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

[IAJ]

NZ are masters of this. They judge a pitch quick and play accordingly

Ingen tvil om det kompis. De er veldig smarte.

 

[wrongun]

pitch not pacy

Dying a bit in some spots isn't it.

Was lively after some rainy games but overall, this wet summer has not allowed it to bake hard.

 

[Inswing]

Maaan need wicket on regular intervals.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Somewhat better, keep it little bit short, still need wickets, RizBaber used to take so many singles, they have just gone to do tuk tuk.

 

[Major]

good yorker, great over

 

[Slim]

So much Tuk Tuk

Love to see it

 

[IAJ]

Good last ball by Haris

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan will need to keep in mind overate as well.

4 overs in 25 mins

 

[Saj]

Very tidy 1st over by Haris.

Williamson agitated by movement behind the bowler.

 

[Major]

we gonna see naseem now

 

[Inswing]

Kane looks set here.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

NZ plan jn the back of their minds will be not to loose to many wkts upfront. Pakistan would need to break this partnership quickly. As we know after powerplay and 10 overs they can catch up.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Keep them to 140

150 + we are under pressure

Kiwis will aim for 170+

 

[Rana]

NZ going nowhere so far

 

[emranabbas]

Boys playing well

 

[Gullycricket]

This score is right up the alley of Rizbar

 

[Suleiman]

Crucial over this. Wasim has the tendency to stray, hope he holds his nerve

 

[IAJ]

we gonna see naseem now

Nope, Wasim on

 

[Inswing]

Already 4th bowler?

 

[Major]

waseem bowling, why not naseem?

 

[IAJ]

Lucky there Wasim

 

[Rana]

Against Pakistan, once you lose the momentum…it’s very hard to get it back

 

[Inswing]

Well field by rauf.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Hope waseem doesnt release the pressure created. Cant afford anyone to bottle it against this nz side

 

[Major]

waseem saved by rauf

 

[imshally81]

Great fielding again

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Bad ball, got lucky just a single.

 

[Rana]

Shampoo struggling with his line

 

[IAJ]

Two poor balls, but straight to bowlers

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lucky twice waseem

 

[Suleiman]

Fielding and bowling cooperating Ma Sha Allah

 

[Slim]

Boys looking sharp, Alhamdulillah!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

waseem bowling, why not naseem?

He will probably bowl sixth one.

 

[IAJ]

Better line

 

[rhony]

Great fielding by Pak. Wasim wants to be the target

 

[Saj]

Good ground fielding
Throws hitting stumps

Pakistan fielding really well so far.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Waseem bowling of already. Pls do not bottle it and keep the pressure on. Cud easily let nz of the hook here by bowling a rubbish over

 

[Suleiman]

Wish Babar wasn’t so reactive and bowled Naseem again

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Waseem lucky twice and then unlucky once.

 

[emranabbas]

Good throw

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He's just incompetent.

That first decision of Allen was a shocker.

And it's OK to call him incompetent for wrong decisions. Posters were going as far as to make conspiracy theories about BCCI and IPL

 

[7sins]

pitch have nothing for the fast bowler lets see how spin will work today

 

[imshally81]

7 runs in Waseem over

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Boys need to mix it up with the slower ones and cutters

 

[IAJ]

Good pace 146 kph

 

[Mamoon]

The most boring match of the tournament so far. Let’s see how the remaining 35 overs pan out.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Waseem seems to be off color, hope he doesn't become a sprayer.

 

[Rana]

This kind of batting is acceptable if you lose an early wicket but not when you haven’t lost anyone

 

[RexRex]

This pitch is already scandalous. Seriously where is the bounce ?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Wasim pace is increasing

 

[Major]

The most boring match of the tournament so far. Let’s see how the remaining 35 overs pan out.

PP khatam nahi hua and u are already hating Pakistan cricket

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Not a single dot ball or any ball beaten, Waseem seems off color for sure

 

[IAJ]

Good to listen to Ian Bishop after a very long time

 

[rhony]

Tough to hit back of the length balls.

 

[IAJ]

Hmm pace and smacked for four

 

[boomboomcheema]

Need a wicket.

 

[Inswing]

Now getting nervous, need wickets asap.

 

[rhony]

Pace is easy to hit on this pitch.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Gloves are coming off for NZ, nicely played

 

[IAJ]

good running

 

[Mamoon]

This pitch is already scandalous. Seriously where is the bounce ?

ICC doing everything in its power to have a Pakistan-India final.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need the waseem with them searing yorkers. Cmon let's break this partnership

 

[emranabbas]

Last over of pace shadab in next

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rauf should come from around the wicket against conway

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistani fielders have an unhealthy obsession with throwing the ball unnecessarily, even when there is zero chance of a runout. Led by Rizwan.

 

[Inswing]

Absolutely no bounce in the pitch.

 

[Suleiman]

Rauf still got a lot to learn. Needs to know how to bowl in the right areas with pace. Too dependent on slower ball

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I think pace of is the way to go on this wkt.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

So few dot balls, RizBaber were so good at this last WC, and this WC can't do anything.

 

[IAJ]

Strong arm, Haris

 

[Suleiman]

This low bounce will help our batters

 

[imshally81]

Absolutely no bounce in the pitch.

Good for our batsman...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If we cant get wkts . Need to keep rr in check. Nz trickling along. Last thing we need is nz racing away

 

[7sins]

decent powerplay by nz only lost one wicket nawaz shadab ifti overs will be the key

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Absolutely no bounce in the pitch.

Wonder if this will bring Baber back to form.

 

[Major]

that should be out

 

[Inswing]

Shadab you the man, probably run out.

 

[imshally81]

Runout chance?

 

[IAJ]

Gone

 

[Rana]

That’s out
