Must win for Pakistan, if nz beat them we can breathe easy knowing we will most probably beat Aussie and bangladesh.
A very critical game for this group.
 
Pakistan has always had a good record against New Zealand in world events, so hopefully the same trend continues. We need to win and maybe by a good margin to improve the net run rate. Have a feeling we will have to wait till the last game of the group to see which teams qualify for the semis.
 
I knew bcci would frigging do this. What a joke of a tournament when one board is dictating all the pitches...
 
Till this game, Pakistan's fate is in their own hands... If we secure a win tonight, we can even go to the top of the table.

On the other hand, losing will bring all the calculators out, and everyone praying Bangladesh to hand India/NZ an upset...
 
Pakistan Vs New Zealand.
Whenever Pakistan are faced with a do or die situation and know they MUST perform and WIN. Then they always come out all guns blazing with a team you should be feared of.
BUT this time. with all this media rubbish and PCB chairman disrupting proceedings with his mumbo jumbo. It all depends on how the team react. Whether they choose to ignore and play with a clean mind and perform for their nation and its fans OR do the total opposite and implode, and end their tournament in misery.
Whatever the outcome, We will always support our team and believe they will come good as its crunch time now, no excuses, no mistakes, no pitch-misreadings, no miscalculations, must get all the basics right and get the selection, batting, bowling combinations right too.
Come on PAKISTAN!!!
 
Probably the most critical game of this group. India and Australia will definitely be watching this game.

If we win, we have a very strong chance of topping the group because of our healthy NRR.

I already warned everyone. This Thakur is a snake. What the hell kind of a pitch is this. I can understand a bit of grass to hold the surface but this is outrageous. Even Kiwis won't have a similar surface in LOIs in their country.
 
Wahab should play here. It is his kind of wicket. And he hasn't been as bad as people have been making him out to be.

Still is our best pacer behind Amir.
 
There is always something wrong when Pakistan play honestly!
 
Saazish hai! Yahooodi Saazish against Pakistan, green mambas for us and German autobahn for rest!
 
Bat first and score 120. Kiwis are masters at strangling the opponents during a chase and should not bat first.
 
It appears to me the grass is to hold the pitch for a few days and will be shaved off for Ind vs AUS game.
 
hahha Logic of this wicker ICC ?? is it sporting or in favor of one sides home conditions.

Wasim saying it is not hard grass, the new ball will swing but after that ball will come nicely to the bat. No turn here he says.
 
Is BCCI the one who makes pitches or ICC?

Apparently Atkinson the curator for ICC games was sick before the WC. He assigned the responsibility to some Indian guy who in turn assigned it to local Indian curators. Heard this in the Pakistani program where Javed is the guest

wasim also completely misread the kolkatta pitch where he was worked for the past 4 years
 
Let's hope we win the toss and bowl first, and bowl them out below 100 :))

Even if we somehow win the toss and bowl then for a partly score, trust our batsmen to bottle it like there is no tomorrow. A win here would be as miraculous as that Sharjah Magrib chase against SL. At least we had a sane head in Misbah when we needed to do the impossible - who have we here; BOOM BOOM BUBBLE GUM :facepalm:
 
Bowl first please. Let the opposition set the score. Anything 180 or under is easily chase-able with sensible batting.
 
NZ batting first but theyre playing the same team. No Boult and Southee on this pitch
 
"Alot of people are here from Kashmir", im kashmiri but i dont think its the right thing to say in India. :-)
 
Imagine nz winning it all without the services of boult and southee, what an accomplishment thatd be
 
This Pitch would be flat with some assistance for the pacers in the initial overs .. Ball would easily come onto the bat
 
This ain't a green mamba...the grass to hold pitch expect it to be Phatta
