New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 33, World Cup | Edgbaston | June 26, 2019 | New Zealand innings

[Ahmed216]

We dont have good spinners otherwise NZ were in real trouble

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need 3 wickets Asap don't want to chase more than 160

 

[Hasan123]

Wahab on.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Contain and pressure ......... like a lpg tank

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wahab veer it's your time to shine now

 

[Mueez]

Wahab bowl a yorker to Williamson.

Surprise him.

 

[saeed5646]

Husnain as a threat bringing best out of wahab .Competition is always good

 

[Hasan123]

Luck.

 

[DRsohail]

Williamson is so hard to bowl to.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Very lucky Kane here

 

[Madplayer]

Luckyyyy.

Bowl a fast yorker to this williamson. He likes to play the ball late. Let him play a fast yorker late.

 

[Majid Khan]

It looks the kind of pitch where Pakistani batsmen might struggle to get 170.

Bowl them out quick or it won’t be easy.

 

[Titan24]

Lucky for Williamson

 

[Madplayer]

We need a couple of quick wickets here.

 

[Fahdi]

Wahab nearly had him.....

 

[Hasan123]

Decent over by Wahab.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Oh wow good over from wahab

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

It is not wahab or amirs day today .......... time for shaheen and hafeez to do the job may be imad.

 

[Jeetlodil]

NZ on course for 250

 

[aukhan]

Why is Imad javelin thrower playing today? His batting is useless anyway.

 

[saeed5646]

Luck is favouring kane .Excellent over from wahab

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great over Wahabbbyy

 

[Fahdi]

Very very good from Wahab.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

oh may be i am wrong.

 

[ChTab]

Wahab looking very good beaten williamson 3 times in the over that's a massive thing.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

The more I watch these low scoring matches, the more Im admiring Steve Waugh & Bevan. Damn you need some nerve to play in such difficult situation and come out winning most of the times

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It looks the kind of pitch where Pakistani batsmen might struggle to get 170.

Bowl them out quick or it won’t be easy.

Agreed. 200 will push us hard

 

[ARK Rafay]

200 will be a score that New Zealand bowling can win them on their day. Need wickets

 

[saeed5646]

Thankfully nz are playing only one specalist spinner

 

[Hasan123]

What frustrated me about Shadab was he seem to be more interested in off the field stuff and not improving his game. But in this WC he has done well with the ball.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Williamson is a Wall

 

[saeed5646]

Please wahab get kane

 

[bantu]

Pakistan has been tremendous today .. You guys do the extremes very well ... Mercurial /Unpredictable or inconsistent whatever others call ..

 

[Hasan123]

You guys need to be patient . NZ were never going to be dismissed for 90 lol. There was always going to be a decent partnership.

 

[Ahmed216]

Anything over 210-15 is going to be very difficult

 

[saeed5646]

Good pressure on neesham .false shot coming

 

[baggy blue]

I have a small prediction .. kiwis will win if Williamson score century , anything less than that it will be Pakistan..

 

[Hasan123]

Neesham is feeling the pressure.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wow another good over by wahab

 

[saeed5646]

Good pressure on neesham .false shot coming

Almost nick it

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam will be essential today with his slow batting

 

[DRsohail]

Pakistan has been tremendous today .. You guys do the extremes very well ... Mercurial /Unpredictable or inconsistent whatever others call ..

Have not won it yet ,,,with pakistani batting line up you never know.

 

[ARK Rafay]

New Zealand looking around 100 - 120 by the end of 30 overs. How many more will they get in the last 20?

 

[Aman]

I don't know what to make of this pitch, early it looked good. Now the batsmen are struggling to judge the ball and the spinners are turning it sharply.

Idk if 220 is a good or bad score.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Pak going real well.....shaheen was awesome.....wow only 19 what a star...

 

[Afhan Ali]

Offs
What Bould, Henry and furgason will done to us?

 

[saeed5646]

Look who is in the house. azhar ali

 

[Aman]

Need to bat the overs and get what you can and hope the bowlers can bail the batsmen out.

 

[Sarwar89]

Anything over 210-15 is going to be very difficult

i remember back in 1997 winter, at Sharjah, Pakistan curtailed England to 215 in 50 overs. Some how Pakistan could not chase it down, despite Azhar mahmood's heroics, it was a very similar pitch to this.
England ended up winning that tournament, it was composed of 4 teams.

 

[Green Patriot]

Azhar Ali cheering on the Greens.

 

[saeed5646]

Very good pressure on neesham

 

[Grunge101]

There is definitely something innthe pitch.. Just enough movement to catch the edge or the pad in front.. Boult will be an absolute handful..
Need to restrict them below 180

 

[ARK Rafay]

I don't know what to make of this pitch, early it looked good. Now the batsmen are struggling to judge the ball and the spinners are turning it sharply.

Idk if 220 is a good or bad score.

It's not a demon of a pitch 200-220 won't be match winning total.

But you never know how Pakistan will bat

 

[sindhiboy]

Poor Williamson is digging his team out of a whole again

 

[Jeetlodil]

Rain will help Pakistan

 

[Aman]

I hope it only gets harder to bat in the second innings and there's more turn.

Kane may need to bowl 10 overs today.

 

[saeed5646]

Both are tuk tuking .Pakistan is unlucky to not get a wicket

 

[Aman]

There is definitely something innthe pitch.. Just enough movement to catch the edge or the pad in front.. Boult will be an absolute handful..
Need to restrict them below 180

It's Henry who will be the key.

 

[SM1989]

Was azhar Ali shooing the kid away in the audience?

 

[Fahdi]

I would bring Amir back after a few overs. He's been taking wickets during these middle overs and we need him to do so again

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wasim when commentating is the geriatric headmaster of your school/college gently admonishing you for not completing your homework assignments.....does anyone feel the same....

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Come on wahab Bhai no loose stuff

 

[Jeetlodil]

Poor Williamson is digging his team out of a whole again

More like digging out England

 

[Green Patriot]

Williamson on 40.
The guy is a champ.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Have to say pak played really good today as much as i wanted nz to win you just have to give credit where its due...shaheen whatta good and young prospect

 

[Grunge101]

Offs
What Bould, Henry and furgason will done to us?

Something similar to what we've done..Boult will be potent here.. Not too sure about the other two

 

[Sarwar89]

in 1992 world cup final, Pakistan were 100/2 in 31 overs. ended up scoring 249. Colin de Grandhomee can do an inzamam

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

How many overs since last wicket

 

[Green Patriot]

How many overs since last wicket

Last wicket fell in the 13th over.

 

[Hasan123]

Current length isn't going to trouble Williamson. Need to try a yorker or a bouncer.

 

[ARK Rafay]

These two are setting up stage for CDH

 

[shariqnoor]

Just get the feeling Neesham is about to explode.

 

[Green Patriot]

Need a wicket man.
They are building a solid partnership.If they get to 200 i dont trust our batsmen.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Nothing happening now.Needs to patient though

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

84 in 25 is quite good but we need to make good of this opportunity now

 

[Aman]

Just get the feeling Neesham is about to explode.

Too early, these two need to bat deep and provide a base.

 

[shariqnoor]

Wasim with his "sports page" story for the 1,000,000,000,000,000th time.

 

[the Great Khan]

need to get williamson..they just need to get to around 220..250 will be a great score here..

 

[Aman]

That looked close.

 

[saeed5646]

Seems like kane plan is clear grind it out to 220
