ENG vs NZ Cricket Scorecard at Abu Dhabi, October 20, 2021
Get cricket scorecard of ENG vs NZ, ICC Men's T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches 2021/22 at Tolerance Oval, Abu Dhabi dated October 20, 2021.
Little Kane and the Neesh don't have much to do to improve on their competitors' performances in this one.
Given the flier that Guppy gave us, the middle order botched this badly.
Somewhat concerning that Kane's elbow is presumably troubling him enough that he's not having a bat.

So after the final qualifiers it seems the pools are:
Australia
England
South Africa
West Indies
Sri Lanka
BangladeshAfghanistan
India
New Zealand
Pakistan
Scotland
NamibiaTo me, we're clearly in the weaker pool - notwithstanding the likelihood that the Afghans have all sorts of mystery spinners (in fact, I think their best guy might have stayed home). Edit: I'm wrong - he quit as captain, but is there.
But, in the weirdness of ICC draws - the first pool game is India vs Pakistan and then our first two games are against Pakistan and India. So we won't be too far into the tournament and one of the big teams will be needing someone else to slip up against a minnow.

New Zealand
PakistanOnly two from the group make it through so it seems the first few games will pretty much decide who it's going to be from our pool.
Hopefully the warm games don't mean much, otherwise our tournament will probably be over a few days time.

Take them with a grain of salt, really.
It's a bit of a crapshoot.
Will be very handy if our somewhat lesser lights like Seifert and Phillips can get going and contribute in the big games.
Santner and Ish are going to have big jobs.

Saffas struggling a bit against the Aussies
23 for 3 after 4.1
Losing wickets regularly.
Zampa with 2 wickets in this over.
Saffas 6-82 after 14
-
Haha that was as bad as they come when it comes to run outs.
7-83
-
Saffas got a lot closer than I expected when I went to bed.
They had a chance at a caught and bowled in the 2nd to last over, that could have tipped the balance their way.
England delivered the Windies an absolute pasting - despite losing 4 wickets getting past the Windies mid-50s effort.
Early days - but, ball has dominated bat.
-
Holy Cow, Marty! Pakistan thumps India by 10 wickets!
Bangladesh had Sri Lanka on the ropes in the earlier game, but dropped a couple of catches and mucked around trying for cheap overs when they should have used Shakib to go for the throat. Momentum shifted quickly and they lost.
-
Omg our big games are going to be at 3am. That's a hell of a time for a T20 to start.
-
Also I'm gonna be pissed if we manage to win this thing, as that CWC farce would have cost us the chance of holding all 3 trophies at once.

What an abomination of a draw/schedule. Our first game is v Pakistan (their second game) yet there are an even number of teams (6) in the group.
We could have really done with those 5 abandoned matches.
Pakistan will be happy beating their mortal enemy but after abandoning our tour there, they will be really hungry for 2 wins from 2.
3am start is diabolical though -

f**k you Danyal Rasool.."punch above their weight" , although anything can happen in T20, at some stage these mofos are going to have to respect our achievements

I've heard Gary Stead and Kane Williamson talking up the relationship between the two sides. I think it'll probably be fine in the long run, but at the moment they're either just saying the 'right things' for the media, or they're very naïve...

I’m pretty happy to hold the most important trophy. Anything else is a bit of a bonus, nothing more.

I'm still fucking furious about the CWC and the test championship did nothing to subdue that. It was the biggest farce I've ever seen in an international sporting event. We have a world class team and we deserve to hold both trophies not just one.
