So - the final against the unbeaten Australians tonight. Notably, they have bowled first and won all four of their matches.
Given my expectation that whomever bats first is going to be thinking they might need 250, my strategy would be to win the toss and let the Aussies go for it.
They may go too hard and get themselves in trouble - or they may not go quite hard enough.

having the final of such a massive tournament on a Wednesday is so strange

A more cynical fulla might assume NZC thought we wouldn't make it!

Yeah, get the bowling out of the way and back our in-form batsmen to chase anything looks to be the best tactic.

I reckon we'll win, purely down to Oz being unbeaten 😁 caveat is that if we lose I suspect we'll get pumped. Hard.

The whole tournament seems to have been scheduled by blindfolded drunks paying darts.

Tactic yes. It is more likely to be fill them up with pies and get to bed early.

@chris-b well that's us fucked.
Yeah - it's like we've called nine spades without the joker and are leading with the two bowers.
It could be all over very quickly.

it's traditional for our best batsman of a tournament to absolutely fail in the final isn't it?

@mariner4life and out goes Guppy.
