1 wicket left to get! Can murali get 5-for?

 

[SuperSportsCom]

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

NZ aisi hi team hai. We made them look good.

 

[TalhaSyed]

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

Cool man thanks

 

[Afridi_Fan]

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?

Listen to me, don't find any logic in cricket. Life will get easy for you.

 

[khurramjamil]

Better to finish 1st, 2nd or 4rth ... not to finish 3rd ...... if we finish 3rd we will meet India in the KO for sure ....

 

[pakcricketfan]

Feminine 6th sense, eh PCF?

I don't know what sense this is.. but I also had a feeling that Pak will lose to NZ!

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

So win tomorrow and we are likely to play Bangla/West indies

Lose and probably it will be S.A!

Tomorrow is must win!

I still can't believe we lost to this lulloo team. We should have smashed them if it wasn't for Kamran.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like some last min cowlashing from Oram here!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Straight throw him.

 

[Munna]

wat if bangladesh and WI both win their matches .. they might finish on top of that group

 

[SuperSportsCom]

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

[Afridi_Fan]

Bennett to face.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bouncer.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bowled him.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I still can't believe we lost to this lulloo team. We should have smashed them if it wasn't for Kamran.

Yeah well only takes one lulloo on our team to cause mayhem and a loss!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

SL win by 112 runs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

SL certain to finish 2nd now.

[Sherazkhalid]

We can now only be 1st or 4th, all hinges on tomorrow's game.

SL certain to finish 2nd now.

SL will be second. We will be either 1st or last, there is no in between now.

 

[buddhika_s]

murali and oram seem to be good friends

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

No, If Pakistan loses then it will have the same points as New Zealand. So NRR can make a little difference. It will decide whether Pakistan will be 3rd of 4th if it looses to Australia.

EDIT: Just checked the point table, you are correct Afridi_Fan

 

[farsiddiqui]

If we lose tomorrow, it is all but certain that we will face South Africa in the QF; Remote possibility of playing India if SAF chokes against Banladesh.

If we win, it will most likely be West Indies. 2nd possibility is England. Remotest possibility is Bangladesh.

No, If Pakistan loses then it will have the same points as New Zealand. So NRR can make a little difference. It will decide whether Pakistan will be 3rd of 4th if it looses to Australia.

If we lose, there is no way we are improving on our NRR. New Zealand is already way ahead of us.

 

[Amir]

Pakistan can still finish 3rd. There is a forecast of rain. A wash out means we will finish above NZ.
