Honestly factoring in dropped catches nz were the better team. Should have easily won. I mean they still can but yea.

[sweep_shot]

Aussies should win it now.

 

[emranabbas]

This is what you call cricket

Hope the cake boys are watching

 

[NeVerMind]

Neesham run out! Heart break...but last man can hit a six off the last ball

 

[shah_1]

Neesham got juicy half volleys but couldn't finish it. Great innings

 

[sweep_shot]

This loss shouldn't damage NZ much because their high NRR should remain almost intact.

 

[NeVerMind]

This is what you call cricket

Hope the cake boys are watching

Too busy probably eating cake as it is the hotel janitor's birthday

 

[Ahmed216]

Neesham got juicy half volleys but couldn't finish it. Great innings

That's why I said he's decent but not good enough

 

[nish_mate]

Whats with Hobbits and run outs at crunch times, either getting run out or running out the oppos

 

[Rajdeep]

Amazing game. I think after the Pak vs SA game yesterday, we will see a string of close matches going forward.

 

[oatmeal]

Australia should bowl underarm

 

[Sunzi]

What a game. What a cracker.

Love this NZ team.

 

[NeVerMind]

Aussies win

 

[Devadwal]

Congratulations Australia and well played NZ
Superb game .best match of the world cup 2023

 

[GLORY OF '92]

[sindhiboy]

[Sunzi]

Labuschange and Maxwell with clutch boundary riding. Kudos.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One heck of a chase.

 

[Buffet]

What a cracking game. So close..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Turning point for Pakistan

 

[kingusama92]

Back-to-back amazing games in the WC.

Proper thrillers.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies now should make it to semi.

8 points without playing BD and AFG.

 

[Mockingbird]

What a cracker of a game!

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Jimmy Neesham!

 

[Devadwal]

Choke job. Lose 3 more pls

Enjoy the world Cup . Pakistan is not going to reach in semifinal . I'm 100% sure
Semifinals match are confirmed by today

[7sins]

Choke job. Lose 3 more pls

Even with that they are losing close matches there nrr won't be affected

 

[mominsaigol]

This is why I love being an Australian citizen and love my neighbours.

Word class game of cricket. Good job to both teams.

 

[Ab Fan]

Back-to-back amazing games in the WC.

Proper thrillers.

Business end has arrived now. Nobody is giving up now.

 

[Thephenom]

You need a lot of of luck and Australia have had it after there first 2 games where ours has deserted us

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some teams are just too good in this competition. Resurgent Australia, NZ, SA.

 

[mominsaigol]

Choke job. Lose 3 more pls

Yes yes, Pakistan will clearly walk over New Zealand

 

[7sins]

Australia now won 4 games in a row after losing first 2 matches champions stuff

 

[Devadwal]

Strac 9 over 89 runs

 

[globetrotter]

Mother of all matches… NZ jst unlucky

 

[mominsaigol]

You need a lot of of luck and Australia have had it after there first 2 games where ours has deserted us

How is it luck? Did you see their champions fielding? They literally saved 4 runs and won the game?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Business end has arrived now. Nobody is giving up now.

yup. Tight games can be achieved through brilliance or mediocrity. Brilliance example of today. Mediocrity yesterday's game.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes yes, Pakistan will clearly walk over New Zealand

Let's see.

NZ are not winning a knockout game.

 

[7sins]

Some teams are just too good in this competition. Resurgent Australia, NZ, SA.

With Travis head back there batting goes next level and I'm sure he can bowl some overs too. Smith needs to be dropped somehow

 

[mominsaigol]

Strac 9 over 89 runs

Brother either me or my neighbour will crush you in the semis.

Aus and NZ are a champions team and my main has won 5x, compared your meager 2x Cup victory. you're in it for a very long haul

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a clear gulf between them and other sides. England is not even remotely close to these sides.

Aus maybe. Nz is a nobody. They will lose. Aus are champions calibre I agree but today they were poor. Have zero faith in their bowling to win KO tbh.

Bring it on .we are ready for challenge.
