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

[Madplayer]

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

Its not about that. At 60-4, Pakistan shouldnt have allowed them to score these many.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We have lacked discipline. All NZ has done is bat for time. Our lads have lost the intensity and now the bad balls are also coming in.

Pitch has become even better for batting.

 

[AdamM97]

NZ middle order doesn’t consist of Buttlers and Morgans. Will score no more than 220.

 

[BleedGreen]

Ok ball is definitely coming on to bat easily now. This has become a 270-280 pitch

 

[Gullycricket]

Nz have won these low scoring games in this WC.We need to wrap them quick.

 

[topspin]

Wasim Akram just reads the stats he sees in front of the screen

But still prefer him in the comm box to Ramiz and Waqar.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Let 5 overs 60 runs is my prediction

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Last 15 overs pathetic for pakistan. Losing the plot again after get on top

 

[jusarrived]

Pitch is easing up . Pak should easily chase ~250 here

 

[Green Patriot]

Anything over 200 and i would see NZ as the favourites.
I hope its our day today though.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

They scored 90 off 101 balls very good partnership

 

[hasanali]

New Zealand are only playing one spinner. We should win this.

 

[AdamM97]

Shaheen beta take a wicket.

 

[Mueez]

This is Pakistan’s game to lose now.

Pitch is a belter.

Come on boys!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Keep it tight. A low calibar tullaybaaz like CDG shouldn't have been allowed to score this many runs

 

[Gullycricket]

Ok ball is definitely coming on to bat easily now. This has become a 270-280 pitch

Don't think so.This can easily become 130-140 pitch when we bat

 

[Syed1]

Pitch is easing up . Pak should easily chase ~250 here

With 6 and a bit overs to go to get to 250 they will have to bat at 11 rpo.... hoping and praying will not get them to 250.

 

[Shafi]

What is the par score in this pitch???

 

[kant]

Just tuned in. Pitch assisting bowlers/pak bowling well or poor batting by NZ ?

 

[Pakpak]

This is Pakistan’s game to lose now.

Pitch is a belter.

Come on boys!

Pitch is a belter? What are you watching

HOnestly your posts are absolutely hilarious. Keep them up.

 

[Bilal7]

How's the pitch playing, guys?

 

[Mueez]

Just tuned in. Pitch assisting bowlers/pak bowling well or poor batting by NZ ?

Pak bowling well.

Awesome spell of bowling by SSA

 

[Gullycricket]

Fielding has been good today

 

[andy0204]

Pakistan needs to have a good start.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Just tuned in. Pitch assisting bowlers/pak bowling well or poor batting by NZ ?

Pakistan bowled brilliantly. Pitch is also not too easy. Combination of both I'd say.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

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.

Hmnn NZ is such a difficult team to read. Whole team is full of useful bits n pieces players. Its like Imad Wasim 11.

 

[Madplayer]

This is impossible to give out.

 

[pillionrider]

What is the par score in this pitch???

1 run more than what Pak can chase

 

[Aman]

Why review that?

 

[AdamM97]

Hmnn NZ is such a difficult team to read. Whole team is full of useful bits n pieces players. Its like Imad Wasim 11.

Raillu Katta XI.

 

[fluke]

we are losing the plot here please now imam have to play his role play out first 10 12 overs without losing wicket and then let fakhar go for shots we need to imam tuk tuk today to play out fergosan and boult

 

[BleedGreen]

Yaar

 

[Hasan123]

Ultra edge should have been used.

 

[jusarrived]

With 6 and a bit overs to go to get to 250 they will have to bat at 11 rpo.... hoping and praying will not get them to 250.

Thats the worst case , but not impossible if kiwis dont lose wickets soon . Pak will have to bowl badly from them to reach 250 , but 220-225 is realistic .

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pitch is a belter? What are you watching

HOnestly your posts are absolutely hilarious. Keep them up.

While Pakistan can collapse on even a cement wicket under pressure, this wicket is a good batting track. NZ were just terrible till the 35th over. It's even better now.

 

[Hasan123]

It's not out. All this drama for what?

 

[BleedGreen]

They reviewed that? Lol

 

[Syed1]

They reviewed that? Lol

No umpires did

 

[Bilal7]

This should be Imam, Babar and Haris' chase. I'd have these three in the top order and Fakhar at #4. Seeing off the new ball is absolutely vital.

 

[bluevision]

Lol..Sarfu

 

[JibranAnsari]

what a stupid review that was.

 

[AdamM97]

Don’t mind a stupid review in this situation. We’re fine.

 

[shah_1]

Wth was that lol

 

[Syed1]

what a stupid review that was.

It was an umpires review

 

[kingusama92]

Why would you review that?

 

[BleedGreen]

Almost run out

 

[AdamM97]

No umpires did

Oh we didn’t lose a review? Nice.

 

[Omer2002]

it was our review strange

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Man this should have been over ages ago

 

[Strike!]

Lol what was that?

 

[JaDed]

Im glad Kiwis got dished out a such pitch considering how batting first is a nightmare kn NZ.

 

[pillionrider]

Man this should have been over ages ago

It might be over today

 

[shah_1]

It was an umpires review

2nd review was by Sarfraz

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent stuff by Afridi.

 

[BleedGreen]

So umpire reviewed it and it was not out. Then pak asked to re review it and lost their review. What the hell was that

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Why review that?

This is a question we ask once in every game, it's not a new thing for Sarfraz.

 

[volcyz]

Atrocious fielding from Wahab

 

[Cric_lover4487]

While Pakistan can collapse on even a cement wicket under pressure, this wicket is a good batting track. NZ were just terrible till the 35th over. It's even better now.

220-230 on this wkt is a good score. It wont be an easy chase for Pak. Dont underestimate NZ bowling. Boult n co. are good bowlers.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Pakistan lost a review

 

[Mean&Green]

Naam hi Kafi the mans a afridi he will obviously be. A star

 

[Syed1]

Excellent over by Shaheen

 

[saeed5646]

There is definitely reverse. Wahab should enjoy bowling

 

[theariezman]

Pakistan didn't took the for God's sake

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pitch should easier to bat on when Pakistan chase here.

 

[kingusama92]

Oh we didn’t lose a review? Nice.

First review was the umpires (without Ultra Edge).

Second review was Pakistan's (with Ultra Edge). Pretty dumb by Sarfraz when there was a clear gap.

 

[uberkoen]

Good spell by Shaheen

 

[IAJ]

The wicket has eased out and soon the sun will be out. Pakistan would just need a big partnership here when they bat.

 

[CCAD]

Sarfraz isn’t a very bright fellow is he ������
Can’t believe he reviewed that.

 

[ak619]

This is the stupidest DRS review I have ever seen a captain take!!!

What the hell Sarfraz! The ball went UNDER the bat. It's physically IMPOSSIBLE for it to be a catch!

 

[Madplayer]

Where are the bloody wickets.

 

[AdamM97]

It might be over today

Someone is trying to be cheeky

 

[JaDed]

Top bowling from Afridi.. had a massive impact today, lucky PAk had him waiting to prove himself over Hasan.

 

[JellyBro]

Yorker length is the way to go on this pitch

 

[Titan24]

6 overs from Amir and Wahab, should restrict them around 220 or so

 

[Gullycricket]

CDG playing for 50

 

[the Great Khan]

this is going to be a big test for our batting...

 

[BleedGreen]

This has become a batting paradise

 

[saeed5646]

Finally pak bowler and fielders have woken up

 

[Usman Chadda]

220-230 on this wkt is a good score. It wont be an easy chase for Pak. Dont underestimate NZ bowling. Boult n co. are good bowlers.

The wicket has nothing, just a bit of seam movement for the bowlers. Shaheen bowled a demon spell, where the ball seamed away just a touch. Nothing exaggerated.

Spin is on offer though for certain.

We have to bat really poor to not be able to chase 225 here.

 

[Green Patriot]

Amazing spell by Shaheen today
