NZZP's probable final 4:
Aus
WI
India
NZYep, I have Australia and the West Indies as definite finalists (assuming that WI don't slip up against Pakistan or Bangladesh). Then India, and for then the fourth position I can't make my mind up.
NZ v England game will be crucial, and South Africa don't seem like a bad side either...

Par is ~280 I reckon. NZ will need to bowl well and take early wickets.
Yeah - that early runout of Bates kept the handbrake slightly on for a fair bit of our innings. We seemed to play most of it one wicket down more than I liked.
We need to do the same to them!

Very average batting effort, really needed another 30 or 40 runs, someone had to get a hundred & be there near the end - astonished Martin is batting so high in the order, struggles to turn the strike over & hardly has any power in her shots, woeful, surely she should be batting down at 10 or 11 ? ...on such a great batting pitch if we don't get a quick 2 or 3 early wickets to give us a chance they're going to win pretty easily.
Our opening bowlers need to get it pretty full in good areas on or just outside off stump, don't want any of that short wide crap that will give them a flyer. -

We are def 20 runs shy of where we could be but 5 an over can quickly put pressure on through a number of ways and I don't think the pitch really matters much.

Great start.
We've kept them pinned down and picked up a wicket.
We must be about 30 runs ahead at the same point.
....and thats how you quickly turn your 260 into a 300 equivalent. The wickets are a bonus.

Excellent pressure bowling from both ends, squeezing them really well, keep it going & they'll have to take more chances, increasing our chances of taking some more wickets.
