What's new

NZ (167/5) storm into the Final of the ICC T20 World Cup with a 5 wicket win over England (166/4)

I feel like Kiwis are playing one bowler too many. They opted for 5 frontline bowlers on top of 2 good part-timers.
 
Backing NZ here....they need the inform Moeen Ali's wicket quickly...he's the only guy in Eng team who can attack spin
 
I think dropping Malan's catch can be a good thing. He bats slower than other batsmen.
 
Gatting’s reverse sweep to Border in 87 World cup final changed the course of match

Buttler’s reverse sweep reminds me of 1987.
 
where is that famed ultra aggressive English batting? again ******** in their pants due to the pressure of occasion. It's one thing to bash useless bowlers in bilaterals and other to do it here.
 
I am surprised that Philips is bowling when New Zealand are playing 5 frontline bowlers (along with 2 really good part-timers).

He is leaking runs. 10 from the over already.
 
Very interesting situation after 11 overs. England’s middle order will be tested against the New Zealand squeeze on a big ground. We’ll find out if England can cope after Buttler goes early. Malan threatening to do just that and Livingstone still to come.
 
England are so good. Roy isn't, and you get Buttler and Bairstow but still find yourself under the pump.

Rooting for them to meet Pak in the Final.
 
posters already writing england off lol, this isnt a 180-200 pitch, this is also a semi final of a world cup , pressure comes with runs on the board. 160 should be a match winning total
 
Bond and Lockie.

Would have been awesome to see them bowl in tandem.
 
Pakistani fans hoping for NZ to get into finals as it makes things a little easiee for them.
 
Eng have managed to recover after Butler's loss....160 could be tough to chase
 
Pakistani fans hoping for NZ to get into finals as it makes things a little easiee for them.

Not really....Pak has always got the better of Eng in ICC events....beat them even in 2019WC and 2017 CT
 
Everybody expecting Eng vs Pak final.... could very well be a Aus vs NZ final.
 
New Zealand would probably need Guptill to give them a good start.

This England onslaught seems inevitable.

Already getting 10ish without going hard.
 
Looks like Moeen will try to play the anchor role and let Malan, Livingstone, Morgan etc go hard the other end.

170 would be a very strong total and with wickets in hand they should get there.
 
Need 2-3 really good overs now.

England are getting 10 an over way too easily.
 
I am still scratching my head how England lost to South Africa.

NZ game to lose now... they have an iron grip on it. Need to bat sensibly.
 
This game is now 50-50. No side have run away with the game.

Should be an entertaining 2nd innings.
 
Minimum 160 needed for England.

Moeen looking good.
 
England haven't done much and are easily going to get 170 here lol
 
Morgan may not get to bat.

I feel England made a blunder by not sending in Morgan earlier.
 
No demons in the pitch but don't think we have the firepower to chase this in a KO game.
 
Santner bowled just one over today!

1-0-8-0.

Confusing captaincy from Williamson. He gave Boult 4 overs who went for 40 runs. Santner should've bowled more.
