ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (388) win a high-scoring encounter against New Zealand (383/9) by 5 runs

Imposing score but the innings serves to highlight that the openers are the real danger men.
 
Australia is bowled out for 388 runs. Very good comeback from Kiwi bowlers because at 1 stage, the score was predicted to be more than 450.
 
If Australia wins today will it be the last hope demolished for Pakistan?
 
Pakistan can go to hell. I want to see NZ attempt a proper chase.
 
Aus ba

Sl also good record vs nz
Pak too
Sa might lose to kiwi but this SA side looks dangerous.

Very good chance they can lose all 3.
Yes but I don't think Pakistan or England, Sri Lanka can win all the remaining game
 
NZ most likely to finish at 4 postion . india - NZ semifinals at Mumbai :genius
Nooo. Pak will take 4th spot. NZ loose 3 in a row and vs SL its 60/40 Nz game. Pak will play last game after Nz we can manage NRR in case Nz beat SL 🧑‍💻
 
Cummins loves hurting people. Does it often. World class test bowler. Not so much in odi but his bouncers are nastyyyy
 
Only kohli and co can chase this in india.
No they can't. Lol kohli and co can't chase anything over 300 these days against full strength attacks. Max 290.

People need to stop overrating them. They are good but not that good. 300 with their tail is the Max they can get. Especially not against ayssies. In a ko no chance.
 
New Zealand is going for the highest successful run-chase in the World Cup history.
 
1st wicket is down for New Zealand. Conway is gone. Kiwis are 61/1 now
 
Will young was struggling in my opinion and he is gone now. New Zealand is 2 down now for 73 runs.
 
Very good batsman Mitchell. Quite enjoyed the way he pumped kuldeep down the ground for huge sixes
 
Kiwis probably will end either side of 350, but 390 is too big a score.

Few years back, just when ODI cricket started to become distasteful, Aussies played a 3 game series in NZ & Kiwis won 3-0, every time chasing, and their lowest target was probably 339, that too inside 48 overs. But this is a WC game ….
 
After 15.2 overs, New Zealand is 107/2. Those 2 wickets have dented the progress of Kiwis. from 10 an over to 7 an over.
 
I expect NZ to lose against South Africa too. Even England shouldn't be easy for them.

But, they should beat SL easily.

Yea i remembered that series, it was just before 2007 world cup . Bond ,Ross Taylor and Craig Macmillan were the hero of that series for NZ .
 
Last World Cup, New Zeland was all over Australia but times have changed and Australia gave them a bashing for a lifetime to remember.
 
In olden days, formula was, what you score in 20 overs, normally triple that score unless you loose more than 1 wicket - Kiwis are ahead in that regard, but have lost one extra wicket. It’ll be a close game; but Aussies are massively favourites
 
NZ is playing smart game .they know that they can't chase so now they are playing sensible cricket to avoid big margin defeat .
 
Mitchell is a lowkey beast. This is a another good innings from him.

Will only be a close game if Starc keeps bowling I guess.

Has been horrible for quite some time. Spraying it everywhere.
 
Game is long since buried but NZ have done well to entertain fans.

All going well they will be able to reach 320 or so and not let their NRR dip much
 
New Zealand is going at 7 runs an over. After 22 overs, they are 155/2. Pretty much in this chase if they don't loose any quick wickets.

NZ are still in it tbh. They can 90 in the last 10 if the have wickets
