Rain affected match and the Bangladeshis have started on fire. Our bowlers looking like cannon-fodder so far!
bowling short with one fielder on the onside, and getting spanked.
PUlled it back now, wsa 30/0 after 3 overs, now 65/1 after 11 (RR back under 6)
-
I assume that the Bangles attack is full of spinners which could make the chase more interesting.
-
bloody magic piece of fielding from Frankie Mackay. Runs out a batter with a quick return from her own bowling
-
We're in control now - as long as the rain holds off.
Without the length of the Bangladesh anthem, the amount of time it took their openers to take the field and their model bowler bowling 9 balls off a long run, we'd have got to the 20 over cut off by now!

How cool was that!! She had a great day.
I'm enjoying having Cricket on Sky.

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.
Our whole gameplan relies on our top 4 bats scoring big

yep, but two games is all you need. Good batting and average bowling with some luck gets you there.
We should be in the mix; not favourites, but a puncher's chance
-
West Indies look like they might have another close finish on the way; England are 58/3 after 16 chasing 226.
-
Plumb lbw. Game is on!
England 96-5 -
Now 154/7 with two brand new batters on 0 (0)...
-
@donsteppa great finish
This cricket is good fun eh
-
A great West Indies win by seven runs. A result that possibly favours us too.
England did what they did for most of the Ashes, batted atrociously and then left it for 9, 10, and 11 to do too much work. A couple of their established players seem to be there on reputation rather than form.
West Indies must fancy their chances of the top four now. Two wins from two against NZ and England, and with Pakistan and Bangladesh still to come, and a good chance against South Africa too.

What a catch from Dottin.

how they take that, with the absolute sitters that get dropped I do not know. It was awesome

I haven't seen all of the 2 games but it looked like way too much short stuff to me. Short of a length, just outside off and set the field accordingly - it is working for the Windies so far. Their non-spin bowlers are nothing much but they are getting wickets by applying pressure through not giving away easy runs.

And when players are trying to force shots, don't be clever just bowl straight
-
Tahuhu doesn't have any control of her line and length. So far it seems that a lack of pace is the better option on these pitches.

A Tahuhu or a Shrubsole type bowler just seems to be cannon fodder for top order batters in this tournament - at least so far...

Yep, you only need to finish in the top half. 7 Games, so 4 wins should get you there.
Australia look a lock (no surprises).
Windies very very likely with two wins against what were to be top opposition. Have to win 2/5 with Bangles and Pakistanis to come.at the bottom, it's hard to see the Bangles or Pakistanis getting there now.
So two have to go out, probably from England, NZ, SA, India
Today is a critical game for us - win, and we can afford to drop another 2 games against Aus and then one of either SA/Eng. Lose, and we need 2 out of three there, and that (while doable) is much harder.
England are up against it, although the first loss to Aus isn't a surprise; they could easily run the table.
NZZP's probable final 4:
Aus
WI
India
NZ -

NZYep, I have Australia and the West Indies as definite finalists (assuming that WI don't slip up against Pakistan or Bangladesh). Then India, and for then the fourth position I can't make my mind up.
NZ v England game will be crucial, and South Africa don't seem like a bad side either...
-
England play SA and India next so will need to win at least one of those games to survive. Then NZ.
-
Rain is bound to play a role as well. England will be very nervous to avoid a washout against the bottom teams.
We were lucky we didn't suffer that vs Bangladesh.
-
NZ batting first so will need to post 250+ to be competitive. Aust and Eng scored over 600 runs at this ground.

early runout Bates.
Damn.
-
160/3 after 30 but slowing down. 50 to Kerr and Satterthwaite and Green in right now. 280 would be decent
-
Vastrakar makes up for the runout by dropping a sitter of a catch.
-
Dropping quickly as the chase for runs comes on.
240/8 now and Vastraker on a hat trick -
India apparently 1 over behind the over rate.
Not sure of the rules here. -
That was terrible. A sitter dropped then the bats ran two while the non catcher was busy being annoyed at herself
-
9 down now. Last over. Can we eek out the last 5 balls for some runs? At least 5 needed for par.
-
260/9 final score. 5 singles squeezed from the last over
-
Par is ~280 I reckon. NZ will need to bowl well and take early wickets.
-

Yeah - that early runout of Bates kept the handbrake slightly on for a fair bit of our innings. We seemed to play most of it one wicket down more than I liked.
We need to do the same to them!
-
Very average batting effort, really needed another 30 or 40 runs, someone had to get a hundred & be there near the end - astonished Martin is batting so high in the order, struggles to turn the strike over & hardly has any power in her shots, woeful, surely she should be batting down at 10 or 11 ? ...on such a great batting pitch if we don't get a quick 2 or 3 early wickets to give us a chance they're going to win pretty easily.
Our opening bowlers need to get it pretty full in good areas on or just outside off stump, don't want any of that short wide crap that will give them a flyer. -

We are def 20 runs shy of where we could be but 5 an over can quickly put pressure on through a number of ways and I don't think the pitch really matters much.
-
Great start.
We've kept them pinned down and picked up a wicket.
We must be about 30 runs ahead at the same point.

....and thats how you quickly turn your 260 into a 300 equivalent. The wickets are a bonus.
