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

[sweep_shot]

England - 155/3 after 19 overs.

 

[Aman]

Good death over all things considered.

 

[Ahmed216]

We haven't bowled well at the death.

So many 6 balls.

They've bowled decently. Not allowed England to run away with it

 

[Saj]

NZ let things slip.

They had things under control but a couple of poor overs, particularly that one from Boult has changed the course of the innings.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Livingstone out. 4 balls to go. 165?

 

[sweep_shot]

Livingstone is out.

156/4.

4 more balls to go.

 

[Aman]

160 in a KO is like 170-175.

Big wicket of livingstone for neesham. Couple of lusty hits could have been game over for NZ

 

[MenInG]

160 in a KO is like 170-175.

[Aman]

Great innings from Moeen.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan and India are the only two teams who could chase this total.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

11 extras so far

 

[Robert]

Thinking this isn’t enough.

 

[Sarwar89]

A Guptill blitz could knock off these runs in 18 overs.

England did not get away with it.
England conceded 189 v South Africa.

Kiwiz have a great chance to knock England out of World Cup.

 

[Aman]

Thinking this isn’t enough.

Pitch is a belter but KO + our lack of batting power.

 

[imshally81]

Still 15 runs short

 

[silentkiller187]

think england have enough runs on the board

 

[sweep_shot]

England - 166/4 after 20 overs.

New Zealand need 167 to win.

 

[Aman]

2 runs gifted but it is what it is.

Could have been worse. Last 2 overs saved us from 170-180.

Need to bat well to chase this.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pitch is a belter but KO + our lack of batting power.

That glenn philips slip on last ball could be an indication of dew.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think New Zealand have done okay considering the firepower England possess. It could've been worse.

167 is a chasable score. They need a good start though.

 

[Robert]

167 to win.

 

[Ab Fan]

I think England have got enough on board. 160+ is a winning score. But this game can go down the wire as they didn't run away with the game here.

 

[drubwrubnat]

One would expect the best fielding side to do better, nicely poised tho

 

[Aman]

That glenn philips slip on last ball could be an indication of dew.

I'm worried about our batting lol.

A good batting team would chase this but it's a KO game and our batting is reliant on our openers up front and not sure about the middle and lower order chasing totals above 140.

 

[Sarwar89]

England are 20 runs short,
New zealand will knock it off with dew to come in

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

A very good opportunity for New Zealand to win this match. Should be exciting.

 

[Aman]

Need Guptill, Mitchell, Neesham and Phillips to fire.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Moeen Ali's dropped catch by the keeper cost NZ quite a bit.

Interesting game now. Lets see if NZ can hold their nerve and don't go crazy in chasing.

They need a good partnership and this game is over.

 

[ARK Rafay]

NZ let things slip.

They had things under control but a couple of poor overs, particularly that one from Boult has changed the course of the innings.

I think they missed the trick by not bowling Neesham and Sodhi in the middle. Left both of those overs for the death.

[DRsohail]

Honestly speaking your battling is not good for these conditions.

 

[Aman]

England's key to victory is getting Guptill in the first 2-3overs, if they get him early the chances of us chasing this would be pretty slim.

 

[shamaan]

I think New Zealand will be fairly happy.i was expecting 170/175.

60/40 New Zealand

 

[bantu]

Par score .. but England bowling is not that great and dew factor ..

 

[sweep_shot]

I think they missed the trick by not bowling Neesham and Sodhi in the middle. Left both of those overs for the death.

Sodhi finished his overs. Santner didn't. Santner bowled just one over.

I agree with you that Neesham and Santner should've bowled more.

Boult shouldn't have bowled 4 overs. He was very expensive.

 

[Aman]

Honestly speaking your battling is not good for these conditions.

It's Kane and Conway at 3 and 4. Too slow in the middle, we need someone more dynamic at 4.

Get someone like Finn Allen and I feel more confident chasing bigger totals.

Kane and Conway is good for 130-140 totals in these conditions, but beyond that it becomes hard.

 

[shamaan]

England are 20 runs short,
New zealand will knock it off with dew to come in

It's not that hot.

 

[Syed1]

Any body remember when Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone were unknown players playing in the PSL, Indian posters used to mock PSL that we get random Englishmen off the street to give credibility to the league.

 

[jattafridi]

Nz should try to score atleast 38/0 in pp

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I think england are 15 runs short. With few coming into play they would have liked 180/185

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis have a big chance here

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Kiwis lose early wicket here

 

[Aman]

Massive wicket.

90% of the game won, going to take a big effort to chase it from here.

[UzmanBeast]

The match doesn't seem like a semi-final. Hardly any supporters making noise.

A bit underwhelming, I must say.

 

[IAJ]

Kane needs to play through here.

 

[silentkiller187]

where did this silly new running graphic come from, looks very amateruish like a 90s video game

 

[mastimasti]

This is going to be tight...just wish Harsha was not commentating. He has a horrible voice and way of describing things. Spoils the show.

 

[mastimasti]

Kane needs to play through here.

He hasn't played a great LO knock in a while and his T20 numbers are not exactly promising. Let's see if he can be the man tonight.

 

[Ashmal]

where did this silly new running graphic come from, looks very amateruish like a 90s video game

True...looks terrible

 

[Aman]

Someone has to play a special innings here to chase it.

 

[Inswing]

Guptill is the hafeez of NZL

 

[asadee]

As always Guptill chokes when it matters

 

[shaz619]

England about 20 short, Mo should have batted at no.3 so he faced more deliveries. It could run close, but you’d have to lean a little towards the NZ and KW’s dynamic captaincy

 

[Kianig89]

Touch and go this SF is atm

 

[Kianig89]

Steve Bruce in action

 

[Kianig89]

England have the upper hand let's see can NZ take advantage of dew

 

[Robert]

Woakieeeeee!

 

[imshally81]

Williamson gone

 

[Kianig89]

There goes the SF

 

[Inswing]

Thats it Congratulations to England. KW OUT

 

[DRsohail]

What is fazul T20 batman this Williamson is.

 

[silentkiller187]

called it at the start of the game 160 more than enough in a ko semi final especially with the bowling england has

 

[Inswing]

England without stokes, ROY and archer still a beast side.

 

[Aman]

Kane is not a T20 player.

 

[IMMY69]

Fantastic

Come on England

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Nz cannot chase now!

 

[sindhiboy]

two bad shots from nz

 

[mastimasti]

He hasn't played a great LO knock in a while and his T20 numbers are not exactly promising. Let's see if he can be the man tonight.

Shot called and fired haha

Williamson has been poor in T20s for a while now. The kiwis will need a heck of an innings from Conway now.

 

[DRsohail]

It's Kane and Conway at 3 and 4. Too slow in the middle, we need someone more dynamic at 4.

Get someone like Finn Allen and I feel more confident chasing bigger totals.

Kane and Conway is good for 130-140 totals in these conditions, but beyond that it becomes hard.

Sorry man as you said Kane is rubbish, very awful batting.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Game over. NZ are a batsman short. Santner coming in at 7 is a joke.

 

[DRsohail]

England wins by 20 runs.

 

[mastimasti]

Also a word on Woakes, post injury, after being kept out of so many England teams, his return has been phenomenal! Good on you lad.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Almost 3 overs gone and one of your opener only face 3 balls? Tells everything

 

[Kianig89]

Not the kind of shot to play at this stage bad luck Kane W

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Kane Williamson despite being a great batsman, rarely scores in crunch situations irrespective of the formats. Disappointing shot to get out.

 

[shah_1]

Kane has flopped in all white ball ICC knock out matches

 

[asadee]

Also a word on Woakes, post injury, after being kept out of so many England teams, his return has been phenomenal! Good on you lad.

Was clobbered by South Africa

 

[Kianig89]

Eng deserved to be the champions let alone finalists
