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

[topspin]

Not for long. This is insufferable.

No it's not, this is your team!!!

 

[Hasan123]

Don't see Kiwi low order lasting against spin here.

 

[Madplayer]

Bowl them out for 100. I dont want a thrilling match. I want one sided win for Pak. Come onnnn

 

[UP]

Sarfraz taking the catch of his career. Won’t use the F word but I can’t help myself either.

No issue, le lo tissue

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Go Pakistan Go ...... Dil Dil Pakistan

 

[Asif321]

Shabash boys keep the pressure

 

[BleedGreen]

Should have continued with pace to apply pressure.

 

[Titan24]

Cant get relaxed need to keep on taking wickets

 

[Roadie]

I am hoping it will be 160!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Shaheen has become so predictable. Shocking fall from grace in only a few months. His figures look decent in this game, but he doesn’t look threatening at all.

Don't know if you are even watching the game, but I said before the wicket that Shaheen looked far the more threatening bowler of the two pacers.

 

[WebGuru]

Also a better batsman.

Buttle is a far better batsman thn Sarfraz there is no doubt about that he just need to stop his habit of disappearing when he is needed most and thn showing up how good he is in JAMODIS.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Sarfraz taking the catch of his career. Won’t use the F word but I can’t help myself either.

Lol yep, i was thinking the same. Def the catch of his career

 

[ManFan]

Show them no mercy!

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez can't run

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez is so slow across the ground. What the hell has happened to his legs

 

[Aman]

If we don't get our act together, it would be better if we are knocked out. We're not going to be competition for Aus or India in this state.

Guptill, Munro, Latham and Neesham contributing nothing to the batting.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Say Thanks to KW and Taylor

and the rain out game vs ind

 

[aukhan]

Imad releasing all the pressure.

This javelin thrower should have been dropped.

 

[Fahdi]

Hafeez is so slow.... Gave an extra run

 

[BleedGreen]

Shaheen come on

 

[saeed5646]

I am hoping it will be 160!

Atleast go by script

166 allout in 1992 worldcup

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

taylors wicket was a really good ball.

 

[Rana]

Hafeez unfitness leaking an extra 2 runs

 

[Hasan123]

Latham is still a good player. Need to keep on getting wickets .

 

[aukhan]

Poor bowling as usual. There is a reason why he averages 40+ with the ball.

 

[Asif321]

Great decision to stick with Afridi for today

 

[Titan24]

Shadab is more of a wicket taking option than Imad I think, he should be bowling now

 

[Roadie]

Atleast go by script

166 allout in 1992 worldcup

AHHH. Ok, 166 then for the superstitious!

 

[fight_club]

Shaheen has outbowled Amir here, Fantastic line and length with some pace you beauty shaheen

Get Shahdab on go for a kill

 

[theariezman]

Go get Kane

 

[Sycamore]

This is where you need to go in for kill, bring shadab on. How many wickets has Imad taken this WC???

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Half our batting line up is out of form and somehow we're in the Semis.

You have to give some credit to the British weather for that.

 

[Gilly]

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

Its not about Pakistan, are NZ contenders or pretenders. Already having an excuse for losing tells me pretenders.

 

[Mueez]

Great decision to stick with Afridi for today

Told ya.

We were discussing if he should.

Glad it has paid off.

 

[BleedGreen]

Atmosphere is electrifying

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

nerves calming down a bit.

 

[saeed5646]

Poor bowling as usual. There is a reason why he averages 40+ with the ball.

Exactly not smart move from sarfraz

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen is very good against lefties

 

[Roadie]

Its not about Pakistan, are NZ contenders or pretenders. Already having an excuse for losing tells me pretenders.

When always Pakistan beats any team, the other team has excuses!!

 

[Aman]

Its not about Pakistan, are NZ contenders or pretenders. Already having an excuse for losing tells me pretenders.

Half our side can't score double digits )

It's an accomplishment they're somehow in the SF mix.

 

[light]

Get Williamson. Come on lads!

 

[Green Patriot]

This catch must have given Sarfaraz a lot of confidence in his ability.

 

[theariezman]

What a line Afridi...keep rolling

 

[Asif321]

No need to relax we should make sure we not chasing more than 200 here

 

[DRsohail]

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

He did not bowl well in the past.I do not believe in luck like things for so long,Can be for a amtch or two but not for 5,6 matches and that too in WC.

 

[bluevision]

Does NZ bat deep?

 

[pak4life]

I would have another strike bowler at the other end to keep pressure on Latham not Imad.

 

[BleedGreen]

2 more wickets needed come on

 

[Aman]

Does NZ bat deep?

None of them are in form/reliable.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen bowling his heart out today!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

If Pakistan chases the target within 20 overs will it improve the NRR

 

[saeed5646]

So gutted I am not in Edgbaston today, Leeds on Saturday though!!!! Come on PAK

Oh too bad

Atmosphere is like Pakistan. Amazing support for Pakistan

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen will have ups and downs. We need to keep faith with him.

 

[AdamM97]

Amir back in form, Shaheen looks like he’s back to normal, Now if Hassan Ali finds some form as well.

 

[Mueez]

I would give Amir another over after that Wahab should replace him.

 

[theariezman]

I would have another strike bowler at the other end to keep pressure on Latham not Imad.

Lets see who is gonna bowl next.

 

[BleedGreen]

Maiden. Wahh shaheen level tera

 

[aukhan]

Exactly not smart move from sarfraz

It should have been shadab bowling at them.

 

[Aman]

Only have yourself to blame when you keep players like Munro around.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Another good over by Shaheen.He is back in form hopefully

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan have bowled only 6 balls where New Zealand's batsmen haven't been in control, but they have picked up three wickets. In the entire tournament so far, the average in the first 10 overs is 14 not-in-control balls per wicket --- cRICINFO

Wicket is not difficult, yes a bit slow but not where you should loose 3 inside 10 overs

 

[Green Patriot]

2nd maiden by Shaheen.
Incredible bowling.

 

[Grunge101]

Just one more wicket...Williamson..putting my money on shadab

 

[theariezman]

Amir back in form, Shaheen looks like he’s back to normal, Now if Hassan Ali finds some form as well.

A dream comes true.

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez on.

 

[BleedGreen]

Hafeez now

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Keep them under 200

 

[DRsohail]

Never try to discourage young fast bowlers with potential like Shaheen.

 

[AdamM97]

Only have yourself to blame when you keep players like Munro around.

Munro, like KL Rahul is only good in T20. This is why we should never pick anyone for ODI’s based on PSL performances and should prioritize List A cricket.

 

[Aman]

These two have to put on a 100 to get back in this.

 

[Rana]

So Shaheen debuted in the modern batting era and has an average of @10 against a batting powerhouse like New Zealand.

That is special!

 

[yasir]

Immad has bowled horrible over, he is darting even harder on this wicket

Today, more than ever we will feel the need for frontline spinners, NZ could be 150 all out like in 1992, then Mushi was key destroyer. Today, we don't have that kind of spinner. All eyes on Shadab... Not investing is spinner really hurts

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Just loving this passion from Pakistan team. England were looking scared yesterday. Could be the critical difference between these teams when it comes to qualifying!

 

[Aman]

Munro, like KL Rahul is only good in T20. This is why we should never pick anyone for ODI’s based on PSL performances and should prioritize List A cricket.

Munro averages 26 after 50 games...

 

[Titan24]

So Shaheen debuted in the modern batting era and has an average of @10 against a batting powerhouse like New Zealand.

That is special!

And number of experts say that he is just ordinary at 19 years of age

 

[Asif321]

Akmal dropped Taylor and we paid big time for it in 2011

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez has changed his action

Back to old days

 

[Hasan123]

Good over. Need to keep it tight. That will force mistakes.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Give Shaheen another over

 

[szundercover]

Shadab will get latham.
