Which side will win the match between England and New Zealand at Chester-le-Street?

[saeed5646]

Obviously Pak fans will want nz to win but england are back with strong performance and will start favourite against nz .

So who will win that encounter

 

[blackanhyellow]

In kiwis we trust

 

[ethan hunt]

Toss will decide the game.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Depends if it's a flat pancake like this pitch England. If there is something in it for the seamers then NZ.

 

[Hamza_]

Need Guptil and Munro to go bang bang.

 

[saeed5646]

I still think there is slight chance for nz to sneak through eng top order batting by brilliant spell from boult but for that nz need to win the toss

 

[Swing]

If there's anything in the surface I expect NZ to pull through.

 

[adil79]

England will win. It's pretty straight forward. NZ doesn't have anything which can trouble England. Pitch will be flat. Ground is small. Pakistani team is coming home.

 

[AdamM97]

England is more likely to win but as a Pakistani, i put my hopes on New Zealand.

 

[Ab Fan]

Toss will play major role.

 

[KingKhanWC]

If there's anything in the surface I expect NZ to pull through.

I was listening to Steve Harmisson and he said the ball could swing a lot with a little cloud cover.

Trent Boult could do some serious damage. Eng favs but Im backing NZ , better in pressure situations.

 

[Savak]

NZ has the better bowling attack. Batting is too dependent on Williamson and Taylor. Grandhoime and Neesham blow hot and cold, England desperately needs the win more than NZ so they will be up for it. This is good in the sense that it will make Pakistan even more determined to play hard against Bangladesh.

 

[pakistani pride]

Relax guys

ENG lost vs PAK and SL they can also lose vs NZ.

NZ will give them a tough time fore sure.

 

[Zhasan]

Oh bhai log, normal cricketing logic and technical details will have zero impact on this game.

Result of this game will be determined off field before the game even starts just like Eng Ind game.

 

[szundercover]

Newzealand has pace and a quality left arm seamer and a spinner.This bowling can trouble england ,the only thing I am concerned about is the kiwis top order (barring Williamson)form.The keeper latham needs to be dropped for tom Blundell and sodhi needs to be dropped for tim southee ,these few changes will help the kiwis rectify their problems and win them the game against the poms.

 

[AdamM97]

Relax guys

ENG lost vs PAK and SL they can also lose vs NZ.

NZ will give them a tough time fore sure.

NZ will be hoping for a comeback after two back to back defeats and England will not risk losing the match and fail to qualify. It will be a virtual Quarter final for both England and Pakistan.

InshAllah that will be day for guptil he is in immense pressure to score runs .that might be his day

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

Nz

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Can't see nz winning, they haven't played any good cricket.

Dissapointed of what drama just happened..

 

[ali061091]

NZ. Backing Lockie Ferguson and Trent Boult.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Eng are no aus. If it was aus vs nz I would be a lot more nervous.
Eng can lose against nz if there is something in the surface

 

[WC-Passion]

It will be a green surface from what I've heard so if NZ win the toss and make England chase a competitive total (260+) it'll be 70-30 to NZ.

 

[thecrusade911]

Even if England wins, they should hopefully win by a huge margin. And then it will be for Pakistan how they will take their run rate above NZ.

 

[nads_rocks]

With the way Pakistan and Australia have handed New Zealand 2 losses especially Australia.

England is winning this hands down and why shouldn't they?

They deserve the semi final spot than other teams because they have got theire by playing good quality cricket!

 

[Mueez]

NZ iA

In Williamson We Trust.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

People are treating NZ like minnows. And England are not invincible. It can happen.

 

[Jeetlodil]

England for sure. Pakistan should Hope it is a thrashing for NZ

 

[Jeetlodil]

Oh bhai log, normal cricketing logic and technical details will have zero impact on this game.

Result of this game will be determined off field before the game even starts just like Eng Ind game.

True. I think so too. England are wining this WC

 

[Artaxerxes]

NZ will go through even if it loses because of net run rate.

 

[Mueez]

NZ will go through even if it loses because of net run rate.

How?

England will remain on 10 points if they lose.

Pakistan can get 11.

 

[Energy]

Is there a way to calculate what will be NZ final NRR if they lose by 100 runs?

 

[Ronaldo7]

How?

England will remain on 10 points if they lose.

Pakistan can get 11.

He's talking about nz not eng

 

[barah_admi]

Small ground, small boundaries. If the weather is hot, and is the pitch is flat and if NZ can bat first, they will be able to put on a good enough score and make England sweat....

 

[Mueez]

He's talking about nz not eng

Oh sorry.

 

[Mamoon]

First of England’s three successive victories. The World Cup is coming home.

 

[Hasan123]

England will win this game. We are out and we have ourselves to blame.

 

[taqi]

Toss will decide the game.

exactly NZ play first they'll win if England bat first they'll win

 

[Deewana]

First of England’s three successive victories. The World Cup is coming home.

England don't have in them to beat Aus and Ind in straight knockouts

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Oh bhai log, normal cricketing logic and technical details will have zero impact on this game.

Result of this game will be determined off field before the game even starts just like Eng Ind game.

Are you saying NZ is also fixing?

These are damaging claims.

Especially if you have no proof.

 

[Uzi]

Head says England. Heart says NZ.

I have a feeling that England will be too strong for the kiwis. I hope I’m wrong though.

 

[life4smile]

Can't see nz winning, they haven't played any good cricket.

Dissapointed of what drama just happened..

Difference between Result of Wednesday will be J.Roy or M.Guptil


J.Roy might just have played his due innings and Wednesday will be M.Guptil day

 

[Nikhil_cric]

First of England’s three successive victories. The World Cup is coming home.

If England get Australia or maybe even India on a flat track in the semis or final, they won't chase 335+ either.

 

[Caved12]

England for sure! I would be very surprised if NZ beat England on Wednesday.

 

[hb787]

Oh bhai log, normal cricketing logic and technical details will have zero impact on this game.

Result of this game will be determined off field before the game even starts just like Eng Ind game.

NZ can’t fall this bad, can they?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

England will be boosted by this win and will definitely start as clear favorites to win. New Zealand will lose, but will still qualify for the semis. The current top 4 teams will remain there for the final 4.

 

[Rana]

New Zealand would rather lose a close contest instead of trying to beat England.

Mark my words, I believe Pakistan is 70% unlikely to qualify. New Zealand will not approach this game as a must win unlike England. They will set their own targets if they some how lose the toss and have to bowl first. If England put them under the pump and pile 350, NZ will stroll their way to a casual 300-310 and virtually guaranteeing them qualification.

Our best hope is for New Zealand to bat first, Guptil, Taylor and Munro actually contributing some. Even then, New Zealand will not mind if the score is chased down after the 47th over.

Thoughts?

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ will just have to avoid huge loss and they will be through most likely. NZ has a huge NRR advantage.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yes a professional cricket team will strive to lose their second consecutive game, after being thrashed in their previous game.

The over-reaction is hilarious to say the least )

 

[Hasan123]

So what ? Pakistan have themselves to blame. Getting out for 100 odd against West Indies was embarrassing. Against Australia we had chances to win . Against India we were pathetic.

 

[Titan24]

Their match against Eng is before Pak vs BD so they can never guess by how much margin BD or Pak will win and that can cost them.

 

[Rana]

Their match against Eng is before Pak vs BD so they can never guess by how much margin BD or Pak will win and that can cost them.

As long as the margin is 60-40 against them, or 55-45 against them, it is highly unlikely that Pakistan will perform a miracle to overturn the nrr

 

[IAJ]

Again, just forget what others team do or don’t do. Pakistan can only thank themselves for being in this situation. Just make sure you beat Bangladesh and hope for the best.

 

[farazaidi]

Heart says NZ
Mind says ENG

May the better team win

 

[Manager101]

First of England’s three successive victories. The World Cup is coming home.

The world cup is again going to Australia.

 

[Zhasan]

You do realize we are not litigating this issue in a court of law?

 

[Captain caveman]

England are chokers!
100% guaranteed win for NZ!
Pak has to make sure it beats bangladesh!
I can see a scenario were NZ beat england and pak then go on to lose to bangladesh!
Hopefully, this won't happen and pak go into the semis!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Thoughts?

Fair point.

But I'd say NZ will go ino the game with a winning mentality. Of course if they find themselves in a situation they cant win it may force them to get the best nrr but this will mean England will have to dominate for most of the game. NZ have been playing really well so have a great chance to beat England. I just have a feeling Trent Boult and Ferguson will run through the English batting. Williamson and Taylor are in good form to post a very good total or defend one.

 

[Artaxerxes]

How?

England will remain on 10 points if they lose.

Pakistan can get 11.

If NZ loses it will still have 11 points and a good NRR.If England lose than Pakistan or Bangladesh will have a chance.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You do realize we are not litigating this issue in a court of law?

Okay let me put this another way.

Why is NZ conspiring with England/India to make Pakistan not qualify?

 

[Boi]

England to choke Insha’Allah!

Come on NZ, lets get this.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

In willy we believe <3

Come on kanuuu

 

[Boi]

Boult and Southee to rip through England just like in 2015 World Cup.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Expecting a one sided match in favour of England

 

[pakistani pride]

With the way Pakistan and Australia have handed New Zealand 2 losses especially Australia.

England is winning this hands down and why shouldn't they?

They deserve the semi final spot than other teams because they have got theire by playing good quality cricket!

Just stop right there. Look at the wickets in the last 5 days and look at the one today. Only way ENG good win was to get a road and they got one. Topping it off with a 59 meter boundary.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Eng have excellent record at the riverside

 

[QalandarFan]

Don't really see New Zealand winning Unless maybe it's a green wicket. We need to Ferguson to rattle the English batting and blow them away under 250 for NZ to win!

 

[Kingofswing]

New Zealand are coming into this game on the back of two back to back defeats. They will be looking to perform good and that's all we can really ask for... I think a good New Zealand performance beats England

 

[shazia9000]

i think the result has been decided before the match. i dont have any evidence but im sure u wont see a nz fighting hard for victory, and england hitting sixes off full tosses like today.

 

[cririri]

Don't think nz will win it,nz natting is too frail .

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Guptill, latham and munro have been poor.

These 3 a excellent players..

 

[Hasan123]

Guptill, latham and munro have been poor.

These 3 a excellent players..

Nichols played the last game. Don't think Munro will play on Wednesday.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

It's a green pitch, and England are chokers. NZ are winning this

 

[Hasan123]

Let's just all get behind New Zealand and hope for the best. If it's a flat pitch, England will win

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

The faith of so many in the hands of some hobbits so far from home

 

[zain41]

The faith of so many in the hands of some hobbits so far from home

Hobbits do end up destroying the ring

 

[PakLFC]

New Zealand insha Allah. Bat first putting 300 on the board then Trent Boult will blow away the English.

 

[Rad_Doc]

6 time world cup semifinalists and 2015 world cup runners up will win.

This mentally weak England team is no match for Williamson's men.

 

[szundercover]

I have a feeling newzealand will win this cause commies were saying the weather in durham will be cloudy and the pitch will be green.If thats the case newzealand will beat England.

 

[UP]

Kiwiiiisssssss

C’mon Kanuuuu

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Hobbits do end up destroying the ring

Let’s hope the ring is England
