Looks like it. Giving Ravindra 8+ overs is silly, he's not a wicket-taking bowler.Thor Sedan wrote: Thu Nov 09, 2023 11:25 am Is this going to be one of those last wicket stands where somehow SL get up to 200 and heap pressure on NZ?

10 overs and 50 runs too late, but still NZ should get this total at a cruise.

If we crawl past this target, it is safe to say that no team in the knockouts will be fearing having to face us.
Injuries haven't been great - but we seem to be in an odd sense of decline.

Unsure how you beat a team by 5 wickets with 160 balls remaining and still look scratchy.
But great to be in the knockouts (barring a truly stupendous result from 1 of the remaining 2 games)

Not sure how this work. Black Caps have a .763 run rate vs Pakistan .036. Pakistan obvious have to beat England. Afghanistan the Proteas.

I think they need to bat first and then win by around 280ish runs.OomStruisbaai wrote: Thu Nov 09, 2023 3:53 pm Not sure how this work. Black Caps have a .763 run rate vs Pakistan .036. Pakistan obvious have to beat England. Afghanistan the Proteas.

Today its Proteas vs Afganistan. Nothing in this one for both teams. Afganistan need a 438-run victory against South Africa to push New Zealand out of fourth place on net run rate is impossible. Proteas can use this as a trial run batting second and lift themself after the India drubbing.

That was much better. 
Bring on the Aussis.
Bring on the Aussis.Only because they only have Zampa as a decent spinner. 3 spinners against Afghanistan nearly screwed us. We like pace bowling!

I don't think I've ever seen runouts replayed as much as this, ever.
