Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 4 | Dunedin | 27/11/09

[fawad_wellwisher]

Less the an hour and a half to go unless it starts early today. Pakistan can still lose this game if the kiwis get the Pak tail out quickly and them post a big total for Pakistan to chase down on the last day.

As history tells us Pakistan can crumble easily on day 5 with a big total to chase.

Should be an interesting 4th days play.

New Zealand 429

Pakistan 307/8 (90.0 ov)

Pakistan trail by 122 runs with 2 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

First we have to hope the tail enders turn up the heat on the Kiwis and add 30-40 more runs before getting out.

After that we have to look at basically running through their lineup. It's a tough ask no doubt about it but our bowlers are good enough to do it. Also, it'll be interesting how they handle Ajmal on a day 4 pitch.

Tail has to put on 50, and we'd have to get NZ all out for 200-250 max by today.

And why can't we do it? I think we can do one better. Get NZ out less than 200

 

[saeed-sohail]

Go pakistan dismiss em for 160 and chase 270 to give us a Eid gift.

 

[iHammad]

Will match start 30 minutes earlier like yesterday?

 

[shabbu1]

Pakistan trailed by 170 runs after the first inns and still won comfortably.

So yes Pakistan should think positive, and give it their all New Zealand bat again, 2 or 3 quick wkts and who knows panic could set in.

 

[mindless slogging]

Go pakistan dismiss em for 160 and Umar Akmal chase 270 to give us a Eid gift.

Fixed.
