New Zealand (168/7) smoke Sri Lanka (107/8) by a massive margin of 61 runs in Super Eight clash of T20 World Cup 2026

[Wasim Ghulam]

In hindsight we would have eaten England alive on such a pitch if our match would be here , Poms got lucky , but it's good we have Sri Lanka match not here , wrna our batters would sucks worse than Lankans vs Lankan spin attack.

We missed the trick by not playing Abrar. There is no sense in Keeping Nawaz and Shadab both in eleven. We needed 2 mystery Spinners

 

[Katwalindian]

Santner is key wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need another close fielder

 

[Katwalindian]

The way brook was playing...i don't think it would made difference

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Mcconche??? Kya hua dost?

 

[Zeshan547]

But that mean batting would be even thinner.

 

[deltexas]

Incredible really. Aside from South Africa all favorites have been lagging

And yeah its good to see , makes it more compelling ! Aus out. Ind under the pump and under some serious pressure now with WI breathing down their neck , NZ under the cosh here in an almost must win game , Pak as always depending on some rain, mystery calculations, etc LOL , SL never know what you get from them..

 

[Human786]

sad shape this - 88/6 in 14 ... can they get to 130 ?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

The way brook was playing...i don't think it would made difference

But We did nt need to get him out if other end remained under pressure. Sam Curran took so many singles and 2s with ease allowing brook to wreak heavoc

 

[Asif321]

Usman khan Fakhar and Agha can play spin of lanka . Need to back themselves

 

[prash88]

NZ loss ll bring Pakistan right back into the tournament. Kudrat ka nizam working?

 

[KingKhanWC]

England only got 140 odd but defended .

Lanka need to finish this asap

 

[Human786]

Not to forget some good cricket from associates in 1st round ...

 

[deltexas]

150 still on the cards here if NZ bat smartly..

 

[AndayWalaAllRounder]

@Bhaijaan which Claude is operating your account?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Come on get atleast 140 somehow, SL will crumble

 

[deltexas]

NZ loss ll bring Pakistan right back into the tournament. Kudrat ka nizam working?

Never in doubt !

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

But that mean batting would be even thinner.

Replace Babar with a spinner. Be a team that banks on the bowling. Nawaz or Fakhar can bat at 4.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nope, not even close. NZ still has a game against Eng and their NRR is way better than Pak with a delta of 0.5

It could be horrible if all out for 120 and chased down easily.

Best outcome for Pakistan so far …

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

But that mean batting would be even thinner.

can we stop our fascination with Bits and pcs? how come we play 3 bowling all rounders considering Saim ayub and drop a genuine Spinner who could damage SENA team. 2 All rounders 4 Bowlers 5 Batters please

 

[AndayWalaAllRounder]

Look how once partnership broken, Shanaka immediately brough his strike bowlers and they got wickets too. And now look at the field set, he is strangling them, not even allowing them to take singles. Once they got to know slow deliveries working, all of the spinners are now bowling lot slow now. Pak should have learn this thing from Adil Rashid but sadly, Captain and spinners were clueless as hell.

 

[Kroll]

Oh balle balle just seen the score - whats going on here?

 

[Devadwal]

Game over for NZ. they won't recover from NNR even they win last game.

Pakistan vs Lanka - will decide the 2nd semifinals from this group.

 

[Human786]

9.1 overs - 54 for 6 by Kiwi's from 30/0 ....

 

[Devadwal]

Nope, not even close. NZ still has a game against Eng and their NRR is way better than Pak with a delta of 0.5

No , NZ NRR is going to be huge dent here. Problem -1.5

 

[Asif321]

Not more than 130 here and one stage it looked 180

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Oh balle balle just seen the score - whats going on here?

Nothing, just one more bubble of delusional activities.

 

[Smbhayi]

In hindsight we would have eaten England alive on such a pitch if our match would be here , Poms got lucky , but it's good we have Sri Lanka match not here , wrna our batters would sucks worse than Lankans vs Lankan spin attack.

Why do you think your batsmen will perform better (than England) in those pitches?

 

[globetrotter]

Akhir wala part to nahi hoskta boss

Hoga Bobby will score century against SL and will cement his place in the team for next 2 years and he will be front runner for captaincy post along with Shaheen Afridi who took 4 wkts in last match

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nz must hit , no point defending

 

[globetrotter]

NZ 91-6...... Srilanka have great chance to win this match.... this group is now wide open

 

[CricVet]

NZ can't even put the ball properly on the bat, finally a sweep gave them an odd boundary

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Why do you think your batsmen will perform better (than England) in those pitches?

Because they have got king?

 

[Omer2002]

this is without Hasanranga...

I mean by looking at rashid bowl yesterday it was so obvious spinners shud have bowled slowly ..nawaz and even saim but were so quick

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nicely played .

4 overs to get 40

 

[CricVet]

this is without Hasanranga...

I mean by looking at rashid bowl yesterday it was so obvious spinners shud have bowled slowly ..nawaz and even saim but were so quick

Pak problem is not playing ability, it is their thinking, or lack of!

 

[KingKhanWC]

40 dots .

 

[globetrotter]

Which side have better batting ?

Srilanka or Pakistan?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Enough spin but giving kiwis hope

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yessss shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Sri Lanka is looking good but may not be able to play as openly in Indian conditions as they are here. That will be the test for them if they qualify.

 

[CricVet]

SL should stick with spin, even part timers

 

[Katwalindian]

Pak problem is not playing ability, it is their thinking, or lack of!

Srilanka will beat Pakistan also...look at their strategy and body language

 

[Bhaijaan]

Conchie bhai has arrived with only one aim, to ruin the party of Asians.

 

[Asif321]

Pitai started 145 on

 

[batandballbattle]

kon hai yeh mconchie? great wristwork in his sixes

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wah re wah

One more

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Proper Cricketing Shots Mcchoncie . No Slog..pure timing

 

[Asif321]

Coochie seems good player

 

[CricVet]

Srilanka will beat Pakistan also...look at their strategy and body language

SL is no different than Pakistan...they do have the ability to snatch defeat from victory. I have seen it many times

 

[Ball Blazer]

Will i get 5x XXL biryani meals then?

Such day isnt coming. Babar and T20s no longer belong to each other.

 

[Asif321]

150 still possible if they don’t get wicket

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Such day isnt coming. Babar and T20s no longer belong to each other.

Babar will next T20 WC.

 

[CricVet]

While spin was working so well, did they run out of spinners these Lankans?

 

[globetrotter]

If NZ scored 150+ .... game over for srilanka

 

[Katwalindian]

While spin was working so well, did they run out of spinners these Lankans?

Hemantha is remaining

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chowka
Alawwwww

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor captaincy , opened the door .

150 is a fighting score to defend

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Sri Lanka is looking good but may not be able to play as openly in Indian conditions as they are here. That will be the test for them if they qualify.

they will play in India only if they get to final

 

[Asif321]

Lankan brain fade has started

 

[Bhaijaan]

The Asian of the night - Brother Theekshana comes back on

He means business

 

[CricVet]

Lankans gave away the momentum here. Spun can still restore it

 

[Energy]

NZ have got themselves back in the game. They will defend 140 if they reach there.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Reverse swept for 1 by Conchie bhai

 

[DeadlyVenom]

they will play in India only if they get to final

they play semi there too bro.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Misfield

Sanity bhai gets FOUR

NZ 123/6

Asians, we did everything right, now it’s time to finish on a high and carry momentum to our batting.

 

[batandballbattle]

NZ comeback on
qudrat wale ka paseena nikal ra hai

 

[Energy]

My goodness. Your No.7 and 8 can do this! That's a proper team, not a bunch of phattus.

 

[Bhaijaan]

SIX FOUR

Santy bhai big blows are hurting us bro

Sri Lanka it’s time we refocus

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol, lucky four. Need more

 

[globetrotter]

NZ now going above 160

 

[Bhaijaan]

FOUR SIX SIX

Asian of the night Theekshana is becoming the villain of the night suddenly.

Very Unasian behaviour

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shoooooooot

 

[Asif321]

Ahhahaha lanka doing a Pakistan as usual

 

[KingKhanWC]

He looks like he works in I.T but guy can hit a ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Theeksana getting smashed. Santner burying SL here.

 

[Human786]

good recovery ... 137/6 in 18

 

[CricVet]

it is stupid captaincy. While spin had the choke hold, they brought a fast bowler. As they say, if it ain't broke, do not try to fix it.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yes thats no ball

 

[Asif321]

160 on now
