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

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Not now .there is enough for seamers

I know just saying spinners will be key after power play

 

[watson367]

Great start!

 

[saeed5646]

This is it now, Pakistan need to run through the rest!

Taylor and kane say hi .the real work starts now

 

[BlueBeamer]

Go Shaheen...Knew my boy would do something special today.

Just need Kane's wicket to trigger a collapse.

 

[Fahdi]

Well done by Shaheen!

Good to have Harris in the slips, he isn't the most agile but his hands are secure

 

[Aman]

Munro game is to play aggressively whenever he tries to play like a proper batsman he struggles.

You would be more useful for us than him, the guy never scores runs.

 

[Titan24]

Atlast caught something when mattered

 

[Rana]

When was the last time New Zealand faced Pakistan in such a high stakes match, with a crowed 95% pakistani?

 

[Asif321]

That’s why Shaheen is good against kiwis

 

[WebGuru]

We shouldn't allow Taylor and Williamson to build a partnership...

 

[BleedGreen]

Need taylor and kw out early

 

[sindhiboy]

Williamson and Taylor are the only players who can bat in nz team it seems

 

[Aman]

When was the last time New Zealand faced Pakistan in such a high stakes match, with a crowed 95% pakistani?

This isn't a high stakes match...

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

What a start - this is crucial must get these two

 

[saeed5646]

Crowd is awesome .they are putting alot of pressure on nz batters

 

[Titan24]

You would be more useful for us than him, the guy never scores runs.

Lol! Yeah atleast I will try to get better after playing decent amount of cricket

 

[Gilly]

Amir v Aussie umpire round 2

Two convicts head to head lol

 

[Aman]

With Guptill out of form and Munro in the team, Kane and Taylor have essentially been opening for us.

 

[Titan24]

NZ two best batsmen on the crease, if somehow we can get them before 20-30 overs

 

[saeed5646]

Shaheen have fond memories against nz .he is looking confident

 

[Green Patriot]

Wicket maiden by Shaheen

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant wicket maiden

 

[cricketfan11]

Barring Williamson, NZ batsmen will struggle against spin, especially on this pitch where ball has shown some grip.

Pakistan must introduced Imad and Shadad sooner rather than later especially when NZ under pressure now.

 

[BleedGreen]

Amir come on

 

[Aman]

Munro was in the team to give us fast starts, all he does is end up putting pressure on Williamson and Taylor to score.

Why Nicols hasn't come into the side to give some stability is astonishing.

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Wow!
The noise that the crowd are making is wonderful!!

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen is finding his confidence back at a good time

 

[topspin]

This is the difference between a 5 ft 7 Hasan Ali and Shaheen who is almost a foot taller (6 ft 6) - that bounce will trouble batsmen outside their off-stump.

 

[MMHS]

If PAK can knock one of this pair inside 15 overs, game almost over.

 

[BleedGreen]

Amir offering too much width

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

One more good over and spinners can take it over.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Kane is the man here.Need him desperately

 

[Hasan123]

Amir has not been great today.

 

[BleedGreen]

Another

Amir ko phenty parri hai

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

ok ....... may be next one?

 

[shah_1]

2 fours in a row

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nothing for pacers of the pitch

 

[saeed5646]

Should give respect to kane and put one slip at cover

 

[wrongun]

Williamson dismantling Amir here... No inswing, no real pace... can't challenge Kane with that.

 

[cricketfan11]

Amir vs Kane Williamson is not working - Williamson just too good

 

[Fahdi]

That was one of the most solid and assured cover drives I have ever seen in my entire life.

The second one wasn't too bad as well

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir leaking runs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Amir isn't actually bowling that well, the wicket was a bit lucky to be honest.

 

[Titan24]

Commies asking where is Shadab

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

he never makes a comeback.

 

[BleedGreen]

Amir receiving phainta

 

[ARK Rafay]

New Zealand have plan against Amir and that is to attack him. And so far it's working

 

[Rana]

This isn't a high stakes match...

??

Pakistan are knocked out tonight if they lose

 

[aukhan]

Williamson is so good.

 

[Aman]

Amir isn't actually bowling that well, the wicket was a bit lucky to be honest.

This was the perfect pitch for Guptill to find some form...

 

[AAli98]

Amir is full containment mode, bowling it outside off and back of a length. They should see this spell out

Has to bowl that length the moment he tries to attack he gets taken to the cleaners like the SA lower order did.

 

[DRsohail]

If PAK can knock one of this pair inside 15 overs, game almost over.

This KW guy looks to be in no mood to get out,Have to get taylor out.

 

[topspin]

Poor bowling

 

[Aman]

??

Pakistan are knocked out tonight if they lose

It isn't high stakes for us.

High stakes game to me are KO games, not group stage games.

 

[BleedGreen]

First good ball from amir

 

[Green Patriot]

If Amir bowls well Shaheen leaks runs.
If Shaheen starts to be tight Amir begans to leak runs.

 

[Mamoon]

Amir isn't actually bowling that well, the wicket was a bit lucky to be honest.

Majority of his wickets in this World Cup so far have been lucky.

 

[Titan24]

Pak needs to try something else, Williamson is too assured. Bring spinners in or something

 

[ARK Rafay]

Best test batsman Kane Williamson. For a reason

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Amir is clever.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

anyways ........ not a bad start.

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen got Taylor few times in UAE

 

[DRsohail]

Majority of his wickets in this World Cup so far have been lucky.

Oh my God,,,,,,I wish other bowlers were that lucky.

 

[Gilly]

It isn't high stakes for us.

High stakes game to me are KO games, not group stage games.

Its not a good look if you get smashed by the 7-8th ranked team though. good teams dont go to sleep in any matches.

 

[Rana]

It isn't high stakes for us.

High stakes game to me are KO games, not group stage games.

Lol you will end up facing India in the semis.

goodbye in the semis once again

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need to try Shadab

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bring the spinners on now

 

[Mamoon]

You would think Shadab is Shane Warne with the way the commentators are itching to see him bowl.

 

[CricFan2012]

Kane has nerves of steel

 

[saeed5646]

No offense to amir but he looks tired .

 

[Aman]

We're going to need 280+ this pitch looks really good so far.

 

[Fahdi]

Amir has been taken apart in the most nonchalant manner. He has been very difficult to get away this WC but for Kane it hasn't been a bother

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Majority of his wickets in this World Cup so far have been lucky.

I guess he's making up for all the bad luck with dropped catches since his return from the ban.

 

[JibranAnsari]

shouldnt sarfraz be close to stumps on the return throw?

 

[Mamoon]

Oh my God,,,,,,I wish other bowlers were that lucky.

Amir has been unlucky in the past, so I suppose this is justice.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Shaheen will try his best today.

 

[Titan24]

You would think Shadab is Shane Warne with the way the commentators are itching to see him bowl.

Taylor struggles against spinners if the spinner can get the lengths right

 

[Usman Chadda]

This pitch is as flat as they come. NZ is behind the 8-ball here. They need 300 to effectively shut Pakistan out of this game.

 

[Aman]

Its not a good look if you get smashed by the 7-8th ranked team though. good teams dont go to sleep in any matches.

Everyone knows Pakistan are capable on their day, no shame in losing to them.

 

[saeed5646]

Both batsmen are standing at 1st stump .i wish shaheen have good inswing
