Pakistan v New Zealand | ICC World T20 Super8: Match 5 | Bridgetown | 5/8/10| Pak Inn

[Momo]

NZ 133

Pak needs 134.

 

[Momo]

53 dot balls in NZ innings. Well done Afridi Markhors!

 

[Saj]

Lets attack from the start.

No need to go into their shells just because its a relatively low total.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

The run to glory has started again vs NZ.

WE ARE PAKISTAN! WE ARE HERE TO WIN!

 

[Momo]

I must say Hafeez is light years ahead of other Pakistanis in terms of expressing himself. Butt speaks okay but then he is no Markhor, technically speaking.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Hafeez saying that "we worked hard but not on the field"

Parathey khanaa kaam kar gaya :

 

[Sledger]

I think it will be a close game. This isn't an easy total and Bond is one of the best new ball bowlers going.

 

[P4K1 #1]

should be a easy chase for pakistan... but dont count kiwis out.. a few quick wickets from bond.. were screwed..

 

[Momo]

Lets attack from the start.

No need to go into their shells just because its a relatively low total.

That's a very important point. The only mistake that will lose them this match is saying, "Oh it's only 133."

Play your strokes, as you would normally play them.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If we get 80+ in first 10 then we should try to get this in 15-17 overs.

 

[cricket_fever]

i am nervous.................remember this is pakistan

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

We should chase this in 13 overs to better our run rate up.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Hafeez: I hope our batters don't take the pressure when chasing this total.

 

[Pakipride19]

i am nervous.................remember this is pakistan

Exactly..

 

[kingusama92]

We should chase this in 13 overs to better our run rate up.

Lets just chase it down period.

They can think about NRR when they are closer to the target not right now.

 

[Strike!]

Let's just hope for a strong start and not a batting collapse like we've seen from so many teams on this ground.

 

[Momo]

I must say Abdul Rehman's celebration of McCullum wicket was quite obscene.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

If Pakistan can't chase 133 than we don't deserve to be in the semis. Any team that can't chase 133 in a world cup match, can't expect to qualify for the next round.

 

[Sledger]

Forget the NRR, winning will exceed my expectations.

 

[kingusama92]

I must say Abdul Rehman's celebration of McCullum wicket was quite obscene.

Ray-man rules.

 

[Momo]

Yes, trying to be clever will bite them where they won't like it. Just go out there and chase 133.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Lets just chase it down period.

They can think about NRR when they are closer to the target not right now.

Yeah but for once we should show the world what we're made of...

Play with aggression and score 10 runs per over...

lets show Australia, South Africa and India by chasing this score of 134 in 13 overs that we're not here to make up the numbers!

 

[Boi]

Come on boys. We can do this.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

After giving flack all these months to Butt I at least have to acknowledge Rehman was an inspired choice.
Most people were saying we need a new left arm bowler as a good luck charm.
Maybe he will turn out to be the one.

 

[UP]

Superb effort in bowling and fielding.

Well Done Pakistan so far!

 

[taaveez]

Lets just chase it down period.

They can think about NRR when they are closer to the target not right now.

They need to grab this opportunity with both hands. Though I agree we should first secure the match -- say 90 from 12 overs, and then the next 45 from 2 overs. But, the key is to take advantage of the powerplay.

NRR is going to be VERY important in getting through.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

We should chase this in 13 overs to better our run rate up.

lets just hope Pakistan are able to chase this.

 

[kingusama92]

Yeah but for once we should show the world what we're made of...

lets show Australia, South Africa and India by chasing this score of 134 in 13 overs that we're not here to make up the numbers!

All we'll end up showing the world is how we collapse.

 

[Atif]

Need to attack from the start and have a decent run rate by the end of the game.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Knight and Atherton: this total will be tricky for Pakistan.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

All we'll end up showing the world is how we collapse.

hahaha yeah

[Seen Sheen]

Play Bond cautiously and go after the other pacers..Vettori wouldnt be a problem.. would take care of him..

 

[lakha84]

inshallah we will win

 

[cricket_fever]

hope our openers put upa strong stand

 

[cricket_fever]

inshallah we will win

aameen

 

[chui_kadoo]

the key will be too keep wickets in hand and please no wreckless shots

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Playing normal cricket we should get it in 17 if we don't lose wkts at the start.

 

[Sledger]

There was a bit of swing with the new ball. If Bond can bend a few back to Butt, expect a bowled or lb.

 

[Da Best]

Pakistani batsmen do tend to get out to left hand spinners quite often..... good luck.

 

[sehban]

Start is extremely important + batting looks weak without fawad, even though he hasnt done much throughout the tournament

Afridi, Razzaq both in poor form

 

[Seen Sheen]

The Opening Markhors are in the middle..:akmal,..

 

[chui_kadoo]

I hope its not a nervous run chase and we make it comfortably

 

[The Slogger]

attack their queen, bond, and they will be under pressure.

 

[chui_kadoo]

need to play bond sensibly

 

[Strike!]

Here we go, First ball.

 

[taaveez]

Thing is we are finishing our games ahead of the others, so we can't plan our run rates. We have to be preemptive.

 

[The Slogger]

my oh my hes swinging it like waqar younis

 

[Seen Sheen]

Some swing for bond..

 

[imshally81]

some swing for James bond

 

[Sledger]

Swing is there.

 

[The Slogger]

2 runs, poor cut

 

[mrk]

swing hmmm

and 2nd ball almost catch.

good luck

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

2 runs...

40 runs in 4 over will kill NZ's spirit!

 

[The Slogger]

bond is really swinging it

 

[pak4life]

We have a long tail top 4 need to deliver

 

[mrk]

nice bowing. and look out for short ball

 

[ZAK]

1 to Kamran

 

[imshally81]

my oh my hes swinging it like waqar younis

don't overrate him

 

[chui_kadoo]

the ball is swinging

 

[Sparhawk]

Thats some dangerous inswing from Bond

 

[Cheguvera]

Let's see Butt saab against Bond...

 

[Sledger]

Not smart to cut so early with the swing coming back in.

 

[Cheguvera]

Almost had him...

 

[imshally81]

1 run to butt

 

[chui_kadoo]

bond bowling really well

 

[TalhaSyed]

well dug out by butt for a single

 

[The Slogger]

good bowl well played

 

[ZAK]

1 to SB

 

[Sledger]

Butt was late on it.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bond is looking to pick up wkts,thats where he's very dangerous..

 

[Sparhawk]

Very impressive first over from Bond. We're lucky not to have lost a wicket

 

[chui_kadoo]

only 4 off the first over

 

[Atif]

Looks abit dark out there

 

[ZAK]

Well fielded

 

[The Slogger]

we played bond well

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

4/0

 

[Sledger]

Might have to see off Bond for at least another over. Get this ball's shine off.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

need a 16 run over to have a run rate of 10

 

[chui_kadoo]

kyle mills to bowl

 

[Seen Sheen]

Andy Murray will share the new ball..
