What's new

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

NZ is suffering from lack of match practice for their middle order. They had couple of soft games to start, then Indian game got washed out & Will/Ross did the bulk job against us - their middle order is almost untested and now they have a series of tough games. Won't be surprised if they lose to AUS, SAF & WIN as well (in fact should lose if WIN bowls first). PAK game is probably still safe.

They will beat West Indies.

South Africa look like getting through if they win today.
 
WC already has been interesting, rain and Afghanistan matches spolied it a bit but it`s coming back now.
 
I dont care about Pakistan at this point. I am just talking in the context of this game. I will focus on Pakistan once they play.

That's why your getting happy because you think we are through. Long way to go before doing banghra yet.
 
Do SA have any other spinner in playing Xi apart from Tahir should give him a over or two
 
Can KW be their hero? This is a massive chase from here on. Very very tough. Guys like Neesham, CDG are good for playing after over no.35 to do some acceleration. Not building from 21st over
 
NZ still under pressure, SA has the upperhand and must keep the energy up and build pressure on NZ
 
Let's not write off Nz just yet. Williamson might do it for them. But yes, their middle order looks vulnerable against half decent bowling.
 
Anyone else getting vibes from the Pak vs SA game from 2015? except for Yasir Shah mooning himself on the boundary rope
 
Plz beat up the pathetic Aussies. Just plz dont beat us.

Australia is the only side left BD hasn’t beaten this decade least once, because they haven’t played much at all. And this might be the last chance in this decade as aussies avoided wanting ODI series last time in BD 2016. It would be great to beat them tomorrow.
 
Easy to dismiss williamson. Put a backward point. if possible two of them. He always tries to tap the ball to third man.
 
Kiwis are well behind DWL predictor, around 20 runs. Another wicket before 100, this game is over for them.

Good observation. I think india did that many times on their tour of Nz. Williamson got frustrated due to dot ball pressure and eventually threw away his wicket.
 
Williamson hasn't really played gun knocks in ICC tournaments. Usually gets going like this and than gets out. A surprise for a player with such a good temperament.
 
If that was true ,everysingle pakistan match would have been washout bar indvpak

That`s what they WANT you to believe, ICC and BCCI frequencies have been reaching and programming your jewish reptilian brain at an alarming rate. Brainwashed sheep watching the cwc are part of the nwo agenda. WOKE AF
 
Probable SF

India vs Nz at Manchester

Eng vs Aus at Edgbaston

Final

India vs Eng at Lords

He played a gun knock against Aus last WC
 
BD may or may not go to the semi but I have got a feeling that BD will beat either of Aus or India in this WC.
 
NZ should still win but maybe luck changed with those 3 dismissals. Maybe we might get some luck now.

Sadly even tho india won all of 2015WC league matches,lost in SF
This has been trend.would gladly want this to end,but if its indvaus or indveng in sf there is possibility india will crumble :-(
 
Pakistan team has lost all the motivation and desire by reading the papers and watching Tv and following social media it seems we dont deserv SF go Nz go
 
Man BD had NZ under the ropes. We wouldve smooth sailed to semi by now against 100 odd lol.

They still won after u got them under ropes or so you say,nor have they lost this match,its evenly posed.

100 run partnership =nz wins
2-3 quickwickets =Saf wins
 
It's kinda sad that Proteas are fighting to stay alive in this competition only to be eaten alive by Pakistan in the next game, such sad is life :akhtar
 
Another Epic match is developing between New Zealand and South Africa, bringing back the memories of Eden Park Auckland 2015.
 
Apparently if NZ win this game, Pakistan is out of the WC and all other matches become irrelevant

How come? It doesnt really mater since not all Sfinalists have confirmed spot yet, only thing makes sure pak go home is losing any single one of remaining matches
 
Of all teams Eng and Ind looked the real deal rest of all have evident weaknesses
 
This game will take a turn and btw what kind of pitch will be for SA v Pak im expexting a similar kind of wikt
 
Pakistan doesn't jave a backup opener a backup wicket keeper a proper off spinner or miserable left arm spinner
 
Btw, RSA win here wont help BD. If anything RSA will beat Pak and get closer to semi and rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

NZ is the team to bring down out of the top 4. It does help BD. Because the other 3 is almost certain unless BD beats Aus tomorrow and England and NZ beat Aus. But I feel realistically NZ is the target. If they lose it opens doors for SA, Pk, even Windies and SL. For the sake of tournament too it be better SA win against NZ.
