
15:11behind.
15:12When people
15:13woke up there,
15:14they knew
15:15the match
15:16was over.
15:17It's true.
15:18It's someone's
15:19misery.
15:20So,
15:21good luck
15:22to someone.
15:23South Africa
15:24never won
15:25a semi-final.
15:26They won
15:27and reached
15:28the finals.
15:29When Makram
15:30was the captain
15:31of U19,
15:32his team won
15:33the U19
15:34World Cup
15:35in 2014.
15:366 wins
15:37in 6 games
15:38and they won
15:39the title.
15:40After that,
15:41Makram
15:42became the
15:43captain
15:44in 2 games
15:45instead of
15:46Babu Ma.
15:47In 2023,
15:48they also
15:49won the
15:50ODI
15:51World Cup.
15:52Then,
15:53SA20,
15:54which is
15:55their event,
15:56they won
15:57and qualified
15:58for the
15:59World Cup
16:00final.
16:01So,
16:02Basit,
16:03is that
16:04going to happen
16:05like Makram
16:06has done
16:07in his
16:08captaincy?
16:09I will
16:10pass
16:11Kami.
16:12First,
16:13Kami.

20:18The venue where the semi-final is taking place is suiting the Indian team.
20:21They have spinners, breaks, it's not that easy to play there as a batsman.
20:27They have quality spinners, match winners.
20:29With Kuldeep coming, their spin area has become even stronger.
20:33They have the momentum and are hand-beaten.
20:35But you know how dangerous a team like England is.
20:39How they have reached.
20:41First you saw them in the Super 8.
20:42After that, how they have reached in the semi-final.
20:45I think they are a very dangerous team.
20:47They are a complete team.
20:49Look at their bowling, batting and fielding.
20:52There is no box that is weak.
20:55So I think they will have to work hard to win both the teams.
20:59But the final will be one-beaten.
21:02If both of them play, this tradition will be over.
21:05Absolutely right.
21:06Basit bhai, are you making any points or notes for today's match?
21:10No, no.
21:11Or are you praying for the rain?
21:12No, no.
21:13I am just saying what you said.
21:17That there is no such team that is unbeaten.
21:20Now forget about it.
21:22At one time, the fastest century was made by Azhar bhai.
21:27Azharuddin, 62 balls.
21:28After that, how did it change?
21:3035 balls, 36 balls, 39 balls.
21:34Such centuries started to be made.
21:37So records are made to be broken.
21:38Yes, so we are breaking.
21:39And now I was thinking about the World Cup.
21:42In this World Cup, I liked only one thing.
21:44The song?
21:45The song.
21:46I haven't heard a better song than this.
21:49Because I like reggae.
21:51Reggae music is known all over the world.
21:53The rest, the pitches…
21:55The quality of cricket…
21:57The quality of cricket…
21:58That is very…
21:59We will understand.
22:00Even after that, the audience is so happy.
22:02Especially Shahid bhai's fan following there.
22:04That is very…
22:05Shahid bhai, when the camera goes in the crowd,
22:08Shahid bhai also responds in the same way.
22:10No, no.
22:11Two days ago, Shahid bhai said,
22:13I know him.
22:14The crowd of West Indies is very good.
22:17The press conference that Matthew Mott did,
22:20he said that the pitch of Guyana
22:22is very spin dominated.
22:24That is because it has a low bounce.
22:26Because of the low bounce,
22:28otherwise 76 wickets have been played here.
22:30Out of the five matches,
22:3127 wickets have been taken from the spinners,
22:33which is not a huge number.
22:34And India will have one,
22:36which will be from the last semi-final,
22:38that will be of Bumrah.
22:39If Bumrah's gain is high or low,
22:41and the way he is bowling,
22:43he has only taken 11 wickets out of 4.
22:46And he has an economy of 8.5.
22:48Which means that he is bowling wonderfully.
22:51He has an average of 8.5 and an economy of 4.
22:54So the way he is bowling,
22:55he is bowling in a different style.
22:58And that will be a factor
22:59that if England plays Bumrah well,
23:01if they chase,
23:02then Bumrah usually does the 19th and 17th over.
23:06That is one thing.
23:07And if there is a short end match due to rain,
23:09then that will be an advantage for England.
23:10Okay, tell me one thing.
23:11Do you think India has been favoured in this World Cup?
23:14A lot of things are favoured.
23:16Obviously, the main thing is that in West Indies,
23:18most of India's matches are played in the morning,
23:22so that India gets a prime time.
23:23They have a broadcaster,
23:24they have money,
23:25that's why all those things are happening.
23:27But to do this,
23:28that they have already allocated a semi-final in Guyana,
23:32that with other teams,
23:33England and Australia will have to wait.
23:36England, Australia and South Africa will have to wait
23:39as to where they have to go for the semi-final.
23:41Okay, we are not the only ones saying this.
23:42The Telegraph newspaper was shocked
23:44and said that they have made a spectacle
23:46to favour India.
23:48But after all, the British media is also...
23:50Yes, the British media is not quiet.
23:52They have proven from the schedule
23:53that India is being favoured.
23:55To get a prime time in India,
23:56matches were played in the morning.
23:58India already knew
24:00that they have to have a semi-final in Guyana.
24:02They are preparing a stage
24:03that in case if they are coming,
24:04or if there is no result because of the rain,
24:06then we can prepare the stage in advance.
24:08Okay.
24:11Yes, so once again we welcome you
24:13to the special transmission.
24:14And we were talking about favouring India.
24:17So, Basit Bhai, you wanted to add something.
24:19I don't know who is sitting in the Telegraph.
24:23I don't know anything about it.
24:25The match in the morning in India,
24:27in the West Indies,
24:28is not that easy.
24:30The fools who are writing,
24:32the match in the morning is very dangerous.
24:34There can be a lot of toss factor in it.
24:37No, but they are saying that
24:38because of the viewership,
24:39the match was played in the morning.
24:40And how can a team know in advance
24:42that it is in Guyana?
24:43They are not talking about the playing condition.
24:46No, you said that
24:47all their matches were played in the morning.
24:49Not all in the morning,
24:50the semi-final was played in the morning.
24:52All their matches were played in the morning.
24:53Viewership.
24:54All the matches were played in the morning
24:55and the viewership was given at night.
24:56So, this is not a favourable thing for Pakistan or India.
24:59And they already know about the semi-final,
25:01the rest of the teams don't know.
25:02So, this is there.
25:03Okay, it's about the rain.
25:05If India's points were less
25:07and England's were more
25:08and it would have rained,
25:09would they have said this?
25:11That they will automatically reach?
25:12India has earned one thing.
25:14They knew that they would earn more points.
25:16India has earned one thing
25:17that they have topped the Super 8 in their group.
25:20If they wouldn't have been at the top,
25:22if England would have been at the top,
25:24then they would have gone to the final.
25:25In the form of no result,
25:26England would have gone to the final.
25:27This is not a question from India.
25:29No, but my point is that
25:31for the rest of the teams,
25:32the situation is the same.
25:33They play mind games.
25:34It's their habit,
25:35both for Australia and England.
25:36Before the match,
25:37they say such things
25:38that are considered mind games.
25:39I don't understand
25:40the headline you just gave
25:41about the incorporated media.
25:43Why didn't you say this
25:44when the schedule was being made?
25:45What did he say?
25:46The boards should have said this.
25:48It was going on even then.
25:50Why didn't you make so much noise then?
25:52Why didn't you say so much?
25:54Why didn't you discuss it with our media?
25:57England and Australia
25:58are such strong boards
25:59that if they had a problem
26:00with the schedule,
26:01then you should have said it earlier.
26:02You should have objected to it earlier.
26:04Give 80% of the revenue to ICC.
26:07You can do whatever you want.
26:08If it's a game of money,
26:09then give them the World Cup.
26:10It's a game of money,
26:11what else is there in T20?
26:12Then give them the World Cup.
26:13It's a game of money.
26:15It is not about money.
26:17If you have invented it,
26:18then why are you being made to do it?
26:20This is like,
26:21if the bat is mine,
26:22then I will bat first.
26:25I am asking you a question.
26:28You said they give revenue.
26:30Tell me,
26:31does someone else play cricket
26:32instead of them on the ground?
26:34What do you think about ground cricket?
26:36They are playing ground cricket very well.
26:38When it comes to cricket,
26:40this is not an excuse
26:42that they bring more revenue,
26:44then everyone should do what they want.
26:46No, it's not what they want.
26:48It's not that they are setting up
26:49an umpire on their own will.
26:50It's not that they are setting up
26:51a venue on their own will.
26:54Listen to me,
26:55if their batsmen are bold,
26:57then they won't be bold.
26:58They won't bow down.
26:59It's not like that.
27:00Let's take a break and talk more.
27:05Don't go anywhere.
27:06We'll be right back.
27:08We don't have much time,
27:09so let's get to the predictions.
27:11Kamran,
27:12your final prediction
27:14for this semi-final.
27:15One minute.
27:16You tell me first.
27:17Should I tell you first?
27:18You copy us.
27:19I don't copy,
27:20I tell you what I want.
27:22Aghwanistan was my wish,
27:23now my wish is England.
27:27What can we say about your wish?
27:29You tell us yours.
27:30The venue I'm looking at,
27:31the momentum of the team I'm looking at,
27:33India.
27:34India, definitely.
27:35How do you know?
27:36I just guessed.
27:37India.
27:38India?
27:39Rain.
27:40The best guess.
27:41Rain means India?
27:42Rain means India.
27:44Shahid bhai,
27:45you've been saying rain
27:46since the last 4-5 matches.
27:48I've had all the matches.
27:50Shahid bhai,
27:51rain is the best.
27:52Like the West Indies say,
27:53weather doesn't matter,
27:54men don't matter,
27:55and the tree doesn't bear fruit.
27:57Okay,
27:58one last question from the three of you.
28:00If the match is short because of the rain,
28:03who do you think will benefit?
28:05Second prediction.
28:06England.
28:07England?
28:09I'll go with India.
28:10Even in a small match,
28:11even if it's shorter,
28:12even if it's 5 overs,
28:13whatever it is,
28:14it goes to India.
28:16Confidence and edge.
28:18Okay.
28:19Like you said earlier,
28:20the Indian cricketers,
28:21they've played 3-3 matches
28:22at a venue in South Africa.
28:24They've treated all the teams equally.
28:27Okay.
28:28That's all for our transmission.
28:30I'll take your leave now.
28:31Take care.
28:32Allah Hafiz.
