CWC 19 : New Zealand V Pakistan

[Sarge]

Another Pakistan wicket. Come on NZ - we need the help!

excellent catch it was too

 

[Foley]

How good does Lockie Ferguson look?
NZ gave a decent attack.

 

[Sarge]

good contest between Fergurson and Hafeez on going

15 overs .... 64-2

 

[Sarge]

that was a proper short ball bouncer to Hafeez

couldnt get out the way in time, smacked into the grill on his headgear, with some force too

 

[Sarge]

close but not quite ... Azam edged it, but instead of a catch the ball hit the fielder in his chest

Pakistan notched up their 100 in the 28th over

 

[Sarge]

superb leg spin from Satner ... NZ really need a wicket or 3 .... skipper Williamson selects himself to have a bowl next

good call that! ... Hafeez gone for 32 .... 110-3 at the halfway point in Pakistan's innings

 

[Sarge]

116-3 ...22 overs left Pakistan marginally looking like they may get the win today... though a few quick wickets would change that outlook

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Surely NZ have to bowl them out. You'd imagine that if Pakistan bat all their overs they will win.

... with 99 needed & 17 overs left NZ need to start taking wickets, sharpish

 

[Sarge]

spin bowling seems to suit the Edgebaston pitch .... and who are England playing at Edgebaston? ...yep, India , with their spin bowlers !

 

[Sarge]

Pakistan pass the 150 mark .... 154-3 ...14 overs to go

 

[Sarge]

bowl em wide like that and you deserve to be hit for six !

 

[Sarge]

Pakistan have started notching up their run rate in the past few overs...10 overs to go ...55 needed

 

[Sarge]

14 needed .... 4 overs to go ... no wickets for ages ... oh dear , not good for England

 

[Sarge]

Babar on 99 ... 13 needed ... 3 overs left

 

[Sarge]

got his ton .... 7 to win from 2.3 overs

 

[Foley]

Well that just about means that England will need to win both of their games.
The odds must be against it ...

 

[Oldham]

In the smelly stuff again then. Good old England?

 

[unification]

Since the 21st June, only one score of over 300. It’s like old fashioned cricket again.

This is fast becoming a perfect storm for England ...
