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

If NZ don't lose any more wicket till 35th over, they can win this. RRR is not out of hands.

221 runs are needed from 160 balls.
 
Mitchell the big fish gone.
There was no need for that Shot as 9 runs already scored from that over .
 
Mitchell gone. Shame as Rachin had gotten the two boundaries. Live by the sword, you'll die by it occasionally.
 
NZ - 177/3 (27 overs).

They need to keep wickets in hand and go nuts during the final 10 overs.
 
Tbf wtc is a farce so exclude that one. But yes astonishing feat.

8 titles.
Who is second? Must be India or w.indies I guess. With 5?

2nd are West Indies and India (jointly).

Windies: 2 ODI WCs + 2 World T20s + 1 CT.

India: 2 ODI WCs + 1 World T20 + 2 CTs.
 
Today, kiwis have Neesham, could be a close game!!
 
Kiwis are always 1 wicket more down - 190 of 21 overs with 8 wickets …. a T20 situation and teams can win from there.
 
10 run from the over .
NZ need another 181 runs from 20 over
Required Run rate is 9 .
 
Got lucky with that, but Ravindra continuing to impress. 👌🏾
 
I don't think we will get close finish .this game will done in next 6 over . Latham is culprits
 
All of Pakistan looking for NZ to loose.

What I cant seem to understand is how we gonna beat NZ and England?

Pakistan are done and dusted. Deluded fans harbour hope of Pakistan making the semis.

I'm loving watching NZ chase this. It's too stiff a target to believe they'll make it, but I want them to, and that's as a Pak fan.

Ravindra with another tracer bullet!
 
Still, just one wicket behind - this partnership has to take it down to two digit.
 
Clash of titans

World cricket in action.

How are New Zealand going to chase this only to give hope to Pakistan for them to qualify?
 
Ravindra, Chapman and Phillips

Backing you boys to get these runs

Will young waste of space

I’d rather open with Chapman
 
Philips is a monstrous hitter & he had a great day with ball today - a good day with bat can win this. Shantnar & Henry can hit as well.
 
What a fabulous team NZ are. No fanfare like Ind/Pak. No celebrity status in their country. Williamson injured, Bracewell injured ,no drama, no excuses, just get on with job and get it done professionally.
 
82 in 121 balls. Very very doable tbh. Need 2 more wickets. Great performance by kiwis. Showed some steel.
