T20 World Cup NZ v PAK

[ACT Crusader]

That Sodhi drop was so bad. It was an absolute dolly.

[No Quarter]

Finally catching one now is just annoying

6 more wickets, and we're right back in this

Hopefully bowled or LBW with this lamentable fielding...

[No Quarter]

India and England will be pleased to get Pakistan in the final. They are a decent bowling unit but limited with the bat outside of Babar and Rizwan

[voodoo]

Classic

[LABCAT]

Geez, Southee at the death, that's not great.

[No Quarter]

We really haven't made them work for it

[canefan]

Terrible game from us. Pakistan far too good

[voodoo]

A wide then a lazy punch past you, way to finish Southee

[KiwiMurph]

The difference in the quality of fielding/bowling in this game was gigantic.

[Donsteppa]

Pakistan bowled very well and were enthusiatic in the field. We fielded terribly with unimaginative captaincy.

We were lucky to take it to the final over.

[No Quarter]

The most annoying thing about that is Pakistan weren't actually too good, our bowling and fielding were just appalling from start to finish.

[ARHS]

Yeow. But for the dropped catches we would have been well in it. Was closer than I expected and some near misses with 3 or 4 overs remaining.

[ACT Crusader]

Outplayed.

Well done Pakistan.

I do prefer the two sides in the other semi, but Pakistan were my smokey choice prior to the tournament starting because of their bowling.

Impressive bowling backed by their fielding. What an opening partnership! Nine T-20 century partnerships for those two. Three in T-20 WCs.

Black caps arghhhhhh

Really??!!!!

I reckon that's utter BS mate

We got well and truly smacked

[Chris B.]

Outplayed in all facets tonight.

If we'd taken all our catches, though, we likely would have won - despite that our bowlers were pretty sub par.

Not able to exert pressure.

So Pakistan's batting lineup is extremely flaky. Basically, they all suck except for Babar and Rizwan. If Conway takes that (pretty regulation) catch at the start then Pakistan are in trouble with the chase. So I agree with the statement that but for dropped catches we would have been well in it. Gutted that we decided to have our worst fielding performance in a long time in a WC semi final.

Low and a full dive going against his weight - no way that was pretty regulation.

When you have an under par score in a do or die match, you have to mix it up with the bowling with playing one of your slower bowlers early.

Once again Sodhi and SatNav go for less than the required RR (6.5 rpo) and our 3 quicks get tapped around for 8+, 7.5 and 9+

Just doesn’t make any sense.
