Pakistan v New Zealand | World T20 | Oval | 13/6/09 [PAK Inns]

[MIG]

Easy as pie? Bismillah ....lets get this party started - shall we ?

 

[MIG]

100 to get in 20 overs but what if we do this in 15?

 

[Momo]

Shahzaib need to fire. For future matches.

 

[saqeeb90]

Afridi should start this as opener

 

[MIG]

Shahzaib and Akmal padded up - young guy looking very tense !

 

[Lethal]

Shazaib to open with Kami.

InshaALLAH Pakistan win.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hope they don't take it easy and chase in 18 19 overs.

Come on blaze out and destroy them!

Hope Shahzaib hits big ones.

 

[Phuzz]

its raining in london just as long as it doesnt rain at the oval!

 

[161]

NRR is very important here.

We need to chase this down in15 overs or less !

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak should score this in 9 overs to boost the rr

 

[Lethal]

Mills the opening bowler.

 

[ItsMeK1]

Dil Dil Pakistan can be heard

 

[Afridi_Fan]

nice shot straight to the fielder

 

[Lethal]

Shot by Akmal but straight to the fielder.

Two shots straight to the fielder so far

 

[Oxy]

2 dots

Kami on strike

 

[iZeeshan]

I really hope they go hard at this.

 

[Zeenix]

This is not over yet.. Hopefully for a change Pakistan will knock out these runs with ease

 

[Afridi_Fan]

nice fielding.

 

[Oxy]

Damn - 3 sweetly timed shots find the fielder

 

[Phuzz]

come on pakistan get those runs in quick time

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

3 good shot and not got anything

 

[Oxy]

2 runs - misfield

2-0

 

[Lethal]

2 to Akmal. Off the mark with a clip.

 

[The Slogger]

We need to hunt this total down quickly, for NRR !

 

[Zeenix]

pak off the mark

 

[ahmed16]

Pakistan should look to finish this with overs to spare, there progression into the smei finals is highly likely going to depend on run rate. To be honest, sri lanka dont look like losing any of there matches, so theyre through. But if new zealand beat S lanka then it comes down to run rate for all three teams (sl, nz and pak), If NZ lose against SL, assuming we win here and against ireland, where through on points.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

kiwis doing **** in the field.

2 runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal being a little watchful so far!

**** the damn ball!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak lookin tentative

 

[Oxy]

I have to go out in 30 mins - wont know the result for another 4-5 hours

 

[Zeenix]

The most difficult thing when chasing small totals is to play normally

 

[Zeenix]

out i think..

 

[Phuzz]

5 over throws

 

[Oxy]

More overthrows!

4 of them!

Its PAk's day today!

7-0 off 1

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

7/0

 

[Inswinger]

I hope the batsmen don't become too defensive chasing 100. We need to maintain some level of aggressiveness.

 

[Zeenix]

Oh Good.. Not out + 4 overthrows

 

[Momo]

Overthrows.
)

 

[The Slogger]

[Lethal]

7-0 after 1 over.

Franklin to bowl

 

[Sparhawk]

I really want to see Fawad promoted up the order, our middle order needs some more energy. Misbah is either very exciting or hes like Kumble in the commentary box.. Alam is busy.

 

[Zaad]

need to finish this game by 12 overs!

 

[ahmed16]

Lets see Shahzaib, what is all the hype about?

[ItsMeK1]

[Lethal]

Shazaib must be nervous - yet to face a ball

 

[Zeenix]

The new zealanders look quite angry

 

[Phuzz]

why they didnt send afridi in as opener is beyond me

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 9-0 off 1.5 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

Lets see Shahzaib, what is all the hype about?

First time i'm seeing him. I blinked and missed his innings the last time he batted.

 

[Zeenix]

Shahzaib i heard is very good pinch hiter

 

[Oxy]

When is it appropriate to start panicking?

 

[MIG]

I really want to see Fawad promoted up the order, our middle order needs some more energy. Misbah is either very exciting or hes like Kumble in the commentary box.. Alam is busy.

Just Razzaq playing and Shahzaib in is enough changes for one day !!

 

[Mansoor_Ahmed]
