*Official* T20 Tri-Series in NZ (NZ, Pakistan, Bangladesh)

[trundler]

Fantastic intent from Shadab. Sodhi is cannon fodder. Thankfully he only plays t20s for us.

I had a feeling he'd go for runs today after what happened to Nawaz. The other leggie doing it is funny too.

 

[Bahnz]

This has been a shocking effort from NZ even by their recent standards.

 

[NZTailender]

Pakistan's game to lose

 

[thundaboult]

Tbf to our bowlers and fielders...a lot of dew out there ay?

 

[straw man]

Looking like a win by the 17th over (or earlier).

Yeah NZ batting through the middle overs at an SR of 100, plus Pakistan #intent, plus dropped catch, plus Sodhi getting slaughtered, and Pakistan would have to truly Pakistan this up to lose from here.

They don't seem to do that anywhere near as much under Rizwan either.

Pakistan had SL 58/5 then let them score 170 courtesy of dropped catches in the last KO game they played.

Also Babar is the captain.

so you're saying there's still a chance

Shadab scoring is pretty great tho

 

[thundaboult]

sheesh devon could be a centre back for all i know

 

[trundler]

Haha, second time Tickner has done that today.

 

[thundaboult]

wow, 137km from southee

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Looking like a win by the 17th over (or earlier).

It has lasted longer than I thought. Big over this for Tickner.

 

[thundaboult]

loved the intent from nawaz but does he have the quality to be batting inside the top 6?

 

[thundaboult]

Tickner always a mixed bag ay

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Big over this for Tickner.

And it was.

 

[straw man]

On the positive side, neither Sodhi or Tickner should make the NZ XI for the tournament.
Though I know Ferguson's fitness is in doubt, which means a choice between Tickner and Milne as backup.

 

[straw man]

good Babar

 

[trundler]

Unreal consistency from Babar and Rizwan. Gun. Broke the chase's back with a flying start against Southee and Boult when it was swinging nicely.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats Pakistan. Far too good.

Apart from Chapman and perhaps Southee, everyone was pretty poor.

I'm a big Rizwan fan but he got 4 off 12. It was too cold to swing
