New Zealand [245/6] beat South Africa [241/6] by 4 wickets in 25th match of 2019 World Cup

[WengerOut]

Amla to prove haters wrong

 

[Hasan123]

If i predict correctly, i am sure Amla will continue the same conservative approach against them after 10. When you know you don't have the game to move in higher gears you have to go at a reasonably acceptable rate.

Faf ,Miller ,and Andile can accelerate. South Africa problem in this tournament has been batters have given their wickets away when set.

I am no Amla fan but when he is set he usually gets a big 1. He has to kick on today.

South Africa gave india a good fight chasing 230. NZ struggled to chase down to 245 against Bangladesh. South Africa have a good chance if they can get runs on the board.

 

[Hasan123]

He will end up scoring a century against us

Looking in good form now.

Agree. NZ's decision to chase could come back to bite them. If there is one thing that NZ team hates is express bowling. It is one of their weakness.

 

[Hasan123]

Henry is bowling well.

Usually South Africa have batting collapses that's what costs them in ICC tournaments. NZ should have tried to play to this.

Hope Pakistan bat 1st against South Africa.

 

[Khan12]

He has been in decent form lately, but I do think he is struggling because there is too much pressure on him at the moment. South Africa need to induct fresh blood in the top-order.

Amla is past it long time ago South Africa's Malik tough still miles better then Malik.. They need to replace him with J.Malan who looked decent. Plus Markram hasn't taken the opportunities given to him which are plenty.

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent shot by Faf.

SA will make changes after the WC. They aren't Pakistan who will carry aged players at the start of a WC cycle.

 

[Hasan123]

Faf is capable of accelerating. Needs to keep his head.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is not even moving off the pitch

 

[Hasan123]

Amla has excellent stats. But if you followed his career,you will know he lacks the impact to be seen as a elite player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Henry very economical spell 5 overs 11 runs

 

[Hasan123]

SA reluctant to play Henry outside the off stump.

 

[Hasan123]

See off the new ball and you can score runs here. Pakistan should take note as we are playing NZ here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Amla has excellent stats. But if you followed his career,you will know he lacks the impact to be seen as a elite player.

He has two world cup hundreds against Ireland and Netherlands and three 50s against Bangladesh, West Indies and India after 20 matches. Also in kncokouts his average drops drastically

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson keeping the field up. Excellent captaincy.

 

[Hasan123]

8k for Amla in ODIs.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

8000 ODI runs for amla, 2nd fastest

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what do you reckon about this game ?

 

[Hasan123]

Want to see more strike rotation between these 2.

 

[Hasan123]

Outfield too slow.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

3 boundaries saved so far. What an effort in field.

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 enjoying pace on the ball. Williamson bowling his main bowlers upfront , South Africa in a good position.

 

[talha 10]

Man NZ has to be the one of the top fielding side in the world, give absolutely everything in the field..

 

[Mkumar825]

Slow start

 

[Hasan123]

Faf gone.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a great yorker

Jazba Junoon :AAG:

 

[Mkumar825]

8000 ODI runs for amla, 2nd fastest

Soft 8000 Runs ever

 

[ARK Rafay]

These 2 enjoying pace on the ball. Williamson bowling his main bowlers upfront , South Africa in a good position.

Pace has undone Faf

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Short ball followed by a yorker, that was classic textbook

 

[Markhor]

What a ball. Just when SAF had stabilised.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

another out of form player, Markram

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Too good that was. Ferguson will decimate us.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

looks like 240 all out

 

[Hasan123]

Now SA can't even target this trash bowler.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Too good that was. Ferguson will decimate us.

Need to pick Hasnain over Hasan Ali, pace is troubling the best of the batsmen this world cup

 

[fight_club]

Oh My word what a screaming yorker by ferguson. As much as i would like Kiwis to lose
they have really won me over by their tiger like demeanor on the field. they simply have
best bowling attack

Take a bow champs

 

[Aman]

What a ball from Lockie.

 

[Khan12]

SA will make changes after the WC. They aren't Pakistan who will carry aged players at the start of a WC cycle.

Hope we will get rid of the rubbish too.

 

[Hasan123]

Pressure on South Africa now.

 

[Hasan123]

Hope we will get rid of the rubbish too.

Doubt we will.

 

[Hasan123]

Quality from Markham.

 

[Hasan123]

Rabada and Ngidi won't be easy to handle on this pitch.

 

[Aman]

Lockie has such a beautiful yorker.

Pure pace and carnage, brings back memories of the old days.

 

[Mkumar825]

Nz have best fast bowlers attack in this world cup .

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

cant see markram lasting long

 

[Hasan123]

Amla needs to rotate strike. He is set. Can't allow CDG to settle.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

making Grandhome look like world class bowler

 

[Khan12]

Doubt we will.

If we don't then we can say goodbye to our cricket and stop wasting our time watching the same clowns play again.

 

[Hasan123]

Game going nowhere for South Africa now.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Tbh South Africa are still dizzy, feeling the affects of the first game. They don’t know what’s hit them after losing to Bangladesh. They’ve not recovered. Games that followed they look so sluggish, plan less, Amla can’t get going with his timing, De Kock proving his just a bilateral series player, none of their batsmen scoring big, bowling looks toothless. List goes on.

 

[Hasan123]

Amla should look to accelerate. He is in and has the experience. Markham strike rate was decent in the recent South African list A competition.

 

[Hasan123]

Maybe it's not as flat as we thought. South Africa have the attack to defend around 270ish.

 

[Mkumar825]

Selfish approach

 

[Deewana]

crowds this world cup have been fantastic
didn't expect such a full ground for an non asian and non English match in Birmingham

 

[Hasan123]

South Africa taking risky singles.

what?
don't worry we are going home and will take you guys along with you when we break your heart at Lords

 

[Hasan2K8]

I was clearly talking about South Africa. If you could read back.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

What a strange innings this has been - they are making CDG look like some world beater.

 

[Hasan2K8]

The wicket looks on the slow side. Ball doesn’t seem much pace in it. I reckon this will definitely spin later on. 270 be a winning score here.

 

[Deewana]

3 boundaries saved so far. What an effort in field.

whenever i watch Nz field they just never miss anything
by far the best fielding side
Nz though have limited talent, they are so comitted hardworking and tactical
this is everything i want from our side (we currently just Like Nz don't have the talents like India or England)
I hope Nz wins the world cup defeating aus or india at Lords
and would love it if they do Haka after winning the WC
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]
maybe boult/williamson are too nice to do Haka

 

[Hasan123]

4 for Markham.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Makram needs to take the charge. Amla bats through

 

[Mkumar825]

CDG 5 over 10 run ???? Shocking

 

[Hasan2K8]

Amla still not timing it well.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is the first halal fifty of the tournament

Mashallah

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Bhai ka chowka

 

[Hasan123]

Amla needs to keep on rotating strike. He isn't a big hitter. But if he can bat through and keep rotating strike, South Africa will get a decent score.

 

[Hasan2K8]

First 50 for Hashim Amla of this WC

NZ doing Haka after winning the worldcup ,that would be epic lol

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pathetic strike rate here from both

 

[Markhor]

crowds this world cup have been fantastic

Beauty of a diverse society. Every team in England will get healthy support, even likes of Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

 

[Revolution]

My heart is telling SA will win the match.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

My heart is telling SA will win the match.

with a disappointing total

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Only 2 extras given by Kiwis, what a professional unit

 

[Syed1]

Uncle Amla is killing any chance we have at the WC

 

[talha 10]

Situation is tailor-made for miller. Lets see if he delivers today

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mitchell santer what a ball

Learn Shakib Learn
