New Zealand vs Sri Lanka | Group A | Mumbai |18/03/2011

[Afridi_Fan]

ok so on 2nd april.. the strategy is to win the toss and bat

Already noted.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Heavy defeat for kiwis could mean damage to their NRR!

Which would be excellent.

 

[Strike!]

Murali running.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why is everyone here supporting Kiwis here?

If Pak loses to Aus tomorrow, they will most likely play Saffers in QF's. Probably the toughest opponent that Pak can think off...

Who is supporting Kiwis? And who is thinking that Australia will beat us?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

SL will beat NZ, then we can end up either #1 or #4. We MUST win against AUS.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100/5 in 23.

be optimistic ... why do u rate those minnows so high ..huh?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now Sanga complaining about the ball. :swann

 

[Afridi_Fan]

SL will beat NZ, then we can end up either #1 or #4. We MUST win against AUS.

We are already in QF, so it isn't a MUST. But just for your happiness, we will.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

strikes

 

[Munna]

the magiciannn !!!

 

[Strike!]

Murali.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

All of a sudden Styris looked like a 90 years old Granny.

 

[Munna]

styris on the crease now ...
now lets see how useless he is!

hez a lot more useless than i expected earlier

 

[90MPH]

Like I said earlier NZ are getting bogged down by the spin of the 2 ms.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nathan comes in.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

103/6 in 24.

 

[jasimisbest2]

This is exactly what New Zealand is!!!!

PAKISTAN lost the game to them because of there own stupid fielding and keeper!!

Anyway NEW ZEALAND lose today to SRI LANKA and we win agaisnt AUSTRALLIA we will finish top and face WestIndies/Bang or ENGLAND... dont mind any of them.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAAD!

 

[mithun_minhas]

SL will beat NZ, then we can end up either #1 or #4. We MUST win against AUS.

Thats the problem...

Pak's final match is against Aus. They are all hardcore battle tested players... Not easy to beat them..

Looks like if Pak wins, then they will probably play Windies. Otherwise, they will play Saffers... (Assuming India beats Windies)

If Pak wins against Aus and India loses to Windies, then Pak could end up playing England in QF's...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

We are already in QF, so it isn't a MUST. But just for your happiness, we will.

I know but we should end up #1 rather than #4. Either case, I don't care. has no fear

Pakistan beating Australia.

BD beating SA.

WI beating India.

Pakistan Vs India in QF.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Sri Lanka 265/9 (50 ov)

New Zealand 106/6 (25.0 ov)

New Zealand require another 160 runs with 4 wickets and 25.0 overs remaining
.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Murali master class!

Really think we need to beat Aussies tomorrow to have a chance off an easier 1/4 final tie!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged

 

[Munna]

Pakistan beating Australia.

BD beating SA.

WI beating India.

Pakistan Vs India in QF.

shoaib uprooting the stumps of sachin & sehwag in the 1st over!

india gets knocked out .. pakistan wins ..

we win the WC without playing Semis and Final ..

ICC World Cup 2011 .. the bestest ever!!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

112/6 in 26.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

what should I say now?

 

[Phuzz]

If NZ's rr takes a big beating we could go above them on run rate, but it wouldn't really matter because our rr would go down if we lose to the ausses?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What reflexes.

 

[Munna]

oh ... the craftsman takes a wicket

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Drinks.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Good. SL look set to win. Now we only have to win against AUS tomorrow and we will top the group.

[No_Username]

Come on Sri Lanka, destroy NZ's net run rate so that Pakistan will be atleast 3rd.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pakistan beating Australia.

BD beating SA.

WI beating India.

Pakistan Vs India in QF.

Highly improbable...

I will stop posting if all the 3 happen...

only

Don't know why but I think we'll beat AUS tomorrow.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Loadshedding time in Mumbai. )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Don't know why but I think we'll beat AUS tomorrow.

You are not alone mate.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good fielding by Lasith.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

119/7 in 28.

 

[Maula Jutt]

You are not alone mate.

Good. Because from what I've observed, our team is quite focussed on that game, even though we've already qualified for the QFs. We all know our team rarely focusses together on anything, but whenever they do, they always get the results. I am counting on that.

 

[Munna]

bring malinga in .. and bowl them out! provide us some short entertainment

 

[pakcricketfan]

Don't know why but I think we'll beat AUS tomorrow.

Same here!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Feminine 6th sense, eh PCF?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Don't know why but I think Nz will win

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Required RR over 7 now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Don't know why but I think Nz will win

Good for you mate.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

123/7 in 30.

 

[khurramjamil]

NZ will not win here now ... and Pakistan should beat the Aussies tomorrow ... otherwise we will meet either SA or India in the knockouts

 

[No_Username]

Don't know why but I think Nz will win

Please stop thinking

 

[Maula Jutt]

Don't know why but I think Nz will win

I don't know how to break this to you...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

again

 

[Munna]

is he really injured or is he faking it like akhtar?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Don't know why but I think Nz will win

They are still winning it?

 

[Maula Jutt]

So we got beaten by NZ who are about to be beaten by SL who were beaten by us. So.... what does this mean?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

can this loss bring NZ run rate down below us?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

So we got beaten by NZ who are about to be beaten by SL who we beat. So.... what does this mean?

that we all suck

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

I don't know how to break this to you...

Please stop thinking

Good for you mate.

Yeah seriously, I was watching match and some random thoughts came to my mind that MCullum will the first one to fall guptil second and ryder third lol but now as 8th wicket have fallen I assume that those thoughts were really random.

Srilanka for the win

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

They are still winning it?

Watch out . Southee is there

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on sri lanka wrap this up asap!

 

[iHammad]

Now if Pakistan beat SL tomorrow, then we can top our group, inshallah.

 

[Maula Jutt]

that we all suck

Not exactly the answer I was looking for... but maybe the right one.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

now if pakistan beat sl tomorrow, then we can top our group, inshallah.

sl?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

The match is not over yet.

 

[Munna]

tony greg is really making a valid point here ...
due factor is a big prob for teams batting 2nd in this season and on these grounds

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Review.

 

[Munna]

reviewed!!

 

[Khabri420]

Pretty one-sided game this has been. NZ have really struggled against Murali. Come on Murali finish it off, can he get another 5fer?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

is it out?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thats

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The match is not over yet.

It seems to be heading that way though.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

It seems to be heading that way though.

Yeah

 

[Afridi_Fan]

As I said earlier, don't question Pakistani umpires. Its a waste of the review.

 

[TalhaSyed]

How many does NZ need to loose by for thier NRR to drop below ours?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

144/9 in 34.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Srilanka is winning so easily? We won a close match against Srilanka.........We lost badly to Newzealand.....What's the logic? I guess Malinga and Mendis?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

How many does NZ need to loose by for thier NRR to drop below ours?

Its not on NRR anymore. Win tomorrow and finish 1st, lose and finish 4th.
