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

Idk how to feel about this, it's overcast so Amir could nick off the top order.
 
Well on a positive note, in 1992, in the group game, Pakistan fielded first, bowled NZ out for 166 and chased the score easily with only 3 wickets down
 
Bowlers need to charge in and strike early. Do not panic about chasing
 
How on earth does Munro manage to keep getting himself selected. He's played 50 ODIs and averages 26 :facepalm:

In 2004, NZ won the toss and batted first. Put on 500 and went on to win the game by 200 runs.

What is this rubbish :facepalm:
 
It’s overcast but it’s not warm, ball will not swing much.

However the pitch might have something in it at least first 10 overs. Fast bowlers need to pitch it full length.
 
Might not be such a bad toss to lose. Their will be something in the pitch and condition for swing bowling
get few early out and try to have a crack at kane early.

Pakistan has to win matches chasing someday. maybe today ..
 
So who's going to be Inzamam for today? Haris? Babar? Imam? Imad?!

Inzamam was in 92 semis. In the group game against NZ in 92, Rameez Raja scored a 100 and Wasim took 4 wickets to rip out NZ. So guess Amir and Fakhar can shine today
 
Pakistan almost out of this game. Pak will have to bowl first and make sure they pick up early wickets. Possibly restrict them to 220-240.
 
Afridi playing ridiculous .... whats husnian done wrong ? .... even though team mates with captain ...... captain coward
 
May not be a bad toss to loose... Win or loose... We need to see them fighting till the last ball...
 
come on guys shaheen has high arm action and more experience and just a little adjustment in line and length and he can do well.
 
Jeez...u guys are so pessimistic and -ve....its damp...ball will not come on...the batsmen wil lnot get full value of shots...outfield is damp....bank on MA to nick off the top order....guptil and monro have not exactly set the wc on fire, get kane early....bring on shadab to knock off taylor...i was disappointed not to see hasnain....he could have been a handful....provided the unknown factor.....good luck pak from an indian fan...
 
yeh cheez ......... Insha Allah and we will rock their boat. england beat us 5-0 in odi and so did nz and it is time for payback.

Can't see us getting an early breakthrough, I just don't trust our bowlers with the new ball. But at least it's not Hasan or Wahab opening the bowling, with Shaheen and Amir at least if they pitch it in the right areas ( big IF)they will be a threat.

Don't fancy us to chase much of a total either so we will have to knock them over for 250 or less.

Most they will score is 160, Karma what they did to Srilanka is going to come back. Bad duwa :murali

Get them under 220.

Anything above 220-230 we can't chase.
 
18 March 1992 our match against NZ was also on Wednesday :))
 
Good toss to lose, Pakistan just needs to hold on to their catches and they will win. Should not fear and put their shoulders down.
 
Feels like a massively important toss to lose.

As soon as Kane said bat first, all of my confidence and enthusiasm drained...

Tension par gay yaar. Tension tension.
