2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand
-
It seems that a few larger totals in games pre World Cup set NZ expectations of a decent first innings score to be higher than was required/realistic.
Against South Africa, 197-4 with 10 overs to go and we batted as if 270 was required, 228 was achieved - when 250 would have been enough.
Against England, 130-2 with 20 overs to go and only reach 203 when 220 would have been enough.

how good is the drainage at Seddon Park?
I'm sure KJ and his team have a plan but there will still be a lot of surface water to remove.
Could they start if the rain stops?
It's meant to be raining until early evening so a 10-15 over slog would be the only option.
I think it may be a 20 over minimum. I think I heard that in the comms in another game

So that's ~3 h needed, the length of a T20 match. Still heavy rain with more forecasted. The weather may improve, and I don't know if they can continue later under lights.

the rain radar shows the rain about to finish. GIven it's the band we had in Auckland, it pretty well stopped! Blue skies now.
Ir eckon the weather shouldn't stop play if they get going. It'll only be the outfield condition preventing the start.

While they'll finish 7th or 8th, Pakistan aren't a guaranteed win for their opponents:
Great to see this underway.
West indies in trouble,38-2 after ten in a twenty over match

West indies choking now
63/7 after 16.1
Does this mean we are now a chance again?
not really - need people to lose/get NR AND our NRR to really pick up

Definitely would need AUS and SA to win all of their games (the one between them doesn't matter) and then Pakistan and Bangladesh to help out as well - but not too much. It must be possible but very, very unlikely.
-
Yep, unfortunately the White Ferns are toast. Even if results somehow go our way, I think we'd need to beat Pakistan by a margin much larger than we are capable of doing.
As they showed last night, and in their close losses v South Africa & Bangladesh, Pakistan are by no means a guaranteed win - let alone a large one...
I think the win by Pakistan over the West Indies mainly improved India and England's chances.

100%. West Indies have a horrific NRR, which will bite them as tiebreakers.
I still think it's the best format. Ultimately, if a noresult or poor NRR knock you out, it's because you were on the fringe. Good sides will find a way. We are unfortunately not a good side right now
-
Aussie & S.A. have far too much class for the rest of them - anything can happen in the knockout stage, but would be a massive surprise if they don't play in the final.
S.A. were looking at 300, were about 200 with 10 overs left, reckon they left 30 runs out there... the Aussie batters make the most of running the first run quickly giving them the chance of turning it into two, the rest don't consistently do that so miss out on a fair few runs. -

I think if Bangladesh beat India today then we are right back in it.
Assuming Australia, SA and England all qualify.
Us, India and Windies would all have one game left to play - NZ vs Pakistan, Windies and India both vs South Africa.
We'd have to win and Windies and India both lose - which on form should be expected, but not guaranteed.
Edit: Unfortunately the Bangles aren't even going to get close.
Stick a fork in us.

Even if NZ had made the semi's they wouldn't had gone any further... too shite in the batting, can't form decent partnerships that would give us really good totals.

we'd be a puncher's chance. Couple of the top order fire, and it's on like kong ... lon gshots, but starters. Particularly at home.

We would have to rely on the other team not playing that well... but yeah, anything can happen when it comes to the knockout stuff, really disappointing that we've played so poorly at home.
