Third time lucky for New Zealand?

It will be New Zealand vs Pakistan in Finals.

Play the security security game now, no place for anyone to run away!
 
The team has overachieved to make it this far.

Happy with them regardless of the result. They've been great.
 
New Zealand deserve to win the final. This is the greatest generation of New Zealand cricketers of all time and they deserve a LOI trophy to their name.

They have played really good cricket after the underwhelming performance against Pakistan.

Your just hoping and praying they win now, because your beloved india went home in humiliating fashion.

I do not care who wins, I just want to see some good cricket. Although it will be hilarious if New Zealand win the final especially if Pakistan is on the receiving end, considering the amount of abuse and insults Pakistani fans, media, ex-players have hurled at the New Zealand players.

New Zealand is a polite nation so they will not rub it in, but if it was some other team they would really troll Pakistan hard and solve the security issue once and for all.
 
If Aus fail to stop Pak tomorrow, the mythical concept of destiny will kick in and Pak should win their 2nd WC :ssmith
 
NZ bowling & fielding is talented and consistent.
They are natural athletes.
Great display of batting, spin bowling.
Good leadership and initiative today too.
All in all, a class act -
Unless Pakistan do a 1992 all over again.

NZ rightly got abuse after they ran off after receiving fake security intel. You even hear there ex players and commentators been apologetic everytime pakistan is mentioned because everyone knows they made a huge issue out of nothing. Hopefully they will get a good beating in the final.

The players were following the orders of the NZ government. They will do what they are told. Do you expect them to defy the orders of the government and play?

Pakistan should direct the criticism and hatred at the New Zealand government. Chanting “security issue solved” at the players and trolling the fielders on the boundary was pathetic.

If New Zealand wins I hope their fans give Pakistani fans a taste of their own medicine.

I saw some fans with a cringe banner today lol when Eng were batting, think Harsha even commented on that.

Think the Pak fans are overdoing it with the security taunts and barbs at the NZ team.

Completely agree. Obviously, I don't want Pakistan to lose to NZ if we play the final against them, but it would serve the "security security" brigade right. Pakistani fans have been very obnoxious on social media and in the stands. The "security" shouts at such a nice bunch of guys and the match-fixing allegations have somewhat dimmed my enjoyment of the team's performance so far.
 
Previous results in finals and being 'pumped up' will have no say on the result in the final.

Also all this 'NZ are so nice' is a bit over the top chamchagiri.
 
They played well to go to final and may end up winning the trophy.

However, both Australia and Pakistan are better than them on paper.

Let's see what happens.

It really is a cringe and childish trend. That’s no way to win the other side over.
 
wont be lucky against Pakistan. I sense a Pak v NZ final. And I feel we will win comfortably.

It was embarrassing but this is part of sport. The stuff that the Barmy Army has done for Aussie cricketers has been a lot more vindictive and obnoxious.
 
I feel they will want Pak in the final having lost to us in the group match. They would want to avoid the Aussies who mostly do them in crucial matches. NZ are not an overrated and overhyped side like India, they are much better then India without boasting about it.

Yeah it's being taken too far now. And I feel half the people doing it are dragging it on as a pointless joke.

What happened happened, we should move on now.
 
A lot of our fair weather fans have been going way overboard this time just like they were in CT 09 I remember. Please it's for our own betterment if we stop behaving like this. Everyone here in Pak is acting like we are already in the finals.

Plus the Pakistanis calling NZ deserving and the best is the same lot that has been calling Williamson a fake and selfish for years now. :))

On paper, this NZ batting is among the weakest they've fielded since 1999 yet they have batted out of their skins to get here. Regardless of what anyone says this has been a world cup of bowlers. If NZ's bowlers falter in the final regardless of who their opponents are, they won't win.

A lot depends on who they will be facing.
 
Deserved finalist after hardwork of all those years they need to get the monkey of their back that Mccullum brain freeze in 2015 final Williamson already is playing in different era he has the class of IK Clive Lloyd Kapil Dev Border

McCullum and Vettori say hi
