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

[AamchiMumbaikar]

How has a mediocre hack like CDG survived on this difficult wicket so far? [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

CDG always does well against Pak, today Neesham is also doing well probably one of his best knocks so far for NZ!

 

[Aman]

What fantastic analysis. Sounds like cricket to me.

In ODIs those lines are hittable when you switch gears, not the case here..

 

[shah_1]

This game is reminding me of a game in 2006 in the champions trophy . South Africa were 42-5 , they got to 213 and got us all out for 89.

Please do something Pakistan.

Lol I see this happening all over again

 

[JibranAnsari]

I thought this game would heavily improve our NRR, i guess not

i would be happy with just increase in points

 

[saeed5646]

Babar ground fielding have been pathetic

 

[Hasan123]

Misfield

 

[Madplayer]

Stupid fielding.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I see [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is back posting. Predictable )

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Misfield and 3

Intensity has dropped

 

[shah_1]

Babar is such an average fielder

 

[QalandarFan]

Poor.

 

[Aman]

Has the pitch became easier to bat or Pak took it casually just like WI vs Aus game?. If NZ scores 240, we are in for a close game. Chasing is Pak's achillies heel.

Pakistan have shut down scoring when they've bowled tight lines, it's hard to get those away and you can't really switch gears and put it away. It's the loose balls these two have picked off.

 

[Mamoon]

Chris Harris, Oram, Neesham and Grandhomme type players have always been vital for New Zealand. Disappointing to see Corey Anderson fading away.

 

[JibranAnsari]

the ball isnt stopping much now.

 

[Syed1]

Bobby sucks as a fielder

 

[Hasan123]

Justin Kemp played a brilliant innings, similar to the one Neesham and CdG are playing.

Boucher was good too.

 

[Madplayer]

This partnership has put Pakistan in a lot of trouble.

 

[Gareebooo]

If Pak loses today can they still make it to semis?

 

[Usman Chadda]

CDG always does well against Pak, today Neesham is also doing well probably one of his best knocks so far for NZ!

He wont survive on a difficult wicket. Terrible batsman tbh. NZ have just been bogged down by pressure.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Hoshiari bohut hai Inn mein.Awful fielding

 

[cricketfan11]

You can see Pakistani players are getting a little agitated.
A few misfields in the last few overs
Sarfraz must regroup and get them to refocus. NZ looking on course for 200 plus now and Pakistan will be under pressure

 

[Executioner]

CDG is one of those hacks who has amazing mental strength.

 

[topspin]

Chris Harris, Oram, Neesham and Grandhomme type players have always been vital for New Zealand. Disappointing to see Corey Anderson fading away.

Corey Anderson should never have been dropped.

 

[Mamoon]

I see [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is back posting. Predictable )

I went for a nap. Only got 4 hrs of sleep last night.

 

[shah_1]

4 runs

 

[Syed1]

This partnership has put Pakistan in a lot of trouble.

Stop the rona dhona they are at 159 not 259

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Actually - 200 (which now looks achievable for NZ) will test Pakistan chasing on this wicket.
Considering the high stakes game this is.

I would be over the moon if they only score 200. I think it will be more like 220-230, and we can't really ask for more than that. If we can't chase it, it's because we aren't good enough. The pitch has something for the bowlers, but as these all rounders are showing, it's not hard to get to that sort of total playing sensible and risk free cricket.

 

[Madplayer]

Brilliant batting.

 

[BleedGreen]

Guys look how easy the ball is coming on the bat now

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

165 up ... wicket lo yaarrr

 

[Sir-fraz]

I see [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is back posting. Predictable )

Been following pp for 5 years, mamoon is always there even if he isnt posting. Lol

 

[Mehndi155]

It’s called a public forum if you want me to keep quiet leave.

Out here saying guys like Colin and Neesham will score 110-120 against us on this pitch. It’s not your boys England bowling.

True he doesn't seem like pakistan fan.
Colin and nessham will soon get out and we will be chasing 220.
Perhaps being malik fan didnt help

 

[Executioner]

With 50 balls left, if NZ get 70 more runs then j reckon they'll be favourites. Pakistan need to be careful

 

[Omer2002]

bobby is normally a good fielder today ...been bad

 

[AAli98]

Pak will struggle to chase anything close to 200. Pak lucky ish sodhi not playing..

 

[JibranAnsari]

why shaheen dropped his pace? he was doing pretty well with his pace today.

 

[Shafi]

NZ is favorite now!!! Its no way batting pitch. 220 is more than enough.

 

[QalandarFan]

True he doesn't seem like pakistan fan.
Colin and nessham will soon get out and we will be chasing 220.
Perhaps being malik fan didnt help

I know for a fact he isn’t.

 

[Hasan123]

Stop the 4s and 6s at least.

 

[Mamoon]

Corey Anderson should never have been dropped.

Difficult to accommodate him unless Munro is dropped and Latham or Williamson open. Munro has been poor, but New Zealand are banking on him coming off and taking the game away from the opposition.

 

[JibranAnsari]

8 overs , 70 more runs.

240 on.

NZ will become favorites to win.

 

[shah_1]

This has been some comeback by kiwis

 

[Mean&Green]

K if these two bat the 50 overs bye bye Pakistan

 

[BleedGreen]

Pitch is dry and good for batting now

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ok in trouble now. I'd make NZ favourites now

 

[Gareebooo]

How can pak let this chance slip

 

[Usman Chadda]

A pitch where Amir is going for 5.32 RPO is not a difficult wicket boys

 

[Omer2002]

why are all fielders right on the boundary as if they are i hitting sixes...

 

[Hasan123]

Need Amir to do his usual thing at the end.

 

[topspin]

I will take 220 now

 

[Tapeballcricket]

We could have never pulled off a partnership like this had we been in the same situation as New Zealand!

 

[Titan24]

Looks bit like Eng vs Pak CT 17 semi, wicket is also a bit similar (Slower in nature)

 

[theariezman]

This partnership has put Pakistan in a lot of trouble.

81 and going :/

 

[JellyBro]

Wicket coming up

 

[pillionrider]

Didn't like Shadab's attitude. Took it too friendly and it reflects how Pak seem to have been celebrating too early.

 

[Aman]

why are all fielders right on the boundary as if they are i hitting sixes...

Yeah, this is what I didn't get. We couldn't get the ball past the inner circle with the field up. Should have kept the field in.

 

[Madplayer]

Stop the rona dhona they are at 159 not 259

Oye hoye bara confidence hai batting main. Pakistan isnt comfortable in chasing even 159.

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on amir

 

[Jeetlodil]

Wakram saying 230 is a very good score

 

[shariqnoor]

If Pakistan don't take wickets soon, NZ will score 235-240 which would be a herculean chase.

 

[bluevision]

230 is par score as per Waz.. I don't think NZ will not get there. Even if they do manage, Pakistan should win. Pitch is not a minefield.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

He won't go for runs that's for sure

 

[babajee]

Oye hoye bara confidence hai batting main. Pakistan isnt comfortable in chasing even 159.

Don't worry. We will chase anything.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

NZ is favorite now!!! Its no way batting pitch. 220 is more than enough.

 

[theariezman]

Wicket coming up

looking looking

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible delivery with mid off in

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Slogged for CdG

 

[Jeetlodil]

This is close to Pakistan score v Australia in the 99 leagues game. Pakistan made 275

 

[Hasan123]

Poor bowling. Amir has not been good today.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yeah look at that shot from CDG. Through the line. You don't do that on a difficult wicket [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

 

[Madplayer]

 

[cricketfan11]

NZ players look extremely comfortable with pace.
Can't see any significant reverse swing.....nor pace.
Since they will now take risks how about bringing back Hafeez..at least he can get the ball to spin a little.

 

[BleedGreen]

Yar wicket lelo yaar kya masla ai

 

[Titan24]

Oye hoye bara confidence hai batting main. Pakistan isnt comfortable in chasing even 159.

Then they dont deserve to be in the next stages. You need to be able to chase par totals to be competitive

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan will actually need an Inzi of 92 today against Kiwis.

 

[ILcricket]

225-230 is perfect for Babar & co to chase .

 

[theariezman]

Poor bowling. Amir has not been good today.

Afridi has taken over ...balanced though

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Run a ball from here will give then 215. Kiwis will be happy with 230 i guess!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wahab for some reason hasn’t come around the wicket to the right hander once

 

[JellyBro]

Boba fett turning up the heat
