CWC - NZ v Sri Lanka
-
Good opening partnership to get us going despite Conway not dealing too well with Chameera, who finally got him.
Only 86 more to get and we have out two best bats out there in Kane and Ravindra.
-
Spoke too soon. Poor shot and timing by Ravindra.
We’ve lost two quick ones.
-
Sheesh that was terrible.
Chapman and Mitchell in a bad mix up and Chapman is run out.It was Chapman’s call and Mitchell sent him back.
Chapman not a happy camper.

@ACT-Crusader it went behind square isn't that Mitchell's call?

That’s the non-strikers call, so Chapman.
Now Mitchell goes to a brilliant catch.

Ahh yes you are right. Just watched another replay.

We are losing too many wickets for a simple chase and target.

It's worth it to try and improve net run rate by getting the target as quickly as possible.

I agree on trying to score quickly, but I thought three of our wickets were down to poor decisions. Don’t mind Mitchell’s he was as least going for it.

New Zealand all but by the most improbable of mathematical possibilities locked in their place in the World Cup semi-final with a dominant five-wicket win - with 160 balls left - against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. The result means they move to ten points, and a net run rate (NRR) of 0.743. That essentially means Pakistan need to beat England by 287 runs, while Afghanistan need an even more fantastical 438-run win over Australia if they are to surpass New Zealand's NRR.
If Pakistan happen to chase, this becomes even more unlikely a possibility, as they would need to chase a hypothetical target of 150 in 3.4 overs.
