2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand

[nzzp]

so we're done.

Our NRR has killed any small chance we had burgling a qualification spot. Down to a shootout between England and India for the fourth slot; both with similar NRR, but India has SA, and England has Bangladesh.

Barring washouts and assuming both win, it's strong advantage England right now. Goes to show - they got written off too early.

That said, SA vs WI looks the more interesting semi than the one with Australia.

Roll on the knockouts, can't wait!

[Bovidae]

@nzzp WI aren't guaranteed to be in the semis. They will be cheering for SA to beat India. Otherwise WI are gone too. Their loss to Pakistan could prove fatal.

true.

Was looking at it from our perspective, so ignored them as we couldn't catch them. Fair poitn.

[Donsteppa]

Australia are 27/3 after 10 overs chasing 136 against Bangladesh. A 43 over match.

[Donsteppa]

41/4...

[Donsteppa]

70/5 after 17.4... no bails at the Basin, too windy...

For significance:

[nzzp]

This game sums up our tournament.

Brainless batting decisions, throwing away strong positions, and just not good enough.

Frustrating to watch

[Bovidae]

Comical in the last few overs and likely to be bowled out with overs to spare again.

Smithy is really having a crack at them too. Fair enough. He’s pissed off

[Donsteppa]

Katey Martin makes up for being a run-out queen earlier with several boundaries at the end. 265/8

[canefan]

Do we have any chance of progressing now?

So Bob Carter gets to go back to working at a higher level at NZC... talk about failing upwards: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/women-in-sport/128180263/disappointing-world-cup-tournament-not-the-reason-for-bob-carters-white-ferns-exit

What the last ball win by the South Africans meant to the West Indies last night:

[Bovidae]

I ended up watching the last few overs in the India-SA game. What a costly nb from India.

NZ finished where they deserved to by losing to all the semi-finalists.

[ACT Crusader]

I’ve watched a few of the games and highlights of a few others, some quality cricket.

But surely this is one of the longest cricket tournament’s ever?

Yep, by the standards of some of the past mens CWC's, this almost seems like a short tournament.
