We really haven't made them work for it

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

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

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.
Really??!!!!
I reckon that's utter BS mate
We got well and truly smacked

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.

We dropped 1 catch early, and 1 late that didn't matter?
For me, we lost it with the bat. Left 15-20 runs out there and that set the tone

Not for a part time keeper I guess. But an actual keeper should take that pretty much every time, in fact I'd expect them to get two hands to it. Conway made that look hard, I've taken plenty of low catches to my right and I'm nowhere near professional level, they aren't that difficult with gloves on.

The death batting was disappointing but I thought we still had a score to defend. But we needed to come out buzzing in the field and bowling to a field. We looked flat and pie after pie, the game was being taken away from us.
I expected better from us in the second innings

@ACT-Crusader agree completely. Pakistan's strength is their bowling and we managed to put a score on them, and then didn't fire a single shot in the field against a pretty average batting lineup. The 2nd innings was by far the most disappointing.
