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

[Aman]

I believe Southee can hit big. Why not send him in after this wicket?

Send in Santner or Southee as pinch hitters.

 

[Syed1]

Send in Santner or Southee as pinch hitters.

Take the game deep.... but for that need ATLEAST 8 rpo for the next 5.

 

[sweep_shot]

Moeen Ali hasn't bowled today. Interesting.

He was opening the bowling during Super 12 stage.

 

[Aman]

Mitchell's timing has been off today.

 

[Aman]

What a shot from Conway.

Upper cut 6.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

New Zealand need a few more sixes.

 

[shariqnoor]

Have been saying that there's no place in this NZ T20 team for Williamson ever since they found Conway. Conway can easily play the anchor role of Williamson while having an upside on hitting ability as well. NZ should look to include another power player in the team in place of Williamson.

 

[sweep_shot]

94 runs are needed from 9 overs.

They need a six from every over.

 

[Ab Fan]

For Conway, they should give Moeen a go. Mitchell is struggling and Conway is dangerous man. Being a left hander, Moeen bhai can bowl a game changing spell here.

 

[Syed1]

Hang on a minute... NZ aren't done yet.


They need to follow up this over with another of 10+

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand need 94 runs in 54 balls.

15 runs off last over , Kiwis need another over like that here

 

[James]

Poor over from Wood. Realise he is 2nd choice to the injured Mills but still am not sure if Mark is the best fit for the IT20 format.

I agree with this.

Since Conway has come into the team, it's made it hard to keep Kane. Both similar except Conway can accelerate.

 

[sweep_shot]

Livingstone is bowling well as a part-timer.

New Zealand should've targeted him.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

92 needed of 51

 

[Aman]

This is a killer over for us.

2 runs off 4...

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This man Conway is a quality cricketer

 

[Justcrazy]

livingston has bowled really well , much beyond expectations

 

[James]

Livingstone doing well.

 

[sweep_shot]

This game reminds me of Namibia-Netherlands game.

Namibia needed around 100 runs from 10 overs. They ended up winning it.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What a four by Conway

 

[shamaan]

England need a wicket

 

[Aman]

Good recovery.

Really need Mitchell to find his timing and hit some boundaries.

 

[sweep_shot]

87 runs are needed from 8 overs.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

87 off 48 is very very doable.

 

[Justcrazy]

Some sixes required here , otherwise it will be too late , they need to take chances here

8 wickets in hand and 8 overs left

 

[Smbhayi]

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

He done well in crunch situations in other formats..

 

[hass]

They really had to make more of that Livingstone over.

 

[Aman]

If we can keep it around 11 an over in the last 5 with wickets, it could be good.

 

[shariqnoor]

Neesham will be the key here. He needs to come good here for NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Still just singles , Poms not giving any boundaries.

 

[Aman]

Man Mitchell's timing isn't there lol.

That should have been 20 rows back.

 

[sweep_shot]

I am a bit surprised Kiwis didn't select Munro.

Munro is good for T20.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

87 needed of 48..
Newzealand can easily manage around 45 in last 4 overs with wickets in hands..
They should score at 10 runs per overs in these 4 overs..

 

[Syed1]

Mitchell needs to hit out or get out.... missing long hops

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol NZ can't even put away halftrackers..

 

[Aman]

Mitchell needs to give Conway some help here.

Can't expect him to do it all.

 

[Inswing]

What a brilliant save.

 

[Aman]

Great save.

Damn, needed that 6.

 

[Abdurmirr]

Brilliant save Jordan

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

what a save from Jordan..
Unreal!!

 

[Smbhayi]

What an effort. Saved six.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Outstanding

 

[Inswing]

Six

 

[Aman]

Massive save for England.

 

[Justcrazy]

Brilliant save by Jordan !! Six runs saved

NO

Its a sixxx

 

[sweep_shot]

75 runs are needed from 7 overs.

8 wickets in hand.

 

[Aman]

Yay 6

Great effort from Jordan.

 

[Inswing]

Brilliant effort thou

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Sixer given

 

[shamaan]

Should be boundary

 

[Aman]

This game is getting tense.

 

[Ab Fan]

Not sure if that was a SIX.

I would get rid of guptill before kane. Guptill is aweful outside NZ

 

[Inswing]

Yay 6

Great effort from Jordan.

How good are the other batsman who will come next?

 

[sweep_shot]

New Zealand are hanging in there.

They need a few big overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis just hanging on here

 

[Aman]

We have to get Livingston here.

C'mon lol.

 

[LegendAli]

How good are the other batsman who will come next?

Neesham.

 

[sindhiboy]

why is livingstone bowling 3 overs instead of moeen

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

England are one wicket away from creating pressure and Mitchell is eager to throw his wicket..

 

[Inswing]

That's the moment. HUGE HUGE wicket.

 

[Aman]

Neesham.

We're in a position where we just need cameos of quickfires.

 

[sindhiboy]

why is livingstone bowling 3 overs instead of moeen

just as i said that he gets conway

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been a good game. Going down to the wire.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis just not up to mark here , Livingston has bowled a great spell here

 

[Aman]

Great knock from Conway.

Need Neesham, Mitchell and Phillips just to hit from here.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Excellent innings by Conway
Quality all format player

 

[IMMY69]

Much needed wicket.

Conway has been a thorn in England's side

 

[sweep_shot]

Conway did his job.

Neesham, Southee, and Santner have to do the job now. They all can hit big.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Damn, the match was getting interesting.
Now it looks like England is way ahead.

 

[octavian]

New Zealand needed Mitchell to go but Conway goes

 

[Aman]

If Mitchell finds his timing..

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Phillips is strong hitter but has underperformed in the world cup..
No hopes from him.

 

[Aman]

Damn, the match was getting interesting.
Now it looks like England is way ahead.

Phillips and Neesham need some time before going.

Not a bad wicket.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

If Mitchell finds his timing..

Phillips is probably your best pinch hitter.

 

[sweep_shot]

70 runs are needed from 6 overs.

7 wickets in hand.

 

[Smbhayi]

why is livingstone bowling 3 overs instead of moeen

Maybe bcs of Mitchell struggling and England don't want to him get out..

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

England's game to lose

 

[sweep_shot]

Livingstone has done well as a part-timer.

3-0-19-1.
