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

[Faisalabadimunda]

Now nz will change gear. Important for our bowlers not to give it away in the final 10 overs

 

[rhony]

Philips wicket probably set NZ back by 15 runs so far.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

The perfectly poised match. Get two quick wickets

 

[Major]

Get mitchell and williamson and we can chill

 

[Major]

why did they not catch taht

 

[Inswing]

Damnn that should have been taken or atleast tried.

 

[IAJ]

Oh lucky there Mitchell

 

[Major]

damn taht was a weird gap. lucky shot

 

[Adijazz1706]

NZ looking stuck but the same happened against SL where they went berserk in the last 10, Pakistan need to be careful

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Cmon guys dnt release the pressure

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not good by shadab

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor stuff this. Babar has a written code that spinners gonna bowl from 7th to 14th over.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Mitchell quickly shifting gear

Uh oh

Need pace

 

[RexRex]

I declare Shadab as Pakistan's most valuable player - can bat, bowl and field.

 

[saeedhk]

Pitch is absolute phatta!

 

[IAJ]

NZ trying to up the anty now. Good fielding.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shadab bowling long hops all of a sudden

 

[7sins]

need to break this partnership asap

 

[Slim]

Babar dont let it go this time! Keep them under the pump. Why is shaddy bowling top spinners?

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

you see nz are doing brilliantly by running 2s this is putting pressure on the fielding side in a way that boundaries just can't

brilliant batting new zealand hats off

 

[rhony]

Shadab bowling short pitched pies

 

[Inswing]

Damnn the big over for NZL has arrived. Need to get mitchell soon.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

13 runs already

 

[Major]

Shaheen is slow man, he could had caught that if he ran

 

[IAJ]

Oh no, the charge is on

 

[7sins]

this is how it works teams go bang after half innings break new few overs need couple of wickets

 

[boomboomcheema]

Such an expensive . Momentum changing over after break.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Shadab bowling long hops all of a sudden

Batters on the charge

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Alright NZ have started, best over so far and still one ball to go.

 

[IAJ]

14 of that over.

 

[mrtaim3]

What is Shaheen doing at log on?

 

[IAJ]

Naseem on

 

[boomboomcheema]

Suddenly feeling pressure again .. Rizwan, Babar should be ready to has even 160 if situation demands. Make up for failures all throughout the tournament.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

160 is on the cards, got 10 plus of first over in second half.

 

[emranabbas]

Need to bring back the phassst bowlers

 

[IAJ]

What is Shaheen doing at log on?

chatting with the fans

 

[Usman Chadda]

you see nz are doing brilliantly by running 2s this is putting pressure on the fielding side in a way that boundaries just can't

Poor captaincy by Babar. Allowed too many singles to Mitchell. Should have plugged that midwicket gap when he was new at the crease and forced him to hit over the top.

 

[Inswing]

Kash Nawaz na run out kar diya hota KW ko

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They are taking singles from the hand.

 

[saeedhk]

Need wickets!

 

[castortroy]

Not a great wicket

150 could be enough

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naseem has a very good slow bouncer.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need couple overs here with 6 or less runs.

 

[Major]

There are more Pakistani fans, than kiwis. wow never expected that in AUstralia

 

[mrtaim3]

Need wickets here. Cant let them settle down for big score.

 

[DHONI183]

ICC T20 World Cup 2022 | New Zealand v Pakistan | Semi-final 1 - SCG | 9 Nov | New Zealand Innings

Williamson's tuk tuk innings could actually hold the key here.

140-ish could be trouble.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Not a great wicket

150 could be enough

Well semis and final have additional pressure as well, so 150/160 is very competitive, even on a good pitch.

 

[Major]

daryl mitchell giving grant elliot vibe from 2009 champions trophy

 

[world cup captain]

Mitchell's wicket is very important now. He's taking the initiative to launch.

 

[shah_1]

Easy singles and doubles

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Nz back on track. Need wkts to restrict them or else it could get nasty

 

[Saj]

NZ stepping on the gas now.

Very good running between the wickets - plenty of twos.

 

[boomboomcheema]

150 looking easy from here. They are getting 8 runs off every over without any risks by just taking doubles.

 

[7sins]

nz doing great runnings 1 and 2s

 

[ex-q-zit]

They are plucking 1s and 2s at will. All pressure being released.

 

[rhony]

Risk free 8 runs just like that. They probably scored about 25 to 30 runs in that mid wicket area

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Six

 

[shah_1]

Sixxxxx

 

[Major]

If williamson was Pakistani he would had been bashed by fans and ex cricketers here

 

[90MPH]

I would say under 160 is chaseable.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Mitchell is the dangerman

 

[castortroy]

Kane Williamson, like Kholi, always kills pak

 

[Usman Chadda]

Very smart cricket team is New Zealand. They are not trying to go over the top with their aggression, as they know anything over 140 on this wicket and Pakistan will find it difficult to chase.

 

[Plumb]

very important single/doubles.. need to take wickets 130-140 will be challenging on this wicket

 

[shariqnoor]

So funny to see FTX as a sponsor. Seems like they blew all their budget on this World Cup and are penniless now.

 

[IAJ]

Wow take that! what a six

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 by Williamson

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan what r you doing

 

[Major]

not out

 

[Smbhayi]

That sound nice, 6 by Williamson..

 

[boomboomcheema]

Getting worse now. Sixer.

 

[IAJ]

Review time

 

[world cup captain]

What a sound that shot made. Smoked it!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Same thing happened in sl vs nz match. Sl got nz in trouble and Phillips took them to a top score. Pakistan need to get wkts to make sure same doesnt happen here

 

[shah_1]

That is high

 

[castortroy]

Awful review

 

[Major]

did that hit his glove?

Its too high for lbw

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

High i think

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Lol review
