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

[thierry henry]

My forecast on Team NZ's performance broken out by player

1) Finn Allen - will fall cheaply as the occassion will be too much for his experience level
2) Conway - Seems to have been found out by the opposition video analysts (wide outside off stump) Look for 20 off 20 balls and then out.
3) Kane - has the old girl come into form? He will top score for New Zealand and has nerves or steel and always up for a big occassion. 60 off 42 balls.
4) GP - His habit of getting dropped can't continue. Out for a bright and breezy 18 off 10 balls.
5) Mitchell - it will be up to play the T20 game of his life for NZ to win as someone will need to give Kane a stand while scoring quickly themselves.
6) Neesham - Out cross batting one of the Pakistani quicks and caught at deep mid wicket for 6 off 4 balls.
7) Santner - will do everything asked of him at number 7

New Zealand all out for 155 and what will follow will be a low scoring thriller which could go either way.
The above prediction I am most sure of is Finn Allen to not come off. Finals and playoffs are next level cricket of a higher standard than regular round T20 world cup matches.

Yo this was pretty good really

The disappointed Indian posters can suck my taint though.

Should tell you how good Pak have been tbh. We wont be this disappointed if you just scraped through in typical Pak fashion. The bloody team look like absolute champions.

Just got back home and about to check the scorecard. Did Santner win it for the kiwi land?

Don’t blame him tbh. It was Soult + Ferguson ‘s fault

I just thought of adding Eng with NZ there.

What is your meme ? Post it.

Just checked the score in detail.

Geez we made it tougher. I think game should have been buried by 18 th over given the opening partnership.

Low key Naseem death bowling has been really important in last few matches.

 

[ParwazHaiJunoon]

hb & I were the only posters who were supporting Naseem even during his 3rd consecutive bad away tour (NZ 2020/21).

Now, I am rooting for Haider Ali. Hope he gets consistent chances at the top order.
He & Haris would be much better & consistent & deadly than any of Eng's opening combo since 2015.

Hey I am also a fan of Shadab, Faheem and even Shan.

He is a good test bat. Probably a good ODI bat and not the worst T20 bat. I feel you would have collapsed far harder had it not been for him the first game. Has good technique and handles the short ball well. Need that in Aus.

 

[Victor Ian]

I reckon this is probably 1 run too few for Pakistan.

nailed it

 

[Xuhaib]

Yeah Shan has been a decent addition in the playing XI. Most casuals in Pakistan hate him as he is not boom boom enough but he is clearly adding a lot of value when both Bobby and Riz have gone of the boil
