2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand

[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...

[Donsteppa]

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

Perhaps a TSF collective application, with a CV outlining our track record of brilliantly conflicting advice from our respective couches? WHITE FERNS Head Coach (flexible location)

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.

Pity they couldn't have played the games in Summer instead of early Autumn
