1st Semi Final | NZ vs Pak | Sydney, 09 Nov 2022

[Bahnz]

If Pakistan had been more aggressive with their running they would’ve won this inside 18 overs. They’ve thrashed us while basically half-arsing it between the wickets.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats Pakistan. Good luck for the final.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Pak tried hard to choke but NZ didn't let them.

Well done, Pakistan. Pretty crushed from my point of view, but I hope they do well in the final.

Just one of those days for NZ. Pakistan had a fair bit of luck today. Commiserations kiwi fans. The disappointed Indian posters can suck my taint though.

 

[straw man]

Ha, congrats Pakistan. Made hard work of the last bit of the chase but deserved winners. Bowlers (and fielders) were simply excellent and thoroughly outplayed ours.
Babar and Rizwan showed the class we knew they had too.

 

[Skyliner]

Another incredible last over finish in a T20 match. This format keeps delivering.

 

[Moss]

Congrats Pakistan! Top fielding and bowling effort, properly switched on for the knockout game.

Commiserations NZ on another defeat near the finish - good effort, but lots to ponder before the dust settles. Could well be the last WC for Kane, Boult, Southee and a couple of others.

Is any Indian fans disappointed by this? Would much rather play Pakistan than the Kiwis at an ICC Final.

This is obv assuming we get past England somehow tomorrow, which is not happening IMO

India - Pakistan final is potentially an amazing spectacle

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What is Ferguson’s strike rate in this form of the game?

He leaked too many runs for no return

 

[Bahnz]

Brilliant cricket from Pakistan, deserve to be in the final, massively rooting for a rematch at the G with India.

NZ not close to good enough even before they put in an embarrassing performance in the field. As suspected from the pre-tournament form - just not that good a side anymore. Well played Mitchell though.

Pakistan beat England at the MCG. 1992.

Congratulations Pakistani fans for yet another final for this Champion Team , absolute Box Office .
