ICC T20 World Cup 2022 | Semi-final 1 - SCG | New Zealand post a competitive score (152/4)

[Sherazkhalid]

Man another 2, don't know if this is brilliant running or bad field placement by us?

 

[Suleiman]

Pretty good bowling performance despite Shadab having an off day today.

 

[daytrader]

Excellent over by Naseem

 

[alone1213]

Another fast Yorker by naseem.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Well it isn't 180 and out of sight. Don't shame yourselves now, chicken!!!

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan will take it, In sha Allah!

 

[7sins]

great over by naseem decent total by nz but pitch have nothing in it

 

[Rana]

Gonna miss Asif Ali here

 

[salman24]

Great last over MA

 

[Ashmal]

Lovely finish by Naseem

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tremendous over.

If we don't choke this is not a hard chase.

 

[Suleiman]

Man another 2, don't know if this is brilliant running or bad field placement by us?

Massive ground. It’s been good running. We’ve been the best in the field we’ve ever been for the whole tournament in this game.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pakistan will take it, In sha Allah!

انشاءاللہ

 

[shamaan]

Below Par Score

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Pretty good bowling performance despite Shadab having an off day today.

Imagine he went for 10 less...ooph

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is a 50-50 game with Pakistan chasing, any other team probably would have given them 60-40, but with Pakistan chasing it is a 50-50 may even be 45-55.

 

[Suleiman]

Tremendous over.

If we don't choke this is not a hard chase.

I agree. Shan, Babar and Rizwan can do well here due to low bounce and can play their natural game of 1s and 2s and even 3s

 

[90MPH]

This is a chaseable score.

But NZ in it as well, depends how well their slower bowlers perform.

 

[MenInG]

 

[shamaan]

Thus pitch should suit Pakistan slow and low

 

[topspin]

Pakistan have bowled and fielded very well. 153 is chaseable.

Up to Babar and Rizwan to bat for the team. No Misbah tuk tuk please.

 

[rhony]

Think NZ got the par score. 93 runs in the last 10 overs. Pak will fancy their chances. PP overs are the key. Older ball is tough to hit

 

[world cup captain]

Bowlers have done their job yet again. On to the batter to see us through.

 

[90MPH]

Gonna miss Asif Ali here

80 metre boundaries, probably not.

 

[Hextro]

Gonna miss Asif Ali here

If Asif was playing Nawaz would've had to bowl his full quota, adding atleast 10 more runs to the target.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nope.

People supporting their own agendas and bias rather than the team...think it's a Pakistani disease...

 

[shamaan]

60-40 Pakistan

 

[niazi]

Kiwis commentators and other such as Bishop are praising POAksitani bowlers but some so-called 'experts' are trying to bring down our bowlers. IF Pakistan had gotten this total with 4 down then we would've gone mad at them!
PAk are still favorites by a small margin. Overall I am satisfied with our bowling/fielding but it is up to batting!

 

[adzzy786]

This is a chaseable score.

But NZ in it as well, depends how well their slower bowlers perform.

Depends how we bat

 

[shamaan]

Pakistan fielding was exceptional

 

[Nikhil_cric]

10 more runs and this would have been a competitive chase. Pakisyan should start slight favourites now.

 

[NeVerMind]

Gonna miss Asif Ali here

Didn't hit a single 6 in the tri series against the Kiwis but somehow he would have fired here on a slow pitch with longer boundaries

 

[niazi]

Further to my above post if Pakistan is to lose this then it has to be a failure of ourt batting!
Bowling has been good(not too great though) and fielding has been great!

 

[PakPremi]

There is no doubt it had been a brilliant performance by Pakistan bowling and good one fielding.

 

[Mainul]

Let's hope for the best. Though it will be very tough for Pakistan, but they can if all the batters come into the party.

 

[NeVerMind]

Kiwis commentators and other such as Bishop are praising POAksitani bowlers but some so-called 'experts' are trying to bring down our bowlers. IF Pakistan had gotten this total with 4 down then we would've gone mad at them!

Apparently people who have never played at the highest level know more than the people who have!

 

[adzzy786]

10 more runs and this would have been a competitive chase. Pakisyan should start slight favourites now.

You never know, they’ll either chase it down calmly or make a mess of it. Don’t forget Zimbabwae and let’s be honest if it wasn’t for Harris would have been close for Bangladesh

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Seamers did their job against an exemplary batting side. Phillips, Conway, Allen all gone early. They'd have got 180+ if allowed to play

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Gonna miss Asif Ali here

yeah his captaincy would have been invaluable here

 

[Mean&Green]

Ordinary, harmless stuff by Naseem as usual. He has been average 90% of the time in his career. What is the hype for?

High class bowling most economical bowler youre just jealous shordies love and him he’s an amazing bowler too

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This. Is. Pakistan.
They don't follow logic

 

[NeVerMind]

He's th Mike Brearly of the modern age....the non-playong kutpaan!

 

[rhony]

Kane's wicket was brilliant timing. Neesham struggled big time. Atleast 10 to 15 runs were saved
