ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand (288/6) deliver a 149-run thrashing to Afghanistan (139) in Match 16

[kron]

If i remember right this analysis was done by Bishop before. And also Damien fleming too i think. The release point of Naveen and Bumrah are farther than any other bowlers. Bumrah has higher speed. 135 k from Bumrah will appear quicker than 135k from Cummins or Shaheen.

wonder why naveen is a fair bit slower than bumrah. i feel like his technique is poor.

 

[Devadwal]

Slow but steady partnership which is set perfect platform for great finish .

His knee collapses somewhat. Bumrah's knee is upright. It allows him to generate extra speed. Also wrist gives a flick.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ is looking now for 270+ total

 

[Major]

Should had bowled azmatullah some more overs when the guys were not attacking

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slow but steady partnership which is set perfect platform for great finish .

They are always very calculative. Since the days of opening with Deepak patel and sending Greatbatch to open. They set the trend of being strategical. Stephen Fleming improved the side strategically. Kane williamson has perfected it. Others are doing the same job. It is like how Border's legacy passing on to guys like Taylor, Waugh, ponting, Clarke.. all good. Endless suplly of good captains.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Afghans need 2 quick wickets here

 

[7sins]

Even without Williamson this nz looking very strong and balanced. And they play spin better than most Asian teams

 

[jnaveen1980]

Simon Doull and Watson are impressed with the pitch. Yes this is not a 300 pitch. Good old days of 270 pitch. They ain't chasing against Boult under lights also Henry.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What was that lol Ball reared up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing is sure. Pakistan wo n't get this pitch. They alternate between matches. Oh lord Mujeeb lazy guy dropped a sitter

 

[Ahmed216]

Fielding has been dreadful to say the least. NZ was 220-230 team max

 

[7sins]

One thing is sure. Pakistan wo n't get this pitch. They alternate between matches. Oh lord Mujeeb lazy guy dropped a sitter

What type of pitch will we get for Afghanistan match will it spin more

 

[Ahmed216]

Watson can't stop laughing at mujeebs effort

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic fielding by Afghanistan team today .

 

[jnaveen1980]

What type of pitch will we get for Afghanistan match will it spin more

On a pitch like this they will be very hard to get away. But if you are a good player of spin you should be able to deal with it.

 

[RehanG]

how can u play leagues all around and drop sitter like these.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a shot. Guy who dropped him was depsoited in the stands.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Immediate punishment.

 

[deltexas]

Makes their decision bowl even more baffling. Hope afg learn their mistake from this. I see a big afg collapse coming up..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghans never take care of their fielding seriously. They should hire a good coach if they can.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Insane running.. wow Philips was literally invisible.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another one down.

 

[Asif321]

Captain has dropped two simple chances

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith says "They are starting to make Australia look good"

 

[imshally81]

Lot of catch dropped....

 

[RehanG]

hmm its fishy..

 

[7sins]

Lol shocking catching I hope they will drop as many catches against pakistan too

 

[Asad T]

Mujeeb and the captain drop sitters off Rashid's bowling
Ian Smith "Afghanistan are making Australia look good in the field." hahah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rashid should lay into them. He is a good field generally.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mujeeb is traditionally a very poor fielder.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Half Century for Glenn Phillips

 

[jnaveen1980]

Noor was a hit last IPL. Poor guy would play for any other SENA country. He is sitting out. They have such a talented group of spinners

 

[Rana]

260-270 I recon Afghanistan should chase it

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is not at all suitable for Philips. But he fought his way to his 50. Probably one of his better 50.

 

[Ahmed216]

Mujeeb was way too quick for this surface

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghan is losing it because of their drops. Already hit 2 sixes after the drop

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 sixes after drop.

 

[batandballbattle]

afghans losing the plot here
they could even be looking at 300 here

 

[emranabbas]

Hashmatullah is a better captain than Babar
Straight away changed field after 2 6ixes
Babar would never think to do that

 

[deltexas]

260-270 I recon Afghanistan should chase it

No offense but there is no way Afg is chasing 270 here. Even chasing 240 will be a big stretch for them. They messed it up at the toss and it's biting them now

 

[emranabbas]

Why azmat is not bowling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Santner has 10 bankable overs. Then there is Boult with new ball and old ball these days. Henry with new ball. Some 20 plus overs bankable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is not a drop. Is hardsh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally Latham half century. phew.

 

[volcyz]

boggles the mind why they would bowl first

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Afghanistan is smart they should target their 4th and 5th bowler. But not sure they will be that tactical.

dont worry aus will give nz a hiding as per usual. whipping boys of aus.
we all seem to have one or several bogey teams.

for SA it can be anyone in a pressure game or nedtherlands. we have their number too.

for nz its us and aus

for india its nz
for aus its india

for england its pakistan and aus to an extent. they did beat aus in a ko last time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In Chennai you can fancy defending any total. Even 200. It was a surprise.

 

[deltexas]

Santner has 10 bankable overs. Then there is Boult with new ball and old ball these days. Henry with new ball. Some 20 plus overs bankable.

Plus Matt Henry and Ferguson. No way afg getting this

 

[Asad T]

A captains knock from Latham, who came in when NZ were reeling. Now he's set themselves up for a commanding total

India takes their foot of the gas whenever they played NZ. Especially Kohli is overly friendly with long term buddy Kane. He showed aggression only towards Aussies. Rohit has won 4 out of 5 games against nZ as captain.

 

[imshally81]

Match is already over for Afghanistan....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Done and dusted. NZ was clever in taking it deep instead of targeting 300. Now they can even get there.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Atlast they catch one after 5 drops

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good catch. by Afghanistan standards.

 

[volcyz]

Rashid the only one passionately wanting to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think Afghans care about this aspect at all. They run alright. But catching especially that Mujeeb dude anywhere i see he drops catches

 

[Saanji]

Afghans really let them escape .. nz will be around 60 runs

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Bowled, latham gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Exceptional bowling performance. But scorecard doesn't say that.

 

[batandballbattle]

rubbish delivery but they'll take the wicket, even if it is a little too late

 

[7sins]

Ain't no way Afghanistan are winning this match great fightback by nz there semis position secured for sure

 

[imshally81]

Back to back wickets...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is reversing a touch

 

[Devadwal]

Match is gone for Afghanistan.they can't chase anything above 250 .

 

[7sins]

Match is gone for Afghanistan.they can't chase anything above 250 .

Can't chase 220 plus on this track let alone 250+

 

[FearlessRoar]

NZ 257/6 (48 overs)

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea right lol That is what they wanted Start with a noball in penultimate over

 

[Sunzi]

Poor from Azmat. What is that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is more a 240 wicket. Aghanistan could have shot them out for 210. Instead they are staring at 275 to 280

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be Not dismissing Latham was not a bad idea lol This Chapman is on a roll

 

[RehanG]

This is more a 240 wicket. Aghanistan could have shot them out for 210. Instead they are staring at 275 to 280

u mean 290

 

[jnaveen1980]

Win the toss and Lose the match world cup. Most of them are like that misjudging the pitch. Even experienced sides

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a vastly experineced bowling unit. no getting away.

 

[vprasanna83]

what places are hotter? vizag i am told is hot

Many Many . Chennai rarely touches 40deg C , but humidity is a problem for new folks . Places like Delhi , Ahmedabad regularly touch 45 deg

Today it is 30 deg C with some breeze , so it is not too bad

 

[jnaveen1980]

70 above par.

 

[Rana]

Challenging score posted by NZ

 

[Rana]

Really poor fielding by Afghanistan

They could have had them below 220

 

[7sins]

No Williamson no problem for nz. Nz will give proper phainty to Afghanistan today expect them to lose by 100 or more runs
