Good thing Pakistan left out the battery of fake all rounders of Shadab, Nawaz & Mir. Should have gone with this line up from day one, but oh well!
 
Update on Shadab Khan:

He is recovering well from a concussion. He did light training yesterday however there were still some symptoms ruling him out of this match. He is likely to be available for Pakistan’s last group match against England in Kolkata.​
 
In a possible rain affected games it is always better to bowl first as DRS calculations more often than not favours the chasing team.

Hope pak pacers make full use of the overcast conditions and get Kiwis all out for less than 150 and chase it down within 25 overs.
 
NZ knows how poor Pakistan are vs spinners that they are only going with 2 seamers and daring them to beat us in this tiny ground that is generally flat.

If Pakistan aren't all out smashing their spinners today in a must win game and in a game where they need to catch up on the NRR, then they are a hopeless bunch.
 
Sun is out now.. Seems like it will not rain at least till 3 or 4 pm. Good decision to bowl first, as it rained overnight and moisture should help Pakistan seamer upfront.
 
We need Shaheen to get Conway and Rachin out early - both of those guys are dangerous.
 
Garner Roberts Holding Croft

Clark Johnson Tait Harris

SSA Rauf Hassan WasimJr.

when was the last time Pakistan played 4 quicks in an ODI

They owned us with Phillips and 2 other spinners in NZ in the t20 series, they definitely know we are probably the weakest Asian team Vs spin
 
Devon Conway's bat is silent since 1st game. Probably he will score a hundred today.
Fakhar Zaman is Pakistan's X-factor. He will be their key in the chase.
 
Contrasting philosophy- PAK, an Asian team going with 4 pacers, backed by a part-time spinner, while Kiwis, a SENA team is going with 4 spinners… in an Asian WC game. I’m sure my BOSS was waiting to see this day, his dream come true.

The toss was almost irrelevant today - composition of the team (s), left no other options.
 
Pakistan should look to get them out cheaply as soon as possible and then chase it down quickly. Good toss to win and good selections as well.'

These predictions are almost useless from what I’ve seen. I remember 80-20 or whatever in favor of Pakistan in the SA chase lmao with RRR of 2-3.
 
230 will be safe score for NZ, wonder how Pakistan will win by 80 runs now, Santner and Sodhi bowling in tandem chaos!
 
With this bowling attack, and world class NZ Batsmen lets see how Pakistan cope up with it
 
Will be late today.
Will tune in later.
Btw Jamieson is better than Henry.

Just goes to show how T20 has ruined Pakistan’s cricket development, also doesn’t help the domestic structure is no longer relevant. Players know they will be picked for Test & ODI cricket based on T20 performances. That’s why you have Rauf & others who can’t bowl anything more than 4-overs.

Unfortunate how the country that produced Salim Malik, Saeed Anwar, Inzy, Mohammed Yousuf, Ijaz Ahmed, Younis Khan, Zaheer Abbas etc can no longer play spin.
 
Jamieson is not better then Henry in ODIs tbh. Matt henry was bowling good stuff but he got injured, What a loss for kiwis this. But yes, Jamieson is dangerous

Good toss to win for Pakistan.
Given the weather conditions, it is no brainer to bowl first.
But, they should have stick with Usama Mir. He was getting back to his rhythm in last 2 games.
They should have rest Haris rauf.
 
NZ bowling looks extremely thin with just Boult and Santner to overcome. Sodhi bowls loads of long hops. Rest all are trundlers or part time spinners.

Harris rauf is undroppable

He will still be given the ball after getting smashed for 20+ runs
 
IMO Babar again made wrong decision because it’s a pressure match….. Pak should have batted first and put runs on board….batting 2nd means more pressure on Pak….. Also later in a day rain may affect game, DLS method may be deciding
 
Worried about the team composition. NZ are generally very good at reading pitch and conditions.

as @MMHS said, t20 is our national sport. Not hockey, and not cricket.
 
Shadab
Usama
Nawaz

all on bench in Indian conditions . What a zillat
 
If rain is expected in evening, Pak need to take it out the equation. Bowl NZ out with 10-20 overs to spare and then chase it in 20-30 overs.

Not always, just look at their last game against SA. They won the toss and elected to bowl first going by the track record of the ground and still lost it by a big margin.
 
Is it sunny now? suddenly. Man Pak should win this so the end stages become more interesting. Rain shoiuldnt play spoiled sports
 
SHAHEEN SHAH AFRIDI WILL NEED TO TAKE 3 WICKETS IN THE INNINGS TO KEEP THE PAKISTANIS IN.

Also NZ lost both games chasing
 
Pakistan should stop Kiwis on a low total and take the rain out of the equation.
 
The 2019 WC vs NZ was lit . What a crowd overcast amir and shaheen on fire . Sarfraz taking a one handed catch. Babar scoring ton.
 
A chase within 35 overs warrants a limitation of <210 runs for the initial batting side.
 
I think Kiwis predicted that PAK will bowl first if they win toss, while their plan was always to bat first - it’s a day game, no fee factor, otherwise that bowling combination doesn’t make any sense. Also, I don’t think they are bothered much about the weather forecast - there could be a passing shower, but we’ll get at least close to 100 overs game.
 
Captain Kane is a very cool batsman. Rachin is a very dangerous man. Beware.
 
Pakistan attack eggs in 1 basket, all Nz need is to bash a couple of overs of Rauf and Hassan and Babar will lose his script
 
Playing in India against NZ without a spinner. Babar Azam you deserve all the criticism that comes your way

Aren't teams putting a big total and then defending it with ease this WC? If we win its a great decision else it's a bad one, with so mnay collapses we are hoping for a bowling miracle and chasing a small total.
 
Pakistan best chance is making sure they get early wickets and restrict NZ to a low total around 250 if possible and chasing it around 40 overs or so to get that NRR close to even if not more than NZ.
 
Hassan will also be the key here. He needs to come good here and should bowl his heart out

Depends on weather and pitch too
Last night it rained pitch is moist and its early morning ball plays different
 
16 wickets so far even after eagle being out of form this world cup. Shabashe
