Rain affected match and the Bangladeshis have started on fire. Our bowlers looking like cannon-fodder so far!
Our bowling looks nowhere near good enough to challenge the pointy end of the tournament.
Tahuhu in particular has been poor. Going at around 7 runs per over against WI and Bangles is not going to cut it against Aus and Eng.
Wow, has Tahuhu pulled her form around!
2-7 off 6 overs
Too soon!
They need 7s for 30 overs. It's a big big ask
-
It looked like it could be a poor tournament for the White Ferns after the loss to the West Indies. But so far India and England haven't got off the plane yet, so it's all on...

Amelia Kerr on a hattrick...

How good!
-
To paraphrase Darth Vader, "We have you now"!
-
Was starting to get a bit worried there.....Good innings from Kaur
-
A couple of big overs, but India's total lack of intent for the first 40 overs has come back to bite them...

That second wicket was awesome.
-
Kiwi girls were doing pretty well against OZ until Gardner arrived. She's currently 32 off 12. A crazy strike rate in this competition. OZ currently 253-7 in the 49th.
-
Wellington just got run out at the Basin Reserve. Though that leaves Gardner on strike who is killing it - 40 off 16 now.
-
Gardner dropped (it was a sitter) on 40 and runs two while it's in the air. She then hits a six off the final ball ending up with 48 off 18. What a beast.
OZ finished up with 269 for 8.
-
We probably ended up chasing a respectable score considering the class above that Oz side is. Made them battle early which kept the score in check enough that we aren’t chasing over 300.
That was some scoring rate from Gardener -
Well that’s us stuffed.
-
Going to wreak havoc with our NRR.

And anyone playing Australia will have to deal as well.
Well done Australia,a very very good cricket side

We are nowhere near their class and abilities.
Our only hope is that no one else is either. -
Rubbish from Jensen.
These last three really need to support Satterthwaite to try to minimize the damage.
Somehow scrape to a hundred run defeat.
-
Just drove past. Big crowd on the bank.
-
Tahuhu pulling a Lance Cairns would also be handy!
-
I guess if we can scrape our way into the top half of the draw we still have a chance of jamming our way through two knockout games...
It's interesting having a World Cup with only eight teams... Bob Carter took over the coaching role two and a half years ago from a relatively divided dressing room. His win-loss record with the White Ferns has been poor, and he's made a couple of interesting selections at times... yet he still has a starters chance of being a World Cup winning coach if the Ferns can put a couple of top drawer performances together at the right time.
(And ideally avoiding Australia...)
-
Sadly, I was expecting a result like this. The big win in the warm-up game gave us false hope. Probably need to beat both SA and England to avoid Aust in a SF.

Witg the greatest respect to the Australian team ,
Some of shots the Kiwi team were playing looked like something you would see watching social cricket down at your local park ..
Is this more of an indightment on the local game ..? -

Is this more of an indightment on the local game ..?Absolutely. Huge difference between the two countries with one being well paid full time professionals (players and staff) the other cobbled together with players that stand out among poor competition

like the rugby - professionalism trumps attitude
-
Absolute shocker, lack of concentration & focus really cost NZ - we bowled well until the last 10 overs, then fed the Aussies too much loose bowling where they scored over 100 runs in that period, the batting was atrocious... need to have a big change of mindset if they're going to have any chance of making the top 4.
-
England plays SA later this afternoon. An important match.
Surprisingly (to me anyway), SA is actually 2nd in the ODI rankings. They seem to have struggled to put Bangladesh and Pakistan away. England will be in a deep hole if they lose again.
Rankings:
Aust
SA
England
India
NZ
Windies
Bangladesh
Pakistan -
Those rankings look about right to me, though home advantage should still be enough to elevate the White Ferns a place or two in this tournament. From the very little I've seen of South Africa over the last couple of years, they seem capable of rising or falling to about the level of their opposition. They looked very nervous in the field those last few overs against Pakistan...
-
South Africa have England 19/2 in the 6th over. Nervous times loom for the English batters...
-
Beaumont and Jones have well and truly steadied the ship for England.
-
Over at Seddon Park, Sidra Amin's 104 looks like being in a losing cause as she's the ninth wicket to fall with Pakistan still needing 20 off 13 against Bangladesh.
Pakistan went from 183/2 to 187/7 in the space of two overs.
Update: Bangladesh win a World Cup game for the first time by nine runs.
-
@donsteppa That's a real choke!
Meanwhile England's catching has been sloppy - two drops and an edge wide of slip that Dottin would have grabbed!.
-
South Africa now 158/4 needing 78 from 85. Laura Wolvaardt almost got a bit panicy and started hitting in the air off Kate Cross, and the field eventually obliged. 147/2 becomes 158/4...
-
South Africa win by 3 wickets with 3 balls to spare. England now drinking in the last chance saloon needing to beat both India and NZ. Likewise those 1 need to beat England etc etc. Great format and mostly great games.
-
@kiwipie Very similar format to the 1992 CWC format, which was probably my favourite.
I think we're probably best off if India beats England to probably send them home and we end up with a dogfight vs the Windies, where we should have the better NRR, but they'll have a somewhat easier finish.

I agree, good format. Simple.
Not pools, with super pools, where you carry some points over, but only against other teams that came through, so the weird incentives are ... weird.
The last over brain explosion vs WI and our capitulation against Aus mean we're up against it. Ideally win it all from here, but it looks like we may get through with one more narrow loss.
-
@nzzp We've ended up in a little triangle with India and Windies - each beating another - but, we won the NRR in that triangle.
2/3 should be enough, but it won't be easy. Botching that last over vs Windies has the pressure on.
-
It's ironic that England have come closest to beating Australia so far despite their 0-3 record.
-
Windies win the toss and batting first against Oz.
Bloody cold day for it. If the aussies thought the Basin was a bit chilly the other day they'll be really feeling the southerly today.
